The latest Canadian Heritage Moment on the air now:
When Capital Pride in Ottawa put out an anti-Israel statement last year, the City of Ottawa, provincial and federal Liberal parties, the mayor and several hospitals all withdrew from participating.
We'll see what the response is in Montreal now that a group was actually banned.

SHOCKING: A Jewish LGBTQ+ group was banned from Montreal Pride.
Fierté Montréal has denied Ga’ava, a Jewish LGBTQ+ group, permission to march in this year’s Pride.
This is the same organization that received $1.5 million from the Canadian government to fight hate.
Now it’s banning Jews.

I want this soooooo badly to be true, but sadly it appears to not be legit. How else can you explain the poor grammar, Coldplay blame and the unconscionable quoting of Fix You?
Friends, I'd be skeptical about a statement circulated by a 20-follower Twitter account named "P. Enis"

Sooooo Trump jokes/thinks Merz was a Nazi?
I'll tell you it takes a lot for him to shock me nowadays. This is pretty shocking. This is up there with McCain wasn't a war hero and publicly siding with Putin in Helsinki over his own intelligence services.

MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe
TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day
MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship

Solid dragged performance by Francis Scarpaleggia, as he’s elected PSpeaker.
Scheer giving a solid push and Carney with one of biggest grins I’ve ever seen. Only thing missing is “NO NO” facial expressions.
Not near my Top 5 though:
-Milliken (twice)
-Jerome
-Scheer
-no.1 Geoff Regan’s Oscar 🎭

Man some post-election takes... Some of them put together would look like:
"PC premiers not helping led the Conservatives to lose, combined with Elections Canada being fishy and now Carney will put NDP in cabinet and jail/deport content creators he doesn't like."
