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.

I believe that this pipeline proposal is, literally, a pipe dream. BC and FNs will never approve it. Millions of ABs have no interest in paying for it. I suspect the majority of Canadians oppose it. It’s just a tool to pin Mark Carney.
