Observations from Montreal An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.

“A report by the CBC revealed that Pierre Poilievre hired the team behind Canada Proud to ‘boost his messages online.’ The organization has since been caught running disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. Canadians deserve to know every last detail about Poilievre‘s ties to Canada Proud.”
