The lead in today's #Politico article on how #Poilievre uses alternative media: which, it says, is the #Conservatives' roadmap to the future whatever happens this #Canada #election. The below is exactly the stuff of his riding office mail-outs back in 2004, when he was my MP. #Musk

"Poilievre holding 'Canada First' rally in Ottawa."

PP has voted AGAINST affordable housing bills
& environmental protection bills & support for Ukraine bills . . . MANY times.
He vows to destroy the CBC and use the Notwithstanding Clause.

#Canada is the LAST thing on his mind.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.

We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.

2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
