If you agree this man is the worst President in history and will go down in history as such, I want you to retweet this and follow me.

WITH Stephen Harper, Pierre Poilievre shut down the International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development, cut funding for the Canadian Human Rights Commission & closed the Court Challenges Program that helped women and immigrants mount court challenges against discrimination. #Freedumb !

WITH Stephen Harper, Pierre Poilievre made Canada look like a moron nation by being one of only a few countries to vote against Palestinian statehood, and they cut the funding to NGOs that were working to prevent huge mining companies from abusing the rights of indigenous people's in Africa etc.

Youโ€™re going to keep hearing stories like thisโ€”because Trump doesnโ€™t GAF about these folks.

WAKE UP!

No amount of contact lenses, spray tan, or chin filler is going to give Pierre Poilievre the experience, credibility, or understanding required in these fraught times. His only skill is dividing people, and we can see how that turned out south of the border. Support Mark Carney and Canada.

Somehow fitting that Steve Harper, the worst Prime Minister that Canada ever had, is trying to get Poilievre elected who would be the second worst PM if Canadians were foolish and reckless enough to elect him.

Think about the credibility Mark Carney has internationally, and how effectively after becoming Prime Minister he established smart, strategic ties with Europe and other parts of the world. Think about the leadership he can provide internationally.

Now picture โ€œCanada Firstโ€ Poilievre trying that.

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard An official on the administrationโ€™s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

Ah - Trump said that their letter allowing them to take over Harvard was sent in error.
That is some pretty furious backpeddling.

If one were running for PM, one would be inclined to reject support and endorsements from the ๐Ÿgun cult and their lobby group, the Canadian Coalition for โ€œFirearm Rightsโ€.
They did, after all, lose the last election for Erin Oโ€™Toole.
Not piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre though.
Heโ€™s all in with them.

Good for Rosie Barton and David Cochrane for pointing out that The Rebel people confronted journalists, including them, and wilfully disrupted the debate coverage and ended the after-debate scrum with leaders. Cochrane called out the rage farming for profit. Massive failure by the debate commission

Rebel News and True North threatened real journalists tonight and that led to cancellation of access to a post debate scrum. So Canadians lose because of far right grifters aligned with the Conservative Party of Canada

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

US infant mortality rises in states with abortion bans, study finds Some states restrict access for women following the overturning of Roe v Wade.

Pro-life is anything but pro-life. Their real goal is to force their radical religious beliefs on all of us. So much for the freedom of religion guaranteed in the First Amendment.
