Elizabeth May: "Where is Pierre Poilievre's notion that the former prime minister should be jailed? It's deeply worrying because this is the kind of thing going on right now in Trump's United States. So I think Pierre Poilievre should reconsider his language, withdraw those words, and apologize"

Perfect!!

Clearly Poilievre's way out of his league & unable to understand complex issues or related solutions. He's trying to convince us that we'd be better off with a simpleton like himself. We're facing very complex problems that require great minds. Smart Canadians voted well & dodged a bullet #canada

Poilievre’s new flex- I’m too stupid to understand what Carney talks about and you are too. Yet another campaign play assuming all Canadians are stupid rednecks. #cdnpoli

Jivani=Poilievre. Jason Kenney may run but he had issues as premier of Alberta. I'm hoping for a second term for Carney. I like that he's intelligent, understands how the world works and is highly respected by world leaders. We need smart leaders not swarmy ones. He's good for Canada IMO #Cdnpoli

I hope when PM Carney releases the budget in November that he does so with a companion colouring book and puppet show so poor confused Poilievre can understand it.

Or at least have his child explain it to him.

Poilievre’s clearance “refusal” is the biggest scandal in history. What’s he hiding?

Leaders who love Canada are cleared and stay informed. A superpower is attacking our sovereignty and economy! His excuse? “Can’t speak freely if I know truth.” He’s a five-alarm security risk!

Poilievre is spiralling out because Carney uses too many big words for him to convert to a three word anti-slogan.

Maybe he needs to spend some of that $9M in office expenses he blew on an Oxford Dictionary.

It's a shame. This is not the Progressive Conservative party from years ago but rather the Reform party who took on the Conservative name. We do need viable political party options in our democracy. I'm grateful Cdns chose Carney. His CV is amazing. We need smart, savvy leaders not angry rhetoric.

At this point it would be hard to imagine him surviving the leadership review. Surely every Conservative (Reform) party member must see how toxic he is. This type of politics does not work for the majority of Cdns. #cdnpoli #Cdnmedia #Canada

“As reported by PressProgress, Canada Proud has close ties to Pierre Poilievre and a record of presenting false and misleading partisan content. A report by the CBC revealed that Poilievre had hired the team behind Canada Proud to boost his messages online.”

I lived on a military base at the time. Very high security. I remember it well. I have always believed PM Pierre Trudeau made the right call at the time. It was a scary time and my first encounter with terrorism. #Cdnhistory #Cdnpoli

Nobody .. bar none, has the stoic composure and restraint of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Mark Carney processes a comment from Donald Trump.

Being diplomatic is not ass-kissing. When the prime minister is dealing with an American president who’s an unhinged maniac, it’s advantageous to handle things with finesse.

Never Poilievre. Please make this career politician who has voted against anything that would better the lives of ordinary Canadians, go away. Seriously, the Conservatives need to rethink their leader at the upcoming review. #cdnpoli #Canada #neverPoilievre

Charlie Angus @charlieangus104.bsky.social · 15d

Don't be suckered in by Poilievre's campaign to launch a campaign over Canadian Christians suffering "persecution." He is running the same playbook as the AfD in Germany, Trump in the States and Farage in the UK.

Poilievre tagging others for the life he lives. The CPC has a shallow dirt bag for a leader.

Seeing all the great work @charlieangus104.bsky.social is doing lately, I am once again reminded how wrong the #NDP was in not selecting him as their leader after Jack Layton passed. He is a natural. Not perfect, of course, but quite good. #CDNpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmMl...

Absolutely something to think about. I want to believe the military wouldn't follow unlawful orders. These men have honour, families and their vow is to uphold the Constitution.....but who would have thought any of what is happening would actually be happening.

Jeff Tiedrich @jefftiedrich.bsky.social · 16d

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

The misinformation out there is rampant. It will likely cause irreparable harm. When those in power perpetrate lies and innuendo, ordinary people pay the price. When trusted institutions are dismantled people have few reliable source of information. Who do they trust? #cdnmedia #factsmatter
