Israel has declared the West Bank as part of Israel. This goes against international law.

Of course Poilievre is standing by a candidate who made despicable comments about Indigenous people.
When people show you who they really are, believe them.

Catching up on a few things I haven’t had a chance to clip yet — did you know Poilievre, speaking in French, called UNWRA terrorists and said he’d stop giving any funding to them????

Absolutely horrifying position given UNWRA’s integral role in providing humanitarian aid to the region.

The other clip I had wanted to share because it stood out to me, but I didn’t have time: Poilievre bragging about his rally sizes two days ago.

If he wants to avoid Trump comparisons, this isn’t the way to do it.

I'm heading out to the Sudbury Farmers Market today to ask Sudburians what they are looking for in this election. What do they want from their gov, and who they think will be the best candidate for Sudbury. Is there any other specific questions I should ask? 🤔

Great visit with Sudbury OSPCA today! New partnerships are in the works that will give students hands on skills for high-quality veterinary care. Thanks for everything you do to help our animals. 🐶 😽

Come back anytime Charlie, the people of Sudbury loved having you ! #elbowsup
The resistance tour in Sudbury was powerful.
People defied a wicked ice storm to fill the hall and send a clear message that we will fight for the north, we will fight for our country and we will defend our democracy from tyranny.

Liberation Day in France is June 6th.
But Canadians didn't celebrate until the job was done.
The criminal from Mar-A-Lago is selling his bogus "Liberation" Day.
Lol.
Canadians have another job to do.
We will celebrate when Donald is done.
And we will still be standing.
True. North. Strong. Free.

Grass roots efforts to ensure voter turn out in 2025 has never been more important than it is now. PP will be detrimental to the Canadian economy.
If there is any doubt Elon had anything to do with rigging the US election, doubt no more. He's coming after CANADA now. #HandCountTheVote

PP making theater out of our HoC has to be the most embarrassing thing in Canadian Politics right now #cndpoli
🇨🇦HEY, CANADA🇨🇦

Today in QP:

PP lied about the PM increasing rent.

Rent control is a provincial responsibility.

The PM called him out for stopping his own MPs from getting help.

Pierre lied about Paul Bernardo's release.

The PM called him out.

Bathrooms should be separated by pee and poo, not by gender. I will not be elaborating. (Mostly because I shouldn't need to)
Just so we’re clear, it’s extremely weird behavior to care who uses which bathroom (and all bathrooms should just be for anyone anyway)

The fact that it keeps getting worse despite the increase in public awareness, makes it all the more convincing that companies are what drive Fossil Fuel Emissions, they push and push and push, and manipulate to increase consumption and sales. They do not care.
Depressing: Fossil fuel emissions projected to be almost 8% higher in 2024 than in 2015, the year the Paris climate agreement was signed.
