This 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 will be Carney’s legacy and his narrow minded minions will call this a feat of Canadian brilliance. Excellent 🧵 with receipts.
Surely remaking Canada into an arms dealing, rights-abusing, doesn't-prioritize-peace bully nation who follows MAGAmerica's care-for-the-military-industrial-complex-but-not-its-own-citizens aligned-with-multiple-genocides example will make discarding our soft power a brilliant 3D chess move? 26/

The bike lane decision is extraordinary. The Ontario Court of Appeal flat out saying: more lanes make cars go fast and “induced demand” is just a theory.

Aggressively hostile to 80 years of theory and empirical evidence.

It takes a lot of cahones to be the largest emitter of CO2 on the planet, deny the existence of the climate change that results, and then complain when your neighbour's forests catch fire.

Siberian town of Verkhoyansk, Russia, recorded a blistering temperature of 38°C.

It lies inside the Arctic Circle.

100 million years ago the Earth was so warm cold blooded dinosaurs lived on the South Pole in the middle of winter.

While Mammals barely survived.

Neoliberalism’s defining feature was always the insulation of capital from democratic control. Trumpism’s break with free trade has changed the rhetoric. But the underlying economic order remains intact.

Do we understand that Israel's actions here are ILLEGAL? It doesn't matter if the US and Canada did this/continue to do this...making a place uninhabitable for the people already there is wrong - morally and under international law.
