Diagolon: https://flic.kr/p/2pMN5qz

Rachel Gilmore

All the extremism experts I’ve spoken with about Diagolon have made it clear that *this* is where the threat lies with the group.

It just takes one person to decide they need to act on this rhetoric.

“We cannot coexist.”

What does that mean, in practice?

Nothing good.

even went after the Conservative leaders wife last year. The Conservative Leader stopped at a far right anti-tax convoy to commune with the anti tax people. He went into a trailer that had the diagolon flag in black marker on the outside of the graffiti filled side of the trailer. Liberals are trying to get him to denounce Diagalon. Diagalon supports the People's Party of Canada which is far far right. They lost the last election and Trudeau won a minority because the conservative vote was split between the PPC and the Conservative Party of Canada. We want the Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to denounce diagalon. Basically Pierre Poilievre, Conservative Leader, is trying for a big tent. He is 20 points ahead in the polls. Rachel Gilmore is very brave in calling out the right and hate groups. She gets threatened regularly.

is going down, so I’m happy to hear he’s up in the polls. I’d love it if the PPC and Conservatives split their vote again — do you know when they’re going to call the election?

Keep sociopathy and narcissists out of politics, never reward them with power, wealth or second chances. Marginalize and contain them and apply the law fully when they step out of line. Sociopaths and narcissists can never be cured they will always be what they are and therapy does nothing. It’s a personality type not a mental illness. A mental illness is defined by being able to improve.

These toxic people cannot be treated like other people they need to be kept on a very short leash.
