Job 1 for 2025: Protecting Canada from US Oligarchs

QUOTE: "They’ve long targeted our sovereignty. The next federal election has them salivating."

EXCERPT: "Yet, according to these same polls, Poilievre is offside with the views of Canadians on nearly every issue he champions. These include use of the notwithstanding clause to override the Charter, abandoning the fight against climate change, pursuing budget cuts and tax changes, opposition to pharmacare, defunding the CBC, legalizing assault weapons, abolishing vaccine mandates, blocking the regulation of social media companies, and the bullying of the LGBTQ2S+ community.

Many of those policy issues are the same ones American plutocrats and their dark-money networks have been campaigning against, or mobilizing for, in recent years. This further crystallizes the choice in the next election as one of who can best defend Canadian sovereignty and citizen well-being from this threat.

For the good of the country, that choice cannot be Pierre Poilievre.

These have been a difficult few years in Canada. In addition to all the disinformation and division “shit,” the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are still being felt, climate change continues to wreak havoc, economic inequality continues to persist, and too many Canadians continue to be confronted by hate.

None of these struggles improve by implementing policies that prioritize the interests of American oligarchs over the aspirations of Canadian citizens. Nor does the political drama of the past two weeks distract from this fact.

The year is coming to a close. Let us resolve to return in the new year to fight for the Canada we love."
