I let my four-year-old stay up during the debates, and she drew this picture of Pierre Poilievre. Isn’t it cute? 🥰

People keep asking why far-right alternative media outlets got to ask so many questions

The reason, once again, is because Rebel threatened to go to court and get an injunction. The Debates Commission backed down and agreed to let Rebel have one person from each of its regional "divisions"
The Commission’s April 10, 2025, response to our April 9 demand regarding Rebel News Network Ltd. (“Rebel News”) and the 16 accredited journalists the Commission has confirmed for the Leaders’ Debates on April 16 and 17, 2025, fails to resolve our client’s legitimate grievances. Negotiations are at an impasse. The Commission’s insistence on capping Rebel News at one reporter and one photographer for the media scrum—while granting multiple slots to Postmedia, CBC/Radio-Canada, and other multi-division media organizations—reveals a starkly unfair and inconsistent policy that demands correction. The Commission’s “one reporter, one photographer per media organization” rule (April 8, p. 1; website) is a sham of equal treatment. Rebel News, spanning five divisions—Rebel News Canada (Ezra Levant/Efrain ‘Efron’ Flores-Monsanto), Quebec (Alexa Lavoie/Guillaume Roy), Ontario (David Menzies/Lincoln Jay), Prairie (Sheila Gunn Reid), British Columbia (Drea Humphrey)—is unjustly confined to a single entity (April 10, p. 1-2), while Postmedia (e.g., National Post, Ottawa Citizen, and others), CBC/Radio-Canada, Global News (with regional arms in 2021), and CTV (national and local divisions at the 2021 scrum) enjoy multiple slots (April 10, p. 1). The Commission dodges our demands for proof of past limits it claims to have applied to CBC or CTV, undermining its “plurality” assertion (April 10, p. 2)—this is a deliberate tilt against Rebel News, among many others we've easily identified through recent correspondence with the Commission. These rules reek of secrecy. When Rebel News applied on March 31, 2025, the Commission’s website offered a vague “media organization” definition—“produces original news content... or covers political, social and policy issues”—with no trace of the division-specific criteria the Commission now wields (April 10, p. 1). Rebel’s geographic (Quebec, Ontario) and linguistic (French, English) distinctions match those the Commission accepts for CBC/Radio-Canada, yet it imposes a retroactive standard—based on uniform letters—that was never disclosed. This smacks of the “complex and convoluted” tactics courts struck down in Rebel News v Canada, 2019 FC 1424 and 2022 FC 313, where Rebel secured multiple questioners by Court Order, thwarting the Commission’s predictable, recurring, and unrelenting unfairness. The Commission’s capacity claims are a shambles. It asserts “no numerical cap” on the scrum (April 10, p. 1), yet confines it to a press room capped at 135 (p. 2), with 60+ participants from 30+ organizations (p. 1). This contradicts the Commission’s earlier “capacity restrictions” warning (April 4, p. 1), and deferring “further details” (April 10, p. 3) invites the last-minute exclusion Rebel endured in 2019 and 2021. No “capacity” definition or enforcement plan clarifies this mess—our 2 million viewers face irreparable harm from the Commission’s opacity. Regrettably, it appears the Commission is choosing to continue to disregard the Court’s prior directives to uphold its democratic mandate, as ordered twice in 2019 and 2021. This is a flagrant breach of procedural fairness (Vavilov, 2019 SCC 65). The Commission’s July 2024 policy lacks the division-specific criteria it now enforces selectively, singling out Rebel News while bending for Postmedia, CBC, Global News, and CTV. We hereby demand, by 2:00 PM ET, April 11, 2025, written confirmation that one reporter and one photographer from each of Rebel News’ five divisions shall be permitted to attend, participate, and ask questions during the media scrum—on par with CBC, CTV, Postmedia, and other multi-divisional media RE: Rebel News Media Accreditation for the 45th General Election I am in receipt of your letter dated April 10, 2025. I disagree with your allegation that the Commission’s application of its one reporter and one photographer per media organization policy is unfair or inconsistent. However, rather than devote further resources towards answering your letters and a potential injunction, which is neither necessary nor in the public interest, I will permit Rebel News to have one reporter and one photographer from “each of Rebel News’ five divisions” participate in the scrum for the debates for the 45th general election. This is without prejudice to the position that the Commission would take in any litigation commenced by Rebel News in relation to the upcoming debates or for debates in a future election. I do not agree with your characterizations of my prior communications, including with respect to how the policy is being applied to other media organizations. Given the above, I do not consider it necessary to respond to those allegations, but my silence on them should not be interpreted as acquiescence. Questions by telephone were permitted in 2021 as a result of COVID-19 and will not be used for the upcoming debates. Sincerely,

What’s striking is that in their piece, the one that has Malcolm and her minions crowing, Sasha writes about the difficulty their trans friend had in getting the healthcare he needed. This kinda destroys the right’s pet thesis that it’s way too quick and easy to gender affirming care in the UK.

Look at how Trump gloated that Jill Biden glanced at him without expressing total disgust. Meanwhile, Laura Loomer is the only woman who looks at Trump as lustfully as Melania looks at Trudeau.

Trump is still jealous he got cucked by Trudeau. Look at Melania’s open body language, compared to Brigitte Macron shrinking away from even rubbing shoulders with Donald.

Let's all take a little trip down memory lane and remember how bloody awful our last conservative government was.
Don't expect any better under a Poilievre government.

“This so called teacher is obviously trying to make the left sound so much better than the right”

this man folded faster than wet cardboard
When my kids were younger and they brought home shit like this....I called the school. ••• I live in Conservative Alberta, but that didn't stop this from occasionally happening. Call the school. Request an appointment with the principal. Engagement does work. LEFT Opposition to support of the aristocracy, royalty or clerical interests. RIGHT The ancien régime ("Old Order"). "The Right" thus implied support for aristocratic, royal, or clerical interests. Communism. Fascism. Canada: Green Party, NDP. Canada: Conservatives. USA: Democrats. USA: Republicans. Rejecting the inequality that results from the free market. Accepting the inequality that results from a free market. Preference for a "larger" government. Preference for a "smaller" government. Equality of outcome. Equality of opportunity. A secular government. A religious government. Innovation is left. Conservatism. The idea that law dictates culture. The idea that culture dictates law. Support for national independence, autonomy and sovereignty, especially for smaller groups. Support only for established states and governments. Internationalism and cosmopolitan attitudes. National interests. Diplomacy. Military force. The idea that human nature and society are malleable. Read: "nurture". The idea that human nature and society are fixed. Read: "nature". The idea that human beings are naturally good. The idea that they are naturally flawed. Imagine being a social studies teacher and getting an angry call from a Conservative parent who doesn't even understand their own ideology, and then having to explain it to them Did it ever occur to you that I might be calling out the definition of the left? This so-called teacher is obviously trying to make the left sound so much better than the right. Next time, don't be such a pussy and debate me instead of shit-posting behind my back. It's a very accurate and unbiased version of both sides of the political spectrum. Care to explain which part you have an issue with? You had your chance earlier, but you chose to shit post instead of engaging constructively. I've given you too much attention already.
