Rally to Save People and the Planet on May 31st Kitchener City Hall. This is in opposition to Bill 5 (which impacts the environment and labour laws) and Bill 6 (which is trying to criminalize homelessness). They are both massive power grabs by Doug Ford. Everyone is welcome but hate speech isn't.

It also explains why Pierre Poilievre and ALL CONservatives have enjoyed close ties to Modi and India.
Modi becoming the next Putin has been on everyone's bingo card for years, which is why Trump and Musk have been sucking up to him
He's a notorious, ethnic-cleansing autocrat, and while Pakistan is by no means blameless, Modi should have long ago been universally regarded as a threat to world peace

srsly this is really important
just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful
Bessent says that little girls who are sad about having fewer dolls should just have it explained to them that they will have a better life for it

Does CTV work for the Poilievre campaign? Or are they just spineless hypocrites?
Rachel Gilmore's fact-checking segment on CTV was cancelled this week because of Conservative hate sparked by the Poilievre team on Twitter.

Poilievre just called CTV News’ Judy Trinh a “protester” because she dared try to ask him a question outside of the incredibly rigid four-questions-no-follow-up process his party has.

Seeing people voting early is great.
Something that hasn't been talked about at all is the fact April is final exam month for university students.
Don't believe the polls. If university students don't vote, advantage Poilievre. So, get out and vote. And take people with you!

Do Canadians realize if the Conservatives win a majority govt, they could pass a federal abortion ban or tightly restrict it Women could lose our bodily autonomy.
Poilievre may pay grudging lip service to abortion rights but his party MPs have held anti-abortion protests. Don't trust Cons one bit.
