  • They’re actually trying to make it even harder for migrants and refugees with the introduction of Bill C-2, while pandering to the US.

    Anandasangaree said Tuesday that Bill C-2 was drafted to contain “elements that will strengthen the relationship” between Canada and the U.S.

    “There are a number of items in the bill that have been irritants for the U.S. so we are addressing some of those issues,” he said. “But it’s not exclusively about the United States.” CBC

    It’s a bill to not only make seeking refugee status more difficult, but also remove privacy protections for all canadians.

    During a technical briefing for reporters, a senior government official said that the changes were meant to improve police and intelligence agencies’ ability to apply for warrants to collect digital evidence following a series of court rulings that significantly hampered it. Article content

    It would also increase the Canada Border Services Agency’s (CBSA) ability to search containers exiting the country by obligating transporters and warehouse operators to provide site access to border agents for export inspections. National post (I know…)

    There’s lots of migrants rights groups speaking out against the bill: e.g. Migrants Rights Network





    • we’re all working too much to have the free time for it
    • there are (effectively) no third places where you can hang out with the expectation to meet people without the expectation of spending money
    • to get anywhere you generally need a car, highways and roads divide and spread everything which makes walking or biking difficult
    • social media is run for profit, not for the sake of actually connecting people
    • these above issues feed into the issue OP is pointing out. If you are lonely and your life isn’t going too well, then you’re gonna seek answers for this complicated issue. And fascists are all too willing to take advantage and provide simple answers. It then turns into a self feeding cycle.

    In other words:

    • Capitalism
    • Capitalism
    • Capitalism
    • Surprise, it’s also capitalism
    • Don’t worry, capitalism has just the solution for you!













  • Where the fuck did I say Palestine would destroy Israel?

    I am 100% pro-Palestine, I just genuinely do not understand how voting someone in who has exponentially sped up the genocide and sped up the suffering of brown, queer people and women, in his own country is somehow the more moral choice in all of this. It doesn’t make any fucking sense to me.



  • I know I’ll get downvoted for this, and to be clear, all of our governments supporting this genocide are absolute bullshit and capitalism is bullshit.

    However, at least you had one choice that wasn’t actively also trying to destroy your own country and take away the rights of people in your own country to such an extent that they now can’t even worry about what’s happening elsewhere because they’re too worried trying to find healthcare and not get deported, killed, or permanently detained.

    If you were going to not vote in order to take down the system, then show up and take down the god damn fucking system.
