You won’t hear it in the mainstream media, but there’s a simple reason why Canada aggressively backs Israel: both are violent settler-colonial states whose policies toward Palestinians serve the US empire. We made a @thebreachmedia video to break it down. https://t.co/nCfpTPrjHR

That’s a lot of words to obfuscate that you're breaking the rules. It’s not complicated: if you wanna be a NDP leadership candidate, you need to apply to become one. If you wanna accept donations, you need to do it through the party. You’ve done neither.
A response to @Martin_Lukacs, “political advisor” to @avilewis, malicious’ & false allegations. We demand @TheBreachMedia publish a retraction of Lukacs’ false allegations against the Yves Engler for NDP leader campaign. In a recent interview Mr. Lukacs accused me of staging a

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy. I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together. We need a government that serves the many, not the money. Join in. https://t.co/VIM2jcgmSt

Mark Carney is slashing public service, supercharging military spending, and ramming through a right-wing agenda—while Liberal voters stay stuck in denial. @Martin_Lukacs says it’s time to clue in to what’s happening, follow the money—and put up a fight.

A war of annihilation is unfolding in Gaza, but you wouldn’t know it from Canada’s establishment media. What they produce isn’t coverage—it’s a cover-up. @thebreachmedia is publishing a new book, a call for truth-telling in journalism. Order it here: https://t.co/dbD7M0bEBW

To counter Trump we need to stomp on Indigenous rights, empower extractive companies Canadians have no control over, and spread a lie of “decarbonized bitumen," so that most resources (80%) can keep being exported…to the US? You can wrap any BS in a flag.

Find someone to 'attack' you the way Canada has 'attacked' the oil industry. Alberta has never produced so much oil, and the industry has never made so much profit. This repetitive talking point that Alta has grievances cuz oil was suppressed is pure fantasy. #cdnecon #cdnpoli
Poilievre said that a decade of Liberal attacks on Alberta’s oil and gas sector have brought tensions to a boiling point https://t.co/Z19MgUFlfp
