SCANDAL PANEL: Why are Poilievre, Smith and Ford acting like Trump? How do we stop MAGA?
As we witness the alarming rise of authoritarianism in the United States, we cannot afford to remain complacent or in denial. With Trump threatening Canada and Greenland and Putin and Netanyahu ramping up their wars in Ukraine and Gaza, the stakes have never been higher. MAGA is in Canada, pushing its dangerous rhetoric and policies. Poilievre's degrading comments about our nation, Smith’s attempts to silence voices through book bans, and Ford’s disturbing power grab over elected school trustees are clear indicators that we are on a slippery slope toward erosion of our democratic principles.We must mobilize. We owe it to ourselves and our children to recognize the signs and to call out the Christofascist rhetoric that threatens our democracy. This is not just about politics; it’s about safeguarding the freedoms we cherish and ensuring a future where prosperity, diversity and inclusion triumph over division and hate.Join the conversation. Share your thoughts, subscribe to this essential dialogue, and help us fight for a democracy that reflects our values. Together, we can push back against the tide of extremism and protect the Canada we believe in. Now is the time to act! 🇨🇦 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
