OK, who wants to see poor people die, raise your hand. Who wants to see BIPOC brutalised and killed, raise your hand. Who wants to see LBGTQ2+ people beaten? If you can't raise your hand for these things, why the hell do you support political parties that are OK with it? 1/6
If you support a party that is predicated on racism & discrimination, you are the problem. You don't get to pick & choose what part of a party's policy and identity you agree with. It is a package deal. You can't say "I'm a fiscal conservative" to justify voting for the CPC. 2/6
Or the UCP. Or the Saskatchewan Party. Or the Ontario PCs, or the Manitoba PCs. You cannot separate the bits you like from what the party is as a whole. It's a package deal, folks. You want a tiny bit of it so you vote for it? Guess what? You voted for ALL of it. 3/6
You voted for defunding health care and education. You voted for rolling back minimum wages and workplace health and safety. You voted for reducing environmental protection. You voted for racist speechwriters and unaccountable war rooms. 4/6
You voted for Stephen Harper having his hands on your future and the future of your children and grandchildren. You voted for full-on corporate profit. You voted for unbridled gun ownership and use. "Property rights" means the right to kill someone on your property. 5/6
You voted for usurious insurance rates. You voted for governments that do not give a damn about you. They are only here for their corporate buddies. No, you can't just be a "fiscal conservative". Package deal. No substitutions. 6/6
