"Poilievre said Kirk was killed "because he expressed a contrary point of view."
He said it's not acceptable in a democracy to censor or attack someone who disagrees with you." CBC interview with Catherine Cullen
KIRK spread lies and putrid hate.
Is Poilievre a fitting mortal compass @CPC?

Well trump in the words of John Prine.
“Your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore. They’re already overcrowded from your dirty, little war. Now Jesus don’t like killin’, no matter what the reason’s for. And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore.”

Dear American friends,
Canadians are fed up with your president’s attempts to destroy our economy & annex our country.
Canadians are also tired of your ignorance of the rest of the world.
We are also shocked by how quickly you are descending into fascism.

Men, listen up: this isn’t a loneliness epidemic, it’s a consequence epidemic.
You built a system that isolates, dominates, and devalues.
Now you’re feeling the fallout.

![MEMORANDUM OPINION
No American President has ever before issued executive orders like the one at issue in this lawsuit targeting a prominent law firm with adverse actions to be executed by all Executive branch agencies but, in purpose and effect, this action draws from a playbook as old as Shakespeare, who penned the phrase: The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."" WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, HENRY VI, PART 2, act 4, sc. 2, 1. 75. When Shakespeare's character, a rebel leader intent on becoming king, see id. 1. 74, hears this suggestion, he promptly incorporates this tactic as part of his plan to assume power, leading in the same scene to the rebel leader demanding ""[a]way with him," referring to an educated clerk, who ""can make obligations and write court hand," id, 1, 90, 106. Eliminating lawyers as the guardians of the rule of law removes a major impediment to the path to more power. See Walters v. Nat'1 Ass'n of Radiation Survivors, 473 U.S. 305, 371 n.24 (1985) (Stevens, J., dissenting) (explaining the import of the same Shakespearean statement to be "that disposing of lawyers is a step in the direction of a totalitarian form of government").
The importance of independent lawyers to ensuring the American judicial system's fair and impartial administration of justice has been recognized in this country since its founding era. In 1770, John Adams made the singularly unpopular decision to represent eight British soldiers charged with murder for their roles in the Boston Massacre](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dozrbbuzuojdwr2psqkapfxo/bafkreibkdm2tqnxm62q3cgnjy6lfy2fgb6tdr3lzuinpowtx2mzq7n6oxm@jpeg)
