Moi? I'm not even close to perfect but I am willing to keep kicking at the darkness.

Every Canadian needs to watch this! Don't let our politicians or our churches get away with spreading the same LIES and HATE here. Don't let them radicalize us and turn us against each other.

Grievance politics fuel far right extremism and work to instill a narrative in the target demographic (Christians, especially white ones in this case) that they are under attack and mobilized them. @charlieangus104.bsky.social makes it easy to understand. Very important work.

Don't be suckered in by Poilievre's campaign to launch a campaign over Canadian Christians suffering "persecution." He is running the same playbook as the AfD in Germany, Trump in the States and Farage in the UK. My latest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OesH...

Make sure you mark THURSDAY OCT 9 on your calendar. Brit Griffin and I are doing a talk at PERFECT BOOKS OTTAWA. Brit is my life comrade and she is launching her new book The Haunting of Modesto O'Brien. We are discussing writing, memory and the haunting power of place.

“If you can kidnap people off the street, then you can do anything with them.”

Here is the speech I gave at University of Regina on the disinformation storm that is coming and MAGA's attack on education. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmMl...

At the gates of the Qu'appelle Residential school an eagle appeared and circled overhead. The only other time I saw an eagle was on the blockade to the Adams Mine (25 years ago today). We were all scared and intimidated in the face of mass arrests. When the eagle circled us I never worried again.

There is a storm of race hatred brewing online. Blaming refugees. Blaming hard working immigrants. Don't fall for this kind of shit. I think of the Syrian families who built the north with passion, hard work. If your relative spreads hate shit tell them to knock it off.

Kevin Page is the best of the best when it comes to speaking truth to power and to representing the highest standards of public service. If he says the Parliamentary Budget officer is wrong about the state of our nation's finances -you can take it to the bank. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Soul restoring time. Heading off for a weekend practice with @grievousangels104.bsky.social in preparation for the next phase of Revolution 2025 tour. Oct 18. Cobalt Classic Theatre Nov 30 Rainbow Bistro Ottawa matinee Dec 14 @horseshoetavern.bsky.social Toronto matinee

Hey Charlie. I'm driving the backroads this evening and our SW ON #farmers are busy bringing in #Canada🇨🇦 #soybean crops as the sun starts to set. Let's hope PM #Carney and our gov can harness an ag deal that keeps them afloat.

A mere 9 months into the regime and Washington is giving its shock troops the SS "Totenkopf" death's head symbol. This as they are dragging children out of apartments in the middle of the night. Canada needs to prepare for what comes next.

The days of official “Declarations of War” are over. If folks aren’t even paying attention to what’s happening in our own communities, they’re certainly not going to be aware that we’re already in a low-grade WWIII. Dark times are ahead, and most folks aren’t remotely prepared.

Every day I read the news, the more I feel a connection to people living in liberal democracies in the 1930. Seeing democracy take massive blows, an economy stalled/sinking, war on the horizon everywhere. These are not bright days.

Angus articulates how I see the current world, and view the weak "leaders" we have all over the west, "leaders" who think it still yesteryear when all things have changed, climate wise > need for massive emissions reductions, geopolitical > need for fast ferocious force against the fascists.

American farmers are in economic crisis because key markets have walked away. The US soybean market has collapsed. But Trump is giving a $20bil bailout to a major competitor -the far right wing government of Argentina as Americans face farmaggedon. youtube.com/watch?v=yTgynqg-enU&feature=youtu.be

"It is a war for reality itself." Keep kicking at the darkness.

Well worth your time. It's a sobering read but Charlie knows his history and as usual is spot on.

At what point will we realize that a new global war is underway? We need to understand the extreme danger that we are in so that we don't stumble further into the darkness. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/when-did-t...

Inviting people to a discussion with my life partner and comrade Brit Griffin about writing, place, memory. We are discussing her new book and our 30 year obsession with the dark and untamed history of Cobalt. Perfect Books Ottawa Thursday Oct. 9 blogcritics.org/book-review-...

In Ottawa I always walk along the locks of the Rideau Canal. They are the perfect tourist spot. We forget they were built to protect Canadian shipping from the threat of American invasion. A lot of people died building the canal. It was built to keep us independent. True. North. Strong. Free.

A powerful statement by the Dave Mathews Band on the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall. "Hope is an act of resistance when the world is run by cruelty and greed"

Check out this discussion with @meidastouch.com and @meidascanada.ca about how fed up Canadians are with the gaslighting and provocations of ambassador MAGA Pete. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaZr...

MAGA is actively working on the break up of our country. Funny that we have to read about these backroom meetings in the far right wing press while our media ignores the obvious. www.westernstandard.news/news/alberta...

How did Pete Hoekstra get the job as chief gaslighter and provocateur on the Canada file? www.youtube.com/watch?v=u71c...

More bullshit coverage from Canada's media. No genocide here. No mention of the indictments by the ICC. No mass starvation. This reads like a press release written by the Israeli lobby. Who knows? Maybe it was.

I served 21 years in Parliament but in the last caucus I gave up even trying to offer advice because I could never pass the increasingly rigid purity tests. Thank you @heathermcpherson.bsky.social for reminding us that social democracy needs to be social and democratic. www.msn.com/en-ca/news/c...

I call my Mom everyday. She broke her arm in the middle of the night but was determined to be there for the Grandmothers Against Genocide Vigil. People were counting on her. She was there in the cold with a broken arm and mittens but thrilled that so many people are joining the vigil.

"My generation was never taught Canada’s darker history. It is a history that needs to be understood if we are going to move forward. Unfortunately, in the case of St. Anne’s Residential School, there is a significant amount of unfinished business."

check out this interview I did with @flaminghydra.com about the work I am doing to defend democracy in an age of fascist gangsters. Lessons from an education at Punk Rock University. flaminghydra.com/canadas-char...

I couldn’t have said it better! Thank you Charlie because we all know the Silence is Consent snd you are never silent when it comes to Canada. I Do Not Consent to anything that Donald Trump and his Fascist Bootlickers spew out of their mouths. #ElbowsUpCanadians 🇨🇦

For a project that never came to fruition, I interviewed ordinary people about their pre- & post-Kamloops knowledge of Canada's genocide. One woman who grew up beside the school said, "we ALWAYS knew more children went in than came out." May we never be unhaunted by the past that isn't even past.

If you haven't read it, this is a great piece from @charlieangus104.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/charliea...

I spent 12 years working with the survivors of St. Anne's residential school in their attempt to get justice. The government spent millions fighting people who could barely afford the bus ride to the hearings. There is no reconciliation without justice for St. Anne's. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Brilliant takedown of sleezebag US ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra by the always on point @charlieangus104.bsky.social

🤣🤣🤣 OMG Charlie boy… …on 🎯 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Don’t miss this one guys. Charlie is hot on Hoekstra‼️ 👍

Literally the only qualifications needed for a job with the Trump regime is unquestioning obedience to dear leader, and a willingness to lie shamelessly. That's how fascism operates. Competence is a threat. All important positions get filled with toadies and yes-men. Country-scale enshittification.

I headed down to the massive US Embassy fortress in Ottawa to find out how MAGA Pete Hoekstra got the job as ambassador. The guy's resume is dismal. He's Trump's top agitator, gaslighter in Canada. Check out my latest. @meidascanada.ca @meidastouch.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=u71c...

On Orange Shirt Day my heart was with the survivors of St. Anne's residential school. The government suppressed thousands of pages of evidence and spent millions on lawyers to deny justice to people who suffered the worst crimes imaginable. There is no reconciliation without justice for St. Annes.

MAGA Maple believes they can break up our country. The Crown signed treaties with Indigenous nations 30 years before Alberta and Saskatchewan were even thought of. This is my @meidascanada.ca look at the treaties and our obligations on Orange Shirt Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HEw...

MapleMAGA is 100% un-Canadian and not wanted here. If PP and his ilk don’t like our country, head south…

Hoping to see folks in Ottawa on October 9 for a special talk at Perfect Books (Elgin Street). I will be joining my life partner and comrade Brit Griffin to discuss writing, memory and the haunting power of place. She is launching her new book The Haunting of Modesto O'Brien.

On this day of National Truth and Reconciliation learn about the treaties and obligations and the Indigenous leaders who were key in forming Canada. This is important for everyone, but especially those who think a province can simply be plucked out of Canada. The treaties came first.

"If MAPLE MAGA wants to leave Canada, we will pack their bags." ⬇️

Imagine inviting a stranger into your house followed by the stranger shoving you into the basement. The stranger then throws a party, invites all his friends and steals all your stuff. This is how we treat out first people in Canada.
