Please RP everyone! Public Discussion dates with our Canadian Hero Charlie Angus. 👏👏👏👏👏

Political spin, bad science, and lies haven't changed reality. The large & robust body of evidence still shows vaccines save (millions) of lives. We can't let the darkness win.💪

Visiting the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg. A reminder of struggle and resistance against injustice. Important lessons for this moment.

Trump Administration Cancels Scores of Grants to Study Online Misinformation www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/b... The goal: silence researchers & hide the truth. Reality: This research is NOT about censorship. @infoecon.bsky.social: Will "lead to a vastly more polluted information environment.”

youtube.com/watch?v=Cbvy... No thanks! I can appreciate why these governors want Canadians to visit their states, but why would we under the current Trump regime?

Under RFK Jr., ‘MAHA’ means junk science like ‘survival of the fittest.’ www.theverge.com/health/66136... "Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated." Yep. Dark Age 2.0

Trump uses mockery and abuse as a means of controlling his base and shaping policy. His ridiculous posturing as God's voice on earth isn't a joke. It is the perfect symbol of of post-democratic America. And he knows that he can get away with it. My latest: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Today is the national day of awareness for missing & murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two spirit people. It’s a solemn reminder of the ongoing violence faced by Indigenous communities in Canada, calling us take urgent action to address the systemic injustices that enable this crisis to persist.

You just can’t make this Sh*# up!

Meanwhile, in Canada…

We must resist as Trump takes aim at science www.bmj.com/content/389/... via @bmj.com "...administration has aimed its wrecking ball at medical and scientific journals." "This is an abuse of power and must be condemned."

That’s a hard no! Elbows up Canada and vote today! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

On my last night as MP, I thank Jack Layton for inspiring me to run for public office. Jack made me believe it was possible to do politics with integrity. He loved our country and he loved people. He said politics was about getting your hands dirty and taking chances to make life better for people

Excellent read.

Grateful for this fierce and independent information source. Thank you @meidastouch.com #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦🇨🇦

The Debates Commission invited extremist trolls to the federal debate. Their attempt to show balance. Epic fail. More and more Canadians are getting their information on resistance from @meidastouch.bsky.social Across borders, the resistance is growing. charlieangus.substack.com/p/resistance...

Thanks to @meidastouch.bsky.social for sharing stories of the resistance on both sides of the border. #elbowsup

In Alberta I had the opportunity to meet with @brandimorin.bsky.social She is a fierce warrior and truth teller. She has been in the Amazon exposing the environmental devastation of mining companies. Please support her project to document the resistance. chuffed.org/project/1267...

I have never missed voting in an election since turning 18. Until yesterday I’ve never had to stand in line to vote. 2.5 hours, but democracy is worth every minute - great to see so many Canadians showing up for the advanced polls. This may be the most important election of our lifetimes. #ElbowsUp.

As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores. This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament. We fought fascism from day 1. Don't fuck with us.

RFK Jr. calls rising autism rate an ‘epidemic.’ Nope. www.statnews.com/2025/04/15/r... via @statnews.com Reality: “…3.2% of kids surveyed in 2022 have autism spectrum disorder, a slight uptick from 2.8%” “RFK Jr. is turning back the clock on autism rhetoric & [dragging] us backwards by decades.”

History & context matters. Why history instruction is critical for combating online misinformation theconversation.com/why-history-... "Since context is key to critical thinking, learning to analyze information about current events likely requires knowledge about politics and history..."

No one is comparing Trump to former presidents like Reagan, Nixon or Jackson. Trump is being called a modern Nero. I am more partial to Commodus This is life in an age when the American political system jettisons the rule of law. Here is my latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/american-c...

Incredible how he just makes up doubtmongering sh*t. Health secretary RFK Jr. declares certain vaccines have ‘never worked,’ flummoxing scientists www.statnews.com/2025/04/10/r... via @statnews.com Sum from experts: "He’s wrong." He is wrong about everything, so just add this to list...

Measles misinformation becoming 'concerning' trend www.collingwoodtoday.ca/local-news/g... FACT: There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that the MMR vaccine causes autism. FACT: Nearly 1 to 3 of every 1,000 children who become infected with measles will die.
