Did you know Mark Carney was awarded the 'Order of Canada' in 2014 (under PM Harper’s recommendation) for his leadership in the development of financial policy in #Canada and around the world.

"As governor of the Bank of Canada he was one of the key players in steering the Canadian economy through the 2008 global economic crisis, championing clear communication and predictability."

CPC have launched their election platform - sound familiar?

Look what's happening in the US to academics, students and universities, it's frightening

Poilievre isn't hiding the fact he relishes bringing this to Canada

Fight it, vote!! Your future and your children's future depends on Conservatives getting destroyed

Tell #Trump and #ElonMusk to take their sticky little hands off Canada. 🇨🇦

MobilizeHands Off! Ottawa CANADA Fights Back · Hands Off**Donald Trump and Elon Musk think everything belongs to them.** Canadians, Americans, Ukrainians and others who call the Ottawa-area home are standing up for democracy. Trump. Musk and their enablers are threatening to take over Canada, Greenland and Panama — and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now. 🚨 **On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!** 🚨 📍 Where: US Embassy, Ottawa 📅 When: Noon-1:30 April 5, 2025 If you choose to register, please use "34567" as your zip code. (This platform is only supporting US zip codes so far.) This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of democracy and longstanding alliance and friendships for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. We are rallying and protesting along with many across the US and Europe to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the global rise of fascism. A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Check out handsoff2025.com for more information.

@datum The first thing Prime Minister Carney needs to do (once he’s beaten Poilievre’s ass like a gong in the upcoming federal election) is break up Postmedia. Offer interest-free loans to employees to purchase the individual newspapers, and ban any foreign ownership. The key to a functioning democracy is a truly independent press, and we don’t have that in Canada right now, thanks to the treasonous actions of IDU head honcho Stephen Harper. #cdnpoli

"Democracy is not something you believe in or a place to hang your hat, but it's something you do. You participate. If you stop doing it, democracy crumbles."
Abbie Hoffman

So make sure to help people get out to the polls.
Arrange rides for the disabled and seniors, people without vehicles, search them out. They need to have their vote counted too.

It will never be "the same." You don't forget the big bully saying he'll take everything away from you. Never. You get smart. You get a plan. And you teach him a lesson he'll not soon forget.

When the big bully acts like he's your friend again maybe you pretend as well if it's to you're advantage. But you NEVER trust him again. That's lost forever.
