All of this is prescient and true, but part of the dumbing down of the citizenry is gimmickry like too-loud over-dramatic public domain music where the information could easily have stood on its un-corny own

"Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has a playbook. Step one: Induce fear by suggesting that crime is at historic highs. Step two: Blame the Liberals. Step three: Promise solutions that ignore what the law already does."

I will never forgive Poilievre and the cons for the direction they’ve taken politics in Canada. From the get-go, he needed to say, ‘happy to serve you coffee, but you’ve gotta get rid of the F-Trudeau flags first’. Instead, he goaded his base & sat back while escalated their assault on Ottawa. 1/

Our human rights are only as good as the rights of the most hated person in our country. You may be thinking “Well, I don’t go around m*rdering people” But remember that once a leader overrides ANY Canadian’s human rights then everyone is vulnerable to having their rights overridden. #canada

Good advice at any time, but especially now. Check the sources, fact check by searching independent sources (not just links in the first source), and be sceptical of anything that outrages you.

To a lawyer, this is the most dangerous plank in the piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s platform. If implemented, it would represent the complete Americanization of Canada’s legal system. We don’t appoint judges to be ‘strict’. We appoint them to find the facts and apply the law, including the Charter.

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

Reminder as we watch measles rates climb in Canada that this is Poilievre's attitude towards vaccination during a public health emergency. MMR vaccination has long been mandated for health care workers. Would a Poilievre govt ban the MMR mandate in health care during a huge measles outbreak?
