Any CPC MP who didn't know that Harper muzzled his MPs, staffers, scientists, Gov bureaucrats, burned books, attacked Democracy & our Charter & that Poilievre will do the same should stop whining & resign because they're not representing their constituents.

NO - I'm NOT mad, NOR should you be:
without multi-party support, there was absolutely nothing PM Trudeau could have done to fulfill an idealistic & unrealistic promise on our first-past-the-post voting system.
Imposing his choice unilaterally would have been *undemocratic*!

You shouldn't be mad at Justin Trudeau for going to see Taylor Swift, what you should be mad about is that he continues to uphold an undemocratic electoral system he promised to end.

If the Conservatives didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.
Karina Gould calls out CPC MPs & Poilievre on their hypocrisy about protesters.
"...when the convoy was here they cheered them on in of front of so many residents in Ottawa, prevented them from going to the hospital, grocery store, from ambulances arriving at homes."

It's pretty obvious that is the Conservative game. Same in provinces. They don't need qualified people to run for office, they need obedient people.

So CPC MLAs want to bring this oppression to the rest of Canadians. How Soviet & PRC minion of them. What are they so scared of? They might not get the nomination & have to get a real job in the real world. Pierre did learn well from his mentor. Pierre will screw them over anyways. #cdnpoli

Another example of why we need more mental health professionals to discuss Trump on media. Dr. Frank is a graduate of Harvard Medical School and a renowned psychotherapist, but any shrink could tell you this. And yet the media still discusses Trump in terms of what is normal.

We have fairly strict criteria for using the label MAGA and adding accounts to that blocklist. With that in mind, we've added a new label "Troll" and a blocklist associated with it. This will be a bit more catch all and subjective in how we assess inclusion, so please use at your own risk.

Alberta is a jurisdictional rectangle with a corner cut off. The only people that truly want more autonomy are members of C.A.P.P. so they can install their next generation of lobbyists in ministerial roles.
