Poilievre you were defeated in Carleton. You have no right to be in Stornoway. Leave immediately please. It would be embarrassing to have to evict you. BTW you & your wife should not have voted in the same election box at the same time. That is illegal !

Utah Farmers Signed Up for Federally Funded Therapy. Then the Money Stopped.
Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it.

There needs to be accountability for spreading outright lies in parliament and during elections. I am unsure how this can happen when so many media outlets in Canada actively encourage these falsehoods. This must be addressed. Media accountability is just as important as political accountability.

Trump Officials Weaken Rules Insulating Government Workers From Politics
A reinterpretation of the Hatch Act announced by the administration lets officials wear campaign paraphernalia like MAGA hats, and removes an independent boardβs role in policing violations.
Not that anyone needed additional confirmation that the whining by Trump and his cultists re: a supposed partisan "deep state" in the federal government was a deranged conspiracy theory none of them really believed, but the new push by Trump is to let federal government workers be... openly partisan

Hereβs a no-brainer going forward in Canada β change the law so that anyone seeking to be leader of a National Political Party should be specifically required to submit for and successfully receive top secret security clearance.

The current Conservative Party are not the PCs from the 90βs. This is the hateful Reform/Canadian Alliance/ Conservative party that emerged after the PCs lost official party status in 2003. They are rooted in evangelical Christian agenda among other ideas that are antithetical to being Canadian.

Several emails dated October 21, 2016.
Ed Martin writes: "Go slow and steady. Not too much of a flood. Make it organic. Email his comments to others and say 'is this right?' Direct message him and play sweet/dumb ... 'i am not a lawyer but how can this happen?' And 'john and roger and others are grieving their mother's death ... can't this wait?'"
A reply back from Priscilla Gray says "on it."
Another email from Martin says: "Turn up the heat with others on his page. Call what he did unfair and rigged over and over. He's doing it like hillary does ...."
And a third email reads: "Go back on his page and write 'your ruling puts anne cori and her co plaintiffs in charge of the entity they sued, Eagle Forum. How can the anne cori and the plaintiffs now be telling the lawyers for defendant eagle forum how to defend themselves? That is not justice but a rigged system. So, you gave them eagle forum by rigging it so anne cori is lawyer for both sides. Shame on you and this broken legal system.'"
Ed Martin, Trump's pick for D.C. U.S. District Attorney, ghostwrote online attacks against an Illinois judge with whom he was in a legal dispute.
We obtained emails that show Martin bought a laptop for the woman who made the posts and coached her on how to make them look organic: propub.li/4d1aut5

3) Pierre Poilievre showed himself to be a hateful, small-minded, arrogant person with no ideas for how to lead Canada, just tear things down. He also refuses to step down after losing his seat (and only job ever), putting his ambitions above what is best for his party or country.

It's striking how much more detailed and specific all the leaders are than Pollievre.
He's more vague, and uses a lot more slogans than the others, even when they're not really related to the topic.
This must work well with an important segment of voters, or maybe it doesn't, and we'll find out.
