Ross Column: If this was anybody else — involving any other political party — these guys would be screaming about “waste, fraud and abuse,” demanding a full reimbursement to taxpayers, and calling for a police investigation. buff.ly/v5pBiYP
Poilievre seeking a safe seat in Alberta puts the lie to the idea that he is the guy to broaden the appeal of the party. Can't win in a seat he has held for two decades... and clearly believes he can't win anywhere other than the hotbed of grievance Conservatism. It sends a hell of a signal.
Here’s a no-brainer going forward in Canada — change the law so that anyone seeking to be leader of a National Political Party should be specifically required to submit for and successfully receive top secret security clearance.
Call it the Poilievre Bill.
I bet PM Carney has an awesome collection of hockey jerseys!
I'm jealous!
Now we just have to bring the Stanley Cup back to where it truly belongs!
Canada Strong! 🇨🇦
This might fly under the radar in the initial coverage of the Liberal platform, but seems relevant to the larger discussion about Canada's response to events in the United States.
The Liberals are attaching $25 million per year over the next four years to this promise.
5000+ door knocks & phone calls today, thanks to these awesome volunteers & many others already out at the doors - including Regional Councillor Joe Li #CanadaStrong#ProvenToWork#ScarbTO
Rt. Hon. Jean Chrétien: “When I was Prime Minister, we faced difficult decisions, but by working together and staying focused on building a more prosperous country, we built a stronger Canada.
And that’s exactly what Mark Carney will do.”
Pierre Poilievre admitting in the debate that he's going to suspend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms so he can defend the charter rights of the people he deems to be worthy should terrify everyone.
Seeing what's happening in the US with ICE he wants the same thing in Canada
And that, as they say, is the Tweet, “The charter of rights and freedoms exists to protect Canadians from people like us on stage, politicians who may use their power to override fundamental rights.
The issue is not where you start, but where you stop".

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?"
Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’”
“I’M PISSED!”
Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.
If Canada lets a knowledgeable candidate like Carney slip through our fingers, in favour of an idiot like Poilievre, we will have proven that we're no better than our neighbours to the south

He really did. Imagine saying, out loud, at a presser, that someone’s biological clock is ticking its way to senility before they’ll be able to “buy a home.”
Poilièvre is an entire ass.
Do you believe in women’s rights to the reproductive care they wish? Do you believe in a well-funded public health care system (not private health care)? Do you support MAID and support dying with dignity for Canadians? Note that the Conservative National Party does not.
