JD Vance invested in Rumble. He’s a close friend of Jamil Jivani, the CPC incumbent MP in the Ontario riding of Durham. That’s a pretty direct back channel between the PP campaign and MAGA. No small wonder then that PP parrots Trump propaganda days after the orange peril utters it.

A bar graph from Votewell.ca shows the Conservative candidate in the lead followed closely by the Liberal candidate.

J.D. Vance has his arm slung casually across the shoulder of his best friend Jamil Jivani.

One of his newest pet MP’s, parachuted into a riding he has nothing to do with, is Jamil Jivani, who happens to be JD Vance’s best friend from Yale Law School: ‘brother by another mother’.

Jamil Jivani in Durham apparently doesn't even live in the riding. Hand-picked to be a candidate by conservative party. Because of his connection to the VP of the US? 🤔 #onpoli

Let's be crystal clear. This guy Jivani is best friends with the Vice
President JD Vance who wants to overthrow the government of Denmark to take Greenland and make Canada the 51st state. This anti-diversity guy asks his Yale buddy to intervene in our politics all the time.
He's not #CanadaStrong let alone Bowmanville-Oshawa. His party doesn't care about workers.
