Pierre Poilievre met today with the Frontier Centre for Public Policy -- the same organization that *just* put out a paper saying "anti-white male policies" are "the only systemic discrimination there is." I wonder why he's polling so poorly with women.

This will continue to cause major traffic, noise and safety issues in the downtown core. We urge all residents to avoid travel to the core. Police have avoided ticketing and towing vehicle so as not to instigate confrontations with demonstrators.

What would be the response if Trudeau was taking selfies next to “Fuck Pierre” flags, cause Pierre is doing exactly that here. Dude even went in to hang out with convoy folks with a Diagolon flag on their trailer.

The CPC's climate plan is now abundantly clear: do nothing, build up a few straw men, and wait for the world to burn. Let's talk more about that and less about their deliberate misunderstanding of the carbon tax. #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre’s climate policy is a joke

The endless debate over the carbon tax is missing the forest for the trees — and distracting us from the more important conversation we need to have about the CPC's do-nothing attitude towards

Fun fact: Banff and Jasper do not, in fact, "subsidize" the rest of the country. Their user fees only cover approximately 25% of their operating costs. The rest? Covered by the federal government.
