I gotta say, I’m sick of arguing with the right wing trolls on X, but arguing with the left wing trolls here on Bsky when I’m a fellow progressive is even worse. I’m taking a hiatus from this site. I’m not going to battle on two fronts as I have a life.

The great thing about a centrist party like the Liberals is that we can turn the steering wheel in both directions to navigate this great nation. The other parties’ wheels can only turn left or only right; you can’t steer a massive, dynamic ship with a locked steering wheel. 🇨🇦❤️‍🔥

Are they taking all this time to release the Epstein Files so they can redact every mention of Donald?

A friendly reminder about both trash IDU right wing parties on each side of the border: - Poilievre still needs his security clearance (he’s hiding something) - The Epstein Files still need to be released (Donald is in them)

As much as I despise Donald, I can’t stand Poilievre even more. There’s no excuse for any Canadian to be so stupid, toxic and cold-hearted.

LOL Poilievre thinks duck hunters and farmers need AR-15s. Cons will stop at nothing to make us more like MAGA Americans. Watching the platitudes Cons at all levels of govt are spewing is cringeworthy.

Does anyone believe Abacus or Angus Reid’s Kurli Snach (or whatever her name is) reporting that their polls show the Cons are ahead of the Libs? Even when their leader is reviled. The only 2 pollster outliers and they’re both Cons. Why does CBC give them the time of day?

The fact that Poilievre couldn’t even show a modicum of respect or dignity about Freeland leaving shows how unkind, mean-hearted, toxic and punitive this angry little man is. This isn’t PM or parliamentary material; he’s an undiplomatic, self-impressed boor with no principles.

Whatever Donald tears down will be rebuilt when he’s gone. Ballrooms, concrete-paved gardens and anything representing him will be torn down by the people brick by brick and kept as valuable souvenirs; reminders of “never again.”

A real-time fact checker would have a stroke and polygraph machine would explode if they were listening to Scheer earlier today on #PnPCBC with David Cochrane. And he lies with that creepy, tiny, Grinch-like, self-impressed, sweaty grin. He’s a cheap, toxic, unserious fiend.

Poilievre is the corporeal embodiment of grievance, anger, deception and hatred.  Pierre’s just not enough to be worthy of PM and he will never be enough, like his weak party that’s full of embarrassing garbage; just loud rage-gibbons in suits puppeteered by special interests.

Blue states that are sick to death of a monster fascist president should consider joining Canada. Our principles are aligned. Maybe the best way to “Make America Great Again” is to join and aspire with a country that doesn’t feel slavery, racism and homophobia are “great.”

It’s much, much too early in Donald’s term to need to deal with so much insanity. There’s three more years of this?? The Black Mirror trajectory line is surging so fast that I feel something very bad is going to happen quickly.

The Con Party paid for Scheer’s minivan, kids’ schooling, clothing, etc without telling party members. Did they do the same for Poilievre’s expenses this summer while he was going through his mulligan and wasn’t leader but still stayed in a govt mansion with all its trappings?

When communicating, Liberal politicians (the govt) need to stop intellectualising and start talking like people on the street about topics that are forefront in their lives. It’s the trick Cons use and we need to go straight for the jugular every time like they do.

Canada is going to quickly find out how beneficial it is to have a pragmatic Prime Minister who fixes, improves and builds as opposed to a rage-conjuring one with sledgehammer arms who only destroys.

PP Poilievre reminds me of Paris Hilton, certainly the criticism of her at the time: a does-nothing, has done nothing, but gets in the news and has a following. "Pierre Poilievre: the Paris Hilton of Canadian politics."

Hey Poilievere, you know who’s “useless as George Costanza”? You. Over 20 years in govt and not one accomplishment. Plus a lost seat and lost election as leader of your lying brigade of grievance Orcs. May your fields of rage-farming remain fallow, diseased & pestilence-ridden.

Even Con pundits today on TV are calling Poilievre an unserious clown who isn’t Prime Ministerial. He just can’t help himself. He can wear the lion suit but it keeps falling off to reveal the hyena underneath. Poilievre will never be Prime Minister of Canada.

Why are people still calling this MapleMAGA Conservative Party “Tories”? They haven’t been Tories since Peter MacKay sold them out to the IDU Con right wing movement under Harper. They should be called “Stories” instead of Tories because all they do is lie.

Don’t forget as Poilievre takes his makebelieve victory laps that the Liberals not only won the most seats, but also won the popular vote in the last election. Poilievre lost his seat and snuck back in via the safest Con seat in Canada after an MP stepped down.

After more than four months and a byelection since his April defeat, Pierre Poilievre has made one thing abundantly clear: his song will remain the same. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/03/o...

Pierre Poilievre hasn't learned a thing
The more things change, it seems, the more the leader of the official opposition stays the same. Will his party's members give him the chance to run the same failed political playbook again?

An economist on TV is saying youth unemployment is a symptom of a weak labour market as opposed to the temporary foreign worker program. But you can believe a paperboy who’s never had a job outside of politician for over 2 decades. Any lies to become relevant and create anger.

The typical destructive extremism of Poilievre: instead of tweaking and improving the TFW program that is beneficial to the economy and necessary (like giving priority to Canadian youth & summer students), he wants to completely destroy it. Slogans over intelligent restructuring.

Still no security clearance for Poilievre. When will the Cons tire of losing and not having an adult as leader? Are there adults left in that party or is it all petulant, angry children in suits with grievances?

Stephano Barberis 🍁 @hellostephano.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
Poilievre’s stance on TFWs is a prime example of how these new Cons aren’t pro-business/pro-economy Cons of the past; they’re right wing populists like Trump who try to appeal to angry, uniformed people with disinfo in the form of feel-good platitudes and “of the people” slogans.

Please tell me how Poilievre even knows what work is, let alone temporary work. He’s never had a job in his life other than suckling from the public teat as a politician who has ZERO achievements. If you’d like see someone who will never receive the Order Of Canada, look no further.

FACT: TFW’s are predominantly needed in agriculture, fisheries and trucking. There aren’t enough Canadians/kids to fill these jobs (or want these jobs). FACT: Poilievre, yesterday’s man, is a dangerous liar looking for another way to foment fear and anger so he can become relevant.
