Canada should celebrate but know that it is not out of the woods yet. We need a real progressive alternative and we need to stop the momentum of the far-right cult. Right now we have neither; we have just seen off the most immediate threat.

floofloof@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Greta Thunberg labeled 'antisemite of the week' amid anti-Israel activityEnglish1·8 months ago“She has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred,” the organization said.
Thunberg, 21, was arrested on September 4 while demonstrating with Students Against the Occupation, who called on Copenhagen University to cut ties with Israel, including climate change programs. StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez condemned Thunberg, accusing her of prioritizing hatred for Israel over environmental activism despite Israel’s efforts on climate action.
“Sadly, Greta’s hatred of the world’s only Jewish nation eclipses her love of the environment. …”
Well would you look at that: they make no distinction between demanding the university cut ties with Israel, “hatred for Israel”, “hatred of the world’s only Jewish nation” and “vile Jew-hatred”. So for them there’s no gap between asking for pressure to stop Israel’s active genocide and hating all Jews. It’s so absurd and such a blatant attempt at political gaslighting they don’t deserve to be taken seriously.
He’s on his way back, because he doesn’t know how to do anything else. Let’s hope his colleagues at least take the party leadership away from him.
