That's not true. Just being on X, reading tweets, is recorded activity that they use to set rates with advertisers. Having an account - and especially just the act of logging in - is giving money to Nazi Musk.

As a protest against politicians being in charge of election rules, the Longest Ballot folks are organizing to run 200 candidates in the by-election in which Poilievre will be running. They recently ran 91 candidates in Poilievre's previous riding.

Great example of the craziness in Ontario: Liberals somehow win Kitchener Conestoga, a rural Conservative stronghold. But Conservatives win Kitchener Centre, the urban riding previously held by the Greens, because of this split: CPC 34.3% GRN 33.6% LPC 29.2%

pretty sure they don't see the need to win more support they just need to splinter the left / sew division. If NDP/Greens were a few points ahead in the polls we'd be looking at a CPC majority this morning.

The Conservatives are booking anywhere from $3B-10B of additional revenue each year from economic-related growth. The average year sees an additional $6B+ in revenue, associated with 128bps in economic growth. This is a near doubling of TD Econ's growth forecasts.

CBC makes a strong point, if Poilievre follows through with killing the industry carbon tax, Canada will not comply with EU rules, making TRADE harder with Europe. So, when he talks about the industrial carbon tax and JOBS, the idea of blocking new trade in this environment looks reckless. #cdnpoli

I think this is a strong reason for the new PM to call for an election sooner than later on his (or her?) terms. After all no one questioned Ford “needing a mandate”. Even easier to justify when a fed elxn happening later this year anyway.

Even if we wanted to (we don’t), or were “economically pressured” to (we won’t be), we couldn’t give Canada to the US (legally). So they’d have to try to take it, which would require congress (not happening), and would turn every NATO country against them. #51stState
