Get rid of the cameras in the HOC.
So much "debate" is simply grandstanding. It's not contributing to good governing.

Every day, Poilievre provides us with another reason to dislike him.
He is deliberately loathsome.

Important info well stated. Family medicine is the foundation of health care.

Re the PM and the Prez - Excellent analogy. Recognize that they are not ptocessing reality. Honour their fantasies.

I was thinking that I’ve dealt with people with Dementia/Alzheimers and the way PM Carney handled Trump is EXACTLY the was you do it
Backing Trump into a corner is only going to end up with an explosive situation. PM Carney “handled” Trump like a seasoned nurse on a dementia ward with a patient

Plus, Canadian food is safer - real inspections, fewer additives, etc We'd be stupid to take US dairy.

The Cons need to muzzle Poilievre and put him on a shorter leash until they can find a fenced yard to keep him in. (That yard is definitely not at Stornoway.)

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Hey G&M, could you please FACT CHECK YOUR STORIES. It's not enough to get the quotes correct, you need to check the claims.

We need our news services to guard against disinformation and lying. If you don't do it, who will?

Come on, CBC, start fact checking. You are not stenographers .You make me feel ashamed to have worked there.
It's not sufficient to get the quotes correct. You need to point out when what's in the quote is false, incomplete, misleading or just plain designed to rile up the RWNJs. DO YOUR JOB.

There's no Alberta oil, no Saskatchewan canola, no Sask potash - just Canadian oil, canola and potash. Sure!

“A media empire is being built that could decide what you get to see and what you don’t.”

@premthakker.bsky.social breaks down the MAGA media empire being built in plain sight and how billionaire Republicans are trying to push for more pro-Israel media.

Amplified by Hollywood so some people in other parts of the world were also fooled.

I’ve always said that one of the things Americans do best is make up myths about themselves and then believe them. The ideal of America is wonderful. Freedom for all, opportunity, endless possibilities if you go out there and make things happen.

The reality has *never* been like that.

What is wrong with CBC, CTV? Our Canadian news gives Poilievre too much air time to spew his lies freely. The news outlet should at least be fact-checking him. It this time of lies and misinformation, he gets away with this! Our news outlets are as bad as the US programs.

Letting cameras into the House of Commons (1977) turned Parliament into a clown show.
Challenging times call for thoughtful insights and useful input from the Opposition, not relentless disinformation.
Get the Speaker of the House some real-time fact checkers. And remove PP's divisive ranting.

I support universal healthcare and a universal basic income. If that makes me a radical leftist, so be it.
