Here is the article I teased earlier today. Extra time was taken to make this the best article possible. Give it a read, you'll learn a lot 👇.
Discussions focusing only on post-WWII importation of Ukrainian Nazis to 🇨🇦, after a Nazi was honoured in its Parliament, miss the Canadian state's broader 75+ year project to import anti-communists into Canada at every opportunity. ✍️: @Aidan_Jonah 👇.

Naomi Klein, a classical anti-China social-democrat, rages against China because its socialist governance achieves more in a month than western social democracy has since WWII. 👇. ----
Popular, decentralized uprising in China against authoritarian rule has been so long in coming. The international left, such as it is, should stand in clear solidarity.

To say what I found in researching this article was a major shock to me would be a severe understatement. While I grasped that the Uighur genocide narrative was false, the sheer extent of the NED supported network which pushed this narrative in the subcommittee was stunning.
In @Aidan_Jonah's article, he exposes how a parliamentary subcommittee report declaring a “Uighur Genocide” in Xinjiang, was dominated by discredited researchers like @adrianzenz and groups funded by the CIA cut-out, @NEDemocracy.

@MarkGerretsen @PierrePoilievre You were happy to join other MPs in giving a Nazi veteran a standing ovation, @MarkGerretsen. Canadians should be more concerned about the standing ovation, given that Poilievre wants to support Ukraine just as hard as Trudeau.
AP News confirming that the 98-year old veteran given standing ovation by Canadian parliament, is Yaroslav Hunka, who fought for the 14th division of the Waffen SS. Canadian parliament gave a standing ovation to an outright Nazi collaborator. First noticed by @lingerence.

Friendly reminder that under international law, people under illegal occupation have the right to resist the occupation by any means they see fit.
Canada's terrorist entities list has been used to target Palestinian resistance & other anti-colonial resistance orgs in the Middle East & Latin America for decades. Meanwhile, Canadian supported right wing groups get a free pass. @Aidan_Jonah explains.

Chinagate 2.0, pushed by Canadian intelligence, has fallen flat on its face. Re: the original Chinagate👇.&
Trudeau now contradicts what he stated just days ago about China interfering in Canada's election. Trudeau: “I do not have any information, nor have I been briefed, on any federal candidates receiving any money from China.”

The New York Times is speaking of Freeland as the next potential NATO Secretary General. Freeland has never apologized for praising her Nazi collaborator grandfather, and loves Ukrainian fascists. Thread below details TCF articles about her.

From @RishiSunak in the UK, to New Brunswick education minister @DominicCardy and Republicans in the USA, Conservatives around the world are seeking to demonize Confucius Institutes, a valuable educational resource being targeted because of sinophobia. 👇.

Annamie Paul is an imperialist hack pushing pure propaganda against China. Quick thread on resources that debunk the lies about "Uighur genocide". Look for an article on this soon. Hate to see this dangerous narrative which promotes a war against China being pushed so hard.
.@CanadianGreens are calling for the 2022 Olympics to be relocated from Beijing due to ongoing genocide against Uighurs. Canada should consider whether it is feasible to offer itself as an alternative host, given our experience and venues #cdnpoli #Uighurs.

Genocidal Canada is fully embracing the role of the USA's lapdog. Canada's now calling for a "united front" against China, while they commit a genocide against Indigenous nations. This is how capitalist "democracies" behave when a powerful nation refuses to bow to the USA.

Supporting the US-led invasion of Korea in the 50s, unilaterally ending diplomatic relations with DPRK in 2010 & supporting an NED-funded anti-DPRK group in Canada since 2007 isn't a commitment to peace and stability. It's a commitment to imperialism.

The Canadian government still perpetrates aggression against the DPRK, via participating in Operation NEON, and allows a CIA-front funded group to influence policy towards the DPRK. Your imperialist aim to see the DPRK's fall will never come to pass.

1/. The biggest delusion is that the capitalists are even in the position to give concessions. The system is collapsing, and 'progressive' reforms were made to quell the threat of revolution that came from workers inspired by the achievements of the USSR.
The NDP, in both its federal and provincial iterations, has struggled in no small part because of a misguided notion that it should move to the centre to improve its electoral prospects. This has proven disastrous for the party. @TaylorNoakes.
