Trump did Netanyahu’s bidding in Iran to ensure he gets Gaza for his real estate deals. No higher calling to him. He couldn’t risk seeking permission.

My opinion. Where to next for US?

The UK doctor who just got back from Gaza said a 9 month old baby she saw weighed 3 kg. That is the weight of my Maltese dog. I had 3 children, at 9 months they weighed 9 kilos. The world is starving Gaza. WTF are we doing????

"Pierre, you need to go and sit all the way down. Oh, wait. You don't have a seat for that." Fact: There is no genocide in South Africa. Fact: There IS a genocide in Gaza. Fact: Pierre's an asshole with no soul. youtu.be/nxv0DkypV0s?...

“Six years ago, I found myself face to face with a white farmer preparing for the government to take his land. This did not happen in South Africa. It was in South Texas, and it was because of Trump…” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Yes I am pretty angry a loser like PP is leaching off of us. If he had an ounce of integrity he would move out of Stornoway.

The mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives during the pandemic and offer opportunities to create other lifesaving vaccines. The NIH grants to one of its originators, a Nobel laureate, have been canceled by the Kennedy/Trump HHS department. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/u...

Justin Trudeau came by his position honestly, was the target of an alt-wing smear campaign that ultimately succeeded in forcing him to resign and he has moved on like a normal person in spite of it. While Jeff’s leadership was bought, he was legit voted out, yet it appears he’s refusing to leave.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

no argument, but what’s really frightening is all this has been normalized. People accept this …legislators "do nothing, judges have been bought and paid for the Supreme Court is a floating disaster. There is no more rule of law. It bends at the will of oligarchs and traitors.

Just in case you thought that certain Canadian media wouldn’t have pulled the whole “but her emails” thing. Embarrassing for the NDP and Bloc, embarrassing for certain media, and a good reminder that Carney is the professional (and adult) in the room.

I’m hoping that the good people of Ottawa haven’t forgotten that Pierre Poilievre is a supporter of the Freedom Convoy.

Vote carefully, people. There won't be a do-over. Conservatives cannot win. For most ridings, that means vote Liberal. Check your riding to see who has the best shot of shutting out Poilievre and vote for that candidate. www.votewell.ca www.smartvoting.ca #CdnPoli #NeverPoilievre #VoteLiberal

Pierre Poilievre promised a 15% tax cut for working Canadians. He then waited until advance polls closed to release his platform. Turns out it’s a 2.25% cut…in 2029. The “trust me bro” platform. #PierrePoilievreIsLying Again . #NEVERpoilievre

Not only make these scumbags famous but report this incident to Elections Canada. I did. Enough is enough. This is not peaceful assembly or protest. Let’s call it what it is, harassment and abuse. They got away with far too much when JT was in. It’s time for Canada to stomp this out.

The CPC’s so-called costed plan looks more like a vanity brochure than a serious budget. It features 17 glossy photos of Pierre and 4 of his wife—more space than it devotes to real issues like education, poverty, and disability. We deserve substance, not a photo op. #cdnpoli #neverpoilievre

This is my very historically Conservative riding. It’s going to be a squeaker. Go to votewell.ca to see your own riding. Please please vote strategically. Whoever is ahead of the Cons in your riding, go with them to keep the Cons out!

For the love of God, for the next Pierre cultist who claims “he publicly stated he supports pro-choice!” Can you pass this along to them? Words are cheap. Actions speak. His voting record on choice 👇🏻 www.arcc-cdac.ca/media/anti-c...

#cdnpoli #CanadaPolitics Seeing Stephen Harper's disgusting face on tv, Reminds me he muzzled scientists, destroyed Canada's National Archives because it had inconvenient sentence in it - inconvenient because Harper and those idiots pretend Global Warming is not happening Vote Carney -

As he stumbled and lied his way through this announcement he still managed to blame Justin Trudeau (there's an unhealthy fixation there) for all Canada's woes. As always he attacks the disadvantaged with forced treatment and now prison. Now tell me he won't strip away rights at the drop of a hat.

🚨🚨🚨

Honestly, the Canada that Poilievre describes, in which terrorists and murderers are running loose on the streets is just...some kind of twisted fantasy. But I guess if you lie that much, often enough, people will believe it. Sheep.

But Poilievre's constant stream of bullshit and disinformation? Totally fine. Nothing to see here. Hermes wept...

I just realized that the Stephen Harper radio ad begins with an announcer saying “Prime Minister Stephen Harper”. No, no, no, we DO NOT DO THAT in Canada. He was prime minister, but he does not retain the title like American presidents do. Fuck I hate that. I’ve always said SH thinks he’s still PM.

The choice is clear, 🇨🇦. You can face future challenges by building, celebrating and uniting, or you can try by tearing down, vilifying and dividing. To me there is no question.

We Canadians can show any of 33 different pieces of ID to be eligible to vote. Everything from a letter from your priest to a Driver's License. I have NEVER heard of a Canadian that was NOT permitted to register AND vote on election day. A true democracy does not live in fear of its electorate. 🇨🇦

Trump is forcing Americans who are seeking their earned benefits to sign up for Elon Musk's app. Pure corruption.
