After our last post, MAGA voices rushed to claim that Trump had nothing to do with the traffic stop involving Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son, where federal agents demanded proof of his citizenship. Let’s be clear about why this is not a coincidence.

ROSIE: There are some people who believe that Mark Carney has the solutions to those problems.

POILIEVRE: Well he is the one who's causing the problems... I'm the only one who's going to reverse that inflationary policy.

one of Fords major promises in his initial campaign... along with promising not to touch the Greenbelt... was ending hallway medicine

He's never even tried. Not for one minute. Along with touching that Greenbelt the minute he was in office.

And you keep giving him a majority gov, ON. Why?

One oft-repeated (and arguably sound) rationale is that the lack of appealing alternatives has fuelled voter apathy. In ON, that’s been the case, compounded by Ford manipulating.

My view is that, even if the alternatives aren’t ideal, it sends a message that electorate won’t tolerate corruption.

Conservatism has become a cult devoid of original thought and incapable of offering original policy that doesn't propose that Canada go backwards in time. Common sense is believing Conservatives when they represent themselves as dysfunctional.
