Progressive Conservative Premier meets with Progressive Conservative Prime Minister
Thanks for the breakfast meeting, Premier Ford — and for standing up for Ontario.
We’ve got a big fight ahead of us, and we’ll be working together every step of the way. We’re strongest when we’re united.

It's not the first time Shopify has powered stores selling items with Swastikas. I've reached out to them about this before, and they kept powering the stores.
The only thing they changed, eventually, was their rules.

🚨!!! Canada's prime minister just got caught on a hot mic. What he said is, um, chilling.
Justin Trudeau thinks Trump's threat of annexing Canada is "very real" and is linked to our country's natural resources.
But even if Trump wants to absorb Canada, *can* he do it?

The United States, to hear some tell it, is currently experiencing a “plutocratic coup.”
Its democracy is in decline, reports have warned.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre spent Monday evening at his $1,750-per-plate fundraiser hosted at a mansion so large it has its own postal code.

Yeah, looks like he profits from privatized healthcare facilities in the United States.

Extremists are getting organized in the United States, Canada and Europe.
With his recent pardons, Trump sent them a message: loyalty to him washes away all sins.
