"You don't want children working in the mines? It's because you want to groom them or indoctrinate them into thinking they have the same value as billionaires, right? You radical leftist degenerate!"

That's how propaganda works.

Justice matters.

the political ads from Republic candidates often mention radical liberal left wing this and radical liberal left wing that. But no mention by progressive candidates of the 800 lb. gorilla in the room, the radical conservative right wing agenda. No mention AT ALL of Jan. 6. Why is that?

You mean, like Canadians with health-care for all, maternity leave and a free voting system that actually doesn't care what colour or religious affiliations you may be? Oh yes, female autonomy where a woman decides on her own health-care. WOW!!!!
