Say what you will about about our political leaders, but to refer to *any* Canadian Prime Minister as a Marxist not only shows a massive misunderstanding of the term but indeed is an insult to all those who have been subject to the political ideology. #cdnpoli

Iโ€™m sure most people have seen this and shaken their heads. They are as deceitful and disgusting as they come. Calling both the current PM and his father โ€œMarxistโ€ is beyond the pale; however, zero chance that heโ€™ll apologize. Heโ€™ll double down.

@AndrewScheer Man, youโ€™re pathetic. The man is his friend and it was cleared with the Ethics Commissioner. In advance. It makes no difference what it would have cost someone else. A Trudeau Foundation donor, is he? Good for him. Youโ€™re still stuck on that?

Truth be told, our family would probably benefit financially under a CPC government. That's not enough of a reason for me to vote for them.

When asked about the bill last week, PP had not even seen the text. But he did say this: "Trudeau should 'look into his own heart and ask himself why he was such a hateful racist'" How very constructive.

The Canadian Ukrainian Congress took the high road in its official release, not mentioning the embarrassing CPC by name. They did state: "We are disappointed that the vote in favour of the Bill was not unanimous."

Why do tradesmen always tell you how difficult something is going to be when they show up to do the work? This is well after the estimate has been made and work contracted for. I know it is difficult. That is why I am paying you to do it.

Those clamouring for carbon pricing to be removed from natural gas as well should know that theyโ€™re already paying far, far less than those who heat with oil. Even without carbon tax, heating oil still the most expensive way to heat your home | CBC News
