If he wants to take the honourable route, fine. As long as he leaves. www.policymagazine.ca/poilievre-sh...
A government leader 3 terms into his tenure owes the electorate at least a basic understanding of treaty & constitutional rights. Anything less makes him grossly unfit for office.

I hear No Kings Day was a success. Ok all is forgiven America - we know you didn’t really mean to vote him in twice. And those 38% of your fellow citizens who still think Trump is just fine? That’s only a mistake too, right?
New Quinnipiac poll: Trump’s approval: Disapprove: 54% Approve: 38% Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill: 53% oppose 27% support Handling of immigration: 54% disapprove 43% approve

It turns out that the very best No Kings Day protest yesterday was the one staged by the United States Armed Forces in Washington—because if you've seen any of the military experts on social media or cable news today you know that their poor marching was deliberate and intended as an insult to Trump

a side note: this is as frontal an assault on the US by Israel as I've ever seen, and there have been some bad ones. This is Israel blowing up the planned negotiations in Oman tomorrow between the Trump envoy and Iran. This is Netanyahu saying the US can't do diplomacy he doesn't sign off on.
🚨 BREAKING: Israel strikes Iran

After repeatedly failing fact-checks year after year after year, the Toronto Sun is copy-pasting this 3 paragraph disclaimer to the end of their annual Tax Freedom Day write-ups acknowledging all of the Fraser Institute's numbers they just reported might be "incorrect and misleading":
The Toronto Sun acknowledges that the Fraser Institute’s ‘Tax Freedom Day’ may be ‘incorrect and misleading’ Experts say Tax Freedom Day is a ‘deeply flawed and highly misleading gimmick’
This was a really stupid outburst and a bad sign for the future of development. Really, really boneheaded. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

The line that "Easter Islanders cut down the last tree to move the giant statues" is an ugly lie — they were done in by Imperialism. But "Canadians built more pipelines so they could sell more oil while the country burned because of climate change brought on by burning oil" is the absolute truth.
The fact that Canadian leaders continue to have "Let's build more pipelines" conversations while Saskatchewan and Manitoba are being decimated by wildfires is just wild to me

When you look at the names appointed to cabinet today you see a list of serious people with deep experience. Now look at the front benches of the CPC. Until they can field a team of MPs who we can trust to do these jobs, they don't deserve power. open.substack.com/pub/wesleywa...

I never want to hear Americans lecture us ever again about the sanctity of their constitution and its checks and balances against tyranny. Because by any measure, it simply doesn’t work.

"Poilievre talked about the “lost Liberal decade.” But the period from 2015 to 2025 has been the lost Conservative decade, politically speaking. Zero for four." thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

‘Poilievre is doing what every fake populist does when reality hits: run to the safest bunker he can find.’ open.substack.com/pub/dannyip/...
Paul Wells, who wrote a fawning book on Harper and the infamous Maclean’s piece ‘The Resistance’ now says giving PP a break is the honourable thing to do. WTF would we do that? To hope he’s humbled? That he’ll be nice now? Ottawa punditry is so weird. open.substack.com/pub/paulwell...

Poilievre wanted to send cops to disperse encampments and arrest anyone too poor to afford rent, but meanwhile he is perfectly content to squat in a publicly-funded mansion, even *after* he lost the election.
Pierre Poilievre is living in a 19 room mansion with a $215,090 annual budget for his chef and groundskeepers. It is paid by the taxpayer for “Leader of the Opposition IN the House of Commons”. Pierre is freeloading on the taxpayer's dime. #stornowaysquatter #packtheshack
