Pierre Poilievre's pathetic letter wasn't for Canada. It was to sabotage Mark Carney and, it was a gift-wrapped favour for Donald Trump.

It is time DEMOCRATS. The GOP have been reduced to sniveling minions who pay homage to the great orange one and fear to criticize his illegal policies. They do not play by the rules. Time to DO WHAT EVER IS NECESSARY to stop this insanity.

He has zero intention of releasing anything. If he was going to, he just would. As for the whole extortion political blackmail thing…..it’s been going on for decades because NO ONE has integrity anymore so who cares. I can be as complacent as they can.
