Imagine thinking a guy who charges around $100K for a vehicle with glued on metal panels that just fall off is the one to be trusted anywhere near our government.

If there isn't a Liberal campaign ad featuring Danielle Smith's voice saying that "the perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America,” within the next few days, someone should be fired.
Danielle Smith is one of Pierre Poilievre's biggest fans. She also just torpedoed his election campaign.

Whoopsie daisy.

Kennedy’s prescription for #BirdFlu? Let it spread so as to identify birds that may be immune.

It is like following the protocol for starting a new pandemic. Allowing the virus to mutate over and over again. We are so screwed.

What the leader of the U.S. is saying is indefensible; as a Canadian, I am horrified and outraged.
Laura Ingraham: You’re tougher with Canada than you are with some of our biggest adversaries. Why?

Trump: “Only because it’s meant to be our 51st state…One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada”

Go ahead, MAGA—try to defend this.

Fantastic, Canada! Keep up the great work! Talk to everyone you know & ask them what they like about Trump Puppet / Musk Muppet PoiLIEvre. Then point out what a failure PP is when compared to Mark Carney. If you want leadership, experience, intelligence & integrity, you HAVE to choose Carney.

It is really concerning how much bird flu is infecting so many different creatures and now people. If it becomes even more transmissible, we are in trouble 😕
