Pierre Poilievre’s real problem isn’t that he is facing discontent from within his caucus; it’s that he’s losing support from important Conservatives from without.

Carney is more Chamberlain than de Gaulle. And Theo must’ve gotten high on Martin Regg Cohn’s supply, because Ford would 100 percent be Marshal Pétain.

I’m just not sure I trust that his wife will protect our oceans while her husband is building yet another crude oil pipeline towards those same oceans and expanding ports that will result in the extinction of our resident orcas! The whole thing feels a bit icky. I mean this clip….

In these challenging times, when Canada’s house is on fire, it does no good to complain about the man who’s emptying a Jerry can full of gasoline on the flames. Let Carney (let us) cook, and when things settle down we can talk about nice-to-haves like combatting climate change.

Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

Privatization wasn’t on the ballot when Canadians voted for Mark Carney. Really foul the way he’s using the blind trust so many continue to have in him to make massive, fundamental changes to Canada (hurting normal Canadians) so big companies can profit. Please pay attention.
