Pierre Poilievre presents himself as a hard-scrabble populist. Away from the cameras, the truth is very different. He’s been consorting with corporate lobbyists at about 50 extravagant private fundraising events since being chosen party leader. #Opinion trib.al/kYardmN

Who started calling the cybertrucks Deploreans? I owe you a drink.

Migrants are not eating pets. Doctors are not murdering newborn babies. Schools are not doing transition surgery on kids. Nobody is taking away your gas stove. You will not be forced to drive an EV. This moral panic nonsense is Trump's campaign platform, and it's all fake.

Elon Musk: Anyone caught promoting propaganda will be suspended from X Also Elon Musk:

It's obvious that Conservatives were involved with organizing the "Freedom Convoy" from the beginning. Not just because Brad Wall was advising them and Andrew Scheer was meeting with them. The core message of the protest was to blame the entire pandemic response - which was

Or maybe -- just maybe! -- to give economic policy advice. We don't have to be openly contemptuous of expertise and knowledge as a society. It's a choice. But it always ends badly.

Hot take: Mark Carney *absolutely knows better* than most Canadians about the economy and how it works. Do we have this attitude towards doctors? Lawyers? Plumbers? Carpenters? No, of course not. We respect their expertise. And yet.

This would be funny but for the fact Doug Ford has not cut income taxes for the middle class in the 6 years he and you have been in government. Justin Trudeau did it 2x: once in 2015, and again in 2019. 2 > 0. #cdnpoli

Ontario is raking in the biggest tax haul as a share of GDP (outside the pandemic, when GDP declined) ever. Bigger even than when Bob Rae was Premier. (But affordability is Justin Trudeau’s fault) #cdnpoli #onpoli

4/ Third, the matter should always be judged not on the premise how smart a person is, but rather on the merit of the argument. Any decent historian will tell you that those who blame the US and NATO for russia’s invasion of Ukraine are either stupid or are propagandists.

We organize with Haitian-origin farm workers in NY. They’re as American as the apple pie their work makes possible, but right wing racists are spreading dehumanizing lies. Haitians are not eating pets. They’re feeding America. The anti-Haitian bigotry we’re seeing is repulsive.

A cautionary note to those following . I have tracked several critical indicators of social cohesion, economic confidence, fears of external world and so on , for decades. I have never seen anything as alarming as what I see now .This is once every century bad. Not business as

This guy pushed fake stories about Haitian immigrants over 30 times today

Higher insurance costs. Higher utility bills. Soaring rents. And sorry, folks: None of this has anything to do with Ottawa or Justin Trudeau.

The U.S. is prepared to take significant action against Iran over the transfer of missiles to Russia. If the information about the missiles is confirmed, it would mark a “dramatic escalation,” - the U.S. State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel. “We have made it clear… that

Ukraine can use Dutch weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation, - Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmanshas said He specified that the authorization to strike Russia also applies to F-16 fighter jets. "If Ukraine is attacked from border areas or from Russian

Steven Harper on Mark Carney😂 1/2 “In this time of global economic uncertainty, Governor Carney has done an admirable job in fulfilling the Bank of Canada’s mandate and has been a valued partner as the Government has worked to steer Canada away from the worst impacts

I guess "moderate", ostensibly patriotic CPC supporters haven't asked themselves why Pierre Poilievre is so popular among Kremlin-aligned propagandists who feature his photo alongside the photos of other Kremlin-friendly and/or anti-Canadian propagandists.

Let's give the former East Germany back to Russia as fair trade for the Donbas. A good opening gambit for Scholz, I think. This way, he can get rid of his AFD problem.

I wonder if the Nazi movement in the US will die down after Trump loses the election. The immediate aftermath of the election will, of course, be pandemonium and involve the mindless violence that the far-right endlessly fantasizes about.
