He's a surrender monkey. Pierre Poilievre's plan is to roll over to Trump's incoherent request. Under a CPC gov't, we can expect to just keep rolling over to worse and worse demands from Trump.

Really can't say enough about how great pedestrianization has been. The best part is that is that the pedestrian-only streets are scattered throughout the city. This is the one near my hood:

If you listen to appeasers' arguments, we should try to do what Trump wants us to do, especially to preserve the oil and gas industry. An industry that has no long-term future, one that has prevented Canada from strengthening and diversifying its economy. 1/n

Here's my latest for Truthout -- Americans have way more access to fluoiridated water than Canadians do. They also spend more public money on dental care. While the new public benefit will change that, we need to vastly increase access to fluoridated drinking water. My latest.

Pierre Poilievre’s chief strategist (and ex gf lol), Jenni Byrne, saw former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole being nice to a Liberal. Byrnes response? “For anyone unsure why Erin is no longer Leader of the Conservative Party… She supported DEI policies (…)” Fucking trash dude

What Trudeau's tenure taught me is that market based solutions lack durability. The phase out of coal will be hard to undo. The carbon tax can be undone quickly and will ripple through the economy. Climate policies need to be regulations, standards, and mandates.

I’d argue this is because Poilievre is cosplaying as caring about the working class with all his talk about affordability and housing. The problem is that if you actually listen to him, the solution he offers is trickle down economics. But the Liberals are like “nah the economy is fine”

Anyway, I watched Pierre Poilievre’s interview with Jordan Peterson so you don’t have to, and picked out some of the wildest parts so you know what the guy poised to be the next Prime Minister of Canada is actually saying.

Capitalism makes it illegal, literally, to put human and environmental well-being above profit. We cannot trust essential services to such a system, which is why we need public ownership. A lot of privatization must be reversed.

I think the carbon tax is a perfect example of how political compromise in the era of bad-faith politics doesn't work, so you might as well do the more-progressive, bold thing. The Liberals put in place a price on carbon, which is really a Conservative, market-based response to climate change.

I recall another big bust a few yrs ago. On the 300 block, all debts called. Nobody was fronted. Dopesickness rippled out. Down got more contaminated, more lethal. Dealers fought over who'd fill the gap. Bullets flew. But drugs were still available without pause. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
