New book, Student Power: Canadian Student Movements From the Sixties to Today (https://link.springer.com/book/9783032109620) Professor of social movements and left politics. Proudly socialist, anti-fascist, anti-Zionist. All opinions my own.
More worried about these conversations than separatism. For the record: immigrants are humans who deserve human rights (like everyone).
Richie AssalyThe upcoming Alberta referendum will include questions about immigration that critics say are misleading and clearly designed to scapegoat newcomers and refugees. If they pass, this will mark a massive victory for separatists. My latest for @forwardcanada.bsky.social
My guess is that world leaders worry no one will say anything nice about them when they are the ones who die (deservedly so) so they bend over backwards to fawn over these evil fuckwits.
Clare BlackwoodCarney calling Lindsey Graham a defender of democracy and freedom when the man made jokes on his official X account about taking over Canada is just the last straw of many last straws for me.
Happy to see more people coming around to the right position but, sorry Justin, the foundational precepts of Zionism are colonial and imperialist. Getting rid of Netanyahu, while a good idea, doesn’t change that fact.

Separation might even be the least horrible one. Like, we’re gonna spend the next few months debating whether immigrants (ie human beings) deserve healthcare?? Hate this province so much.
Robson FletcherHad a chance to speak with Andrew Nichols on CBC News Network about this yesterday. After the interview I heard from people — in Alberta & other parts of the country — who said they didn't realize: a) There are going to be TEN questions in the referendum b) Each question gets a separate ballot.
