I agree, nonetheless it's effective. Apparently people don't mind voting against their best interest. That's quite apparent when one looks at the Trump Maga movement. Hopefully they will come to their senses before it's too late. In the meantime I hope we remove our blinders & see what's before us.

Remember they said they don’t need anything from us? Then why are US States crying for Canadians to come back, travel, why are sales down in many categories, why are companies going bankrupt, we may be small in population to the US, but Canadians put billions in the US economy and we can boycott!!

I've noted more journalists are calling out PP's lies and that's what they are, pure and simple. He's appealing to the convoy and UCP crowd betting they will show up to vote for him at his leadership review. I challenge the majority of Conservative members to show up and give him a kick in the arse.

Someone should remind ford of what his provincial government is in charge of and what he should let other levels of government be in charge of 🤔
Some Canadians should look at this too🤔 blame the proper levels of government 🤔
Not just Trudeau and PM Carney ✌️

Doug Ford is not the mayor of Ontario!

Local affairs are not improved by having Mr. Ford blunder into them.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit... #topoli #onpoli
