Kind of insane, really.
Why would anyone want to go to the US?

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

“I expect two more, at least,” one Conservative caucus member told National Post. “Poilievre will continue to die a death of 1,000 cuts, because I’ve never seen a guy who’s so unaware of the room he’s in, and I’ve never seen a guy who just refuses to stop doing stupid things.”
As the floor-crossing dust settles, Conservatives are bracing for more defections
After MP Michael Ma crossed the floor from the Conservatives to the Liberals, it's the best of times for Liberals and the worst for the CPC.

I have to believe there are more CPC MPs who are turned off or even embarrassed by Poilievre’s style and antics.

Your reminder that Maplehurst is a provincial correctional facility. This is Ford's responsibility and I can't believe that his government is not being held to account for the atrocious abuses that have taken place there.
This former inmate says he was assaulted by guards. Maplehurst lost the security camera footage that could corroborate his claims
A lawyer described it as a suspicious pattern for the Ontario jail, which was recently criticized for losing footage of abusive mass strip searches.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

Should #America survive the #Trump era it would do well to ensure the stain never wears off his celebrity enablers. They made a choice in this moment and revealed exactly who they are. NEVER forgive them.

Whatsoever your excuse may be, supporting Trump in 2025 is supporting Fascism & means you'd have found a way to support Hitler & the Nazis in the 30s. It's so much more than just bad judgement, it's an unpardonable defect in your character that belies an openness to hatred, cruelty & outright evil.

As far as I can tell, the current iteration of the Conservative Party of Canada is only good at 2 things - rage-farming and fundraising.
What’s more concerning is that they only seem to care about those 2 things. #cdnpoli
