this clip is quite old, but anyone feeling surprised or shocked by today’s result clearly hasn't been paying attention. Obviously I'm biased, but my mate David had a clearer diagnosis of contemporary politics than anyone alive now.

The lesser of two evils approach to politics will always lose in the face of fascism. The Ds thought they could win by pointing out how deranged Trump is. They did this while sponsoring a genocide, taking a hard line on immigration, promising some version of the status quo.

Anti-migrant announcement today will impact 1.2 million ppl Surge of right wing policies - Canada to globally - cant be tackled thru single issue politics. Liberalism & neoliberalism are breeding ground for fascism & can only be fought thru anti capitalist, anti colonial front
We’re going to significantly reduce the number of immigrants coming to Canada for the next two years. This is temporary — to pause our population growth and let our economy catch up. We have to get the system working right for all Canadians.

"To recognize Palestinians are human has become a flashpoint, a red line to not be crossed in Washington discourse, an invitation to be tagged as an antisemite."

It is not antisemitic to defend Palestinian human rights. And it’s past time for more American Jews to say so to correct a media that’s lost the thread.

NEW: Feds withheld report showing contaminated water in Fort Chipewyan, say local leaders. A 2017 report found toxins above legal limits at 33 of 35 test sites, but local communities were never notified. Brandi Morin (@Songstress28) reports. https://t.co/HYBXw0it7s

Listen to this, pinch yourself, and then listen to it again. I can't believe that this is the BBC. That's a top, top analysis. That's journalism. That's how media outlets should work. Well-done, @BBCWorld

On September 30th, the systems which uphold colonialism are still in place and the harm continues. Reconciliation in practice has shifted away from transformation or ending harm and towards comforting Canadians. Read the full Brief: https://t.co/ALCqn6RIcE

Very proud of the Indigenous/settler campaign team at ReconciliAction, whose 'civil obedience' training to stop toxic dumping yesterday brought the issues affecting Kanesatake to #1 spot on Global National News. No mean feat for a grassroots group!

Couldn't agree more with @SethDKlein's take on the state of climate advocacy in Canada. Not sure that climate is still the organizing focal point for us that it was in 2019 but that's no reason to sit on our hands until we figure it out!

We need to be more aggressive in our fight with the fossil fuel companies and their financial institution enablers
