The Conservative Party Has a Violence Problem
When former Con MP Chris d’Entremont crossed the floor to join the Liberals, he didn’t just change parties — he unleashed a fury that says more about today’s Con movement than about him. Within hours, he was getting death threats. #cdnpoli

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.
Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.
Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

One might suggest to the prime minister that neither the efficiency nor the services of the CBC or Via Rail would be in any way improved by the purchase of $20 billion worth of F-35 jets, so we could start with the cuts right there.

Personally, my boycott will stay irrespective of their tariffs. They have attacked & threatened Canada and continue to do so daily. And about half their country thinks that's just fine. So, tariffs or no tariffs, I'm done with them, at every level.
