Not so much as a breath in last night's debate about the increasing marginalizing of women, BIPOC, or LGBTQIA+ folks. The threat from the US isn't just economic, it's social. People are gonna lose their jobs, their healthcare, and die because of fascism. They already are in the States. Fuming.

While I admire the journalists running after Pierre Poilievre's campaign, he is actively hindering them from doing their job. If the CPC doesn't want their campaign to be covered, then the media should stop trying. At least until the CPC allow media back in. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia #TeamCanada #ElbowUp
