Image is of Trudeau and Trump together at Mar-a-Lago in November 2024. Source is here.


The Liberals, headed by Trudeau, have not been doing so hot lately. Polls have been rather poor, showing the party far behind the Conservatives, and the Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland (an outspoken apologist for Ukrainian Nazis) resigned recently, with more MPs following her lead. Trump's return to power has shaken the Canadian establishment due to his threats to impose massive tariffs on Mexico and Canada, which will have substantial economic consequences given that Canada sends most of its exports to the US, compounding the economic malaise that has affected most of the world over the last few years.

With all this bad news, there are rumors and reports that Trudeau will soon resign, ending his nine years of rule. His fall would be yet another casualty in the wave of incumbent parties falling across the imperial core, only to be replaced by more conservative parties that have very similar policies but wish to cast all blame and hardship onto minorities.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:

Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.

To me, all the recent changes look like a desperate but sincere attempt to get the ceasefire agreement to work, with the Lebanese government being pressured to do this by the mediators of the agreement, in the United States and France. After it was initially reported that only 25% of the Lebanese army force that was agreed to showed up, suddenly we get a large ampunt of photo ops or the Lebanese army advancing in South Lebanon and destroying Hezbollah equipment, along with Israeli withdrawals in those areas. And these operations coincide with the election of this new Lebanese president. It seems as if the Lebanese state is desperate to make this ceasefire agreement work to try and buy some peace.

All in all the twitter thread was good until the last tweet, which is honestly just cope. How is the election of a president, to enforce a ceasefire agreement that looks to de-militirise Hezbollah, in any way going to generate any kind of guarantees that would be upheld? The resistance had to fold here to maintain political stability, as mentioned earlier in the thread.

poland-cool stated they also will not obey the ICC ruling and the Nazi entity will protect Satan if he enters the country - Al Jazeera

This is the same Poland who is tied with Estonia for being fanatically obsessed with NATO/NAFO and idolise Boer terrorists such as Janusz Walus, already ensuring tensions ahead of time (and even ahead of piSSrael) with South Africa once the Apartheid ended. It's been almost a decade since South Africa attempted to leave the ICC on the grounds of the court's illegitimacy, time to go for seconds maybe?

Xi, launch the rockets

457 Israeli Violations against Lebanon were recorded from the date of the ceasefire, November 27 until December 27, 2024.

i'm not familiar with the source, but i'm not surprised by israel's unwillingness to stop destroying land and people after agreeing to its own "ceasefire"

The first MP to publicly announce running for leadership to replace Trudeau is Chandra Arya from Nepean, Ontario, and he has vowed to turn Canada into a sovereign republic.

He's sort of a chud but damn getting rid of the king is a bold move.

Edit: he also wants to recognize Palestine as a state

A little news from Kursk oblast. All of the Kiev regime’s recent attacks failed – they could not capture a single settlement. Meanwhile, over the past few days, Russian forces liberated the Kursk oblast settlements of Leonidovo, Russkoye Porechnoye, and Kruglenkoye.

In addition, over 20 Kiev regime invaders (from the “82nd Airborne Assault Brigade” and the “225th Separate Assault Battalion”) surrendered to Russian forces in Kursk oblast, near Berdin (videos): https://southfront.press/testimony-of-ukrainian-soldiers-captured-in-russian-kursk-region/

More drone strikes on Kiev regime armored vehicles near the Kursk oblast settlement of Berdin (video): https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20890-Berdin.mp4?_=1

Mainstream media glosses over role of Ukrainian far-right in Wpg hate crimes - People's Voice

Mainstream media in Canada is glossing over the role of far-right Ukrainian groups in acts of hate. Specifically, coverage of the recent appearance of swastikas on a southwest Winnipeg community centre have failed to acknowledge the presence and significance of the spraypainted “M.K.Y.” next to the hate symbols. MKY (or MKU) is an extreme-right accelerationist Ukrainian group that recruits online and encourages acts of racist acts of violence.

The Los Angeles fire department has decided to give priority to strategically important locations, vital to American infrastructure. Los Angeles firefighters were seen putting out a fire at a McDonalds.

Bit idea: try to get NAFOs to agree that the Soviet invasion of Poland was good (which it was) because it restored Ukraine's territorial integrity after Poland illegally invaded and annexed parts of it.

If they try to disagree, ask them if Lviv/Lwów should be given back to Poland. If they say no, ask how Ukraine should have gotten that land back otherwise.

I'm actually a bit surprised Qassam doesn't use drones too much against the genocidal entity. We have seen a bunch of those on Oct 7th and a few afterwards, which includes that famous shot of a drone dropping a small grenade on a gathering of iof soldiers. Tbh I expected to see more of that, and perhaps even FPV drones which would disable enemy armour.

Huh, perhaps they couldnt get ahold of a significant number of drones due to the blockade and the limited number they have are used to plan for ambushes or observation, who knows. Also FPV drones are a novelty too, but the ones that drop explosives aren't. It's a shame because they could inflict a fuckton of casualties on the colonizers.

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 38 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It's probably difficult for them to acquire drones, since they are under an embargo and total siege by Israel, and Egypt has also closed its border
