The Conservative Party has lost its way. It needs to stop mimicking the exact same US narratives and stop creating fear and using exaggeration to make a case for being in power. This is Canada. We are smarter and not easily fooled and we have the benefit of seeing what’s happening to the south.

What do we need? What do we want for ourselves?

Food. A home. Clean water. Love. A good, fair-paying job. Equal opportunity. Accessible health care. Free education. Reliable transportation. Community.

Chris Buskirk put tech elites in power in Trump’s Washington. His efforts are grounded in a controversial theory: An “aristocracy” is needed to move the country forward.

Is Canada Getting A Surprise Election For Christmas This Year?
I don't think so. But we might end up with one by accident. That would be a mistake.

This isn’t complicated. If an election happens, it will be because the opposition parties decided to cause one.
Would swing voters be happy that they made that choice? I have my doubts

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

I broke things down further here.

I'm starting to think we're wrong to even say that Trump's trade negotiations are getting "deals." They're not deals. They're the terms of other countries' economic capitulation. #giftlink

Canada is lucky not to have signed!
www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
Just look at where other countries have ended up. The United Kingdom thought it would gain an advantage by being the first to sign, acquiescing to 10 per cent across-the-board tariffs and a quota on its automobile exports. The Europe Union’s agreement, which even its members seem to hate, was even worse, imposing a 15 per cent tariff rate and a requirement that it buy USD $250 billion in American energy products per year. As for Japan and South Korea, they negotiated tariff rates ranging from 15 to 50 per cent, but were also expected to cough up huge sums of direct investment — USD $550 billion from Tokyo and USD $350 billion from Seoul. Trump claimed that the deal requires 90 per cent of the profit of that investment remain in America and said he would personally direct the capital. Trump’s shakedown was effective. French President Emmanuel Macron conceded as much when he declared last month that “to be free, you need to be feared. We were not feared enough.” Instead, they feared being left out — but as Trump himself wrote, showing fear “makes the other guy smell blood, and then you’re dead.”
