Can people (journalists!) PLEASE stop calling it "western separatism"? It is not western, it is Alberta. Many of us in BC find the rhetoric alarming. We don't want to join Alberta anymore than we want to join the US! Elbows up and hands off!

an unfortunate part of being morally opposed to using a website owned by someone who says “Canada is not a real country” is a lot of B.C.’s core public institutions still exclusively use that website to give incremental updates on news City of Vancouver council meetings, TransLink, BC Ferries, etc.

CANADIAN REPORTER: Trump's tone on Canada has shifted. He stopped talking about Canada becoming the 51st state. LEAVITT: I would reject that the president's position on Canada has shifted. Perhaps he just hasn't been asked about it. He believes Canadians would benefit from becoming the 51st state.

Poilievre would be a nightmare on the environment and would stop any serious action with regards to climate change. Please vote in this election and consider the next generations when you do so.

#StephenHarper and #VictorOrban are the embodiments of authoritarianism, hate, and violence. #Poilievre idolizes Harper. #PierrePoilievre is not fit to be #Canada ‘s #PrimeMinister. #cdnpoli

There was a facebook page in 2015 called "Sh** Harper Did" - it fact checked and documented the many abuses that led to him losing the election to Justin Trudeau and the Liberals. We should all remember that time or learn about it if we are young. Poilievre is the wrong guy.

This is the #CPC campaign on meth. Honestly, this is how you know there’s desperation in the campaign. Not only is this video a bad idea but they didn’t even think about how it could be clipped. The caption and this frame grab will now define it. And Scheer, with any luck. #neverpoilievre #cdnpoli

One side of Poilievre's mouth saying I am not Trump Other side saying, bring it on!! The shit we see in the US is exactly what a Conservative government would spew into Canada, they're completely disingenuous and dangerous #CDNpoli www.science.org/content/arti...

Poilievre just called CTV News’ Judy Trinh a “protester” because she dared try to ask him a question outside of the incredibly rigid four-questions-no-follow-up process his party has. Very cool stuff

Stop here and listen to the consistent voice of wisdom. Mark Carney is so analytical (and humorous). He see’s the full picture, and the long range view.

Climate change is our most enduring and catastrophic challenge even though it is not being talked about right now, and the Conservatives do not have any intention of improving the situation, they want to go backwards. Trump is temporary- climate change is an ongoing threat.

Love this rhetoric from Carney—one of the bests way they can protect Canadian lumber jobs and grow the economy is by building more housing

There is no question that Poilievre is Trump-lite. He has voted against the environment 300 times while in office… He has built his whole political persona around ‘Axe the tax’ and poisoning the public conversation against climate action #cdnpoli via @desmog.bsky.social

Poilievre's outward admiration of John A McDonald acts as a warning to average Canadians about Pierre's views on Indigenous Canadians. Unfortunately, it's also a "dogwhistle" to many White Nationalists, whether intentional or not. Research - Fact Check - Learn - Vote

I wish Stephen Harper would have just gone away. He has done so much harm to Canada and Canadians.

We really must resist. I didn't realize Canada First was a dog whistle repurposed for patriotism. "he called people concerned about climate change “environmental loons that hate our energy.” "... Canadians first — Canada first. Leave the hyphens — we don’t need to be a hyphenated society.”

I don't give a shit what he chooses or declines to rule out. It's not his fucking choice. Stop writing about it as if his opinion matters. Write about it like it is: unquestionably illegal, not a debate, not his call, not going to fucking happen.

Conrad Black was convicted of felony fraud and obstruction of justice in the US, was pardoned by Trump, is in Epstein's black book, is prohibited from being an officer or director in Canada, and got kicked out of the British House of Lords. Oh noes, Mark Carney does not share his values!

Carney, on Poilievre's (dubious) claim he is somehow beholden to China: "absolutely not." "Mr. Poilievre doesn't understand the world," he adds. "Mr. Poilievre is a lifelong politician, that's all he's ever done. He's slogans, soundbites, slander. [He] doesn't understand how the world works."
