Here’s Jamil Jivani admitting to neofascist Breitbart News that he went to Washington to toady to Trump and Vance and stab 🇨🇦Canada in the back for having a “hissy fit” about 🇺🇸USA aggression.
And petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre let him go do that.

So, petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre has an insurmountable problem.
He’s spent years building up his populist base.
But it’s just not enough to elect him Prime Minister.
And when the rest of us look at that base, all we see is:
1. Trump lovers
2. KuKluKonvoyers
3. Anti-vaxxers

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.

#American friends: please call /email/text your Democratic Reps. demand (bigly) that they do this 👇🏾 w/the publicly known survivors. Pictures can be current, or the age of their abuse, with their age from the time of their abuse. They should enter, place in seats then leave #USA #Epstein

The polling numbers are in:
71% of Albertawomen will vote no if there is an Alberta referendum.
81% of them said they would move away from Alberta.
That will leave Donbas Danielle and her petrostate frathouse of keyboard rage warriors.

The 🍁gun cult loves to trumpet claims that legal gun owners are the safest, most closely and continually vetted people in Canada.

The 🍁gun cult has been working hard for years now to normalize home gun cabinets like this one, posted on Facebook by the mother of the Tumbler Ridge shooter in August, 2024.

Go on Twitter any day of the week and find yourself a feed populated by members of the 🍁gun cult.
They’re ubiquitous and easy to find.
Sample their torrents of vitriol, hatred, paranoia and self-pity in the face of democratic efforts to tighten gun control in Canada.
Count the people.

Meant to point out, this👇🏻is the person Pierre Poilievre is running in the Prime Minister’s own riding.

Guess who Pierre Poilievre has running as his candidate in Nepean riding, just outside Ottawa?
This👇🏻hate-filled person who’s:
1. A police officer;
and
2. Now infamous for tweeting and then deleting a vicious dog whistle against the Prime Minister’s family.
Fully worthy of Trump.
She needs to go.

In which the Conservative Party of Canada proves again that it’s rife with virulent pustules of hate,
as its approved candidate for the riding of Nepean launches a vicious dog whistle against the Prime Minister’s family members.
Mr. O’Toole is correct - she should be ejected from ever running again.
