I used to be a swing-voter when the political landscape wasn’t charred by insanity.
Yet The “New Conservative” Movement has an interesting array of leaders:

Just a quick reminder. Canada, and its government, is NOT Christian.
While I appreciate that our Head of State, the King, is directly associated with the Anglican Church, that is…..ornamental.
Our government is secular/agnostic, as it should be.
Cool?
Thanks! 🙏🏼
Congrats to
@PierrePoilievre
for being the only politician in modern Canadian history to use the terms “tar baby”, and the n-word in the House of Commons.
In his defence….he didn’t mean to say the last one. He’s understandably exhausted after a long summer of promoting fear…
Doesn’t matter if you like Trudeau, or not. I’m not a fan.
But how do you reason with someone who doesn’t see
@PierrePoilievre
as rude, dishonest, and divisive?
Even if you support Poilievre, I struggle to understand how those attributes aren’t plainly apparent to all.…
This was the first time I actually watched the clip.
Poilievre is a rude, disrespectful little puke.
He’s stuffing his face with the guy’s apples, while interrupting him…. And answering his questions with more questions.
Disgusting little man.
To all Canadians who have opened their ears to the lies and false promises of
@ABDanielleSmith
and
@PierrePoilievre
, I implore you to:
1) Look at our friends in the UK, and ask them how that
#Brexit
sht-sandwich is working out for them.
2) Look at the GOP in the US 🫣
That’s…
My prediction is that
@PierrePoilievre

New Cons should read and travel more…..and whine a fk of a lot less.…
Well….this should have happened weeks ago.

What’s fascinating about the “hands off our kids” hate movement is that

even talking about?…
Far too many people are falling for this contorted argument:

is the golden boy of the far fringe-Right. The conspiracy theorists, white nationalists, and Christian fundamentalists.
They love him. They see him as one of their own, and there’s a reason for that.
Utter disgrace.…

1) There isn’t any tax on groceries, unless you’re eating Cheetos for dinner.
2) There isn’t a hunting rifle ban.
3) Oil infrastructure and investment has boomed under Trudeau (regrettably), whereas it was dead when the CPC were in office.
I’m not a Trudeau fan, but you sir,…

This same man also wants to rid the Bank of Canada of its independence, and promoted Bitcoin over CAD.
Awful man.
CBC is a public broadcaster. I am a regular listener to CBC Radio One, a service that helps to connect this vast country. ‘The World at Six’ is the best 30 minute news programme around. Pierre Poilievre is wrong when he assets that CBC is state media.
The Conservatives should know they’re messing up in a major way when

They built nothing.

However, I am 100%…… resolutely……. united with my fellow social liberals in despising every molecule in

That man cannot lead this country. He’s not well-intentioned.
Love seeing two national papers run unabashedly pro-Poilievre, campaign-style editorials on their front pages today.
Canadian media has gone hard right, and they’re no longer pretending to be interested in anything beyond political conjecture.
According to

The only reason we have tolerated Bell and Rogers’ oligopoly chokehold - the ridiculously expensive wireless and cable plans is because the two employ a lot of people, and pay them well.
If that’s not still the deal, it’s time for some price regulations.
Fuck em. Fuck both.
Is it just me, or would you also find it odd if our Prime Minister spent a lot of time speaking about auto theft?
Not to diminish the severity of the problem, but people stealing cars should not be a world leader’s primary concern.
That’s why we have Premiers and Mayors.

@PierrePoilievre
While I agree with the general content of your message, it is completely inappropriate for you to claim that “Canadians pledge” anything to anyone.
You’re not our Prime Minister.
Your pledge is not worth anything to foreign leaders, and their citizens.
So I’m getting two responses from the
@PierrePoilievre
fan club on this one:
1) He already has clearance, because
@brianlilley

2) Poilievre doesn’t want to get clearance because he would have to sign an NDA, and that would muzzle him.
The first one should be easy to…

This is specifically the type of bile that has become commonplace in New Conservative rhetoric.

Disgusting. Cheap. Sad.
For the first time in my life, I’m going to indulge a conspiracy theory.
Poilievre’s vacillation and coyness on Ukraine….. his calculated rudeness to Zelenskyy……
……..was an invitation to Putin to get involved in the next Canadian election.
No proof, tho I believe this.

I was shocked to learn that

One would have thought, after being caught drunk driving a few times and killing people with his car, he might learn some respect for the law.
No respect. None.
The problem with
@PierrePoilievre
being a misanthrope, is that he has no friends.
i.e. He has no buddies around to tell him that he’s a complete azzhole.
This also explains his deeply entrenched jealously of
@JustinTrudeau

Trump last night says the US is a failing nation in decline without him in charge, and the whole world laughs at the US and thinks our country is a joke.
Just to be clear, I don’t believe
@PierrePoilievre
is a bona fide racist or homophobe.
I am, however, confident that he’s a malignant narcissist, who demonstrates a shameless ambivalence to racism and homophobia.
Anything for a “Big Tent”.
