Pierre Poilievre is Big Oil’s useful idiot
With an inner circle stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s no wonder that Pierre Poilievre voted against the environment 400 times.

It's official: Alberta now has the lowest minimum wage in the country. 🏅
The minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2018, and Danielle Smith has no plans to change this.

And it got full support from Grifter Squatter Poilievre.
“The ‘Freedom Convoy’ was — without question — one of the low points for conservatism in Canada, and one of the most divisive and disturbing events in recent Canadian political history. Its goal was to overthrow a legally elected government, and Pierre Poilievre championed their cause.”
