Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated? That wasn’t funny. It was scary.

Never forget, this is Jenni Byrne, the Conservative Party of Canada’s top political advisor and Pierre Poilievre’s campaign architect and closest ally. They’re not “conservative.” They’re not “right-wing.” They’re MAGA.

Think about the credibility Mark Carney has internationally, and how effectively after becoming Prime Minister he established smart, strategic ties with Europe and other parts of the world. Think about the leadership he can provide internationally. Now picture “Canada First” Poilievre trying that.
