Since the 90s at least, left wing parties have become forms of expression for intellectual elites. This may explain the decline of such parties and the rise of right wing populism.

When the Orange Menace threatened our sovereignty, our culture, our French language - that really pissed me off. Quebec is a wonderful, almost magical place to travel to. You can't afford to travel to Europe, take a trip to Quebec. The scenery, the food & the people are amazing. Quebec is Canada.

Canadian boycotts should get bigger before August 19th. We need to hit America where it hurts…. There is no reason why we need to go to an American fast food chain. The orange president loves his MC Donald’s. Let support local and eat at Canadian restaurants. BOYCOTT AMERICAN FAST FOOD!

It’s not the question that should bother you. It’s why they’re asking it now. Theresa Tam has already testified before parliamentary committees more than 20 times since 2020. So if this isn’t about getting answers, what is it about?

So either Councilor Leiper knew and also said nothing, or that city officials kept the report from council. Did Mayor Sutcliffe know by April 4th or not? In either case he shouldn't be Mayor any longer.
