I want you to think about RHPM Carney experience of Head of the Bank of England AND the Head of the Bank of Canada at during Brexit & '08 crash for his understanding of the economy.
Then realize THIS FOOL was the other leading choice for #Canadians as a PM.

Apparently the #DanielleSmith threat to “Alberta's govt will not agree to provide the necessary funding to support any new judicial positions in the province” is merely a “negotiating tactic”.
Smith is flippantly threatening the federal govt as a tactic. How does anyone trust her?

I was in #Toronto earlier this week and the bike lanes still hadn’t been cleared 10 or so days after the big storm.
People on bikes were riding on the sidewalks or mixing with car/streetcar traffic.
Dangerous, and exactly the opposite of what you’d expect under an @mayoroliviachow.ca mayoralty.

This is not just about limiting healthcare. We are also getting citizenship markers on our licenses, a police force no one wants, and our premier literally idolizes Kristi Noem. We are the front line against fascism in Canada. We need action and support before it’s too late.
