The modern equivalent is more Botox and baseball caps, but the fascist undercurrents need to be recognized. We need to see it for what it is and call it out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________...

We will continue to share the real history of...

A small minority of MAPLE MAGA are trying to break up Canada. They need to be reminded that they are on treaty lands, and that Alberta and Saskatchewan didn't exist until 30 years after the treaties were signed.
