As an American so far woke has meant for us.
Just a word of caution before you get rid of those things too
He already said he wants to use the notwithstanding clause to forego due process.
Sure, it’s murderers or whatever now, but when have governments ever stopped there? And why can’t our justice system deal with this?
Every suspension of due process seems to have the same contours.
Pick a person that you can tell your followers is “obviously bad.”
Now, because they are so obviously bad it seems like it should be no bother at all to go prove that to a court. But your followers didn’t get into this cult for the critical thinking skills workshops.
And now you’ve got your due process loophole, everything is all nice and legalish. The followers will never find themselves caught in that loophole, no sir, they aren’t “obviously bad.” Oh a follower of the cult just got caught in the loophole, well they must have not been a real follower, they are retroactively obviously bad.
What do you mean I’m obvious bad, no I’m not?! I can prove I’m not bad, I have evidence that I said the right things, I thought the right thoughts, I hated the right people!!! When’s my day in court, I can’t believe the things they are saying about me!!!!
What do you mean get on the plane to CECOT?! I’m not a terrorist, I’m not in MS13, this is preposterous. You are only supposed to use this on people who are obviously bad…
He said he would only apply it to "multiple murderers" , then he'll define abortion as murder to apply this to anybody providing abortion services in Canada or supporting abortion. They aren't even clever with their evil plans, it's more transparent than glass.
They aren't even clever with their evil plans, it's more transparent than glass.
Trump was pretty clear what he would do, and still people voted for him. Or failed to vote against him.
Things that PP thinks is woke:
Why did the Conservatives choose a child to be their leader?
Don't forget gay marriage and equal rights. They are in the party platform as things to get rid of
Things that PP thinks is woke:
Climate, the CBC, "brown" people, the poor....
Stoke the woke. For a change.
Reminder: "Woke is a slang adjective that can mean being aware of social issues, especially racial justice."
Conservatives wanting to "end woke ideology" is exactly why Canada should never vote for a Conservative government. We are so much better than PP and the Cons.
They mean basic human rights.
He sounds exactly like trump.
He is exactly like Trump.
But without the orange “charisma “.
I've noticed you can basically replace "woke" with empathy (in various forms).
I've broken a few people out of the "anti-woke" cycle by pointing this out. It tends to work best on people who would be woke themselves, if it was presented in a different light.
Oh, but he HAS said what it means.
And his actions since day one have backed this up.
Said Indigenous Peoples needed to learn the value of hard work more than they needed compensation for residential schools
He apologized as soon as he got pushback. (Assuming this is the same one you're referring to)
In a lot of ways I think that's worse: he's an asshole until he's called on it, and then he hides behind an apology. It's right up there with "just a prank bro."
Just a reminder that if he loses and quits he's entitled to a $20,000 per month pension for life.
Worth the price to keep him out of power. He'd send Canada down the route the US is going down.
Ok.. that's better than him winning or losing and not quitting
He's going to rid society of an awareness of societal issues?
So he's running on Danielle Smith's and Ron DeSantis' (Trump Lite) platform still.
Exactly.
Woke is whatever scares me.
Without woke life will be like it was in the ‘50’s which is better then now.
The 50's was only better for white men. Everyone else suffered.
Even as a white man, I'll be happier living in a society where everyone else doesn't have to suffer.
None of us are free until all of us are free
“the true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.”
I don't think it's about fear. I think it's about seething hatred and resentment. They have been made to feel stupid, intolerant, backwards, racist, etc. and Trump and the right wing billionaire owned corporate media have told them that they are right to be angry and resentful and definitely shouldn't try to better themselves in order to manipulate them into voting for fascism against their own self-interest and the interests of their wives and daughters and the country.
Electing that shit ain't goin' so well for us down south here. Canada, don't let us down and make the same dumbass mistake.
it 'means' literally taking a photocopy of donvict's playbook, converting to metric and translating to french where appropriate, and running with it.
Losing election? There’s an unfortunately solid chance this goof wins. Prepare yourself cause there’s a fucky feeling in the air.
