I mean, no shots for Manic Street Preachers, but they didn't even write that line. It's a quote from a Spanish Republican fighter.

Do you think Freeland was fighting for all those good things you're suggesting? Is there anything in her history that suggests that she would be for helping people the way they need it?

A: In this case, Freeland, but it probably extends to much of the Liberal caucus and cabinet.
B: Like you said, you have no idea what she'd propose. I''d love to hear what her proposal would be.

"Sleazy attempts to buy votes" is what (small-c) conservatives call anything that actually might help people even a little.
What does it say about someone, when they see no problem with billions of subsidies for big oil but strongly object to a smaller amount of money transferred to actual people?

What sticks out about Freeland's resignation letter to me is her criticism of "costly political gimmicks" which, in liberal parlance, means roughly "anything but austerity."
Did she quit because the government was distributing too much money to poor people*?
(*they're not giving nearly enough)

The video linked above shows some scenes. The AP and Reuters reported on it, but with serious pro-israel bias @npub1gjr…fryu @npub1k9g…l47g

Sure looks like some Israelis tried to enact a anti-arab pogrom in Amsterdam, and were not ready for residents to fight back @npub1k9g…l47g

AP is reporting those videos, so I'd be okay with dropping the "unverified" qualifier
