Have you noticed that Trump is trying to lay claim to any areas that have a coastline that comes along with exclusive economic zones? When I say it's about Russia wanting access to the world's resources, I'm not joking. Saudi Arabia has already said they plan to own all the energy.

That includes murder, even though the sentence will be one served in a federal institution. Pierre is too stupid and vapid to learn how criminal law actually works. Too many politicians are the same way.

He doesn't understand that the Crown he's criticising is a provincial employee and has absolutely nothing to do with the federal government. The majority of offences in the Criminal Code are prosecuted by the provinces - the statute is federal but jurisdiction to prosecute is provincial.

Sadly, lined up behind him is a long queue of Reformers that are as bad, even worse, than Poilievre.

Worse because they are more charismatic (a dead cockroach is more charismatic...) but hold deeply dark anti-democratic beliefs (Polievre's only belief is in himself).

4 billion dollars lost to the economy. Mr Fiscal Responsibility conveniently forgets that fact. And the citizens of Ottawa did not find it a peaceful protest at all. Shall we blare truck horns on your lawn 24/7 for weeks? Grow up PP

I cannot believe they got away with no jail time. Disgusting.

And the Crown the dickhead is ranting about is a PROVINCIAL employee. God, he's an ass.

Why hasn’t anyone in Ottawa sued Lich & Co (and PP)? Actions should have real consequences. Not the sympathies of a moron with no moral compass who fueled the protest in the first place. And by the way, where’s his security clearance?

Mr. Tough-on-Crime wishes the convoy leaders a peaceful and happy life.

@PierrePoilievre
Tamara Lich and Chris Barber peacefully protested the imposition of emergency measures that the Federal Court found to be unlawful and unconstitutional.

Instead of pursuing rapists, drug dealers and other monsters, the Crown sought lengthy prison sentences.

Justice Perkins-McVey rightly rejected the Crown's request, and sent Tamara and Chris home to their families.

We must get to a justice system that ensures the security and freedom of all Canadians.

I wish Chris and Tamara a peaceful and happy life.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

Carney pitched reviving Keystone XL to get the tariff removed from steel and aluminum. So much for no pipeline.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Moose are the #1 deadliest animal in Canada! Polar Bears are #2.

Why can't we have them all? We were told our current PM was a champion for the fight against climate change but trying to cut deals with Trump to revive Keystone XL says otherwise.

Not the way Carney wants to do it, that's for sure. The people who live in Churchill are the ones who have invested the time and effort to keep it going and not just turning into a ghost town when OMNITrax pulled out.
