My response to almost everything coming from the US since yesterday.
And they wonder why tourism is dropping. It is not safe for Canadians in the US.
Road rage: “Never come back to the US again!” US customs and border protection agent chases and harasses a Canadian driver.

Regardless of the judgment to be rendered in today’s London hockey trial, if the NHL allows any of those young men to play again, one will never watch another league game, ever.
Imagine placing those thugs in the position of role models for 🇨🇦kids.

So, about this quick fact, #ableg – the document describing the decision to Congress "cites scientific studies that are unpublished or under dispute and mischaracterizes others."

I am a sucker for the pomp and ceremony around Throne Speeches and what it represents as a constitutional monarchy and Westminster Parliamentary system. And the one by King Charles III had the pomp on steroids. But the content, delivery, and occasion was absolutely essential.

Don’t believe the neofascists’ lies about who started the media ‘altercations’ leading to cancellation of the post-debate leaders’ scrum. It was Ezra Levant’s Rebel Media’s attempt at crashing the CBC’s TV set mid-broadcast.

The hijacking of the press conferences by right wing propagandists, at the leaders debates, tells you all you need to know about electing Poilievre.
He's already promised to limit access to legitimate news by defunding #CBC but is happy to answer Rebel Media questions.

Let’s be clear, what Poilievre is proposing - using the notwithstanding clause to change criminal justice in Canada- IS a step towards authoritarianism. All other things aside, even this alone utterly disqualifies Poilievre as a wannabe tyrant.

Why would any Canadian travel to the US? This is terrifying.
Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.
