Curious…

They chose an unmitigated asshole as leader. He spent 20 years being an unmitigated asshole. Said leader then dialled up the level of asshole to 10 for a few years.
He kept the assholery up throughout the campaign.
And the CPC have concluded ‘maybe he needs to max out at level 8 asshole’

Did’ya notice how, at his press conference today, Prime Minister Carney treated the media with respect and occasional flashes of good humour?
No chomping on apples, no answering questions with questions, no attempts to humiliate the questioner, no impugning of the media organisation asking?

I’m a recent doctor transplant from the U.S. to Canada.

The decline of medical ethics in the U.S. has devastated young American physicians who still believe medicine should help people.

Now’s an ideal time to recruit them to Canada. Let’s go! 🇨🇦

Her Machiavellian move was pretty bad.
Freeland’s Machiavellian move on Trudeau was resoundingly renounced and that’s a good thing. I hope she has no role going forward. Only 8% of the party likes her after 9 years #cdnpoli

"A man who worships at the alter of Donald Trump, will kneel before him".

Mark Carney speaking about Pierre Poilievre.

Pierre Poilievre, this man has you pegged, more than any John, Dick, or Harry ever has before.

Getting awful tired of seeing PMJT being called a lame duck. He's got more done since he announced he was stepping down than in the last years of the HoC being hobbled by silly games. I don't know what the right term is for someone going out in a blaze of glory, but there's nothing lame about it.

Justin Trudeau's Party has made a remarkable turnaround in the polls and is now on track to win the Canadian election.
With the new leader of the Liberal Party and future Prime Minister Mark Carney, this country is in good hands.

Most people don't know that Elon Musk endorsed Pierre Poilievre for Prime Minister. That's the Kiss of Death.

Musk’s approval of Poilievre good for Conservatives, but may not sit well for others, say pollsters and strategists

Canada may not be for sale, but we sure as hell know Doug Ford is:

1) wealthy developers were promised Greenbelt
2) Ont Place gifted to Therme Spa & a publicly funded $700M garage
3) private surgical clinics which cost us 20-40% higher fees
4) gamblers, drivers, drinkers

Something my boss just said to me, he said if you think Poilievre will help Canadians, be very careful, the policies he is promoting will be exactly like the felons in the US.

If you think PoiLIEvre would not do the same here, you are in for a rude awakening. Vote for democracy over fascism.🍁
