Fuck the European Union

Canadians are tired. They feel like there's no hope. That things are only going to get worse. That their children will not have the same opportunities that they enjoyed — and they are right to be afraid.

Because leaders like Mark Carney, so-called leaders like Mark Carney, think they are justified in selling your citizenship to the European Union without any vote, without any consultation. He felt so empowered to take your sovereignty as a citizen and include it in theirs.

Fuck the European Union! Not a part of the European Union. Make Canada a part of the United States of America!

The people want freedom! They want the opportunity to raise families and create a culture that serves their dignity, that they feel like they have a future in — not just for this life, but for their children, for their children's children — so that for generations they can grow and become prosperous, so that they can experience true freedom — the freedom to create, to love, to explore, to become a self-actualized human being, not a slave.

VOTE JOSH THOMPSON.

EVERYTHING THE LIGHT TOUCHES WILL BE OURS

One month ago today I began this journey — my heart was aching for this city, for this country — and I felt powerless, but now, since beginning this campaign I can feel the fire burning inside of me like never before. I have never felt so alive — so certain in my action, yet so heavily the truth and responsibility weighs. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little panicked about what's to come — we are in some kind of holy mind fuck psychological info war — and our enemies are all around us.

But when the dark is all around us and it seems like it might swallow you whole, that is when the torch of the spirit burns the brightest. We will shine like a legion of beacons powered by the sun. EVERYTHING THE LIGHT TOUCHES WILL BE OURS!

Should Canada become the 51st State? I put it to a vote. Yes or No. You already know where I stand.

Fight or Flight

CBC trying to obfuscate my presence at the debate — but the Daily Bread CEO went on radio to talk about it anyways 😂 Apparently I showed him whether he believes in Fight or Flight 😂😂 I guess that goes for us both.

Doing an interview with CP24 today — stay tuned.

I will split the vote if I feel like it — if you guys get stuck with another 4 years of Little Miss China — that's on you! Not me! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I AM the whole article

This Saturday the 19th at 5PM I will be at City Hall for the Change my Mind: Make Canada the 51st State event! I encourage all of you to join us there for an educational and entertaining conversation about whether Canada should be a part of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter — I hope to see some of you there!

Please join me this Saturday the 19th at 5PM in front of City Hall by the rising concrete amphitheatre thing — FOR AN EPIC AND FREQUENCY RAISING DISCUSSION! About the future of Canada! And whether we should be or become — perhaps already are — THE 51st STATE.

No FAKE POLITICIANS! JUST ME and I am the whole article — what you see is what you get!

I AM calling on you to bring all of your strongest and most PATIENT men. We are not, and will not plan for violence — however I would like to be prepared in case it unfolds. We need men present who can protect people in case the violent and UNHINGED-ANTIFA show their faces — or they usually wear masks... SAME THING. ABSOLUTELY NO WEAPONS, SPRAYS — ANY OF THAT SHIT. Just the two hands God gave ya.

But I'll fully enunciate that this is not a violent or protestful event — this is purely a 100% voice based meeting held in a public place — there will be no electronic equipment used to extend the range of voices — other than the camera workers who may be present. (Who will also need protection from these unhinged criminal leftists.)

Police if you're reading this, please don't show up at my house — call me. Literally there should BE NO ISSUE with an event like this in our "free and fair" democracy, okay? Just like minded people gathering in public to talk about cool stuff and they're gonna bring their buddies so we don't get beat up by mobs of people! Cool? Cool?

Alright ladies and gentlemen, Make Toronto Great Again — Restore Toronto the Good and VOTE JOSH THOMPSON. Amen and Godbless to ya's!

Pray for me

I told myself I wasn't going to smoke weed and drink coffee today because it gives me legitimate panic attacks — but I wanted to be sharp for tonight. Anyways I am stoned and very caffeinated and IM PANICKING-SHAKING because I truly realize I have a chance at winning this thing and I am supposed to be the one responsible, and that idea TERRIFIES ME! Like WTF, you people are serious about supporting me, you are seriously willing to get behind this thing — and I am some 27 year old REGARD that can't help but jerk off and smoke weed before what could be one of THE BIGGEST EVENTS OF MY LIFE!!!

Pray for me Ladies and Gentlemen — I may be a little stoned on the devil's lettuce right now, but I believe God can right this ship and steer us to where we need to go.

I find it endearing that Chris Alexander completed his statement enunciating on "Violent Crime" while I was on the stage considering that was the key issue me and him discussed last week.

Do not fear hatred, fear ignorance

Raphael, The School of Athens — philosophers gathered in discourse

We should normalize hatred. It is natural to feel this way from time to time. It should be respected and dealt with accordingly. The way to deal with hatred is not by passing laws and making slogans about how "bad" it is, but by embracing it and trying to understand where it is coming from.

I don't think hate is a bad thing. I think it is a perfectly normal human response. However, like with anything, there must be moderation. Too much of anything can spill out and cause you to lose control and be possessed by that thing. We must take control of our own lives and destinies and rule ourselves with discipline.

We do not defeat chaos by outright banning it. We defeat chaos by understanding it and manipulating it to serve our will as self-actualized human beings.

Do not fear hatred, fear ignorance.

I WILL BE VINDICATED

Websites getting a BIG upgrade... they think they can censor me because they "own a private platform" - well then, we'll see about that...

I WILL BE VINDICATED!!!!!!!!!!!!
WATCH ME

Some may call me a fool, maybe I am. But that's not going to stop me from walking this path. For I know that if the fool would only continue in his follie that he would become wise. Before beginning this campaign; I did not have a website, I did not make videos involving others, I was not working with teams of people producing content- and I was not examining myself like I am right now. I will accrue more wisdom acting a fool, than you will accrue being a fool acting wise. That I know.

What does Canada stand to gain by remaining its own country separate from The United States?
nice for what?
To this nigga?

I am 100% that Nigga

Canada is a fake country

Canada is a fake country, held up by old-world propaganda, now lining up with China to spite the U.S.—the greatest and freest country on earth, a real blessing and boom. Whatever this place is, it's evil and has been run by greedy fools from the start. Canada exists only because America tolerates it. We treat that niceness as weakness. They should have finished the job earlier. Look at us now. The U.S. economy is 13× ours and still half-respects its citizens' rights. Per capita it's more than double. By the time we catch where they are now—100, maybe 150 years—they'll be colonizing planets. We'll be the sore dead weight that made it harder and opened a weak flank for China. I saw this at six, twenty years ago. I knew what Canada and China were doing. It's arriving on schedule. I'm not surp…

The mature move is to admit you lost the country. You didn't act in time. Even the loudest pushback is too little, too late. A thousand times the bodies—pride-parade scale, the whole country—wouldn't be enough. This had to be fought before WWII, not 50 years ago, not 80. There was never a real independent vision.

Canada isn't independent. We belong to the British Crown. We didn't even have our own flag until the seventies. Fake country. Slave colony. The longer we pretend we're a nation for globalists, the more we become slaves. What do we get? A weak point China can use, because we've been draining brains and selecting for stupidity for a century. "Canada first" is a joke.

I hope America annexes us sooner rather than later....

Met Brad Bradford and Chris Alexander

Lel, I met Brad Bradford and Chris Alexander tonight- Low key mogged Brad, but Chris was also a mogger and he has quite nice blue eyes and a good heart. It's going to hurt my heart just as much as it will hurt their crushing their little dreams this election- almost as much as it's going to hurt Olivia Chows heart when she loses her job come October 26th! Anyways, it's been a long day and I have a lot of work to do tomorrow. Take care everyone, I love you!

Wow! That was a blast, got some really good public speaking footage downtown, the people sitting on the benches seemed to really enjoy it lol- People really do want to TAKE BACK their city! I'm a comedian, but it's no joke! They just want a real democratic candidate they feel like they can put their weight behind and for the love of God- I intend to give them one!

Electric Island

What's up gamers and gays- I took a night off the campaign last night to go look at that Electric Island music festival- total waste of money, the music was demonic, everyone there was held hostage by it. No one was having fun and it looked like shit. They ended it at 10:30 😂😂😂😂. You people call that a party? My God, I feel more sorry for these masses of people in their celebration than I do in their mourning of their fell city state. Shameful. Don't waste your time "going out" in this city, it's a total waste of your time and energy, put your energy (and money) that you would spend on that nonsense and spend it on overthrowing this corrupt regime.

This absolute FREIGHT TRAIN

It's late, but I'm still up- calculating, necessitating, quantifying what it is that must be done. No other political candidate in this race is operating at the speed and velocity I am, they may have their political machines and the apparatus around them- but they do not have the sheer ingenuity and genius it truly takes to run a city and command a people. VOTE JOSH THOMPSON- MAKE TORONTO GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE!

I resent the fact that there are those who do not take my political campaigning seriously, merely because I have controversial views and am a comedian. As far as I'm concerned when the country and political leadership becomes an ABSOLUTE circus like it is, then the clown is to become the one in charge- such is the order of these things. Go look at Brad the cucktrolled Opposition Bradfords instagram, Go look at Bolivia Chows- Nothing they're doing is POPPING like mine- and you can even see them lying to cop my swag a little with Olivia's recent "tough on crime" commie pose post- they're watching what we're doing and trying to cop a fraction of what we got, but truth is- once they figure out what I'm on, I'll already be on the next thing. These PATHETIC candidates who can't even get more than 30% of eligible voters out to vote SHOULD BE SHAKING IN THEIR BOOTS, FRITTERING, FRITTERING I SAY!! Asking themselves, HOW THE FUCK, are we going to stop this absolute FREIGHT TRAIN...

That is the Josh Thompson Campaign!

On some real shit

By now I'm sure you've all seen the first clip from Grange Park I posted today. We have like 2 hours of footage, just uploaded a 45 minute edit to YouTube, let me know what you guys think of my editing! Enjoy 45 minutes of pure unadulterated misogynistic banter!

CHANGE MY MIND: WOMEN SHOULD NOT VOTE. Couple tidbits from a new series I'm doing as part of my mayoral campaign. I'll upload a fuller longer version on my YouTube so go subscribe and check that out. But yeah women should not vote, I went to Grange Park and held it down like that because I'm a real niqqa.

NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE SQUEAKY WHEELS BRAD. Forget the 45 other candidates on the list. VOTE JOSH THOMPSON.

I don't have much money

It costs money to print. I'm not going to spend that much money. I don't have much money, so I had to just go get a sign.

I'm on welfare. So I welfare max. That is the truth of it. Stripe is at zero. Last look at the campaign account was $2.74. Cash is basically gone.

If you live in Ontario and you are an individual, not a company, you can give. Card or Interac. $26 is the cheapest line that actually gets the City rebate. Max is $2500. Interac is donate.josh@proton.me. Or go to https://joshthompsonformayor.ca/donate.

I am not going to change this by smelling the daisies. We are going to have to do some crazy and drastic shit. That costs something.

Vote Josh Thompson.

Today is a red letter day

Yeah, so here we are, today at Grange, Grange Park day, Sunday the 30th of August. The summer's coming to an end and we are beginning our campaign. Today is a special day. Today is a red letter day. We are going to beginning our Change My Mind series for the Josh Thompson campaign and we're going to be stirring up a little bit of drama, we're going to see what kind of conversations we can get into here at Grange Park.

They said this is literally my Achilles heel. I think it's my boon. I think it's my number one. That's why it's on the sign. It's like David versus Goliath bro. It's my slingshot. I'm telling you it's going to work. Vote Josh Thompson.

I feel like this is a coherent worldview

I think the Muslims low key are okay with being deported, they want to see white people win- as long as we let them win in their home, they'll let us win in ours and we will make space for each other. Apparently not all Muslims want to supplant white people in their home nations, I think that is beautiful, we should offer them the same courtesies.

Now in saying that I don't support Israel's Annexation of Gaza but I'm not going to blame the Jews, rather the leadership and military itself. I feel like this is a coherent worldview. Make Canada Great, Make Israel Great, Make Iran Great, Make America Great! The tribes of Noah needn't wage conflict against one another to appease God. Rather find common ground and brothership. Then we can celebrate what makes us different and celebrate what makes us the same.

They might call us traitors

They might call us traitors, but the real traitors are the criminals who robbed us of this country and would turn us against each other in the first place. We have always loved America, and in a sense Canada has always been an extension of America. The main distinguishing factor being that we did not FIGHT for our INDEPENDENCE, and thus live under a crown till this very day. American technology, media, money, hell for fucks sakes, has fueled every aspect of ALL of our lives since any of us can remember. So why turn to bite the hand that feeds now?

If Canada joins America, that doesn't stop Toronto from being hella based and Epic, it just makes it way better, so we can be more easily connected with our brother cities, like New York and Los Angeles, which tbh is a weird name for a city but it is beautiful. Imagine being able to travel to the City of Angels, or travel to any city over there without a visa. Imagine the new opportunities. You could get a better job. It might transform your life. The Thompson Campaign is a strictly 51st endorser and believes in the unification of a Greater North America.

The right man in the wrong place can make ALL of the DIFFERENCE in THE WORLD, so gather around my people, gather around and SMELL THE ASHES. I hate to disturb you innocent people, and no one in the world is more deserving of a rest than patriots such as yourselves, but your time has come again, to water the tree of LIBERTY. So wake up. WAKE UP MY PEOPLE. For the time for the battle has arrived. Spread the word of Josh Thompson's candidacy. Let the world know I INTEND TO DEFEAT MY POLITICAL OPPONENT OLIVIA CHOW.

Olivia Chow is running this city like a corrupt regime, and that den of crooks is scared of US justice finally making its way past the border, the border that divides us like west and east Berlin. Canada doesn't belong as a country if it is not a part of the United States of America. We have garnered too many conflicting interests. The Chinese are now using us to form a land bridge to assault America. I am a true patriot of Freedom and liberty everywhere, and I will stand with America until death.

We're actually doing this

I was a comedian. People told me to run for mayor of Toronto. I thought they were joking. Then I sat with it. Then I filed. So this is the first of these notes, because if I am going to ask this city to take me seriously I should probably write it down.

I live here. I walk out the door and I can feel it. People look tired. The street does not feel like it belongs to the people paying for it. Everybody is a little braced, like they are waiting for the next thing to go wrong. I do not have a twenty-year speech about that. I have eyes. I have a mouth. I showed up.

A mayor has to walk into a room full of strangers and make them listen. I have been doing that for years. The room got bigger. The job is the same. I am going to say what I think. I am going to make jokes. I am going to piss people off. I am going to listen when I am wrong. And I am going to fight for this city because I live in it.

Polished candidates have had years. Look around. This is me, writing it on a Wednesday, because we are actually doing this.
