Donald Trump's wildly inappropriate reaction to this (quite impressive) piece of Reaganite advertising ought to cause so many people to view the ad he doesn't want them to see that we'll have to rename the Streisand Effect the Ontario Effect.
Ontario launches the perfect ad. Canadians are true brothers 💙🇨🇦

these “divisive issues” are always like, “would Jesus want us to round up poor immigrants, tear them away from their children and throw them in camps,” and it’s really hard to read the Bible and come to any conclusion other than “no, seems like not”
As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”
As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’
Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

A so called Christian Nation is actually "anti-Christ."
Why?
Because political power is incompatible with the Jesus Way.
The Jesus Way rejects violence, exclusion, and force.
The Jesus Way is the way of the Beatitudes
The Jesus way can never be enforced, only embodied.

It's pretty fucked up that Pierre Poilievre refuses to take any questions from the CBC - but Mark Carney will answer questions from shit news outlets like the Western Standard.
Pierre Poilievre supporters defend PP's media censorship. If he gets into power it WILL only get worse.

I have a massive trade deficit with Le Croissant, a lovely French bakery here in Winnipeg. Next time I'm in there I'm going to slap a 25% tariff on them, and make myself pay 25% more for my croissant and coffee.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

It’s stunning how the Executive Producer acknowledges she knows the hate Rachel has to deal with, but says CTV — a large news organization — doesn’t have the “bandwidth” to deal with it, so cuts ties with Rachel and continues to leave her to deal with it on her own. Shameful isn’t even the word.

Don't have the bandwidth to deal with backlash to fact-checking? That's literally the job of a journalistic organization. If there was any question left who pulls the executive's strings at CTV, they showed their whole (CPC) ass here.
