OKAY, at what point do we declare Pierre Poilievre a national security risk? This is bananas. The guy refuses to be briefed because he can't act willy-nilly with the information? Completely unfit for public office. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

In the United States families are being terrorized and targeted. And yet this shitbird grifter thinks she can win the leadership of the Liberal party of Canada through such tactics. Ruby, I knew you back in the day. You had no moral compass then. Go back under your rock. Canada has moved on.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

If she can do it, we can all do it.

Sitting down for an 'interview' with Jordan Peterson should be politically disqualifying.

The Prime Minister is 53. The opposition member is 45. You see the difference hate makes to a person?

Dear Donald, Thanks for including us in your deranged Christmas message. Being Canadian means free health care and limiting access to assault weapons. In your 51st state our kids would get shot at in school and CEOs would be shot for denying health care. So no. Now piss off. Your northern neighbour

I will vote NDP federally when Charlie Angus is leader. Until then, it’s ABC.

FYI #skpoli Scott Moe. New Brunswick Liberal government reverses changes to school gender identity policy - The Canadian Press

"[Cockrill] also accused NDP members of trying to sully his reputation." Oh, dear Jeremy, you've done that all on your own. 😂 #skpoli

👀 More to say on this in a media availability tomorrow morning... leaderpost.com/news/local-n...

Please read the opening paragraph of this gentleman's obituary, which clarifies the awful legacy of our current provincial government, led by an incompetent Sask Party that is more interested in picking on the vulnerable than trying to improve health care for anyone. Scott Moe is despicable.

Saskatchewan's conflict of interest commissioner has found Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill breached rules when a window company with family ties did business with the government three years ago. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/sas... #skpoli

Enough is enough! If you say you’re going to talk to a family Minister Cockrill, talk to them.

Wild.

As a U of R student, I find it appalling that the U of R student union has moved to defund the U of R Women's Centre and URPride. I let them know what I think and you should too (especially if you're a U of R student). The more voices they hear from, the better. Contact here: ursu.ca/contact/

Elon Musk is an insufferable tool who wants to overthrow democratic governments, who’s dislike for someone makes me like them better, and who owns a satellite internet company that should have absolutely nothing to do with any elections.

I will just point out that there were 11 days between these Mandryk opinion pieces. leaderpost.com/opinion/colu...

The Sask Party are up to their shady games already. Here, they blocked two emergency motions to “protect vulnerable people.” The Sask Party does not care about vulnerable people, but they’ll use them protect their own shady corruption. #skpoli

LRT: It needs to be emphasised that, like UK, Canada is stealthily privatising healthcare with the complicity of provincial and Federal governments, despite the USA proving every day that privatisation is an expensive, shameful failure canadahealthwatch.ca/2024/02/15/p... #cdnpoli #onpoli

If you see this post, can you please help spread this information? #ASafeChoice is a referral network of physicians who provide medication abortion services ACROSS THE US. People everywhere need to know about this option. These doctors have capacity to help more women! Let’s spread word! ❤️✊

Watching the house is embarassing these days. Wanna know how many times the conservatives have called for a "carbon tax election" since Sept. 16? 841.

I’m hearing about multiple schools with whooping cough exposures in Saskatoon. Worth getting a swab if you are experiencing symptoms www.saskhealthauthority.ca/your-health/...

There should be a wealth cap, no single individual should own more than a billion, excess wealth should be pumped directly into social services. If monopolies are illegal, billionaires should be too.

GOVERNMENT: Our aim this school year is to take tasks off the plates of teachers. TEACHERS:

Mother. Fucker.

Well there u go municipalities. Now you know what Pierre Poilievre thinks of you. #skpoli #yqrcc #yxecc

I fully support striking Canada Post workers. I also think people's pro-stance of "Who cares if Christmas is ruined? Who cares about presents and cards?" actually undermines the strike. Mail delivery *is* important. It keeps us connected. This is why the workers are essential!

It’s not the carbon tax.

Oops - mere weeks after the provincial election, the Saskatchewan government discovers the deficit was twice as large as they claimed all along. globalnews.ca/news/1089317...

WE GOT IT DONE! If you're reading this in the morning. It's 11:23pm & we just secured a GST Tax Break! For 2 months there’ll be no GST/HST on kid's clothes, diapers & other essentials. Poilievre tried to block it — we defeated him. For the record an NDP govt would make this a permanent tax cut

To summarize the first week back in session: 1. Segregated classrooms as a solution to class size and complexity. 2. More standardized testing as a solution to nothing. 3. Making sure kids go to changerooms that match their sex as assigned at birth. What garbage policy will we see next? #skpoli

Buried in Mandryk's piece is that the NDP found out that the Sask Party has known about Clarke's kids for AT LEAST TWO YEARS. Very much looks like this was a targeted attack the Sask Party had been preparing for a moment when they thought it would do damage to the NDP. These fuckers have no shame.

Apologies are not enough. A decision was made to use a colleague's children as pawns in a despicable game of politics. People need to be fired. Moe needs to resign. How much longer is Saskatchewan going to let these entitled Sask Party bastards escape accountability?

Mr. "Axe The Tax" Pierre Poilievre, had his MPs vote against axing the tax but was too cowardly to vote alongside them in person. He absented himself from the vote. Now he will claim at some point that 'no, he didn't vote against it'. #cdnpoli #peipoli

There is so much I’d like to say about Scott Moe. But I won’t stoop. He’s not worthy of the office he holds and I will celebrate the day his career as a politician ends. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Saying scurvy is treatable completely misses the point. It’s 2024, we live in a land locked province. Long gone are the days of months long voyages at sea. This 👏🏽 should 👏🏽 not 👏🏽 be 👏🏽 happening 👏🏽. 79% of those who have been diagnosed with scurvy are indigenous. Let’s talk about that.
