This probably deserves some attention in English Canada.

He's missed the bus. Thank Ghu. He still does not get it. He probably won't even be able to hold on to his own seat, backside and otherwise.

Science on the chopping block!! Mass science/scientist protest Trump-Musk anti-science defunding. The Trump Cabal may as well be hiring ISIS and Taliban goons to come and purge all manifestations of modern rationalism. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/31/scientists-letter-trump-administration

Anti-woke? Does he mean going back to whitewashing racist elements in Canada’s past? Residential school denialism? Anti-LGBT+? Or is it gov funding for things in place already?

Make it headline news, guys!
With all the reasons why CPC should not be trusted to govern Canada.

I guess PP’s campaigning on being an asshole.

Somebody needs to ask him to give his definition of "woke"

warnkekim.bsky.social•5 days ago

Every single one of us needs to adk his candidates what his definition is.
And if theirs differs.
And, if there is a difference, if they are willing to cross the floor if he crosses the difference.

mrscsmacdonald.bsky.social•5 days ago

The scariest is his response that “if you have eg dental benefits now, you won’t lose them.” Fine print: “if you don’t have it, you won’t be getting it.”

warnkekim.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ugh

Nobody will say it out loud, because the reality is they took a word that was meant to raise awareness towards systemic problems, and instead started using it to mock people and silence the conversation.

littleboots209.bsky.social•5 days ago

They won't say it out loud because it means racism and bigotry. They want to convince Canadians we should be against it, but they don't want to tell us that they believe we should be against it because some people are superior to others and they can't let those inferiors be equal to them.

cadguy50.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's a simple as geting out to vote. Polls reflect the libers and Carneys lead, but evryone MUST vote! 🙏

atruenorthview.bsky.social•5 days ago

He is demonstrating his ignorance of the origin & meaning of the word "woke" in social context. If he is aware of what it means, then he's revealing something extremely repugnant about his character.

hamishbuchanan.bsky.social•5 days ago

No need to ask what he means; it’s been blatantly obvious for years.

john335i.bsky.social•5 days ago

"Anything " seems a little vague. One more reason to not vote for the Conservatives

nomorex61.bsky.social•5 days ago

Any voter who falls for this B.S. needs to be “woke up”. Our families are not endangered from LGTBQ folk or immigrants, they are endangered by cuts to Canadian Health Care, climate change and future pandemics.

jackhill.bsky.social•5 days ago

Opinion of those who want to silence those who are progressive that challenge racism, & systemic inequalities,changing ‘wokeism’ into an ideology of damaging social norms & mainstream values. I.e. Trump taking over Smithsonian, Kennedy Centre, history curriculum.

240gordie.bsky.social•5 days ago

This should be all you need to know folks. But hey, you know enough already, right?

rumblestiltskin.bsky.social•5 days ago

I think over the next month the liberals should avoid any talk of woke. It is still an issue people will change their vote on in a bad way.

The liberals should be looking to win an election and not bringing up every divisive issue.

christygibson.bsky.social•5 days ago

What? Ignore equity, climate, discrimination, social services… How to campaign then? We can’t ignore what matters.

rumblestiltskin.bsky.social•5 days ago

If we want a government in place that will worry about those things we shouldn't kick up every potential divisive issue there is so we lose.

If you don't think it is divisive even in liberal circles you haven't talked to enough people.

vormora-nox.bsky.social•5 days ago

Conservatives are the only ones obsessed with "woke". Liberals just want people to live and let live.

I fear that the average Canadian doesn’t know about the racial animus behind this type of rhetoric from the USA. The Trump regime is implementing a segregationist-sexist ideology and some of them have been explicit about it.

yhzsfcyyz.bsky.social•5 days ago

Competent white men in charge? Like Enron? Worldcom? Bear Stearns? Lehman Brothers? Tell me the flagrant disregard for security protocol which resulted in Signal-gate was an example of competence so I can laugh so hard it hurts.

rpmpeasoup.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s up to May and Singh. They know what they have to do.

sasquatchgotch.bsky.social•5 days ago

PP is opposed to a term that refers broadly to equality, anti-racism, and general care and awareness of what is occurring in the world? So, he wants discrimination, white supremacy, and deliberate ignorance? What an evil sad little wet shit.

suzannekettley.bsky.social•5 days ago

Here's one of his ads, where he indicates woke obsessions have destroyed education, history, and armed forces https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjnvjbPu_50

enoughwithfools.bsky.social•5 days ago

We need to amplify this. such scare mongering, negative stuff. A populous strategy. Tell me this wasn't a page taken from Trump's playbook.

suzannekettley.bsky.social•5 days ago

And there was also his ad with his voiceover saying that woke obsessions had ruined our history, education, and armed forces. Something of that nature. That's the problem with that party; they will need to pander to the far right if they want to keep their support.

wilhelmgere.bsky.social•5 days ago

Rand Corporation in the USA (you can look it up) did studies for their military and found that none of the "woke" stuff interfered one iota in mission preparedness. None. Actually the opposite. And the US military is usually the first group that gets it, it's all about the mission, nothing else.

suzannekettley.bsky.social•5 days ago

I know. It's all dog whistling and making us afraid of "the other"

ralphpoppy.bsky.social•5 days ago

He’s obscene.

torygatesauthor.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, we need good old-fashioned racism, sexism, and misogyny like the good old days. Hell, we'll even bring smoking back into the workplace! (Based on what I've heard all my working life, I would not be surprised)
