🧵 It’s always amusing to see people like @anthonyfurey (Toronto Mayoral candidate) appeal to @jordanbpeterson as an authority on anything. A seldom mentioned fact about Dr. Peterson is that before he became a “public intellectual”, he tried to run a different gig …

🧵The key difference between Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre is that JT actually hears valid criticisms and course corrects when warranted, whereas PP, like the reckless captain of the Titanic, will hear the warnings, double down, and cruise right into the iceberg. 🤷🏼🍁🙄🍁🤷🏼

There’s something endearing about 🇨🇦Canada as a nation that indulges the kooks, who shut down the seat of government for weeks, with a retrospective, microscopic inquiry, when most countries would have been tear gassing and cracking heads within a day and been done with it.🍁🤷🏼🍁

Good grief: Warren Kinsella, of all people, in the Toronto Sun, of all places, exposing facts showing that the Conservative Party of Canada is now owned, lock, stock and barrel, by the KuKluxKonvoy. 🤷🏼🙄😳🙄🤷🏼 #cdnpoli @CPC_HQ #FreedomConvoy

Something deliciously ironic about all the mouth breathers who’ve hated the name Trudeau since forever gabbling away about “muh Charter rights”, not realizing who brought us the Charter in the first place. 🍁🤷🍁

Hey, 🇨🇦Canadian women: the noted pollster @AngusReid says that when you’re stalked or harassed or threatened in the street while going about your business, you have to say “quit bothering me” or it’s all your own fault. Ponder that the next time you see one of his doctored polls.

The video shows a damning picture of police behaviour. Freeland could at least have said something like “ quit bothering me” before the RCMP security guy acted like a thug when he assaulted Menzies. The bald cop and Freeland will wear this a lot longer than the hapless reporter.

Hey, kids of the #KuKluxKonvoy ! Have you noticed how @PierrePoilievre , who was so vocal in support of you last winter when he was running to lead the Conservative Party, has now gone completely silent on all that as the #POECommission grinds along? Yer on yer own now… 🍁😏🍁

Stephen Harper is attending the Danielle Smiths Take Back Alberta conference. Pierre Poilievre is attending the Scott Moe freedom convoy conference. These 4 are working hard at separating Canada. They are the most dangerous politicians in my lifetime. Canadians should be worried.
