Hey Ron DeSantis, you're gonna want to check out MeidasCanada tomorrow. We're taking the fight straight to you from Newfoundland. @charlieangus104.bsky.social
My wife Brit Griffin was the one who ordered me out of bed on the morning after the Trump election and said I needed to start articulating a path out of this darkness. I haven't stopped since. She is also a better writer than me. Her new book comes out in September.
This is really exciting. A Canadian news platform which is explicitly pro-worker and anti-fascist? Hell yes. This is exactly what we need to help counter the relentless right-wing propaganda that has infested our mostly U.S.-owned corporate media. Big thanks to @charlieangus104.bsky.social!
My reflections of Labour Day. This is a time for working class resistance in the face of the oligarchs. charlieangus.substack.com/p/no-such-th...

45 years ago today Terry Fox was forced to call off the Marathon of Hope at Thunder Bay. He showed a nation what determination and leadership meant. Terry has stayed in our hearts ever since. We carry his spirit in these troubled times.
Thank you so much. We are a very small team but we are determined and ready to rumble.
@charlieangus104.bsky.social Hey Charlie boy, Good luck with the new 🍁Maple Meidas Mighty debut‼️ We need Truth Warriors around the world to step up for a Democratic future. We here in Canada 🇨🇦 are lucky to have you. 😁👍
We are pumped to be launching @meidascanada.ca today. Our first Meidas Canada townhalls take place this weekend. Charlottetown is sold out but there are still a few tickets available for the official tour launch in North Rustico PEI. The revolution starts now. @meidastouch.com
For Labour Day. I wrote this song working while working on a longterm project about the the life of hardrock miners in the north.
Canada now has Charlie as our Meidas Man. Follow him @meidascanada.ca
Alberta used to have one of the best education systems in Canada. As recently as 2022 PISA data shows Alberta students ranking first in Canada for science and reading, and second in math. Watch those scores plummet with Maple MAGA in charge. Daniele Smith loves the uneducated.
The Grievous Angels present this song for Labour Day. "I've got two jobs, I've got 3 roommates, I'm a woman of 43. I've got a dream that keeps me going of a place I've never seen." www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdlc...

Great news. I hope they’ll keep posting on BS. You go Charlie!! #Resistance 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦
Pay attention Canadians: Alberta premier Danielle Smith is copying the worst of the worst US fascist States (Florida!). Book banning is anti-democratic. Ban Danielle Smith instead!

On the subway I ran into 2 parliamentary journalists. They grilled me about my views on fascism. "What if you're wrong?" "Wouldn't that be awesome?" I said. I hadn't been on their shows in 6 months so I asked them why they cared what I thought. They know I'm not wrong. This is why @meidascanada.ca

Message from an Alberta teacher: "I've been told that kids aren't allowed to bring books from home. No free choice reading. No silent reading time or listening to reading. No library time until books are catalogued and deemed appropriate. Please contact your MLA." @daniellesmithab.bsky.social
Canadian and international resistance leader Charlie Angus strikes just the right chord, again and again. He's no shrieker, but uses forceful language, is knowledgeable on both history and international relations, and he is a fierce enemy of fascism. He launches Meidas Touch Canada on Labor Day.
My grandmother was a nurse who came of age in the nightmare years of whooping cough, measles, polio. She understood the power of vaccines to save children's lives. Now the anti-vaxx right wing conspiracy mob have laid out the welcome mat to these killers. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...
@charlieangus104.bsky.social will be shining a light on fascism & MAGA activities in 🇨🇦 with the launch of Meidas Canada on Labour Day. youtu.be/2Hpa-sz0ZVA?...
I don’t know what the future of our beautiful Canada 🇨🇦 is but… You go Charlie boy because warriors such as yourself will be instrumental in what happens next for us. 🇨🇦 Canada Strong 💪
Christie Pits in Toronto is a symbol of the fight against fascism. This is where people stopped the Nazis in 1933. The haters are trying to come to the park again. On Sept 13 let's flood the park with people for a non-violent day of resistance to the race haters. Our streets. Our parks. Our cities.
I can't wait to see the premier show of the hardest work'in man in Canada!
Looking forward to the Canadian leg of #meidastouch #meidascanada This is the only network that has been covering current events with integrity and journalism. Main stream media is a joke. Congrats @charlieangus104.bsky.social for taking the lead with this important work-keeping Canadians informed
I am looking forward to the fact based, no-nonsense, Canadian content as a part of the Meidas mighty network. 😄🇨🇦 We are stronger together. #elbowsup Canada #cdnpoli

Dear lovely Canadian neighbors: I know many are boycotting, but please drive our companies into the ground as much as possible. Do not buy #American. Choke us out. Not a single sale should be made of American products within your borders. Thank you! ❤️ #Canada #usa #trump #boycott
Let's make that 100%
Canadian sales of American whiskey only dropped 62%?! C'mon Canada, let's get that to 100%!

Having been at NATO meetings in Europe I have little faith that the main countries would step up for Article 5 if we asked for their help. However, we have significant lessons to be learned from Finland and Sweden. We must also build our relations with the Baltics. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Canadians - do better - Canadian sales should drop 100%
In a press release Jack Daniels was whining that their profits and Canadian consumers are being hurt by our own boycott. They still don't get. They say sales dropped 62%. C'mon people we can do better than that. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Please give @charlieangus104.bsky.social’s Substack Post a read. The U.S. is now targeting a Canadian Jurist on the International Criminal Court ⬇️.
“The stronger PM Mark Carney is for Canada the worse the rhetoric from Pierre Poilievre’s Canadian MAGA party. I’ve never seen a Leader of Opposition denigrate the country. It’s sad. He’s tone deaf.” New OShow Scandal Panel 🇨🇦 #Cndpoli 🔗 youtu.be/frAtHdqsF3M?si…
“ ...it will represent a serious betrayal of Canada's longstanding positions on international law. It will mean that Canada's commitment to international law exists at the whim of those who break international law." You can’t just follow laws when they’re convenient.
The Grievous Angels are performing at the Cobalt Classic Theatre Saturday October 18. Call the Classic Theatre in Cobalt to get your tickets.
Trump's regime has targeted a Canadian judge on the International Criminal Court. Canada is being muscled by the gangsters. France has denounced the threat to the court. So far silence from the PM. Canada needs to be clear where we stand. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/canada-on-...

CANADIANS AGAINST GENOCIDE An important vigil is happening in Sarnia, ON on Saturday, August 30 from 11 am to 12:30 pm - corner of Murphy and London Roads If you can be there, go. If you can't be there, share. If you want to do more, organize in your communities.
Edmonton Public Schools has decided that Margaret Atwood is too dangerous for youth to read. As is Brave New World. 1984 is banned by Grade 9s and younger. This is the MAGA machine of Danielle Smith in action. Perhaps a public book burning will reassure the base. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Leave it to Neil Young to call out the fascists on the streets and in the White House. He keeps rocking in the free world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=57WE...
Well that will certainly change my husband's whisky choice. Crown Royal has been his go-to for years. I'm more of a wine person but I do make homemade Bailey's with his Crown Royal. We will be finding a new Canadian option.
I'm in.
Yay!!! Again, better together for fighting fascism. We can out our petty differences aside for the GREATER GOOD OF THE NORTH American continent.
We need news that talks straight. Looking forward to the launch of #MeidasCanada 🍁🦫
Wow, Crown Royal will never sell anything to Canadians ever again, just like that
I've been buying Canadian whiskey for the last year. Boycotting red states were most of the whiskey distilled in the US. Canadian whiskey is competitive to its American counterpart. This brand is a good value $10 more than Canadian club big bottle every bit as good as Crown Royal
Crown Royal shuts their Canadian plant to sell in the US. They should be counting on American buyers. Canadians have so many good whisky options to choose from.
No more Crown Royal for me. They would rather sell to Americans than keep jobs in Canada. I put them on the same list as Wayne Gretzky wines. Thanks but no thanks. Btw... there are so many great Canadian whiskies to choose.
The logo says it all. FAFO

On September 13, race haters will hold a rally at Christie Pits field in Toronto. In 1933, 10,000 people fought in the streets with baseball bats to put the run on the Nazis. Come out to Christie Pits to protect our history of inclusion and diversity. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-riot-o...
I'd say let's help pack his bags but he might get appointed to a senior position in the White House administration. Wouldn't be fair to our American neighbours. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
I'm looking forward to the launch of @meidascanada.ca The majority of #Canadian #MSM is #Conservative owned & funded. We NEED an alternative in #Canada @meidastouch.com with @charlieangus104.bsky.social on #LabourDay #MeidasCanada #MeidasTouch #Independant #News #Canada #cdnpoli #antifa
#CanadianMediaHasFailedUs It’s Time For Change & Truth 🇨🇦 It’s Time We Stand Up To Misinformation & Disinformation 🇨🇦
The Grievous Angels Revolution album is being finalized. In the age of fascists and monsters we are ready to rumble.
We will be launching @meidascanada.ca on Labour Day. This is a project to build global networks of resistance in the age of gangster fascism. Thanks to everyone from across the globe who have been reaching out.
@charlieangus104.bsky.social is right as usual - and in the UK we need to counter the lies of Reform with some proper independent progressive news sources
We launch @meidascanada.ca on Labour Day. I spoke earlier this summer at the PanAmerican Congress in Mexico on fighting fascism. One of the key tools is building alternate networks of information. This is why I have teamed up with @meidastouch.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8JP...
Independent Media is really taking off & Charlie Angus is launching Meidas Canada in partnership with the Meidastouch crew in the US. He's been very vocal about resistance to the US & rails against PP so it'll be interesting to see what happens with this. bsky.app/profile/char...
They wanna show up in their hundreds we show up in the fucking thousands. I don’t condone violence, but definitely bring the baseball bats for your own protection Tell these fuckers it was not OK in 1933 it sure as fuck is not OK in 2025 and that their actions have consequences in folks remember 1/
Hey Charlie boy‼️ If it wasn’t for you telling us this…how else would we know❓ I watch Canada’s 🇨🇦MSMedia. If it wasn’t for your info, I who’ve known nothing of this event until after the fact. 🤨
In 1933 Christie Pits in Toronto was where the Nazi threat in Canada made their first stand. They were chased off the streets by baseball bats. The racist are once again coming to Christie Pits on Sept 13. The park belongs to the people. Not the haters. Time to put the run on the racists.
Perfect timing-something new for Canadians to celebrate this Labour Day!

My grandfather's family spoke highland gaelic. They deliberately didn't teach their children the language for fear it would hold them back. Such was the power of the colonial project. @kneecapceol.bsky.social is coming to Canada and my daughters are over the moon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI4Q...

You go @charlieangus104.bsky.social !
Getting set to launch @meidascanada.ca on Labour Day Monday. With the altec B 39 microphone. Good enough for 5-year-old Gladys Knight good enough for Good Night and Good luck good enough for resistance in the ages of gangster fascists. @meidastouch.bsky.social
Liz Wood supported me when I ran for the NDP leadership. She was an old school organizer who could win fights on the ground. The data pros thought she was a dinosaur. I adored her. She said, "we're going to get along great. I'm a dyke. I love Catholic mystics and I have a car full of blues CDs."
GO IF THEY ARE IN YOUR AREAS!!! 💙

A powerful call out for the media to speak up against the fascist threat. In dealing with gangster fascism there aren't two sides to the story.
Since you don't post under a real name I hope you don't mind that I checked out your page to see what your concerns were about Ford. I see a long list of posts about Trump, Ukraine, international issues, RFK Jr. Ford not so much. Glad that you have been reposting me. All the best Charlie
You could check out my resistance page. It would probably help alleviate your anxiety on this issue. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-breath...
It really felt like this video, near an airport hanger, hoards of people, Liam's parka, prescient.
Thanks Charlie! You’re the best! @Hey! @mark-carney.bsky.social fascism coming to a country near you! #Genocide #GlobalCondemnation #Palestinians💔 #StopIsraelNow
Labour Day monday.
I told the security guards I had just been discharged from the hospital and the nurse told me I had to wear the scarf to protect my neck. They were very confused and let me through.
This isn't something that you "mock" It's not funny. It's not the sign of just a dumb-ass in the White House. This is another example of an American world view where negotiations with fascism is considered okay. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
A woman gave me this scarf. I didn't think twice about wearing it to Oasis. Three different security guards told me that my scarf wasn’t permitted in the stadium. They said Palestinian symbols weren’t allowed. What’s the story, morning glory? The scarf loved the show.
