Poilievre stated that Alberta has the best model for drug recovery. He cited studies that the UCP made up. Sure. Forced treatment works every time. (Visualize a spitting llama) #Canada

Why would a man campaigning to be Prime Minister of Canada, fly to the States to do a podcast with a guy that says he would rather travel to Russia than Canada? Pollievre's decision to appear on Joe Rogan's show should cement the fact that he would rather impress Maga incels, than everyday Canadians

What Pierre Poilievre leaves out here is that the previous Conservative government cut military spending to 0.99% of GDP, and the liberal government was investing heavily in the military, and was on track to have it up to 2% by 2025 until the pandemic hit

For all #conservative administrations, #Project2025 (Heritage Fdn.) is aimed implementing right-wing policies & consolidate executive power. #ChristianNationalists want control over all 🇨🇦 elections & agencies & replacing nonpartisan employees with #CPC loyalists. #cdnpoli #UCP #CanadaSky #NeverCPC

Interesting. On CNN. A good amount of time spent on Fight the Oligarchy and other Democrats doing town halls
