Anybody surprised that the Five Premiers urging PM Carney to withdraw court submission on the notwithstanding clause are all Conservative: Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan? I wasn't.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

Pierre Poilievre posted this garbage yesterday on X ending with: “I wish Chris and Tamara a peaceful and happy life.”

I tell you what, their occupation and insurrection attempt in Ottawa was anything but peaceful or happy!

Exactly what Danielle Smith is after in Alberta and many Albertans seem to be ok with this. 🙄

Canadians! This is PP’s mentor and he is being guided by the Heritage foundation, the Conservatives’ manifesto. Guarantee that the Cons in Canada are after our CPP funds too. They will gut the pension fund and be rewarded by their leaders for handing it over.

Sounds like the Conservative way.

I have 2 nieces who have never travelled out of Quebec and I personally think they have very little use for anyone speaking English. I think they are missing out on life.

Ohhh, never heard that name but yeah seems to fit it.

Just al, Ontario @chakula.bsky.social · 1d

Of course the federal government won't do anything about it because they want the votes.

Just al, Ontario @chakula.bsky.social · 1d

This type of news never gets out or read by the Ontario voters. Ford is a sly fox which explains how he has been re-elected 3 times.

Just al, Ontario @chakula.bsky.social · 1d

This is so hard to understand. A language police!!!! Sounds like some weird third world country.

I had never heard of this clause until the Conservatives and Quebec premiere decided to use it because they were not happy with our laws.

Just al, Ontario @chakula.bsky.social · 2d

All because the government wants to limit these Yahoo's from using the Notwithstanding Clause to step in people's rights.

This is a great read. PP is working against Canada, not just Carney. Every time he opens his mouth, MAGA is cheering.

Pierre Poilievre’s Letter Isn’t Helping Canada. It’s Sabotaging It.

Pierre Poilievre's pathetic letter wasn't for Canada. It was to sabotage Mark Carney and, it was a gift-wrapped favour for Donald Trump.

44% of Canadians would trust Pierre Poilievre handling our economy. WTF are Canadians thinking!

Just al, Ontario @chakula.bsky.social · 2d

Poilievre makes me so angry that I can't read or hear anything he has to say. Always negative.

Thanks for the heads up.

Just al, Ontario @chakula.bsky.social · 2d

Knowing how difficult it would be to negotiate with Trump, he throws out wants instead of throwing his support to our PM. I am sick of Poilievre and his slogans.

Just al, Ontario @chakula.bsky.social · 3d

Canada is one of the most educated countries in the world, so why are Canadians listening to Poilievre?
