"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

There’s a summer COVID surge called the “nimbus variant.” I don’t know who comes up with these names, but if you’re sick, please stay home.
Razor‑blade throat: standout symptom—feeling like razor blades or broken glass. It’s often extremely painful when swallowing.

That's enough food to feed more than a million people in the world's poorest countries for three months — including over 480,000 kids.

This clown has campaigned on the idea that "Canada is broken" since the convoy, yet failed to prepare a detailed platform until just days before the election.

The only reason we haven't heard more about this lately is because of the election. If PP wins, the US likely WILL attempt to annex Canada, and conservatives will not defend us.

Almost all my political positions align better with the NDP than with the Liberals, but as a grown up, I am able to understand the severity of this election. An election that would not have had to be such an emergency had Singh not put his personal ambitions above Canada 🇨🇦.

I don't see how the polls in Canada could possibly be tightening.
Mark Carney isn't only the best choice in this election, he's the only choice. With what we're facing we need his calm and his economic expertise.
Vote! And don't be a knucklehead.

Dear Canada:
That asshole in the WH hasn’t stopped calling you the 51st state because he has given up his expansionists ambitions.
He stopped saying it because Poilievre begged him to chill during the election.
If you want Canada to stay Canadian,vote Liberal. You can deal with policy differences
