This move to ban the press from travelling with him during the election follows in the footsteps of Trump. Just like Trump spreads misinformation and attacks journalists, Poilievre has also said he plans to defund the CBC.

Excellent thread on where and how DOGE-like government gutting is coming for your country. Stop it before it's too late.
Elon Musk’s DOGE is tearing through the US government with disastrous consequences.

But beyond its borders, the extreme right is gearing up to push their own DOGE-inspired austerity campaigns in countries around the world.
DOGE is going global. It needs to be stopped.

"Top officials of our oldest allies say privately they fear that we are becoming not just unstable, but actually their enemy. The only person who gets treated with kid gloves is Putin, and America's traditional friends are in shock," our columnist @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social writes.

Following the bizarre Trudeau/Trump phone call, a scrum:

Reporter: "You're foreign affairs minister called this a psycho-drama. What do you call it?"
Trudeau: "Thursday."

You gotta love the guy, (Trudeau) even if you hated him before. He's holding things together with string.
