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.

Exactly. #cdnpoli

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 · 13d

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.
My latest.

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.

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

Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada is wasting no time reaching out to any and all Leaders enraged by the bloviating bullshit boy...

These are all in the past week... He had more than 700 requests for meetings from Leaders, CEO's and more while he was in New York...

Heard many times tonight on CBC that Pierre Poilievre was clearly the most experienced politician among the party leaders as the House of Commons started up again today. I don’t think I heard them mention that it’s because he’s the one who’s never had ANY other job.

And still no security clearance.
