We have so many tools and strategies available to us in terms of building proper, meaningful resistance, but let's not make the mistakes of the pre-1968 exclusionary left past.

It's time for a new New Left, built with challenging all oppression and marginalisation at its core.

Neither polemicists, nor institutions - neither politicians, not professionalism - will help us build a better future, at least not until we consolidate our gains. Instead, community resistance, perhaps initially on small scales, and manifest expressions of solidarity will work.

Notice how both Trump and Boris have pivoted from deriding "the elite" to appropriating that label for their respective - and intertwined - visions.

This is what populism is always about: rallying people to work directly against their own interests to reaffirm hegemony. Always. There's a lot to be said about the international conservative networks and how they coordinate messaging, whether it's through Lynton Crosby's and Rupert Murdoch's brands, or through the ultranationalism of Bannon, Farage, et al.

You do know they don't care about people, right?

I am committed irrevocably and fundamentally to decolonisation, including the comprehensive dismantling of the Canadian state and Canadian identity.

My personal Canadian history is international, but one theme remains ever present: the absolute horror of colonialism. #CanadaDay By heritage, I'm mixed: Irish (Catholic, republican) and Indian (Punjabi and Gujarati). Together, these identities make me who I am, in addition to having been born and raised on Treaty 7 land.

I have to be committed to decolonisation because, in a way, I am Canada. #CanadaDay
