Pierre Poilievre is the only politician who can make wood and dirt polarising.

Pierre Poilievre’s base gives him a +71 net impression.
Among everyone else, it’s -62.
That’s how you build a movement and hit a ceiling.

Pierre Poilievre’s popularity is unprecedented. But is his future as Conservative leader safe?
Conservative Party of Canada members love him, but is it time to replace the party’s leader?

I'm by no means perfect when it comes to character but nothing bothers me more than someone who lies to me. Especially if the lie assumes I must be stupid or uninformed. It's why I have spoken up about politics and it's why I disqualify many political candidates from the get-go. Truth still matters.

Azalea officially turns two today, but I'm pretty sure she entered her "terrible twos" early. I've heard a lot about the "terrible twos" and what to expect from her, but I gotta say that attempting to cross the floor — twice — was not on my bingo card. 😅

Dorothy: "How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?"
Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.
Reporter: Was it your brain?
Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

Vernon—Lake Country—Monashee MP Scott Anderson was the only regional Conservative MP not at Pierre Poilievre's Kelowna speech. With the country asking Conservative MP’s if they still support Poilievre's leadership, why didn't local news media seek comment from Anderson this week? #VernonBC #CdnPoli

The Buy Canadian Act represents a powerful opportunity to reinforce our commitment for Canadians to support one another during the U.S.'s economic war of aggression. If you see imported steel on an active construction site using government funding, report it. 🇨🇦💪

Canada could build Gripens for both Ukraine and the Royal Canadian Air Force. Saab is in talks with the federal government and Bombardier to build Saab’s Gripen fighter jet under licence in Canada, which could create 10,000 jobs and spawn a research network to develop aerotech. 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇸🇪💪

In my municipality, we can officially review the City budget at the pub. I don't think I've ever seen that anywhere before (and would be strictly forbidden at a particular BC Crown Corporation).

The best hoodies are Made in Canada. 🍁
Within the part of the menswear industry that I operate in, Roopa Knitting Mills is widely regarded as one of the best hoodie manufacturers. Founded in 1991 by an Indian immigrant named Nat Thakkar, they do every production step after yarn spinning in Ontario, Canada.

My father served 2 years in WW2 as a tail gunner in a Lancaster. He made it back when so many of his friends and other crews didn't. Thirty-six times, he took a deep breath and flew into what might be his last moments, and he did it for all of us without hesitation.
