Little PP tries to desperately distance himself from Trump and MAGA but it’s not working or one bit believable! Look at all of his MAGA connections and those that endorse him! PP IS Maple 🍁 MAGA!

The Pierre Poilievre-MAGA Connection - Apr 5, 2025

A CBC journalist said there's no connection between Pierre and MAGA, so I did her job for her.

So basically, since 2017, the only thing that has been "defunded" in the City of #Vancouver has been its capacity to vote + hold elections? #vanpoli
The city has gotten back to me!

They confirm the city clerk (and chief electoral officer for this byelection) gave incorrect information to councillors multiple times about staffing for this byelection.

It is only a 62% reduction in staff compared to the 2017 byelection.

Not 80%.

As you were!
A further, and somewhat odd update for folks:

- The city emailed me, claiming it is *only* a 62% reduction in staff, and asked where I got my info from

- I told them I got it from the city clerk when she briefed city council, where she said it two times

So we'll see what they say

It’s not surprising that Smith read the room wrong on this again.

That’s what happens when you listen more to Trump supporters than Albertans.

And when you’re always acting in your own interests, not Alberta’s or Canada’s.

#AnaPoilievre is very much part of the #DarkMoney flowing to PP. She has “initiatives” & merch sales, where there is no accountability of where the money goes & where it’s from. But there are clues from time to time.
Her latest scheme doesn’t even have a website, but gets ‘help’ from #Shopify.

Stephen Harper has worst economic records in Cdn pw history. He begged Mark Carney to help him fix his mess. Carney said NO to Maple MAGA. Carney is world's best economist, the only non-Brit hired to head BOE & best PM for war w/US.

Republicans are bending over backward to dodge the truth—Putin invaded Ukraine, and Putin is the dictator.

Bravo to Democrats who take the Fox News hot seat and keep it real in a sea of lies.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

The shipping industry is carbon-intensive, accounting for about 3% of global emissions. Now, a new 136-meter-long vessel has been fitted with two 76-meter solid carbon sails that promise to cut emissions by about 80%.
