Writing this, I am reminded that there’s one guy running in this election who tried to make it harder for folks to vote when he was the Minister responsible for the Elections Act.
It is easy and it really matters.
Make the best choice you can. Remind others. Help them get to their poll station if they need it.

The Conservative Party platform includes 4 mentions of women. 3 of those are related to an anti-trans policy.

That says everything that needs to be said about the Conservative Party and gender equity.

The federal leaders survived the French-language debate without major incident — for better or for worse.

The same can’t be said for the debate organizers, who absolutely shit the bed in an impressive number of ways.

That's why the scrums were a right-wing clown show.

Let’s talk about it all:

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.

The Convoy has always tried to portray itself as a spontaneous group of patriotic Canadians. In truth, while not a fine tuned operation, it has always been the result of a network of far-right grifters and influences that tried multiple times to get an operation like the ‘22 event off the ground.

“A Conservative government would put an end to the imposition of woke ideology…in the allocation of federal funds for university research.”

Where have I heard this rhetoric before? In which country has this rhetoric seized state power? How is that working out?
