After digging into Hootsuite more... it's worse than I thought.

CEO Irina Novoselsky personally flew to Washington to pitch ICE. She told employees to stay quiet because speaking up "won't change the narrative."

OMERS Ventures - the pension fund for Ontario municipal workers, firefighters, paramedics, transit workers, and children's aid societies - is a Hootsuite investor.

"The logic of the killings is as important as the killings themselves. While a truth in itself, the moral horror is also a sign of the administration’s lies and lawlessness, a political logic known from 20th-century Soviet and Nazi totalitarian regimes and from attempts to replace the rule of law with personal tyranny."

"The logic of MAGA, especially as it is being aided along by its media ecosystem and by leading figures like Stephen Miller and JD Vance, is racial authoritarianism. It is white supremacy. But the murders of Pretti and Good should be a stark warning that whiteness ceases to offer protection as soon as a person opposes this regime and its program of racial terror."

"Respectable white people are now keenly aware that the logical conclusion of a decades' worth of anti-immigrant hatred includes murdering white people and they don't like it. They are shocked to discover that authoritarianism did not stop at the color line."

"Those in the media who choose to treat propaganda as the story, who begin from lies rather than from events, are also complicit. The border is the crack, the lies are the wedge, and the people who accept those lies are opening it wider."

See also T. Snyder's discussion of these issues in the video linked below.

"It is the crack that can be opened. The wedge is constructed with lies, which begin as cliches and memes that the government pounds into our heads, and which the media repeat, mindlessly or with malice.

One of these cliches is 'law enforcement,' which is uttered over and over like an incantation."

"The aspiring tyrant looks for cracks in the system that can be pried open.
One of these cracks is the border, where the country ends. Because the law ends there, too, an obvious move for the tyrant is to turn the whole country into a border, where no rules apply. ...

The border becomes the pretext to undo the law everywhere, at all times, and against anyone."

My fellow Canadians, if you want to be part of the USA, you can move there freely on your own. I encourage you to do so.

"To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there's an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason," said Eby ahead of the meeting.

I also have been thinking about this connection, it is so damn obvious, but no one in the media is talking about it.

The connection between the rise of authoritarianism, and the deep connection to the oil industry.

It has been obvious to anyone willing to stop for a moment and think... but #TheAmericanFascist, in his infinite wisdom and/or senility, has thrown down the veil.

#Venezuela is about access to #Oil in South America.

#Greenland is about access to Oil and Minerals in the #Arctic.

#Alberta Separatism is about access to Oil and Gas in #Canada.

Deposing the Iranian Regime is access to Oil and Gas in the Middle East. (Get #Iran, and you might get #Iraq too)

And lets not forget #Russia... fighting the #RussiaUkraineWar funded by their oil reserves and all about returning to an old empire in oil-rich Central Asia and Eastern Europe.

So is the fight to end fossil fuel use in order to preserve a liveable, recognizable planet, also a fight against authoritarianism and fascism?

You're damn right it is.
