Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is hosting a "Canada First" rally in Ottawa today as U.S. President Donald Trump's threats fuel a surge in patriotism and shift the political landscape north of the border.

Last federal election, I was pulling back as the Conservative volunteer at my door was ranting about immigrants; he put his foot in my doorway so I couldn’t close it.
I let him rant only because I was afraid if I slammed the door in his face, he could push in and attack. They are aggressive fucks.
Yeah, it’s a classic “no one believes women, and I just can’t get in a fight with another white, blonde, fit 20-something man entitled to my attention, then turning around to claim he didn’t care about talking to me.”
I rarely report crimes, pretty much only when I need to for insurance or forced.
Unfortunately, I did not. My instinct is to not bother, after my experience of local police not caring that my 11yo self was getting rape threats from a stalker, and subsequent gaslighting.
I have questioned reporting it since, as he can’t be identified now. I doubt they still have records.
That man has never seen a bandwagon he didn't want to jump on, aside from turning on Elon and Trump. Even this 'Canada First' thing will be lots of tough talk but no actual condemnation of them.
So totally disgusted with pp and conservatives with their mimicking of tRump and the R's. Spouting all the bullshit lies, deceit and gaslighting we've seen since 2015. We know the results and why we're fighting back. Only blind idiots would want it.
This is the same guy that has also said (much like Trump has said about the US) that Canada is broken, so which is it? Are we broken? Cause I don’t believe anyone who would say that is going to put Canada first.
Is it just me, or does he seem like he's missed his moment?
It's more than a little disingenuous of him to suddenly be "Go Canada", after 2 years of tearing Canada down with Trump style rhetoric.
"He uses the same rhetoric as trump. He is exactly like trump. He will never have my vote"
Milhouse is exactly like Doug Ford. They loved Trump, & celebrated his win. The leopard just wasn't supposed to eat 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 faces though. Both want elections as fast as possible before Canadians work it out.
So this clown thinks that after telling us how broken is for years now he's proud of it? Spare me. He doesn't deserve to lead Canada, nor does Canada need his brand of "leadership" #neverpoilievre #neverpp #neverconservative
Nobody's falling for his shit anymore. Canadians have seen how Trump is failing everyone who aren't the ultra-rich and bigots.
We know PP has been a Maple Maga. Without being able to play the Trump handbook, he has nothing
L'idole d'un peuple: Je vais réduire l'immigration, déporter les illégaux, réduire la taille de l'état, couper l'aide aux pays dans le besoin, je suis le seul a pouvoir tout régler, le Canada d'abord, ça vous dit quelque chose ou ça vous rappelle quelqu'un?
I can’t find the video right now but @rachelgilmore.bsky.social did a great video explaining that journalists are trained to not mind read, because they cannot be sure of a person’s thoughts, so this is why news was reluctant to call Musk’s Nazi salute what it was. Same here.
I understand what you are saying, however, it’s not about mind reading and interpretation. It’s a play on america first that has a long history of established meaning, used by pro-nazi’s and the kkk.
We need to stand against it and CBC definitely doesn’t need to normalize it.
For reference, I agree with you. I just think this is their mentality.
There is some hope though: I find there are more direct communication and opinions in subsequent days for most events. It is just a shame that they lose that moment where you can capitalize on that attention.
Hm. Musk’s DOGE name and seal is a dog meme, called doge. And doge is related to cryptocurrency. Musk and trump are pushing cryptocurrency and first this Musk did was take over Treasury. No real substantial effort should be needed to connect the dots.
This guy threatened to assault little PP's wife months before this picture. If weiner will not stick up for his own wife, how quickly will he roll over to trump?
What a joke. I posted my flag today and already had a Maple Maggot post his Make Canada Great again.
I managed to ignore and block.
Not going to let those A-Holes ruin my day.
We put flag in the window, drove around neighbourhood, see how many ppl were celebrating flag day. There were none. This is Alberta & we’re in a more working-class area, so I’m thinking maybe they’re working. Alberta will be hard nut to crack, even if ppl dislike PP, they’ll still vote Conservative.
I will never forget him standing with free dumbers who fly our flag upside down. I will never forget him being endorsed by Musk and minions. I will never forget him supporting his members flirting with alt right racists here and from abroad. Trying to change his tune now is too little too late.
Using "Canada First" as a campaign slogan isn't a patriotic call to arms...it's paying homage to Trump and "America First". I'm looking for a warrior to take Trump on, not bend the knee.
Con leader can bite me. It was a 'First rally' disguised ised as a Con First rally.
I'm a patriotic Canadian which is I won't be voting Con.
Canada is strong and free and we help other nations. Except Russia, US and India to name a few.
I'm not Canada First. I don't follow the facist dick in the US

First the Canada!

If Canadians stay informed PP will suffer at the polls.
