@johncke.bsky.social argues that MAGA dissent is rooted in nationalism, antisemitic conspiracy, and racism—and why any alliance would be a dead end for the Left.

Carney’s fuel tax pause rewards polluters Carney’s fuel tax pause rewards polluters and will generate more windfall profits for oil companies amidst a rising affordability crisis.

Carney’s fuel tax pause rewards polluters.

Instead of capturing windfall profits for the public good, Ottawa is bankrolling fossil fuel companies and starving services needed during the #climatecrisis.
