I took a closer look at the beliefs of Sean Feucht, the "MAGA preacher" whose events has been cancelled by multiple Canadian cities. He believes Christians should be in control of government and laws should adhere to "biblical moral law." thetyee.ca/News/2025/08...

Six progressive parties "blew up" the ballot last Vancouver election with too many candidates.
This byelection, three parties (the Greens, OneCity, COPE) have agreed to limit themselves to one candidate each to prevent a split. Two seats are up for grabs.

Why Three Parties Cut a Deal Before Vancouver’s Byelection | The Tyee

A post racking up nearly 800,000 views on X last week claimed that the U.S. Agency for International Development, better known as USAID, provided eight Canadian public research universities with over $4.4 billion “funding the woke indoctrination of our youth.”
It didn’t.
