I found myself behind this truck this morning. This isnโ€™t normal political discourse. This is advocating for violence. The blame for this lies squarely at the foot of the Conservative Party of Canada and its leader, Pierre Poilievre.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody."

But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies.

Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

News deprivation | CCPA The last 16 years have not been kind to local news outlets in Canada. Now 2.5 million Canadians donโ€™t have access to local news. Thatโ€™s a problem for our democracy.

New @policyalternatives.ca report shows local news access declining in Canada as the threat of disinformation grows. Today nearly 2.5 million Canadians live in a postal code with no local news outletโ€”double the proportion in 2008. Yet, there are solutions! โžก๏ธ

The thing is is that he had security clearance when he was in Steven Harperโ€™s cabinet. So heโ€™s had it before. Whatโ€™s changed since then that makes him refuse to get it now?

The next election will be the most consequential is most of our lifetimes. Mark Carney will defend Canadaโ€™s economy, workers & our sovereignty against Donald Trump. Pierre Poilievre will sell us out.

Time to own our democracy, Canadians. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช

I don't think the average American grasps how concerned the average Canadian is about the annexation threat.

A lot of Americans are brushing it off a backburner ridiculous thing from Trump -- but here in Canada, our prime minister is literally telling us tariffs are part of an annexation plan.
