Canada should be focused on nation-building. Instead we are getting sucked into a needless pipeline war to appease Moe and Danielle Smith.
If the PM tries to kill the tanker ban without consulting BC premier Eby or First Nations he will be in for the fight of his life.
And he will lose.

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

This is what Jivani and his ilk fuel with their "liberal racism" horseshit. And any journalist who fails to make this link is either a fool or sympathetic to white supremacy.

Meanwhile, their message serves a violent movement that wants immigrants (and people perceived to be immigrants) to be The Reason for why Canada is in decline. That,is extraordinarily dangerous. And yet, I've seen fawning over this guy. Canada is so fucked.

It has been wild to watch Canadian journalists launder Jivani's white supremacy. In this case, through his love of "gangster culture."
Conservative MP Jamil Jivani was on the latest episode of our “Playbook Canada” podcast.

We talk about what he learned from gangster rap, surviving cancer, DEI — and the toughest person he knows.

The name of the new Conservative campaign manager is Outhouse and all of a sudden it's not okay to make fun of people's names or to make toilet humour in politics 🙄 Lead by example CPC. #canada #cdnpoli #pierrepoilievre #frankdomenic🍁

One fascinating and yet expected thing is that none of the big foreign accounts pretending to be American are left of center, or even anti-Trump. Not a single one. Says something about the economics and geopolitics of political grifting
If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

A recovery night for the Canadiens in every sense from goaltending, to goals, to physicality in this Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal.

Also, the Wilde Cards is a look at the myth of poor defence versus the truth of poor netminding.

The recipe is simple, and the Canadiens will win with it more often than not if they stick to it moving forward.

#Habs Florian Xhekaj said his family will be in attendance tonight - his dad wasn't able to make it to the preseason game where Florian and Arber suited up together so tonight will be extra special for him to see his two sons playing in the #NHL at the same time.

You might want to invent a dozen reasons to chat about why the Canadiens are losing.

You’d be wrong.

They haven’t had a better than 870 goalie performance since Utah game.

Tonight, 6 allowed on 30. .800.

800 gives you no chance to win.

I want every Canadian on here to read this 🧵 I can’t believe some of the shit I hear from y’all about healthcare. The out-of-pocket costs will bankrupt you. So I encourage every Canadian who thinks it’s better down there to move to the U.S. and experience if a private system gives better care
