What an a**hole. He said today that PM Carney doesn’t need to fly to India for talks?? Ummm, maybe he has other discussions that aren’t privy to you since you don’t have your security clearance Pierre? And you don’t need to fly to Germany for talks either since you’re irrelevant

Poilievre calls for all-party working group on renewing trade deal… National Newswatch: Canada's most comprehensive site for political news and views.

Poilievre is like the guy who shows up to join the group project after all the hard work has been done by others. #cdnpoli nationalnewswatch.com/2026/02/26/p...

Good luck with that. TrumPierre hasn't changed his tune. And won't.

Remember this, 🇨🇦Canadians: one of petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s most ardent supporters,
Tracey Wilson, doyenne of the 🍁gun cult and high mucky muck at the Canadian Coalition for “Firearm Rights”, has just told you “we aren’t a serious country.”

"This has never happened in Alberta’s history, and it reflects the profound harm caused by the Premier’s embrace of separatism."

The NDP have released a statement on the Assembly of Treaty Chiefs vote of non-confidence in the UCP.

In the #HoC for Friday #QP.
Nater in the Big Chair.
Barrett leads off, wants the government to work with them on Poilievre’s ideas from his speech.
Joly thanks them, says Dominic LeBlanc is in Washington today, and thanks Poilievre for copying their plans.

"Desperately Seeking Relevance"; a soon to be released documentary on the escapades of TrumPierre. Coming soon to a political theatre near you.

Conservative MP searches for ‘antifa’ in federal government, Canadian Armed Forces - National | Globalnews.ca Federal departments and the Canadian Armed Forces must answer by April how many members of anti-fascist groups work for the public service and the military.

If Canadian Conservative MP Garnett Genuis needs to find Antifa, he needs only Google "Canadian War Cemetery", check the names, then look up the families of the fallen.

Watching media commending Pierre Poilievre’s change of position around Trump. It’s remarkable that some are willing to take this change in good faith. Poilievre showed his true colours for a LONG time, and has finally accepted how hugely unpopular that is. He’s now saying whatever he has to, to win.

Ford calls the new Science Centre design “stunning.” It comes with a $1B price tag. The original building could’ve been repaired for $40M. #cdnpoli
“That billion could be better spent solving hallway healthcare, getting students OSAP & solving challenges in education.”
Trump's Ballroom = Ford's SC.

We are right not to trust someone whose previous mantra was Canada is broken. He really must think Canadians are "stupid" as he has been known to say in the past.

Strong editorial from the Globe this morning. I hope @evansolomon.bsky.social reads it. Canadians will never forget that children died and were grievously injured when OpenAI made its own decisions about safety.

Never again. Act now, Minister.

So now that Queen of Stupid and Schoolyard Bullygirl Danielle Smith is distracting from her record deficit by picking on immigrants, let’s all remind her of her letter less than 3 years ago to the hated PM Justin Trudeau demanding more immigrants for
Alberta.

Clearly Genuis doesn't realize the first rule of ANTIFA Club is that we don't talk about ANTIFA Club.

(BTW: Anyone happen to know if the weekly ANTIFA potluck is still a go for tonight?)

What Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre has to say about Canada-U.S. relations is laughable. The Orange Monstrosity in the White House is unreliable and unpredictable. Prime Minister Mark Carney is doing the right thing.

I interpreted this post as a reference to planned international travel by a certain Canadian politician who is not our Prime Minister (thankfully). The beauty of it is though, it could apply to many people.

Going to take a wild guess here and say police can tell the difference between a bullet and a pen.

LOLOLOLLLL I’m dying.

Mitch Sylvestre (the guy behind the separation petition) claims someone left a bullet as a THREAT at his business. He calls the RCMP.

“RCMP said investigators found that the item was a pen that resembled a bullet.”

A PEN. THAT YOU NEED TO SIGN A PETITION.

What an idiot.
