Selena Robinson did not misspeak. She revealed her belief system through her words. It's not something an apology can fix.
That's why many have rejected her non-apology. You can't be a leader with such virulently racist beliefs.

Makes sense that so many of us are disoriented by the garish spectacle of western govts' desperate political signalling in support of genocide. It's beyond the scope of a normal human conscience.
So let this be your reminder: your moral clarity is needed, more than ever, now.
Thousands of buildings have been destroyed. Mass casualties are unlike anything seen in past years. The medical system is on its knees.

Great breakdown about how subtly our democracy can be undermined by fake populism. The way to counter this is to build people power around policies that actually benefit us as working people: taxing the ultra-rich, reining in corporations, building a stronger social safety net.
To win power, Pierre Poilievre will rely on an effective, dangerous playbook.
Masquerading as an anti-establishment populist, he aims to ride anger over inequality & cost of living into office—then hand the keys to the 1 percent.

I've long advocated for a windfall tax, not just for fossil fuel companies, but for corporations in multiple sectors that have used the pandemic as an opportunity for price gouging & record profiteering. A small tax will go a long way toward paying for services that BCers need.
The fossil fuel industry is feasting on subsidies & windfall profits while household budgets shrink & our planet burns.
We need to hold the industry and its enablers to account.
