🔴 WOW. 🔥🔥

This AD ⬇️ is the end of Poilievre. 🙂
The contrast is clear.
There is NO comparison. 🤷🏻‍♂️

"Mr. Poilievre would be a lost opportunity, and would leave us VERY vulnerable."

Steady hands and PROSPERITY. 🚀 🇨🇦 ✅

Saving the CBC isn't just about protecting your favourite program or personality. It's about preserving national unity -- and preventing Canada from being subject to a hostile foreign takeover. www.nationalobserver.com/2024/11/19/o...
Saving the CBC is really about saving Canada

To state the very obvious, this would put an avowed anti-vaxxer in charge of vaccines, allowing him to thwart the development and approval of life-saving shots. It's almost too horrific to fathom—a potential death sentence for our families and children. It's lethal. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

Why is the #misinformation spreading that Canada is crime infested?

Because scared people vote for strongmen and they want the false narrative to be baked in before the election.

We need to counter this now before it’s baked in.
