Unpopular take: Getting off the reserve alive is what makes an indigenous person a “survivor,” not having attended a residential school. Here’s why. You may want to bookmark this one. 1/10 🧵

I’ve been thinking about the same point. Here in BC, there are so many Giants that proceeded Douglas. Cook, Vancouver, Thompson, Fraser, MacKenzie. And then there was Trutch, who is much aligned for rightly denying the continuance of aboriginal land rightes after the establishment of Crown sovereignty.

The Fathers of Confederation are not enough. We must summon primordial Canada: Loyalist defiance of dissolution, Brock’s martyrdom, Simcoe’s stone resolve, de Salaberry’s cunning, and the visceral spirit of Survivance on the St. Lawrence.

Will @Dallas_Brodie condemn Obama for “using Nazi rhetoric” the same way she dishonestly criticized Tara Armstrong? Merely saying the words “blood and soil” makes you a Nazi right?
AF Post@AFpost

Barack Obama called VP JD Vance hypocritical for espousing "blood and soil" rhetoric and suggesting that being an American depends on how long one's parents were in the country while being married to the "daughter of an immigrant himself." Follow: @AFpost

I guess when Obama criticizes "blood and soil" that's okay, but when I criticize "blood and soil" it's Nazism? Any thoughts? @Dave_Eby @Dallas_Brodie

@JaymeKnyx I saw this first hand in Victoria, when an NGO funded by the city was paying protesters to attend the Palestine protests. So so many of these demonstrations are Astroturfed.

BAN PAID PROTESTING NOW! 🚩 Paid protesting is a direct assault on democracy that must be banned outright. It is not speech. It is not activism. It is the deliberate manufacturing of fake public will by hidden interests who buy bodies to flood streets, dominate headlines, and distort reality itself. Allowing this practice to continue hands our political system to the highest bidder and invites foreign enemies, corporate predators, and domestic agitators to hijack the appearance of popular consent. The arguments for outlawing it are not debatable niceties, they are urgent necessities for national survival. Foreign and Dark Money Influence:🚩 Hostile foreign regimes and anonymous dark-money networks are pouring undisclosed cash into hiring crowds to amplify division, paralyze cities, and manufacture chaos on demand. These are not organic protests. They are outsourced operations designed to weaken America from within, erode trust in our institutions, and create the illusion of overwhelming public support for agendas that would never survive honest scrutiny. Banning paid protesting slams the door on this form of hybrid warfare. Every dollar spent hiring protesters is a dollar spent subverting sovereignty. We either stop it or we accept that our democracy can be rented by our adversaries. Protecting Grassroots Authenticity:🚩 When individuals are compensated to hold signs, chant slogans, and occupy space, the entire concept of grassroots democracy becomes a fraud. It artificially inflates the size and passion of causes, gaslights lawmakers into believing fringe positions enjoy massive public backing, and teaches citizens that their uncompensated voices are worthless compared to whoever can afford the biggest rented mob. This is not democracy, it is the prostitution of public opinion. Real conviction cannot be purchased. Once money enters the equation, every protest becomes suspect, every movement tainted, and the sacred link between the people and their government is severed. We protect authenticity by making paid participation in political demonstrations illegal. Preventing Unlawful Agitation:🚩 When people are hired rather than inspired, organizers gain a powerful lever: the threat of cutting off the paycheck. This makes it far easier to push crowds toward blocking highways, vandalizing property, assaulting bystanders, and escalating into riots that destroy businesses, endanger lives, and cost communities billions. Paid participants have less skin in the game and more incentive to follow orders that produce dramatic footage and political pressure. The profit motive does not create peaceful expression, it creates a marketplace for disruption. Outlawing paid protesting removes the economic fuel from political violence and forces any demonstration to stand on the actual conviction of unpaid citizens who are willing to risk something real. Transparency is Not Enough:🚩 Even the weakest version of this practice demands immediate, ironclad disclosure rules: every organization, every subcontractor, every foreign or domestic dollar must be exposed in real time, exactly as we require for lobbying and campaign finance. Sunlight is the bare minimum. But sunlight alone will not stop the corruption. The very act of paying citizens to perform political theater pollutes the information environment and makes authentic consent impossible to discern. Half-measures like disclosure without bans are surrender dressed up as compromise. We do not tolerate paid votes or paid testimony in court. We should not tolerate paid political mobs either. This is not a marginal issue. It is a foundational threat. Paid protesting allows the powerful to simulate the will of the people while silencing the actual people. It rewards deception, enables foreign interference, cheapens every sincere cause, and lowers the threshold for chaos. Ban it completely and enforce it aggressively. Restore the principle that in a real democracy, the crowds in the streets must be there because they believe, not because they were paid. Anything less is complicity in the slow-motion auction of self-government.

@BC_Citcon I would guess that she is slow rolling or still negotiating A4 crossing to the NDP otherwise she would’ve been announced as the leader given that she’s a sitting MLA and beloved by legacy media.

CPBC should respond by ridiculing the NDP for standing idly by as Trudeau stuffed 10 million more people into the country and filled up every ER, classroom, and highway with foreign wage slaves. The typical comms we’ve seen: we disagree! we are not racist you’re so mean.

Drug addictions aren’t disabilities, and it’s insulting to people living with actual disabilities to compare them. Instead of punishing employers for maintaining a safe workplace, we should be funding recovery. Sign my petition below to defund illegal drugs in BC.
Claire Lehmann@clairlemon

In Canada, drug addiction counts as a disability, which means employers can be sued for firing workers who are on drugs. One man sued after nearly killing a coworker in a workplace accident. Former Chair of Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in @Quillette quillette.com/2026/07/16/i-c…

A pretty strong start for the new KLF comms team. What’s needed still I think is to go beyond merely attacking the NDP for hating our history. We need to relearn that history. celebrate it. Redeem the heroes. Own and embody the brave and ambitious spirit of our founders. People will only appreciate how depraved the left is for desecrating British Columbia’s heritage if they understand who and what made British Columbia great in the first place.
Kerry-Lynne Findlay@KerryLynneFindl

The NDP calls British Columbia "racist", "colonial" and "genocidal." They even claim the word “British Columbian” is offensive. The BC Conservatives disagree. We see what millions of British Columbians see: a beautiful province full of hardworking families who are proud to call BC home.

Anyone for “Flat Earth Denialism”? ———- Just to put things in perspective: In the US, its leaders are fighting for the survival of Western civilization and its visionaries are mapping out interplanetary colonization. In Canada, we’re working out who a woman is and resurrecting 17th C Indigenous “science” and the ritual dances that make it possible. 🤯
