I guess the RCMP is investigating threats towards potential ship jumpers in the Conservative party. I wonder if these guys are somehow connected (I don't really wonder, but I don't want to say "assume.")

I don't. They have definitely been the aggressors in the anti-vax, pretend freedom movement. Personally, my freedom comes with a healthy side of disease prevention.

Hmmm, there seems to be a pattern here. #CdnPoli #BCPoli

What a nifty side-effect! Where can we get a Mamdani for every city he's booked to play?

Not only will he, he will vote for PP again. In his mind there are no alternatives, even if he dislikes the one choice he's narrowed himself to choose.

New flu virus mutation could see β€˜worst season in a decade' Leading flu experts say they will not be surprised if this year's is the worst flu season for a decade.

Unfortunately, this is one of the years that the flu shot isn't a great match to the dominant strain. Japan has already declared it an epidemic, and has been closing schools. Oh, and flu season has begun a month early, because of this.

I cried as the plane flew past the Ilikai in Waikiki, on November 6, 2024. It felt very final.

I suspect JJ has deep pockets behind him, and it scares the f out of me. He's one to keep an eye on for sure.

Every union in the country needs to send monetary support to the Alta teachers for their court costs. This is everyone's fight. I'm angry beyond reason.

I can't imagine what is in the minds (likely nothing but "la-la-la-la") of the voters in his riding. Knowing this and voting for him anyway? Utterly mindless.

It wouldn't surprise me, but I think the folk they target are LGBTQ+ and indigenous. One of my colleagues was recently targeted by a local fascist group for coming out as gay.

The conservative party matches his "values" 100% in its current iteration. They'd love to have their entire party be just like him. This is why I will never vote for this group of bigots and losers.

Well, they were putting everyone else's livestock in harm's way. Not to mention wild birds. I'm disgusted by their performance.

I'm 100% in agreement. This ridiculous spectacle is about as sincere as the 2022 convoy riots were about the fiction of "lockdowns." I'm so sick of this grift.

He's also a con man, using party funds for private school tuition for his kids. But he's happy to vote down a national school lunch program for anyone else's kids!
I forgot he's eligible to be deported. πŸ˜‰

He's the right hand idiot to our official opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre.

Scheer is lying when there's a smirk on his face. He's the "Sneer" in my "Snivel and Sneer" nicknames for he + Poilievre.
It's nice to see some of the Conservatives breaking free of the cult. We need an official opposition of grown ups. I don't see much evidence of that, across the floor. #CdnPoli

I have to put my morals above this type of gaslighting. I can't hang around with people actively in favor of stomping all over the rights of others.
