I'm going to guess that he hasn't changed much since then in his approach to women.

Ohhh, don't let my husband of 45 years read this one please. He might change his thinking on what to look from in a life partner.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

The Cons are the least fiscally responsible in Canada. If media did its job, every Can would know that.

Harper inherited a $13.7 Billion surplus, which he quickly blew through. Then ran a decade of deficits. He then had a fake "balanced" budget ahead of the 2015 elxn by selling off GM stock at a $3.5B loss, taking $2B from the contingency fund, and underfunding Veterans Affairs. #cdnpoli 👇

Agree with her statement. But the HOC Question Period is garbage thanks to the Reformacon Party members. They're on the same unending loop of rage-baiting.

🇨🇦Canadians looking south can’t be smug: we’ve got lots of neo-Nazis too.
And they come in all shapes and sizes: just look at the KuKluxKonvoy that was allowed to terrorise our capital city for weeks on end.

What's the plan to prevent another outbreak? Perhaps a follow up story can address this critical question.

The CPC toadies around Hot Air Pierre look about as engaged in what he's saying as I would be if I had to sit through it. But like all good clapping seals they dutifully rise and applaud on cue.

The CPC can f*ck all the way off with this fascist BS

This is a slippery slope

If the CPC want to follow Trump I suggest they move to the US

Please, please why can't this just stop! We are not the United States and last time I checked, we don't want to be.

Community Health Centres have used this model for decades to compensate physicians. Too bad there aren't more though.

I am not from Ottawa and I didn't visit during the so called convoy protest. But I'm Canadian and I never get over the disgusting display at the War Memorial and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and hanging the PM in effigy. There is no excuse for this utterly disgraceful behaviour. It is not peaceful!

Joan Skelton - Nasty But Nice Canadian @jskel70.bsky.social · 2d

Holy shit! (I rarely say that publicly.) That is the orange menace's playbook on full display. Unbelievable!
