Fact checking the CPC and Poilievre is a full time job.

The fact that none of our news organizations do this is ridiculous.

There should be a ticker on every session of the HoC live that fact checks claims made.

The truth isn’t partisan. It’s the truth. Start telling it.

Never forget M.P. Cooper waited for the cameras to be live, & even moved over a bit, to be sure these clowns were in the background, live on tv, during his dressing down of the P.M. during the occupation. He also rents his apt. from Skippy.

Meanwhile, in the land of privately owned, for profit care…

Allegedly long term care homes have stopped using overnight adult diapers and are only using daytime ones because they’re cheaper.

Even though they allegedly compromise care.

On the school board trustee front…

Hearing some “elections workers” were at advance polling stations in #yyc telling people that candidates had dropped out so there would be no trustee ballots.

When those candidates had not dropped out.

Imagine... an American 'cop'. Pulling you over and making demands of you inside Canada... justification, you were driving within 10km's of the border.

Are they going to drag you into US and 'deport' you to Sudan?

The ONLY reason for a province to use the notwithstanding clause is if it’s about to trample on a group’s charter rights. Get rid of the fucking clause

Shocker.

Human rights need to be inalienable, otherwise they are not rights.

No one should be able to wipe out rights with the not withstanding clause! It should be removed completely.

The city pays the doctors a fixed-annual salary of approximately $280,000, plus benefits, a pension and paid vacation. Instead of running a private practice, doctors work out of a city-run clinic, with the municipality covering all overhead and administration.

The health mandate letters are out and it’s clear the UCP cares more about privatization and Corrupt Care than you.

While the UCP are siphoning public funds to private operators and charging people for vaccines, over one million Albertans still don’t have a family doctor. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli

Yet the Conservative party of Canada is repeating all the MAGA points from the U.S. They are not "distinct" they are a carbon copy. Now if you were talking about the Tories(AKA the Progressive Conservative party)....Harper killed them off. Took a storied Canadian party and ruined it.
