I don’t think you saw the last few attacks on me in the last 24 hours where people (who I’ve now blocked) were hurling expletives at me that even I don’t utter. I’ve had enough.

I still feel obligated to respond to everyone.

I gotta say, I’m sick of arguing with the right wing trolls on X, but arguing with the left wing trolls here on Bsky when I’m a fellow progressive is even worse.

I’m taking a hiatus from this site. I’m not going to battle on two fronts as I have a life.

LOL, is this satire? Ideology should always be rejected in favour of pragmatic principles that put the country first, not some textbook fairytale that you think should apply to every situation in life. How embarrassing for you.

You’re delusional.

Vulgar.

The great thing about a centrist party like the Liberals is that we can turn the steering wheel in both directions to navigate this great nation. The other parties’ wheels can only turn left or only right; you can’t steer a massive, dynamic ship with a locked steering wheel. 🇨🇦❤️‍🔥

Are they taking all this time to release the Epstein Files so they can redact every mention of Donald?

A friendly reminder about both trash IDU right wing parties on each side of the border:

- Poilievre still needs his security clearance (he’s hiding something)

- The Epstein Files still need to be released (Donald is in them)

As much as I despise Donald, I can’t stand Poilievre even more. There’s no excuse for any Canadian to be so stupid, toxic and cold-hearted.

LOL Poilievre thinks duck hunters and farmers need AR-15s. Cons will stop at nothing to make us more like MAGA Americans. Watching the platitudes Cons at all levels of govt are spewing is cringeworthy.

A Grindr of Republicans. 😂

Does anyone believe Abacus or Angus Reid’s Kurli Snach (or whatever her name is) reporting that their polls show the Cons are ahead of the Libs? Even when their leader is reviled. The only 2 pollster outliers and they’re both Cons. Why does CBC give them the time of day?

Stephano Barberis 🍁 @hellostephano.bsky.social · 21d

The fact that Poilievre couldn’t even show a modicum of respect or dignity about Freeland leaving shows how unkind, mean-hearted, toxic and punitive this angry little man is. This isn’t PM or parliamentary material; he’s an undiplomatic, self-impressed boor with no principles.

What a great ally, eh?
America needs to force its friends to buy from them. That’s not a friend; that’s a bully and an enemy.

Please don’t buy these jets, @mark-carney.bsky.social @liberalca.bsky.social

Four fighter jets fly in a blue sky:

“U.S. warns Canada of potential negative consequences if it dumps F-35 fighter jet
The review of Canada's proposed purchase of 88 U.S.-built F-35s is set to be finalized by Sept. 22.”

USA: "Join us as our 51st state"
Canada: "Don't touch me, man!"

(USA is a diseased monster/human holding onto Canada, who’s a normal guy trying to pull away from the monster).

Whatever Donald tears down will be rebuilt when he’s gone. Ballrooms, concrete-paved gardens and anything representing him will be torn down by the people brick by brick and kept as valuable souvenirs; reminders of “never again.”

***Don’t forget:***

Andrew Scheer was caught lying about his US citizenship; caught bilking Con party donations to pay for his children’s schooling, clothing and a minivan; lied about his past educational qualifications and (non-)accomplishments; and was kicked out as leader.

A real-time fact checker would have a stroke and polygraph machine would explode if they were listening to Scheer earlier today on #PnPCBC with David Cochrane. And he lies with that creepy, tiny, Grinch-like, self-impressed, sweaty grin. He’s a cheap, toxic, unserious fiend.

Sorry, but why are all these super right-wingers suddenly having a health crisis from stress due to one shooting. There’s a mass shooting daily that they’re silent about, even involving children, but now they’re vocal?

Trump may call the border between Canada and America an “artificial line” but it’s the most powerful artificial line ever; it keeps demons and evil away from us Canadians.
