(he/him) I’ve had some crappy opinions in my time. Some may still be on Twitter. Always trying to listen and learn and be better.

@bcohenn @TorontoStar if our video is a bit too sensationalized for your liking, you can find the original here action4canada.com/empower-ho… starting around the 53:50 mark. Councillor Robinson refers to the “Muslims go home” tweet as “one of my tweets”, and then tries to justify it.

Hi, @bcohenn, @TorontoStar wrt today’s article about Pickering Councillor Lisa Robinson, you mention that she has denied making the Islamophobic tweets that cost her the BEY Conservative candidacy. She has since admitted to those tweets. See video here: goodgovernmentforpickering.c…

I was reminded that yesterday was the 4th anniversary of the now-dubbed "Battle of Billings Bridge" when over a thousand of us in Ottawa blockaded convoyers from coming into our city. With the growing far-right, it's a good reminder of how we can still fight back - and win.

There has only been 1 trans shooter in all of Canadian history yet the entire group is being blamed for the shooting. Every other mass shooting in Canada has been a cis man

The shooting in Tumbler Ridge is tragic and my thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. But now my thoughts also have to be with my transgender friends who are worried for their safety while riding home on the bus.

Alberta Prosperity Project CEO Mitch Sylvestre discusses “old stock white Canadians” being “replaced” at the Stay Free Alberta event in Calgary. This is a white supremacy project as much at it is about “unfairness” or any of the other BS they spew.

BREAKING: Around 3,000 protesters just marched in Boise, Idaho at an anti-ICE rally calling for another general strike after Alex Pretti was killed in Minneapolis. “They’re chanting: It is our power, it is our right! Strike, strike, strike!” This is a national backlash forming in real time.

HAPPENING RIGHT NOW: New Yorkers have taken to the streets following the murder of Alex Pretti this morning in Minnesota. Now is the time to defend our communities, shut down ICE, and shut it all down with a nationwide general strike.

Selfishness.

So far, 3 countries (Japan, Mexico, Taiwan) have banned Canadian poultry imports because the CFIA has not culled these ostriches. At first it was just BC, but now their markets are closed to all provinces. inspection.canada.ca/en/anim…

Goldie Ghamari says she's planning to attend the "mass deportations" and "remigration" rally in Toronto tomorrow. Let's go through similar rallies/demonstrations in Canada that have argued the same things as their rally. 🧵

White grievance culture is so pathetic. I’ve been white my whole life and was never asked to apologize or told to be ashamed of it. Demographic shifts aren’t a threat to me or my family, I have certainly had advantages and benefitted from it though, YALL are just soft lil babies

First we lost Roe, and now women across the US are suffering under draconian and cruel abortion bans. Next they’re coming for same sex marriage. Kim Davis, a former Kentucky county clear, seeks to have the Supreme Court overturn Obergefell v Hodges. 🧵
