Watching RFK Jr. press conference about menopause hormone therapy (MHT). He doesn't even get the name of the therapy right. Uses old misogynist label HRT.

Lots of laughs and some tears.

"Nearly 1/5th of the federal budget goes to OAS, and costs are rising more than any other budget line item as Canada's population ages. Retired couples with incomes of $182,000 can get the full $18,000 OAS subsidy, while around 400,000 seniors still live in poverty."

Words matter.
Every person who thinks it's just pedantry to argue about what constitutes "fascism" should think very hard about how much damage has been done to American life by the indiscriminate and incorrect usage of words like "terrorism," "war," "treason" and "communist", among many others.

It should surprise no one that Conservative MPs are "feeling disaffected with Poilievre's leadership style." Outside of a loyal base that appreciates his evidence-free, grievance-based rants, Poilievre does NOT appeal to Canadians. Waiting to see which MP leaves next.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

I am most definitely *not* a Doug Ford fan/voter.
But it is a good and effective ad. If the only way for Americans to get accurate information about tarriffs is from an ad paid for with Ontario tax $$ (very sad but apparently true), then it was money well spent.
