Unemployment is down, jobs and wages are up. We’re building big and empowering more Canadians with new careers.
Even with strong global headwinds, there is encouraging progress — and we are just getting started. #cdnpoli

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the oligarchs, backed by the scum in the Kremlin and the White House, want to carve up Europe between the USA and Russia.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Dani has tasted the sweet, sweet power of the Notwithstanding clause. She is using it now with impunity. She will keep using it to exert her authority.
If we don’t work to unseat her using the most effective democratic tool we have (an election), our province is lost.

On January 29th, we'll see how many CPC's delegates still like Poilievre's bullshits and still believe that he doesn't need security clearance to lead our country.

January 29 could blow Canadian politics wide open. “Little PP” has to undergo a mandatory leadership review which could either end his run or ignite a full-blown Conservative civil war.
