@jd @cbcnews You’d think media would focus on things like #PP having no security clearance, #PP vetting reporters questions at rallies, #PP aligning himself with #trumpian policies, #PMMC negotiating with European leaders on trade issues, #PMMC promoting #CanadaStrong & #ElbowsUp in relation to US annexation threats, I could name 100 more. The fact you waste time on a “Who would win if the election were today” epitomizes the sad state of our #FourthEstate. youtu.be/al9yWA4TUII?si=P8MADp

Danielle is mired in her propaganda and MAGA zeolotry. Alberta is suffering as a result. Who could have predicted this when the UCP was given a majority? * Many progressive hands go up in Alberta * Those who voted for this were warned. Can Albertans pull themselves out of the fire they set? The Alberta provincial election is still a couple years away.

Seems #PP will MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN, protect our border, strengthen our military, cut wasteful govt spending, bring home powerful paycheques for Cdns, send fentanyl traffickers to jail for life, rebuild our destroyed relationship with our allies, solve indigenous financing problems, and make us a powerful nation again. Within 30 days. Where have we heard that before? Take heed Canadians. USA is now a terrorist state. Seems #MapleMAGA adopted the #trumpian playbook. #NeverConservative.

Is #Trump planning to declare #MartialLaw on April 20? The frightening claim, explored

Story by Charlotte Simmons, March 14, 2025

"First, the essentials. Martial law is the term for when civilian government and legal processes (such as mayoral jurisdiction and police officers, respectively) are overtaken by state military, so as to make demands on behalf of the nation’s leader, and then enforce those demands with their wealth of resources. Typically, martial law is invoked in dangerous situations, such as natural disasters or major #CivilUnrest.

"This is different from the United States’ #InsurrectionAct, wherein those civilian enterprises are not replaced by military personnel and resources, but supplemented by them. More importantly, the official nature of the Insurrection Act allows the #POTUS to deploy the military domestically during emergencies, as the #PosseComitatus Act of 1878 prohibits the use of the military against American civilians. In short, the Insurrection Act can waive the rules of the Posse Comitatus Act to create a sort of #MiniMartialLaw. Remember this.

"Recently, fears have been rising over whether or not the United States could enter martial law on April 20 under Donald Trump. But why then? What is it about April 20 that holds significance? When Trump first took office back on January 20, he signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency at the United States’ southern border, requiring the secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security to submit a report about what the 'situation' is at said border, together with recommended actions for 'resolving' said 'situation.' This report needed to be submitted within 90 days.

"When this order was signed, Trump also declared that 'A #NationalEmergency exists at the southern border of the United States…I hereby declare that this national emergency requires use of the Armed Forces…' This, directly references the potential execution of the Insurrection Act.

"The Secretary of Defense? #PeteHegseth. The Secretary of #HomelandSecurity? #KristiNoem. Two of Donald Trump’s most prominent yes-men. And guess how many days January 20 and April 20 are apart? Ninety.

"So, essentially, on April 20, there’s a not-insignificant chance that those two aforementioned Trump yes-men are going to tell Trump whether or not he should deploy the military in the southern United States so as to crack down on immigration. Except, as we saw with the case of #MahmoudKhalil — a recent #ColumbiaUniversity graduate who played a major role in that student body’s recent #ProPalestinain campus occupations — it doesn’t matter if you have a green card or if you haven’t committed any crimes; under this presidency, #ICE will illegally detain you if they think you’re troublesome to the vision of #TrumpsAmerica. They’re trying to deport Khalil for speaking out against #genocide as we speak. This is a direct, wholly #unconstitutional attack on #FreeSpeech.

"And here’s why that distinction between the Insurrection Act and martial law was so important earlier. On April 20, Trump will constitutionally — through the Insurrection Act — be allowed to deploy the military against #AmericanCivilians, and his government has already demonstrated that legal American civilians who have not committed any crimes are at risk for detention and deportation. It’s not technically martial law, but this #Trumpian cocktail is just as bad, if not worse.

"#Khalil’s detention — again, occurring in response to his speaking out against the #genocide of #Palestinian people — was made on the grounds of Trump’s executive order prohibiting #AntiSemitism. How long before more executive orders (none of them made in good faith, let’s be clear on that) just so happen to limit more ways of speaking, acting, and thinking? A scary thought, and a horrifyingly pertinent one."

Good to see cooler heads prevail. This is the correct response to #Trumpian bullying. There’s a global market out there, not just America. Slapping our own tariffs on US goods and services would only hurt the Australian consumers and the economy.

There are no winners in #TradeWars. Remember the ’pig iron’ export ban to Japan which (among other fiascos) led to war. The 1938 Dalfram Dispute.

In this new #Trumpian era, a Republican-led #Congress is no longer a coequal branch of government. Instead, it has been refashioned as an enabler of Trump’s whims, resentments and obsessions. Trump’s objective is less to pass legislation — he seems to be relying primarily on #executiveorders, so far — and more to troll #Democrats and assert his dominance over a feeble opposition party that doesn’t quite know how to play its role. This is what an “elected #monarchy” looks like. wapo.st/3QJqjKu

Thorold, Ontario is targeted by fossil fuel propaganda backed by Conservative operatives and Polievre. Hopefully, Thorold is smart enough to recognize they are being played by the moral abyss that is the Trumpian Conservative Party of Canada.

#ItsGoingDown - This Week in #Fascism #139: Communities Hit Back Against #NeoNazis As #Trump Comes to Power; Thousands Protest Against #ICE & in Solidarity with #TransPeople

February 13, 2025

"The second Trump administration has officially begun and less than a month in, we are already in a #ConstitutionalCrisis. As the #Trumpian state embraces the threat of ignoring court orders, it also risks pushing the US into an all out #TechnoDictatorship. But as the line between the State and the far-Right becomes increasingly blurred – the question must be asked, what does the antifascist struggle mean when an oligarch like Trump is in power? We don’t have any easy answers, but antifascists have a lot of skills that we can bring to the table: both in terms of analysis, understanding the players in the unfolding terrain, and skills that we can share with people.

"More importantly, we have movement memory of battles fought and lessons learned: from the working-class kids who formed the backbone of #AntiRacistAction (#ARA) and took on the #KKK and neo-Nazi skinheads, to the fight against the #AltRight during Trump’s first term, which saw tens of thousands of people hitting the streets against #WhiteSupremacists. These past struggles can inspire and inform what is happening today.

"And there’s a lot to do. With the pardoning of the January 6th rioters, Trump has signaled that far-Right loyalists will receive a pass from the State to engage in violence against enemies of the regime. This is a reality that only amplifies what we saw during the first Trump administration, when Chad Wolf’s DHS pushed for #antifascists to be targeted by law enforcement and for the state to downplay the threat from the far-Right. This move lead to federal forces descending on Portland, OR during the #GeorgeFloydUprising, and the outright assassination of #MichealReinoehl. The more we can build public opposition to this new reality and encourage widespread #resistance to Trump’s policies, the safer we all will be."
