thank you Charlie. It seems there is a never ending tide of disinformation swamping the social media platforms. The ravings of Danielle Smith and how unfair Canada is to Alberta are really baseless. If Canada hasn’t invested in Alberta, where did the Trans Mountain Pipeline come from? Big oil didnt pay for it and neither did Alberta.

I was pleased to see the Indigenous communities come out in support of keeping Canada united. We all have to do our part to fight for Canada.

Our focus has to be on strength through unity. We cant waste energy picking at the faults each of us have.

From Heather Cox Richardson's Substack: "...Germany [declared] the German right-wing political party Alternative for Germany (AfD) as an extremist party that goes against Germany’s “free democratic order.” That designation is the result of a three-year investigation. It allows the government more leeway in monitoring the AfD... The German Foreign Office: “This is democracy. The decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law. It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.”

Can we do this in Canada?

Investigate the CPC and its ties to the far right ecosystem?

Or, if that is not feasible, at least investigate that ecosystem using hate laws?
