There is a photograph of Kristi Noem standing in front of the jail cell holding the men recently violently deported by the US, and it is hauntingly similar to the photographs my family had of prisoners in German camps, the difference being these men were healthy but the shaved heads and the expression on some faces was similar.
I have no words to describe how deeply disturbing it is to watch history repeat.....
Canada, do not let that happen here !
Never Again!
Conservative Party of Canada paying people to canvas voters in Courtenay-Alberni!?
Crazy.
The only paid staff I have ever heard of in other parties are sometimes the Chief of Staff/Campaign Manager and/or the Financial Manager.
I have NEVER heard of canvassers getting paid.

Alberni Valley News has published an article with bios for all 6 (!!) candidates running so far in the Courtenay-Alberni riding. (including the Fediverse-connected @chrismarkevich!)
We have a candidate for the Animal Protection Party of Canada!?
That's new to me!
All other major parties are accounted for.
Oh, and... love our local journalists keeping the community informed!!

I sure hope this means an End to Musk's Dictator in Turkey, like the Musk Swasticar is being rejected everywhere.
"Several hundred thousand demonstrators gathered again in Istanbul on Saturday."
Several.
Hundred.
Thousand!

Don’t worry. The cartels have already stepped in. Raised the price of gas almost 20 cents in the last two weeks, in Vancouver.
We need to remove gas from the equation.

This pullback is likely due, at least in part, to ongoing abnormally dry and drought conditions in much of Quebec, which mean less water flow to power the company’s generators. Hydro-Québec, therefore, faces choices about what to do with the power it can generate, whether that means holding out for higher prices on the New England market or selling it domestically to meet the province’s own growing demand as it too electrifies in pursuit of climate goals.

This... is... actually a really good housing policy? From the Liberals? Good housing ideas from the Liberals? Huh?? #canpoli https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-double-pace-home-building-1.7497947
Will Canada become not just a safe-haven for Americans fleeing #TheAmericanFascist but also a key place for those Americans to speak up against what is happening in the USA and organizing resistance?
A Yale Fascism Scholar has taken a job (-25% pay) at the University of Toronto. (Video at link)
Of course, this all assumes Canada doesn't go any further down the same road as the USA
(our Universities have also been complicit)
This is a must listen for anyone and especially those of us in Canada:
Plato's Republic yes very much so.
Popper,Arendt, Machiavelli (His Discourses in particular)
Yeah, pp's in sync with America, alright. He still doesn't get it, though, when he's become the butt of jokes.
Maybe someone should tell him the official language of the 'Other 50 States' is ... English.
Time to straighten-up & fly right? Nah.. let him go golfing. It'll be better for the rest of us.
In 4 Monday's we will be having #elxn45 in Canada!
If it were held today, according to 338canada.com, the networks would likely call it almost immediately if these projections bear out. Eastern Canada will send 151 Liberals. Only 172 seats are needed for a majority.
I still think the NDP projection is way too low, and I expect 2 Greens, but neither of those will change the overall outcome.
That said, 4 weeks is a long time!

At least me Conservative MPP will tell me he's not going to help me. My Liberal MP just ghosts me.
@gemelliz @chris @ZenHeathen @rozcakj
The #CPC signs are definitely dark and I need better glasses to read the small font for the Conservative Party - its almost like they don't want to be associated with themselves 
What I love about political cartoons is how simply they can convey an issue and
#PP shows his mastery of politics (NOT).
