NEW - PM Trudeau: “Now this is a nice irony, Ontario actually started a cap and trade program. It was scrapped by Doug Ford when he first got elected which means the federal price on pollution that he is now complaining about is in because he got rid of the cap and trade program”

I don’t know how to frame this correctly, but if we’re going to make the internal deliberations of the Trudeau Foundation public for a legal acceptance of a donation, shouldn’t we doing this for *every* Canadian charity that’s accepted large amounts of foreign/adversarial funds?

“There are no pro-choice Conservative MPs” is certainly incendiary, but the Conservative Party of Canada did attempt to pass a law that would treat a fetus as worth protection, which would immediately be used to therefore argue that abortion is a violation of said protections

Women in politics shouldn’t be reliant on men to decide their worth based on their gender. I find it patronizing, insulting and demeaning when Trudeau expects a pat on the back or a standing ovation for placing women in his cabinet to fill a quota. Women can compete on merit.
