Trump is fuelling a new McCarthyism that is both delusional and dangerous. It’s clearly intended to crack down on Americans who are resisting his anti-democratic agenda: including deadly ICE raids and endless wars of aggression. It’s also a serious escalation of violent authoritarianism from our next door neighbour.
Canada’s participation in this spectacle puts progressive Canadians at real risk. It’s outrageous, and the Prime Minister owes Canadians an explanation as to why he’s involving our country in this ugly episode.

@avilewis@mstdn.ca Alvin Finkel wrote an essay about post ww2 immigration policy that was relaxed for fascists, NASDAP and collaborators at the behest of the USA. Socialists were filtered from coming to Canada. This has been going on for generations. The essay is available for purchase at Western I believe.

@avilewis@mstdn.ca It's not a new McCarthyism. It's the same freegin operation.
