I lost any respect for this guy when he endorsed the Horny Anti-Vaxers occupation of Ottawa.

Poilievre says the leadership of the RCMP is “just despicable”.
Quite literally, the RCMP protect him, his wife and his children every single day.
IMO, if anyone is “just despicable”, it’s Pierre Poilievre.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. — ProPublica

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

It is legitimately *wild* to me that Poilievre and his Conservatives are so shamelessly committing to being a Trump cover band.

I mean, do they not know that we can see the consequences of this exact rhetoric and ideology playing out in the US right now? And that we find it totally horrific?

Mini-Trump wants to jail the "despicable" RCMP to jail Justin Trudeau.
When PP was in government we had:
Fraud king Arthur Porter-jailed
Pm chief of staff Bruce Carson -jailed
Del Maestro-jailed.
Nigel Wright-$90,000 secret pay out.
btw, who directed Pierre Poutine?

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

My autism dial is turned up a little and one of my "symptoms" is a tendency to form opinions based on facts, not automatically adopt those of "my side". One example: It seems to me that environmentalists contributed to climate change, by opposing nuclear power. (Solar and wind are best now, though)

Registering to vote from abroad is actually really fast and easy. Look! Americans abroad can vote back home so don't waste the opportunity. It's faster than making a cup of coffee and feels a lot better than doomscrolling. Go to votefromabroad.org to register today.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

My advice... stay excited, but fight to win, beat Maga. During the Second World War we even allied with Stalin, because we had to beat the Nazis. Take a good hard look at the current threat and vote accordingly.

James Barfoot (Barfeet?) @jamesbarfoot.bsky.social · 19h

If it is really an NDP versus Maga race in some riding, then sure, it makes sense to vote NDP. However, the NDP misrepresented their chances in many ridings during the federal election, even Charlie Angus, whom I like, fibbed about some ridings in BC, resulting in unnecessary Maga victories.

James Barfoot (Barfeet?) @jamesbarfoot.bsky.social · 19h

That 8% NDP vote resulted in 2 seats for the NDP and 21 seats (a majority) for the Conservatives. Not the end of the world in Newfoundland, but under the current populist threat, such a national vote could be the end of Canadian democracy. Play party games some other time.

Legally enforceable. Clearly an immediate clarification from Stellantis, or send this to court. When Stellantis says they have undefined 'plans', they are stalling. They know the volatility of shifting Jeep production. $55 M of taxpayer money given.

⚠️Under 🇨🇦 #CSIF and the 🇨🇦 #NEA, #Stellantis accepted over $15 billion in public funding💰 to create and secure jobs🇨🇦 through 2027 & beyond.

🚨Those contracts📜 are legally enforceable⚖️, with clear terms requiring #Canadian operations workforce protection.

Trump can simply give $40 billion in US tax money to his pals in Argentina, openly admit it is for the intended purpose of keeping the MAGA allied right wing government in power, and pocket billions for himself. The US has no laws anymore and that's your money they are stealing.
