A real problem is that no one fact checks after his presser. Everything that twerp speaks about should be fact checked in real time, as he is yapping his little beak off. He is allowed to spew mis and disinformation at will with no pushback. Extremely lazy journalism.

If everyone in America dressed up like an ICE agent there would be total chaos!

In some ways I get why Canadian Press may be excluded from PMs foreign trips. In past trips dealing with issues like the Ukraine Wars, some Canadian journos have not reported on the issues involved but inquired as to why the PM couldn't have done all this in a phone call from Ottawa.

"So Chief Betts is sending private messages to former MP Michelle Ferreri — so she can publicly call Peterborough “Gotham City” at a gathering of Conservatives⁉️
This was on September 19, 2025. She’s hadn’t been our MP for months.
🤯"

The Ford gov’t is privatizing our public hospitals in a move that’s costing patients thousands of dollars & taking away from our local public hospital services. Everyone’s help is needed to pressure them to stop it.

Holy shit, and also, great blessings upon the family of the human recipient mentioned in the article for allowing their loved one with no remaining brain activity to be a test candidate to determine if their body would reject a treated kidney.

This is huge news!
UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal.
Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure.

This is an excellent example of why it's crucial to #KnowYourRights.

The ACLU has a comprehensive "Know Your Rights" section on their website that I strongly recommend reading.

Here's the section on "Encountering Law Enforcement and Military Troops": www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

People are really overreacting to us building the Qataris an air base in Idaho. It’s only there for defensive reasons in case Montana or Wyoming invade them.

You can be a “car guy” and not like car dependency. You can be a “car guy” and get that too many cars in cities is bad for everyone, including drivers. You can be a “car guy” and be tired of lies & manipulations like “the war on cars.” You can be a “car guy” and know more choice means more freedom.
