CPC: 
It's Lily with Team Poilievre and the Conservative Party.

Can we count on your support to stop the Liberals from a 4th term in office?

It’s very clear that the US populace has a global responsibility now. Nobody can remove this huge threat to global economic stability except them. If they can open their eyes and see the danger they are in domestically, perhaps they will do something before they are completely downtrodden

I am going to get my act together and fully migrate to BlueSky. I want to use all social media to promote my book. There's no point doing this much work and let it be lost inall the noise. People need to know it exists, then make the choice of whether to buy and read it. I'm grateful for any shares.

Happy thought for some of you… Assume CPC wins the next election (not so happy) PP has been counting on being the next PM. He may even have been ready to publicise himself as the 24th PM. No such luck. Whomever replace JT will be the next PM and the 24th PM. A minor but fun point
