Coalition of labour, community, and residents in so-called Ottawa. Let's build a working-class movement that can defend our communities and our rights.
Creepy weirdos Billboard Chris and Maxime Bernier plan to gather this Friday in front of our schools to spread transphobic hatred. Again.
Let's show up and support community members who shouldn't have to deal with weird men harassing kids at school. #Ottawa
I saw the "million man march" crew at Parliament.
They were off by about five zeros.
And the ones who were there got totally freaked out by the queer and trans youth who showed up.
As always, when confronted bullies turn to snowflakes.
3/ Today and every day hereafter, we say “fuck off, fascists,” not out of hatred but out of our fierce love for one another and our burning desire for a better future for all.
September 20th will never belong to the bigots and the transphobes. It belongs to us.
¡No pasarán!
2/ After two and a half years of consistently outnumbering and out-organizing the far right, we proudly award ourselves this certificate of recognition in celebration of our incredible strength and resilience.
1/ In recognition of both our collective and successful opposition to fascist bigotry since 2022, we, the people of Ottawa, hereby declare September 20th to be “Community Defence Day” #Ottawa
“Sometimes it's the quality, not the quantity,”
They had neither. Our communities have incredible strength and resilience which is unmatched by these haters.
(Also, CAHN is being very generous here, the “million march” was more like… 30 people)
NEW: Despite being called the "1 Million March," one speaker at the Ottawa event told the small crowd, "We should never base our success on numbers.”

Good, actually. We are all home safe because unlike these jackasses, we have better things to do than hang out on Wellington Street and act like assholes all day.
4/ As anyone who is serious about fighting child abuse knows, most abuse against children is perpetrated by their parents or someone who knows them, not some random teacher, drag queen, or queer kid who just wants to make it through high school without being bullied.
3/ When the leader of a movement whose guiding principle is that children are the property of parents expresses his vocal support for an alleged sex trafficker, one can't help but think that there is a real dark side to this whole movement.

2/ In fact, Kamel even asked Tate to collaborate with him and promote the Million March this year.
In what must be a blow to Kamel's incredible ego, Tate did not reply.
1/ Would you be surprised to learn that Kamel el-Cheikh, the leader of the Million March for Children and a crusader against what he terms the sexualization of children, is an admirer of alleged sex trafficker and serial rapist Andrew Tate?
Are you planning to join community members across the country in solidarity for queer and trans youth at one of the 43 planned counter-demonstrations opposing anti-2SLGBTQ+ protests tomorrow?

Hating 2SLGBTQIA+ people, which Kamel thinks make up less than 2% of the population (a significant underestimation, but that’s neither here nor there) is kind of Kamel’s entire thing.
