In today's The Big Picture, Jay Kuo identifies and calls out the classic fascist tactics Trump and Musk are deploying, so that we can fight back against them more effectively.

Yeah, he was so terrible that they asked him to stay on an extra two years after his initial 5-year mandate expired. 🙄 Pierre Poilievre thinks we’re stupid. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia

Knowing that Dynalife was insolvent, Danielle Smith and UCP paid them $100 million dollars to take it over. Would hate to see supporters go away broke. FFS DynaLife insolvent less than 9... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Government irresponsibility has consequences. The UCP’s junk science and fearmongering have eroded trust in vaccines—now, measles cases are rising, and kids’ lives are at risk. This is completely preventable. Parents, get your kids vaccinated.

As global warming accelerates, so too will sea level rise: "Every year is a little bit different, but what’s clear is that the ocean continues to rise, and the rate of rise is getting faster and faster." abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

@mark-carney.bsky.social Can we follow suit? Can we trust them in a war given the source code is not available and we depend on the US for upgrades and mission plans?

cultmtl.com/2025/02/cana... Pierre Poilevre wants to loosen gun control, and go to an American gun culture. Do Canadians want to feel fear every time they send their children to school? #NeverPoilievre

Good news! 📰 As the party that avidly promotes protecting children from dangerous LGBTQ people, we are announcing new legislation allowing kids full unsupervised access to firearms! Kids will now be safer than ever! #ableg #abpoli t.co/gOuQxVqrob

The UCP is implicated in the worst corruption this province has ever seen: Millions in taxpayer dollars funneled to UCP insiders, political pressure to rig contracts, and a Minister of Health refusing to answer questions. Albertans deserve better. We need answers. Now.

The UCP government has spent millions of dollars storing its stock of expiring Turkish Tylenol and unused personal protection equipment (PPE) purchased from MHCare Medical, adding millions in previously unknown costs to the Corrupt Care scandal.

💸 Millions wasted. ❌No accountability. The UCP spent MILLIONS on unusable PPE from a company with no medical supply history. Now, it’s costing Albertans over $5M in storage fees. Danielle Smith and Adriana LaGrange keep deflecting blame. Demand better: CorruptCare.ca youtube.com/shorts/lfjCq...

People who became Premier of Alberta without having a seat in the Legislature: -Danielle Smith -Jim Prentice -Don Getty -William Aberhart -Herbert Greenfield

Danielle Smith is MapleMAGA.

Danielle Smith is a traitor.

~"Regardless of what’s driving her decisions, though, one thing should be clear by now: Smith has no interest in actually playing for Team Canada. The rest of us should start acting accordingly." archive.ph/QFvXE

Thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being cut down to build a four lane highway to transport people to the COP30 climate summit in Brazil. Yes, this is a real story. (🎥 BBC) 1/2

Are you a 🇺🇸 doctor or nurse practitioner who wants to leave the U.S.? British Columbia is fast-tracking credentials for doctors and NPs to work in BC! 🇨🇦 #USA #doctors #nursepractitioners #Canada

www.bbc.com/news/article.... Americans aren’t alone in demonstrated hypocrisy and idiocy. By the way - has anyone changed their conference participation to reduce their climate footprint? I always feel odd flying a long distance to pontificate about enviro issues🧪 when I can just email a paper

An Israeli social media trend shows people prank-calling family members, pretending to seek donations for Palestinian children, to mock their suffering in Gaza.

11 year old Mark Carney writes to the Edmonton Journal:

“Ontario slapping 25% surcharge on U.S.-bound electricity Monday” We need other provinces to follow. Surcharge on critical minerals and potash until threat of tarrifs are gone. Trump is using threat of tarrif to hurt our economy. We should blow back hard. #elbowsup www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7476515

Bribes. They’re known as bribes.

This is the way. Write your pension fund, school, city comptroller and demand divestment from Tesla.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

This is not the time for politics as usual.

@mark-carney.bsky.social please release a video statement about the tarrifs and government response. We need to hear what liberal government would do.
