Jagmeet is a discord mod now 🤣

BOYCOTT TIKTOK

I just felt like typing. My world is somewhat upside down and I am having trouble coping. But the world I See around me is falling apart. Political treachery and control have got me reading 1984 again. Seeing what is going on around me, such as government control of the news media and even social media is completely out of hand. TikTok is a Chinese company censoring Canadians and Americans. Telling their subscribers that they can’t use words like death, murder, or suicide. Instead, subscribers are told to use unalived. Unalived isn’t even a word. Furthermore, I can no longer refer to Justin Trudeau as a dumbass. Nor Jagmeet Singh or Chrysta Freeland. The three biggest dumbasses in the history of Canadian politics. They make Marjorie Taylor Green look intelligent. But as the Newspeak generation comes around, they willingly accept these restrictions. Not only are the Chinese interfering in our elections, but now our thinking.

                When Elon Musk bought Twitter, he fired 80% of the staff. Twitter, now X is still running smoothly. Most of the people fired were involved in censorship. He stated that it was interesting that he saved all that money by getting rid of unnecessary staff.

                And of course, there is Facebook and their team of infantile fact checkers. They watch us like a bunch of hawks and allow a record number of financial scam advertisements on Their site. I guess the saying that money talks and bullshit walks is more truthful than we ever imagined. While Mark Zuckerberg is raking in the money, his subscribers are getting screwed over. No one vetted the advertisers. Enjoy spending your scam earned money Mark.

                And so, we are all marching into the world of Big Brother. We will act and speak for the good of the party. Everything we once had faith in, be it religion, our faith in the democratic system and freedom of speech are gone. Good luck Humanity.

This man could become Canada's next Prime Minister. I don't know about you, but I'd vote for him over Trudeau any day.

MPs from all parties have joined New Democrats in calling on the federal government to drop its legal battles against a pair of rulings involving First Nations children.

In a motion put forward by NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, parliamentarians from all five parties teamed up Monday to demand that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's minority government abandon the judicial reviews to be heard in Federal Court next week.

The motion, which expresses the view of the House of Commons but is legally non-binding, passed 271-0, with Liberal cabinet members and some of their backbencher colleagues abstaining from the vote.

The motion also asks the government for faster implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's calls to action, trauma resources for survivors, a progress report to be tabled in 10 days and a sit-down with a group representing survivors from St. Anne's, a former residential school in Fort Albany, Ont., over their search for justice.

AOC pogged again! Did I say that right? Lol.

She teamed up with canadian politician Jagmeet Singh, Natalie of contrapoints, Hasanabi, myth, toast, corpse and others for a 5 hour livestream of among us. They raised over 200k for various orgs, including immigrant families.

The year is 2022. A 90% effective vaccine was cleared as safe by all major organizations. It was distributed across the entire world. Not just to the countries that can afford it. International organizations stepped in to make sure the developing world got it too. To make sure they got it as early as everyone else did, not just taking the leftovers. To make sure it was available for free throughout the world, so it was accessible even to low-income people in every country. There was a coordinated global effort among NGOs and similar organizations to make this happen.

Some people still choose to wear masks just because it’s a good way to prevent all diseases; this is not politicized or stigmatized. But it is also not required. People can choose not to wear masks, they can gather in large groups, they can make physical contact, and none of this is any more dangerous than it was before 2020. Herd immunity to COVID-19 has been achieved all over the world.

In Canada, it’s been over a year since Justin Trudeau stepped down as leader of the Liberal Party and was replaced by Chrystia Freeland. The 2021 federal election left the Liberals with a minority government. They entered into a formal coalition with the NDP, so Chrystia Freeland and Jagmeet Singh run the country together. This coalition leaves them one short of a majority – the one vote the puts them over the top every time is the independent vote of Jody Wilson-Raybould.

In the US, Joe Biden has stepped aside on the grounds of being too fucking old to run a country. We have now seen that Kamala Harris really did mean the things she’s said about having learned from the new ideas being put forward. She isn’t governing like the anti-drug prosecutor she used to be; she’s governing like the progressive she keeps promising us she is. She is currently working in a genuinely close partnership with Black Lives Matter to transfer funds and other resources from the police to other institutions that can take over many jobs that are currently done by police. This is part of a transition to a system in which the cops handle only situations that absolutely require an armed response, which is a fraction of the situations they handle now. Other countries are following this in their own transitions to this model of policing.

In the UK, Prime Minister Sandi Toksvig and Deputy Prime Minister Hugh Dennis have figured out that as harmful as Brexit was for the nation, trying to re-join the EU would just re-open that whole issue and make it all worse. However, the UK is struggling economically and in terms of its supply chain. Taking the suggestion of their trusted advisor Nish Kumar, they strike a deal with Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, and Canada. The eight countries - England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, regular Ireland, Canada, Iceland, and Greenland (I’m not clear on which of those other British places like the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Mann are their own countries, but whatever they are they can come too) - form an EU-like deal that allows for free trade and free travel among all those places.

The Harry Potter BBC series has just been renewed for a second season. It is nuanced and true to the source material, while also taking liberties that allow it to really bring the story to life. Lauren Lopez has been nominated for a BAFTA for her performance in that series as Draco Malfoy. Due to a legal technicality, JK Rowling sees no royalties or other profit from this series. The lawyer who found this technicality happens to be a trans woman.

The new panel show hosted by Sarah Millican, in which two teams compete to see who knows the most about cats (called 10 Out of 10 Cats), has also been renewed for a second season. Team captains Rose Matafeo and Joe Lycett are doing a great job.

Lee Mack and Noel Fielding are co-hosting… any show. It doesn’t matter what the format or subject of the show is. They’re hosting something together.

The meerkats in the zoos have collectively finished digging their holes, and can finally rest.

but then again i really wish jagmeet singh’s wins in the next fed election purely because he /is/ on the right team anyway and he is basically the last thing kkkanadian white people want as a leader haha(:

they’re still mad he called a bloc quebecois leader racist which is redundant ANYWAY

Jagmeet Singh won’t be touring the country during this fall’s election campaign the way leaders of major national parties normally do.

Rather than chartering a plane for the entire campaign – as the Liberals and Conservatives will, and as the New Democrats have done in the past – Mr. Singh’s NDP will rent one hourly, here and there. Instead of jetting to different corners of Canada each day, he will spend extended periods busing around battleground areas, including the better part of a week in Ontario to begin the campaign.

Members of Mr. Singh’s campaign team will occasionally spin that approach as a sustainable one, with fewer carbon emissions.

But it is less environmental choice than financial necessity – one reflection, among many, of the unusually rough shape in which the NDP enters this race and how it’s trying to adapt.

That adaptation, for all the grimness the NDP has endured since being on the brink of winning government in 2015, may be going a little better than outsiders would think amid poll numbers stuck in the low-to-mid teens.

Recent conversations with more than a dozen high-level New Democrats, including current and former campaign operatives and caucus members, highlighted causes for optimism that after a poor start to his leadership, Mr. Singh has been doing what he can to put his party in position to compete.

But another take-away from those conversations is that Mr. Singh’s improvement may have started too late. New Democrats are now left to hope that an untested leader running an unorthodox campaign is able to exceed low public expectations − if not to see the party emerge with more than its current 40 seats, then to ward off electoral disaster that could leave it unable to run party operations even at their current level.

Toronto, the ball’s in your court

I recently opened a Facebook page only to see on the wall of a “friend” that somebody had written that new immigrants to Canada should have to till the soil like Canadian settlers. This exercise in denigration is so frequent that I have stopped informing my “friends” when they have insulting comments on their Facebook wall. It’s tiring and depressing. 

Immigrants face an increasing battle in Canada. Some politicians use them as scapegoats even though they are doing the most difficult and repugnant jobs in the country. In Quebec, the government’s aim is to decrease the number of immigrants because there appear to be too many of them. Perhaps, we should not accuse Premier Francois Legault cabinet of xenophobia. So we won’t. 

But since when are immigrants chosen mainly according to their professional pedigree ?  Canada (and Quebec in particular) is not some sort of huge job fair. People come here because they are fleeing terror, misery, genocide and discrimination. They come because they prefer freezing to being tortured. Furthermore, people who come have been told that Canadians are welcoming and willing to give everyone a chance.  

The Toronto Raptors will  soon be playing in the finals for the first time since their creation in 1995. They have a superfan, Nav Bhatia. He never missed a Raptors game since the team started out twenty-four years ago. He wears a turban because his a member of the Sikh community, just like  federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. 

Nav Bhatia is an engineer. He wound up as car salesman  in a rough Toronto neighbourhood because he couldn’t find a job in his profession.  After considerable efforts, he prospered. Today, he spends $300 000 per year sending kids from immigrant families to Raptors games. He wants to show them that they belong in Canada. 

In Toronto, we are far away from Quebec’s Bill 21. This legislation proposes barring religious symbols on the workplaces of public servants such as teachers. Nav Bhatia is a better teacher than many others who wear no turban.  He teaches tolerance, compassion and a sense of belonging. In my eyes, he is the best teacher in Canada. 

The Toronto Raptors may very well lose to Oakland’s Golden State Warriors in the finals. It won’t be a big deal; Raptors have already won because the players are a reflection of what Canada and Toronto are about- multiculturalism. The team has three francophones, two Africans, many African-Americans and two Spanish speaking players. How many  players of diverse origins are there on Canadian hockey teams ? Yet, hockey players have been around longer as monsieur Don Cherry would no doubt agree. 

Multiculturalism is a bad word, even an insult in some circles because of a lack of understanding and compassion. The man with a turban or the woman wearing a veil, seeking to belong to this country deserve our respect. I, for one, would be glad to have them teach my child in school or take my kid to a Raptors game, religious symbol on them or not. 

The Raptors have already won because no Bill proposed by Premier François Legault or Doug Ford for that matter could generate a feeling of belonging in all Canadians. Nor could any call for a ban on turbans or veils, or immigration rules based on diplomas unify a roomful of Canadians. Such laws only sow division and isolationism. 

Raptors have won because Toronto has won. 

Toronto, I love you. 

Didier Leclair, writer

Half the job is showing up, I’m sure you’ve heard it said. So when it comes to political leadership, what are we to make of it when this most basic of requirements is shrugged off? Where were Canada’s leaders when we declared a national climate emergency?

An emergency in any other context would signal, at minimum, a need for the following: 1) an alarm, or repeated alarms to give notice to the public; 2) an immediate mandate to respective agencies to initiate plans and procedures for an urgent response; and 3) deployment and action of expert teams.

And yet nothing in present-day Canada even hints at the fact that we are in the midst of an emergency. Instead, on June 17, 2019—the day the House of Commons passed a motion declaring a national climate emergency—Justin Trudeau, Jagmeet Singh, and Andrew Scheer were all at the Raptors parade in Toronto, cheering and smiling for the cameras rather than tackling the less glitzy job of public policy.

More egregious, though, is that the party leaders of the Liberals, NDP, and Conservatives did not even vote.

Two First Nations leaders from Manitoba endorsed a Liberal candidate running in the province's north while standing next to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh at a campaign event.

Singh and two NDP candidates seeking re-election met with Manitoba First Nations leaders in Winnipeg last week to discuss some of the pressing issues facing Indigenous communities like housing and mental health.

While the chiefs said they were thankful Singh and his team organized this tête-à-tête during a busy election campaign — they said they would be backing Liberal candidate Shirley Robinson over NDP incumbent Niki Ashton in the Churchill–Keewatinook Aski race because they want more Indigenous voices in Canada's Parliament.

Is there anything else you'd like to add?

A couple of weeks back the NDP sent out a post-election survey asking for feedback on the campaign. After ticking all the dial boxes there was a comment box asking if there was anything else I wanted to add.

Possibly they were not looking for an earful, but they got one.

Oh, boy. Where to begin.

I handed Jagmeet a letter that stated in detail what I thought of the devolvement to shit talking I've seen in the NDP this campaign. It was juvenile, useless, and alienating. It's been months of it, even prior to the writ drop, enough so that it almost cost the NDP a life-long NDP supporter's vote. It definitely did cost you the votes of others. I don't give a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut what the other parties do in this regard. I care what the NDP do. We've always been held to a somewhat higher moral account, and members running for office no longer typified any of that this past campaign - and that includes the leader.

We also didn't need to be told at every turn that Mr. Singh was not like Mr. Trudeau. For fucks sake. We aren't so slow we can't tell the difference. We know Mr. Singh is not like Mr. Trudeau. In fact, that's the very fucking reason we vote NDP, because they aren't Liberals, nor Conservatives. We want the difference. But we don't need to be told about it like we're slow and just fell off the turnip truck. That alienated a lot of people as well, even people that were planning to vote NDP initially.

I and others were also put off by the Team Jagmeet merch. I realise that to some modern politics is a game played around a cult of personality, but that shit was tacky. You want to sell merch? Sell party merch, not person merch. You want to have a cult of personality? Then keep making TikTok vids and leave it at that. You can flagellate your ego plenty with TikToking. Gimmicks aren't going to work on youth as much as you think they will either. Those kids have issues they're concerned with - climate change, employment, etc., and that didn't get addressed nearly as much as it needed to be.

I also don't, as a GenXer, want to feel like I'm being cast off by the party I support because I'm getting close to my sell-by date and not considered worth the time. I did get that feeling this time around. Nothing specific I can put my finger to, but it was in the air.

You need to get back to actual grass roots and decency - decent behaviour, well-mannered communication, more wholesomeness that actually feels sincere. There was a lot of big talk but very little in the way of actual specifics about NDP plans. The English debate, for example. I was actually impressed with the specifics laid out by Mr. Blanchet regarding his plans. Not the content of them so much, but the fact that he had them. Rather than just saying he wanted to make changes and leaving it at that, he laid out some specifics on what he would do to bring those changes to bear. People were begging for the NDP to do similar and got disappointed, frustrated, and alienated again by it not happening.

Consider also some of the actions of Peter Julian, NDP member for New Westminster-Burnaby. What was he doing during the worst heat of the year? Out handing out bottled water to the homeless, harvesting his gardens and donating to food banks. If you want the NDP to be taken seriously as a party that will fight for people, actual everyday people, those are the sorts of things you need to be doing, that all members need to be doing - the actual labour of doing things for people, direct action, not just speaking in the house or making financial donations.

Addendum post-send: And if you can't do the action, at least facilitating the action taking place.

If you're going to preach moral fibre, live it also.
