Poilievre just wrapped his final press conference of the campaign, in Saskatoon.
I went to more of these (13) than any other journalist in Canada, for @nationalobserver.com.
Didn’t get a single question.
Which meant not one person asked PP about climate policy outside of the debates.

The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?

Just in case anyone is bamboozled by Trump's manipulative lies about preferring to negotiate with PM Carney & LPC MPs because Poilievre has said negative things about him.
There is nothing further from the truth. Trump is mimicking Putin who claimed he preferred Harris

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

Protesters are outside the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) after the Trump admin brought the agency to a halt. Most of the offices above us are dark.
