Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

Pierre Poilievre is engaging in blatant misinformation.
Mark Carney will be debating in French. He is not participating in an event held by TVA because of the outrageous requirement of a $70,000 fee to participate.
Facts matter

Not a chance that Trump understands that sometimes handing over the leadership can be better for the country.

My guess? Trump will say that Trudeau resigned because he’s scared of him. Fact check: Trudeau resigned before Trump was inaugurated 😒

In case you missed it, our Prime Minister has voluntarily stepped down, is NOT seeking reelection, and in fact will likely not be PM for probably more than a week (transition plan still TBD but new leader for the party will be named on Sunday).

If you’re unaware of how Canadian federal elections work, don’t listen to this imbecile’s opinion on it.

Trump won’t admit it, but Canadian potash fuels American agriculture More than 80 per cent of the potash used by U.S. farmers comes from Canadian mines, and the costs could skyrocket should tariffs happen

Something to bookmark:

Potash is essential for modern agriculture.

**Eighty percent** of the potash used on American farms comes from mines in *Saskatchewan*.

Going to tell Trump this is Canada’s Fentanyl Czar.

I thought she was holding a Canadian flag, not a fire extinguisher. It actually kind of works that way too.

It’s ok to disagree about pineapple on pizza. But how can you be friends with anybody who thinks there are some people less deserving of love? Freedom? Life?

This is a shocking (but not surprising really) situation. BC Conservative MLA who is LITERALLY PRETENDING TO BE AN MD. She is not a medical doctor. She has no medical credentials. Why is she not being investigated?? Wtf?

Cancel your Prime Membership and stop shopping on Amazon. It’s not that hard to source more locally. Canadians especially. It can be done !!
