Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets. They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us. Pay attention.

An excellent summary of the Universal Ostrich Farm’s attempt to save its birds. The outbreak occurs after the flouting of infection control and regulations. A cull order is delayed for 10 months through a legal challenge and ends with the government doing its work. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...

In 2017, two developmental psychologists wrote to The New York Times arguing that comparing Trump to a child is unfair—to children. They asserted that most children show more honesty, empathy, and self-control than Trump.

Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated? That wasn’t funny. It was scary.

When a leader & party tell you who they are, believe them Poilievre's CPC are suppressing the press unless CPC1 can control who asks questions w/ no follow ups. Anyone who thinks this will improve if elected is sadly mistaken. There will be zero transparency. PoiLIEvre is Harper 2.0 on steroids.

No matter what polls say, this Canadian election could be VERY close. Don’t be overconfident, apathetic, or unstrategic, like too many were in the United States. Look how that turned out for them. And for the world. TURNOUT WINS ELECTIONS. 2 more advance voting days. Make Mark Carney our PM.
Current polls suggest support for the conservatives and liberals when combined, is likely to breach 80% of the vote in what many consider the most consequential election of their lifetime.” #VOTE

Fun fact: in Saanich—Gulf Islands, we have had nearly 2,000 new Liberals sign up. Our riding was among the largest voting polls to elect Mark Carney as Liberal Leader. Our campaign is one of the top campaigns for door-knocking and phone banking in Canada. We have the most declared signs across SGI.
