Bonnie Critchley doesn’t miss a thing! Not only does she know a lot about her neighbours, she also knows a lot about how Poilievre operates. This is her statement about Poilievre who sounds desperate & up to his old tricks again! #cdnpoli

How's this for a hard-core, fact-based summary of the current priorities of the USA. The British class system that the American Revolution supposedly fought against, replaced by a simple hierarchy of life based on nothing but money. SHAME
Trump's tariffs, tax cuts, and austerity budget are a windfall for the super-rich at the expense of the poor.

Israel has become everything the country was established to stop. SHAME
64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving.
Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups.
Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.
