Poilievre SABOTAGES Canada's Deal With Trump!
YouTube video by The Planet D Poilievre SABOTAGES Canada's Deal With Trump!

Poilievreโ€™s Letter Isnโ€™t Helping Canada. Itโ€™s Sabotaging It.
Poilievre's pathetic letter wasn't for Canada. It was to sabotage Mark Carney and, it was a gift-wrapped favour for Donald Trump. #cdnpoli theplanetdemocracy.substack.com/p/pierre-poi... www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAXq...

Now you know why!
A number of vehicles assigned to Ontario cabinet ministers have racked up a combined $3,300 in automated speed camera fines.
The data comes as the Ford government looks to eliminate the use of speed enforcement cams. #cdnpoli

The Supreme Courtโ€™s First Blockbuster Case This Term Looks Pretty Fake On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Chiles v. Salazar, a case that seeks to undo a major triumph of the LGBTQ+ movement.

๐Ÿšจ Oral arguments today at SCOTUS: A Christian therapist is challenging Coloradoโ€™s ban on conversion therapy for minors โ€” even though she doesnโ€™t practice or plan to.

FFRFโ€™s brief urges the Court to dismiss this manufactured case: no harm, no standing, no case.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

I do not understand why television stations are not showing live coverage of how there is literally nothing happening in Portland and Chicago. I mean, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw would each be sitting on a set in those cities telling everyone the white house is lying.

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

NEW: In May, a Texas police department said they used the powerful Flock surveillance network against a woman who had an abortion "for her safety"

Newly obtained court records show it was a 'death investigation,' and they considered charging her with a crime

ExxonMobil to slash 2000 jobs US supermajor will cut up to 4% of its global workforce

The gutting continues. Big Oil has been slashing jobs for years and is continuing this year. It's automating work, because computers are cheaper than humans, and it's consolidating.
Job growth = renewables (ditched by Big Oil)
Job loss = fossils
