CPC Leader Pierre Poilievre got kicked out of the House of Commons for a back and forth with the speaker, after calling the PM a “whacko.” CPC MP Rachael Thomas was kicked out earlier for calling the speaker a disgrace #cdnpoli
Anyway, the president of Columbia is toast or the university will come to a standstill, the Pulitzers are probably going to be boycotted, lawsuits are going to cost the NYPD millions and millions of dollars, and the mayor of New York is going to either not run or lose reelection.

It’s a real problem when the leaders of institutions don’t understand the best interests of those institutions.
If Pierre Poilievre doesn’t want to be portrayed as an authoritarian leader, maybe he should stop talking like one, @susandelacourt writes. thestar.com/politics/if-pi… #cdnpoli Find out more at Nationalnewswatch.com
"EV sales in North America were likely up 47% year-over-year in 2023 are are projected to be up 32% in 2024." (Rob Day in Forbes)
I’m sure the convoy folks who just discovered their passion for Charter rights will speak out against this.
"Barter the Charter" Poilievre's next T-shirt.
Don't vote for anyone you wouldn't trust with your dog.
Excellent tell that someone spends too much time online and no time with actual university students.
Reminder: the UCP's drift into authoritarianism is neither new nor normal. The volume & audacity of their misdeeds shouldn't lull Albertans into thinking that it’s politics as usual. Just because these episodes happen in plain sight doesn't excuse them. theconversation.com/democracy-itse…
Be careful, or the people who claim to hate cancel culture will try getting you fired for saying things that hurt their sensitive little feelings.
You know what's pretty fucked up? Pierre Poilievre said "everything he says is bullshit," about the Prime Minister, and then followed it up the next day with the "lying CBC is at it again," and no one wrote a breathless piece on the need for statesmanship.

Imagine claiming to be antiracist while telling Jews to “go back to Europe”.
"Go back to Europe" sings a pro-Hamas mob in Montreal at Jewish Canadians. When a Jewish person says their family is from Iraq, they're told to go there. Iraq has no Jews. They fled mobs there too, in Iraq & across the MidEast. Most sought safe-haven in Israel.
Hey, remember when the Smith government told Alberta Health to stop talking about the benefits of flu vaccination? Yeah, about that:
Alberta's flu death toll hits 15-year high, sparking calls for better immunization outreach Latest from me👇 cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
I am no Liberal die-hard. I don't agree w everything they do. But I dread to think what Canada would be now if the Cons had been in charge for the last 5 years. (Just look at where they are in charge!) Canada is a great country. Our current Federal government has made it better.
I've covered campus activism since the late 90s. Nothing that's happening on campuses now -- sit ins, building takeovers, encampments -- is at all outside the standard vernacular of student protest. What's unusual is administrators calling in riot cops on their own students
Begging some of you to imagine how you'd feel about this exact sequence of events if the president was the other guy.
The entire world should be shocked by the level of violence that a Democratic Mayor, Governor, and President are willing to use to stop students from criticizing America’s support for Israel.
CNN's @miguelmarquez: "I've covered lots of this sort of stuff around the world, and i've never seen this many police moving into one area."
So Pierre yells "wacko" in QP and a few minutes later social media is flooded with graphics of "Trudeau is a wacko" by the CPC. 100% theatre.
This is a must read for all Albertans. Please share.
God protect these students. The amount of force arrayed against their nonviolent protest is obscene.
What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.
Sorry, haters. nationalobserver.com/2024/04/30/new…
We need to understand, urgently, that we either divest from imperialism or we get fascism. The ruling class is eagerly ushering in fascism at home to defend their fascism abroad. And we have to reject all of it, right now.
Arrests underway on 114th as NYPD clears protesters from the area surrounding campus. They’re shoving people into buildings and blocking the doors. NYPD has kicked all legal observers out of the area.

I think the moral content of a protest matters, I think it’s the single most important thing actually, and the elaborate media pseudo debates about tactics, electoral impact etc—where we discuss everything but the moral content—is because the righteousness of the cause is obvious
@socket8333 Attack their views, not their appearance.
Thinking about late 20th c. military dictatorships in Latin America & elsewhere, a common feature was universities being overrun by cops or troops to violently shut down dissent. Anyone justifying this draconian crackdown, no matter the reason, is literally siding w/ fascism.
