Pierre PoiLIEvre is a D!€k: Part 120

By “the left” he means “Liberals” right? The majority of Canadians based on the last Federal election results, which by the way he LOST BIGLY.

He’s unqualified, a proven liar and a walking national security risk. If he loves the US so much, just f*€king leave.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

Duffy wants to know who is funding Antifa for the No Kings March. He can’t wrap his brain around the idea of people doing something and not being paid for it unless it’s people who don’t count. Millions of people bringing their homemade signs marching peacefully together is a concept beyond him

Of course Doug Ford said he wanted to beat up a suspected shoplifter in the Home Depot parking lot.

I'd be grumpy too if my 19-week summer holiday was almost over.

P.S. If you believe Doug Ford was in a Home Depot parking lot, I have some beer to sell you. But it'll cost you more than a buck.

Doug Ford glares menacingly at something off screen.
It's probably a teacher, a nurse, or a child with autism.

The sitting calendar for Queen's Park shows the last sitting day on June 5. The next time MPPs meet is on October 20. That's 19 weeks off, in case you don't feel like counting.

I cannot emphasize enough: 3 year olds do not give a shit if people are gay. They don’t care. They want to know what your favorite dinosaur is, or why you’re not currently wearing a butterfly costume.
