The recent provincial election in BC confirmed that being an awful human being is no longer disqualifying in modern politics. For evidence, see: #BrentChapman

@pluralistic lays out a solid tactical plan which, while ostensibly written about countering #Project2025, could be adapted with few alterations into a battle-plan for countering the rise of right-wing politics in Canada:

What do we need to learn from the US to keep the right out in Canada?

I'll start:

1) No point in *just* pointing out how awful the other leader is - they knew that and voted for him anyway!

Question for my American and Canadian leftist friends! #PleaseBoost #Organize #Rightwing #Leftwing #centrism

In Spain, the Valencian regional government, a coalition of the right-wing People’s Party and "ultras” Vox took power in the regional and many municipal governments last year.

Soon after, like the #Project2025 proposal to defund/privatize the NOAA and FEMA, the Valencian government eliminated the UVAE - an emergency response unit to deal with fire and flooding disasters in the region. (mundiario.com/articulo/politic…)

This weekend, after the catastrophic flooding killed over 200 and counting with billions in damage to infrastructure and business and people's lives, there are massive protests in #Valencia demanding the resignation of the government.

What will you do to prevent Trump and MAGA Republicans from endangering you? And Canadians? You can bet this is in Poillievre, Smith, Rustad, Moe, and Ford’s playbook as well.

Will you orgainize and respond before, or after, disaster strikes?

These rightwing neo-liberal and fascist forces, and the centrists who coddle them, don't care about you. They only care about redirecting the public purse from public service to their own personal and commercial interests.

What will you do to prevent that from happening?

Thinking about whistle blowing? Better not involve the Globe and Mail.

What a shit move to out whistleblowers because someone else actually published the story.

Why did a Canadian paper name the Washington Post’s anonymous sources? 

Earlier this month, on Canadian Thanksgiving, a significant story about the country emerged from the neighbor that doesn’t do Thanksgiving until November.

Trump sells himself as a Protector as all Tyrants have done .

Plato “This and no other is the root from which a Tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a Protector “
