Ah the Corruption Party, doing their normal swindle. Hey, anyone remember the Crypto Scam PP helped with before he became Party Leader?

tonele.bsky.social•146 days ago

I appreciate what you do in presenting facts, but fear there are too many willing to vote against Trudeau rather than thinking of it as a vote for Pierre. In doing so, not understanding it’s a vote against their own interest. People have a short memory when it comes to what conservatives in power do

What's funny is that Tobi & Harley cozied up to PMJT in 2015-2016 when it was cool to do so! 😀 A dig through the Ottawa Citizen archives might be in order.

daverooney.dev•146 days ago

This makes me sad. I worked at Shopify from 2012-2014. I had frequent discussions and interactions with Tobi & Harley. My time with them back then suggested nothing of what we see now. 😞

Lutke is wannabe Musk, and like Musk, believes that money infers some sort of insight and intelligence that the rest of us plebs cannot understand and therefore must submit to. The new money group are crass assholes who lack refinement, empathy, and conscience

daverooney.dev•145 days ago

Perhaps. When I was working with them they both were wannabe Richard Bransons 🤷‍♂️

cooperlk99.bsky.social•144 days ago

Too much money has a way of making the Uber rich think they are smarter and more insightful than everyone else and deserve to shape society the way they want it to be. Which is why there should no billionaires.

daverooney.dev•144 days ago

Yes. When I was working there, Shopify was only a couple of years removed from having difficulty making payroll.

lexomatic.bsky.social•146 days ago

What connection do his lobbyist staffers have to shopify?

pauldoroshenko.com•146 days ago

They want to be the Canadian Musk-like oligarchs. Ugh. This is all so ugly.

bcmaguire.bsky.social•146 days ago

I think it’s disgusting. I’ve avoided Shopify at all lengths ever since I found out they owned True North. Glad you keep bringing attention to this!

ane-sofie.bsky.social•146 days ago

Which True North?

michaeltburgess.bsky.social•146 days ago

Probably. Let’s remember the only job this dude has had outside of being in politics was a paper route.

"What do you think of all of this?"

I think getting and keeping monied interests out of politics should be one of our highest priorities. There is no greater corruptive influence than greed.

nintarii.bsky.social•145 days ago

The bigger question is will he be held accountable? Modi helped him become leader and crickets.

canadiantrashpanda.bsky.social•146 days ago

I think we're unfortunately headed for the exact same thing as what's happening in the united states. Liberals and ndp are fractured, while the cons are unified in hate and bigotry.

tailgunner.bsky.social•146 days ago

Affiliate marketing is what the Poilievre family is doing. It's like a version of Trump merch but in a more sneaky way.

georgeorgeorge.bsky.social•142 days ago

Interesting take..........

cjtoronto.bsky.social•146 days ago

There are rules for Conservatives?

Could have fooled me.

donotpanic1.bsky.social•146 days ago

Don’t know who these people are, but they don’t sound nice.

my1blueskyhandle.bsky.social•145 days ago

I'm going to go with yes. Shopify definitely has an agenda and PP knows it

drted77.bsky.social•146 days ago

Wait… are you saying serial liar Pierre Poilievre is breaking rules and possibly laws?
I’m shocked!

theoriginaldonald.bsky.social•145 days ago

tloutea.bsky.social•146 days ago

Pierre is enriching his family off the backs of discriminating against others. Gross. 💯🇨🇦

dawnmj.bsky.social•145 days ago

You really have to ask Melissa Lantsman about her brilliant scheming that tasked Ballingal et al with job of media storm that led to installing Ford&Poilevre so that Mrs PP & the like can prosper with their property developments 🤑 #CanadaConParty #deets

churanah.bsky.social•146 days ago

Great work!

Take this petulant traitor down.

alcreed.bsky.social•146 days ago

Broligarchs! That's a good word, I like that word.

annedf.bsky.social•146 days ago

Down south we're looking at the fall of the Broman Empire. Coming soon to a northern province near you.

grantmountieofanna.bsky.social•146 days ago

PP in high heels!

annedf.bsky.social•146 days ago

But the media has been relentlessly saying Trudeau is awful! Whatever should I believe! smdh!

robsm1951.bsky.social•146 days ago

They are conservatives, rules do not apply nor does the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It's time to reign in the Billionaire Bully Club, they forget who they owe their prosperity to.

amnos-storm.bsky.social•146 days ago

So not only is Shopify platforming Alex Jones, its principals are right wing supporters. I think the @meidastouch.com store is powered by Shopify...😱😱😱 @meiselasb.bsky.social @meidasjordy.bsky.social

dawnmj.bsky.social•145 days ago

And it took me just ages to read this article cuz once I saw the photo of PP with his cuffs of his suit pants stuffed into his special elevator hiking boots with the lifts in them it took me forever to stop laughing about how stupid he is.

dawnmj.bsky.social•145 days ago

NB if you want to make comparisons to Trump, this is where PP ‘shines’ 🤨 🤭

tim-young.bsky.social•146 days ago

Is this not exactly what they were screaming about with the WE thing? Such hypocrites

So cute that Anaida has a little project to keep her busy! Maybe we should all boycott Shopify. Oh, never mind...😆

brorodeo.bsky.social•146 days ago

They've been Nazi symps for a decade, at least. I'm so disappointed in small businesses who have become dependent on them. We need a BlueSky for merchandise and sales.
