There is no better person to stand up to Donald Trump than Mark Carney. He is calm, serious, polite and most of all intelligent. He is everything Donald Trump is not. THAT is what Canada needs right now.

Trudeau did everything wrong, I'm a prick and I'm going to run for the leadership. You won't recognize the party when I'm done with it, I'm going to cut, can every program, everything. It's over folks, pay your own way, no more taxes. Oil will win, open the taps baby.

Until a member of Congress goes to jail for theft and/or fraud, these offenses are going to keep happening. It is time for us to publicly declare—if by no means accept—that both DOJ and the FBI have no problem whatsoever with politicians defrauding their donors or stealing money from voters. None.

When Cons tell you that Canadian food inflation is higher than the U.S., ask them to explain this chart. The price on carbon hasn’t increased food prices (pennies per $100 bill). Does America have a carbon tax? No. Why is their food inflation equal to/higher than here?

Not looking to politicize what happened in New Orleans in any capacity, however the lead in the investigation is none other than the outstanding men and women of the FBI. The same organization that Kash Patel is nominated to lead and wants to abolish. Think about that for a moment.

I’m so proud that my party isn’t petty, reductive and mean like this. If he’s really at 45% in the polls, why go negative and stoke the absolute worst in us? When Trudeau was leading in polls; he took the high and noble road, opting for sunny ways. Poilievre is poisonous trash.

I do not think American workers have a culture problem.

I do think American corporations have a culture problem.

Since 1978, CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,085%.
American workers are fed up and are saying
"enough."

Meanwhile, workers on H-1B visas have strict employment rules that limits their ability to leave their employers, which opens them up to exploitation: lower pay and more outrageous productivity goals.

This is about corporations squeezing every last penny out of anyone and anything they can.

Nothing to see here. Just more Con personalities shitting on Canada and advocating that we join the U.S. Again, it’s almost ALWAYS a Con. They don’t love this country. They love America. The only way to save Canada is to vote Liberal and reject Cons completely.

It’s pretty obvious that if Canadians want to firmly reject American annexationist dreams, they must vote Liberal. Traitorous Cons are crawling out of every corner like bed bugs in support of the idea. It’s really disgusting and unacceptable.
