Career 'never had a real job in his entire life' politician Pierre Poilievre with his tax payer funded gold plated pension by age 30 and his taxpayer funded homes, cars, chauffeurs, cooks, gardeners, suits, botox injections, contact lenses and manure patch re-elections.. detests 'socialism.'

I'm ashamed that Poilievre is Canadian

Meanwhile the leader of the Conservative Party, a man who does not care one iota for international law, is taking a victory lap, declaring “Down with Socialism” and echoing US lies about “narco-terrorism.”

He’s previously said the Nazis were in fact socialists, not fascists.

Exceedingly shrewd piece in the Star by Shannon Gormley on Moldova's success in preserving its independence, through two elections and a referendum, in the face of massive Russian campaigns of intimidation and manipulation.

Shannon Gormley: The Russians are coming, but not for Moldova. Here’s what the tiny nation can teach us about protecting our sovereignty
Even setting aside several tens of thousands of dead Ukrainians, Russia’s broader hybrid war against Europe is getting pretty hot.

An outsiders view, on #ChurchofEngland, the failure to take a stand in the early 90s on women in the priesthood created a rift, more currently seen as an inability to address all those made on God's image, #lgbtq. So scandals not Christianity are the issue www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/202...
Ailing and failing: the Church of England has lost its way

In 2025, one of the first steps we took as Canada’s new government was to cut taxes for the middle class.

This year, millions of Canadians will benefit — helping you keep more of your hard-earned paycheques.

Addiction doesn’t stay where it starts.
And choice doesn’t survive what comes next.
When people say, “They chose this,” I want to ask a different question....

What do you think they were choosing?

Not victims, give your head a shake and be grateful
I wonder how someone with so many advantages and so much privilege and such a comfortable seat at the table, still manages to feel oppressed, still imagines they are marginalized, still feels perpetually under siege by a world that has always favored them.
