Remember this, when voting in Canadian federal election. Cons always go after Healthcare, so that insurance companies can make a buck off privatisation. Education is also in their crosshair, since it's much easier to control a bunch of dummies. 📌 #polcan canadians.org/analysis/har...

Hey, thank you for putting Dump in office before Canadian elections. It avoided electing Cons in Canada;
they dropped like a rock after DJT took office (tariffs, 51st State, etc.). Otherwise, we'd be stuck with GOP North
in power & Skippy (Pierre Polievre) as PM.

It reads like a Dump post.

The emails from the former Manning Centre are getting increasingly unhinged.

CANADA STRONG & FREE NETWORK

Dale,

The Liberals are playing a DANGEROUS game with our country! They’re pushing the Supreme Court to SLASH the Notwithstanding Clause.

THIS IS THE GLUE THAT HOLDS OUR CONSTITUTION TOGETHER.

We’re really worried, Dale. This could spark a crisis and tear our nation apart!

Even the experts are warning this is a “SHOCKING” move that could lead to a full-blown CONSTITUTIONAL MELTDOWN!

Tell Us Where You Stand!
Should the Radicals mess with our Constitution?
No way! Protect Provincial Rights!
Yes, Let Ottawa Rule
I’m Concerned – Need More Info

Shooting seems to be USA's solution to everything:
no gun control & hate speech being protected by "free speech".

Still no.

Sorry, but no.
I can't approve someone being gunned down,
whoever it is.

US is teetering on the brink of an abyss &
1st reaction shouldn't be to shoot one another.

Canadians can still use the "thumb up" imoji,
since symbol hasn't been grab by an insane leader.

USians, you won't be alone on October 18th.
There are "No Tyrants" demonstrations in various Canadian cities as well: Montréal, Toronto, Vancouver, etc.

It can't be "No King", since Canada is a Constitutional Monarchy: meaning would thus be different. Our king doesn't intervene in politics.

1K FBI agents have been assigned to flag Dump's name in Epstein file. 23% of FBI agents (that's close to 3K) have been assigned to immigration. Is there anyone left to "DO SOMETHING!!!"?

Franca (Ph.D.) 🇨🇦 @francaqc.bsky.social · 2h

And they're getting richer every minute,
unlike bottom 50%.

There's been revolutions for less than that.

Canada being a monarchy, "No King"
would mean that we reject our type of govt.
"No Tyrants" is a compromise,
while supporting "No King" in US.

Franca (Ph.D.) 🇨🇦 @francaqc.bsky.social · 2h

Same one, but named "No Tyrants Day".
Canada is a Constitutional Monarchy, unlike US,
"No King" would have a different meaning.

Other ad gives time & place, not this one.
It asks to "sign up" to know location.
I'd never "sign up" for a demonstration,
since SPVM could get the list of participants.

Canadians will be protesting in solidarity with our American friends on October 18th at No Tyrants rallies in Vancouver, BC, as well as in Toronto and Ottawa, Ontario. Stronger together.

I think we should drop tariffs on Chinese EVs. It will make the pricing more competitive for eco friendly cars and consumers will make the choice to buy foreign or domestic. Not the government.
