Every time that ReRun Poilièvre complains about us not having a deal yet with the USA is a time that he is essentially begging to know why it is that Mark Carney has not yet caved in to Trump's demands, as Pierre would have.

YOU DON'T SIGN A BAD DEAL.

(But Pierre would)

1. That which @PierrePoilièvre is "promising" to do is unnecessary as our laws already provide for that remedy/recourse.

This the very definition of "the cult for action for action's sake" (number three on the list of common features of fascism)

Trump calling Putin BEFORE his meeting with Zelenskyy should tell you everything you need to know about how the U.S. no longer thinks for itself.

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

Year-end news to celebrate! The video game sector is sorely in need of more unionization: work is precarious, conditions are rough and AI is an existential threat in this sector.

Congrats @cwacanada1.bsky.social and the groundbreaking workers in Halifax. Level unlocked.

About 60 workers in Halifax office voted in favour of unionizing amid concerns about AI and industry-wide layoffs.

Considering how often Butters Lilley is "OUTRAGED!!!" by Liberals/progressives merely existing, you'd think he'd manage more "passion" WHEN HUMAN BEINGS DIE on "conservative watch".

But nooope!

Absolutely!

I expect that there will be more than one who -- if Pierre secures the leadership review -- would just throw up their hands and say: "I just can't do another three years with this fothermucker" and either cross the floor or start prepping their exit from federal politics altogether
Got to thinking about 2026. Especially the CPC leadership review. Thinking there's quite possibly at least one more CPC MP who's unhappy with Poilievre. Thinking, if delegates elect him leader again, another CPC MP could cross the floor. Give the Liberals a majority.

A real conundrum. For the CPC.
December 28, 2025 at 5:16 PM
Pierre would be a terrible PM because, just like Trump, whenever he says: "Canada First", what he really means is: "ME First".
@paulysworld2005.bsky.social recounts a moment with a former Pierre Poilievre staffer at a hockey game that says a lot: Poilievre doesn’t call to see how you’re doing — only when it benefits him.
