“Sure, Trump is taking foreign bribes, terrorizing immigrants, trying to jail his political opponents and destroying our public health system, but I’m still glad I voted for him because that black Democrat lady had a funny laugh.”

2 years after the Greenbelt scandal, Doug Ford Conservatives pull another one out of the hat by rigging the Skills Development Fund to benefit insiders and party donors.

Conservative scandals & broken promises are driving a jobs disaster and driving costs up for working people.

Can she counter sue as a frivolous lawsuit for that reason?

Nick @saintnick98.bsky.social · 4d

Counter sue as a frivolous lawsuit. Show the many who chose not to litigate due to no evidence.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social You are giving too much credit to 2 corrupt leaders over a "peace deal" in a war that should have stopped long ago.
How much trust do you have in what these people say considering the lies being told to the world already?
Remember, DJT thinks he has already stopped 7-8 wars.

MAGA Alberta troll site begs Trump to ban me. Little wonder that MAGA Alberta looks to a foreign adversary for help.
I have been blacklisted by Putin, being banned by Trump would be a source of honour.
And I remain proudly Canadian - true, north, strong, free and never a quisling traitor.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. outside the White House on Sept. 9. A new poll finds a deep partisan divide with Republicans trusting Kennedy as much as their own doctor, but he is unpopular among Democrats and independents.

The fall out of Carney's latest visit with Trump:
After bragging about Canada joining the US, Trump made it clear he is determined to destroy our autoworkers and steelworkers.
But Danielle Smith and the planet burners are over the moon.
