Says the guy who manipulated his way into the safest CPC seat after being kicked out of office by his former constituents. And then manipulated the system to live rent free in our mansion for close to four months.

β€œPierre Poilievre has spent his time as CPC leader insulting Canadians’ intelligence with rage-bait and disinformation. The Conservatives chose the path of hate and division, taking cues from the Trump playbook. They don’t give a shit about national unity.”

A huge and richly deserved honour for the dean ofπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦Canadian health journalists, @picardonhealth.bsky.social.
He insists on speaking truth amidst all the nutbar misinformation flying through the ether.

At a time like this, a little self reflection might be in order for Hot Air Pierre. Instead he doubles down on his Trump-like nature.

Has PP reimbursed Canadian taxpayers for living rent free in our mansion for close to four months when he was a private citizen after losing his Ottawa-area seat in HOC? No credibility for any spending related criticism until he mends his own high spending ways.

Thanks for the link. I listened with great interest and will check out more of his commentaries. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Oh, someone had a nice Paris dinner! Someone went to the tennis! Someone kept the airline slippers! Shock! Horror! No, Australian media. This is what actual corruption looks like. Take a good look.

Someone really needs to tell the orange menace and the Heritage Foundation that George Orwell's 1984 was fiction.

I think we probably underplay how deluded and radical the Alberta government actually is

But a synopsis without inflammatory words wouldn't be click-bait. And that's the priority for much of what our national broadcaster does online these days, it seems.

Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

YouTube video by CTV News 'It was my decision': Hillman on resigning as Canada's ambassador to U.S.

This was a scheduled departure, not a panic move.
Ambassador Kirsten Hillman was always set to wrap up her term, and now her replacement is widely expected to be Mark Wiseman.

That's wild. What a mockery they make of our Parliament. And Hot Air Pierre wasn't in the House for the vote on his own motion? Attending another fundraiser perhaps?

As young children my brothers and I would grab whatever cardboard we could find to slide down "cowboy hill" in Chatham, NB. Hubby and I visited a few years ago and found that while the hill is still there, it's not very high. Burst my childhood memories of death-defying feats.

I hope Canadians who consider the Conservative Party a viable option see what a waste of time, space and energy and that PP just holds government back from getting things done, whether voting β€œno” against things that benefit Canadians or ragging the puck as Bill says!

Poilievre is just not ready for leadership after 20 years of being a politician, those in the caucus need to wake up to the fact neither the Liberals nor Canadians in general can take him seriously when is immaturity is so blatant.

Thank you MP Hogan for your clarification
