Another concern about Poilievre's kneejerk "congratulations" to Trump: this isn't good news for Alberta oil, by all accounts, concerning. PP quickly backing a man trying to destroy OUR sovereignty and showing no awareness for the domestic consequence. He's a intellectual lightweight. #cdnpoli

Seeing armed criminals shooting at people indiscriminately in Venezuela is hard to watch. This poorly thought out invasion isn't going to end well... #cdnpoli

Musk has declared he will support MAGA across the board in 2026 to stop the "radical left". How can anyone stay on X,when they know he manipluates the feed, studies have shown it disproportionately pushes right wing content AND he's pouring millions into MAGA. FFs take a stand and leave. #cdnpoli

In 2026, Canada better get serious about the interference that will fuel separation sentiments across the country. If people don't think platforms and foreign elements aren't already amplifying and spreading disinformation, they're naive. Canada is threatened and we need laser focus. #cdnpoli

Listen, this is election interference and we're either going to stand against or be consumed by it, with AI emerging as an even more powerful disinformation tool. These stories deserve more attention, if platforms are abusing the system, they should be BANNED. Also fanning separatism. #cdnpoli
“A report by The New York Times revealed that third-party advertisers like Canada Proud ran disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. The Financial Times also exposed a coordinated campaign on X to support Pierre Poilievre and attack Carney’s reputation.”

CBC doesn't have to carry the orange madman live all the time. Why does this liar need to take up all the world's oxygen? Edit and give us what is relevant, nobody needs the inane ramblings of this horrible human being. #cdnpoli

After Texas banned abortion in cases where embryonic cardiac activity could be detected, Texas saw a 12.9% increase in infant deaths, compared with 1.8% for the rest of the country.
A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.
What researchers have discovered about maternal, infant health under Texas' abortion laws
In the more than four years since the state of Texas significantly restricted access to abortion, medical researchers have been studying the health effects of that policy change.

JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse.

I can't take the wilful ignorant media anymore "just what was the relationship with Epstein?" He was his fucking BEST friend for years, his wingman, his financial advisor, he introduced him to his wife, Epstein was at his wedding. His best friend was a PEDO and he knew it! #cdnpoli #epsteinfiles

Make sure to go to church this Christmas MAGA, and somehow compartmentalize that your leader was a sick pedophile's wingman, for YEARS. #epsteinfiles #maga #uspoli

I simply don't believe the new US GDP number today, that has stunned analysts. Maybe it's way above expectations because the numbers are BULLSHIT and we're now seeing Trump manipulate basic economic data. Amazing to hear people report it, without scrutiny. #trump #uspoli #cdnpoli

The media pundit class make me laugh with their Poilievre frames at this "convention" and what number he needs. The event is performative, he's manipulated the delegates, he's hosting it to avoid eastern representation, it's a sham. The number is baked in, don't legitimize it. #cdnpoli

If you've never seen "Actors on Actors", a quick synopsis of every episode:
"No, you're the greatest."
"No you're the greatest."
"I can't be the greatest because you are."
"You're so great for saying that."
"Has anyone told you you're pretty great"
"No you hang up"
"No you..."
🤮
