PP is only capable of pissing his pants in public and blaming others for the mess.

Poilievre tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries & the Cdn Gas Association.
It’s not surprising for a career politician who has voted against the environment 400 times in 20 years Poilievre has capitulated to every one of Big Oil’s demands

Pierre Poilievre is Big Oil’s useful idiot

With an inner circle stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s no wonder that Pierre Poilievre voted against the environment 400 times.

Ford's very good at finding backhanded ways of promoting himself... millions spent on symbolism... its only to make himself look good to gullible Ontario voters...

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

I don’t know how I missed this one but the Texas National Lard got recalled due to the nonstop ridicule from social media regarding their chunky physiques.

Pierre Poilievre says he wants to “restore merit.” He needed to be handed arguably the safest, most impossible to lose conservative seat in all of Canada after losing his own seat.

Seems like the opposite of merit. #Poilievre

(oh, and he still refuses to complete a check for a security clearance)

The contrast between the “Come Vacation in sunny Florida!” ads and the videos of people being tear gassed and thrown into unmarked vans by masked goons on my Facebook feed are rather dystopian. There isn’t a single thing that could convince me to visit the USA now or in the foreseeable future

Pathetic: Smith regime is prepared to damage kid's education& knowlingly inflict pain on parents to push their bent privatization ideology... Pathetic that Smith & company are offering what amount to be short term bribes to sway voters... its like a store's loss leader.

Once again, the Ontario government is prioritizing industry over people and the environment. This time, the attack is on water.

We need to tell the government that water is not for sale! To take action, submit a comment through the ERO portal by August 1st 👉 bit.ly/4laDeSF

We've switched to a heat pump and find there's a lot of devil in details items to understand... like when the system switches from electrical power to the back up gas furnace... we're trying to learn how its best to have it all set up.

#Ontario: Think that a #HeatPump will cost you more than a #Gas furnace? Don't always believe what a gas company will tell you. They depend on your gas hookup!
