    I had to delete my Canadian friends of my social media because they were both rabid pro facist Trump supporters. The last one was celebrating the annexation of Venezuela. It was weird AF

      Yeah, people get fedfacebooks and YouTube algorithms. I have two people, BC and Ontario, that I had to stop taking to.

      One believes all the right conspiracy stuff and believes the biggest issue is rainbows on sidewalks, etc. The other has two daughters and proclaimed feminist, transrights person, but wanted to move to Texas, where they had just removed women’s rights. The can’t see the contradiction for the “I have freedom and prosperity in the USA”

    So apparently he thinks murder is appropriate for different political ideologies?

    Interesting. That might be a poor career decision.

      He’s a piece of shit.

      But also to signal that he’s on a specific side. People would call these dog whistles but I think it’s bit to overt for that.

        I saw that a little while ago and have started dumping leftist memes there as well. Every one hovers at 60-70% downvoted. I can only hope one or two magats see it and have pause for thought for 5 seconds.

    Consider any Postmedia source to be a fascist mouthpiece and it’s reporters as fascists.

    Same with Rebel Media.

      I don’t see where Liberal Party members enable the foreign ownership of our media by direct action.

      Mr Harper - he who first sold our resource rights to a foreign nation with a chequered relationship - I think wasn’t with the Liberals.

      Needs to be a blanket ban on all US social media here. I’d totally be all for it.

      Even better, create a new social media system where you need to be registered with your real name through ID so you’re personally accountable for anything you post.
