Before you cheer on trampling people w/horses or the deployment of tear gas, remember that these images are causing people to radicalize & become sympathetic to the messaging of the far right as they happen.

Now we have been vindicated in Federal Court, which has dismissed her lawsuit as lacking any factual foundation. Ms. Sa’d has been ordered to pay the Canadian Anti-Hate Network legal costs.
The far-left want equal rights 4 all. The far-right want to redefine citizenship and discriminate against, exile, or murder people who don't meet their identity-based purity tests. The far-left protests violent removals of houseless people. The far-right throw stones at the PM.
Propaganda is powerful and we're watching it be created in real time.
With propaganda, context, nuance, and critical analysis are thrown out the window.
This has always been a failure of policing - then, and now.

This is the PPC party platform. The PPC has become a nexus for neo-Nazis, a youth white supremacist group, the COVID-19 conspiracy movement, and people who want to burn down parliament and have a race war. They're getting organized. We need to organize better.

This misses the mark. Canada has exported far right influencers, been over represented in online far right spaces, & the convoy - & preceding related movements - were/are Canadian. The far right is transnational and should be viewed that way.
Why there is no equivalency b/w the far-left / far-right? It's about desired outcomes. The far-right fantasizes about killing people like the PM if they won power. The far-left fantasy is saving the environment, ending racism/misogyny(etc.), basic needs for all. Stuff like that.
Also spotted is an "infidel" patch. While this patch doesn't indicate membership to a specific network, unlike Diagolon, it is well known among Islamophobic militias and biker-style hate groups.

Been thinking about this all day. This is just unimaginable cruelty and a level of viciousness that is inevitably going to result in real harm and traumatized kids.
These kids don’t deserve it. Their parents don’t deserve it.
Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers.
He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.

In Belleville on July 20, one far-right protester was caught on camera yelling "You're a pathetic Jew!" at Trudeau. The far-right movement may focus its protests against the government (and, increasingly, 2SLGBTQ+ persons) but it always harbours antisemitism and other hatreds.

We don't want law enforcement to crack down as hard on the far-right as they do on Black, Indigenous, or houseless groups b/c we don't want a brutal law enforcement regime period. We need to build strong communities to superscede it. More like that Ottawa community roadblock.
Justice Southcott said, "it is plain and obvious that the Statement of Claim discloses no reasonable cause of action and therefore has no reasonable prospect of success, and the Plaintiff has failed to identify any amendment that might be capable of curing this deficiency."

Disgraceful on behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion. The Soldiers of Odin were founded by a neo-Nazi in Finland. In Canada, they are an anti-Muslim hate group. If a chapter of the KKK started in your community, promising to be different, would you OK that?
