What a bunch of shady creepers.
A tweet by Jamie Bonkiewicz reads, “This photo is the reason women cover their drinks.” Below it is a photo of three men in suits standing in a room with military personnel behind them. The man in the center gestures with both hands, while the other two stand with serious expressions.

Every time lying Pete Hoekstra opens his mouth, he drives Canada further and further away from the United States. Is that the plan?

A young Tory MP's name gets mentioned as someone ready to cross the floor. He goes to ground and then suddenly announces he is stepping down. Young MPs just don't quit politics unless someone dumped a political horse head in the bed. #cutthroatontherideau #carneyneedsjust1

Air Canada’s CEO gave striking flight attendants more reason to defy a government order to go back to work. On BNN Bloomberg, CEO Michael Rousseau says the company didn’t make provisions for passengers with cancelled flights because it assumed government would enforce Section 107 to end the strike.

President Stubb: Some of the international media might wonder, "Why is the President of Finland here?" I think the reason is probably that we might come from a small country, but we have a long border with Russia, over 800 miles⤵️

You probably won’t be shocked to hear that after losing his seat in the Canadian election & barely putting any effort into his safe seat “campaign” in Alberta that he needs, Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to complete the normal security check and try to get the standard, ordinary security clearance.

Russia is a “peaceful” country — if you ignore the several dozen nations it has invaded, occupied, or bombed over the past few centuries. Peace, russian-style, just tends to involve someone else’s territory.
