The CPC can f*ck all the way off with this fascist BS

This is a slippery slope

If the CPC want to follow Trump I suggest they move to the US

Please, please why can't this just stop! We are not the United States and last time I checked, we don't want to be.

Community Health Centres have used this model for decades to compensate physicians. Too bad there aren't more though.

After all these years Rosie the Riveter's cover has been blown!

I am not from Ottawa and I didn't visit during the so called convoy protest. But I'm Canadian and I never get over the disgusting display at the War Memorial and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and hanging the PM in effigy. There is no excuse for this utterly disgraceful behaviour. It is not peaceful!

Joan Skelton - Nasty But Nice Canadian @jskel70.bsky.social · 11h

Holy shit! (I rarely say that publicly.) That is the orange menace's playbook on full display. Unbelievable!

I follow the "placate until we can vacate" theory of trade negotiations with the toxic nation to the south of us.

Rushing the National War Memorial and tearing down the fence around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I guess Hot Air Pierre is cool with this along with the dancing on the tomb that occurred. Utterly disgraceful!

Joan Skelton - Nasty But Nice Canadian @jskel70.bsky.social · 11h

I guess Hot Air Pierre hasn't heard of the placate until we can vacate strategy when it comes to negotiating a trade deal with the orange menace.

That's the plan.

Guess he's cool with dancing on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier too, eh!

Mr. Tough-on-Crime wishes the convoy leaders a peaceful and happy life.

@PierrePoilievre
Tamara Lich and Chris Barber peacefully protested the imposition of emergency measures that the Federal Court found to be unlawful and unconstitutional.

Instead of pursuing rapists, drug dealers and other monsters, the Crown sought lengthy prison sentences.

Justice Perkins-McVey rightly rejected the Crown's request, and sent Tamara and Chris home to their families.

We must get to a justice system that ensures the security and freedom of all Canadians.

I wish Chris and Tamara a peaceful and happy life.

Trump: “He’s a tough negotiator”

Proving that PM Carney can be calm and diplomatic while standing up for Canadian’s economic interests. This is a big deal because this means Canadian jobs and putting food on the table for Canadian families.

I sincerely hope our PM never sits through another of these s--t shows until there's an actual signed deal. They are designed for the visiting leader to fail, for the most part. No deal = no oval office set up.

You don't put a sign on the housing saying "prefabricated". We're trying to build quickly because the housing was needed yesterday. This new apartment building in my town is prefab with sections built elsewhere and assembled onsite. www.harvestview.ca

This issue disgusts me. The speed cameras are a deterrent. Speed limits are in place for safety reasons. Why is the Premier of Ontario against protecting citizens? And after the Auditor General's assessment of the skills development funds, the Ontario Government shouldn't preach about cash grabs!

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

No offence intended, but we're just not interested! Oh wait, I'm wrong. Offence is intended!

Madam Premier,

There’s literally a petition 270,000 Albertans have signed to remain in Canada that you are unwilling to put your name on or support behind.

Oh no, he's at it again! Our country is threatened by the orange menace and the best the Leader of His Majesty's Loyal Official Opposition can do is post juvenile quips. Jealousy, they name is Hot Air Pierre.
