If you talk to a Canadian who supports Pierre Poilievre's Conservative for 30 seconds, they'll tell you they hate Trudeau, and that that he has to pay for his crimes. Hold your hat, this is one of his crimes:

I judge by the company he keeps. If you wouldn't vote for Trump in 🇺🇸, don't vote for Poilievre in 🇨🇦. My interests are not aligned with Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Musky or any other incel/conspirator/billionaires 😳

The best show in Canadian 🇨🇦 media if you like reasonable, informed experts who try to see each others' point of view, and thoughtful Canadians from across the political spectrum speaking from their heart, expertise and lived experience. #cbc

Ask yourself why #DougFord isn’t cancelling Starlink. There are less expensive Canadian alternatives, yet he aligns himself with a Nazi. This alone should be grounds for everyone to vote him out #Ontario #Canada 🇨🇦

My new ad for the Liberals🇨🇦 @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social #LPC #cdnpoli

A depression is Step 1 of the Dictator's Playbook. Step 2 is blame your "enemies", and use that rage to empower attacks and annexation of former allies (Canada, NATO, EU) Step3: You're not doing as well as you thought you would? Times are tough?It's not YOUR fault, it's THEIR fault." Every time.

All the best people. #Trump #Tariffs #Canada

And he loves Pierre Poilievre. 🧐🇨🇦

I found the finance folks who were rubbing their hands with glee at a temporary market spike troubling. Do they not see that a stable democracy is key to prosperity? Do they think money will save them from tyranny?

This is pretty harsh, so I scrolled by. Then I got to thinking about it. Would anyone who loves Canada vote against everything that makes us Canada? •Banning automatic weapons •Building housing •Feeding hungry school children •Healthcare/pharmacare/dental •Support for working parents •Education

this is a lot of work! but as we've seen in 🇺🇸 democracy is worth working for 🇨🇦

Trump and Musk have hinted at taking the election by via voting machines. How voting works in Canada: paper ballot, two government workers to count each ballot after the poll is closed (one to read aloud, one to record) under the supervision of party volunteers called Scrutineers who can object.🇨🇦

You bet we did 🇨🇦🙌 #fournations

We live in an interesting age. When Hitler dismantled Germany in 53 days - nobody knew about it probably for weeks let alone tracking in real time or even being able to fight it. We can watch a dictator in real time and proactively thwart their efforts.

Funny how the people fighting safe injection sites to keep our kids alive think this guy is the bomb.

Beating the US in the US may even have been more fun than beating them in Vancouver in 2010. #4Nations

There was a plan. Putin paid for rage content that aired on Rebel + Canada Proud to incite hate against 🇨🇦 and support for CPC, and PP was supposed to use that power to push an early election so Canadians would go to the polls BEFORE seeing what 🍑 would do in 🇺🇸 😳 #cdnpoli 1/2

I'd like to know Globe and Mail why this is not a HUGE scandal? Since when do Canadian politicians give American news outlets "tens of millions" for ad buys on American networks?

Who's defending Putin? Poilievre.

As Trump and Musk kiss the ring of Putin, pay attention Canada🇨🇦 to which other leader in North America is defending Putin. They are all in bed together. Only Canadian voters can stop Canada from falling into the cesspool.

You know who else is next door to Russia, bonehead? I’ll give you a guess. CANADA. That’s right - WE are. You remember, the country you’re supposed to lead if you were to win the federal election? Or didn’t they cover that in the IDU programming?

Pierre Poilievre's chief campaign strategist posted a picture of herself to social media wearing a MAGA hat. Germany is fighting the powerful, far-Right AfD, many of whom call themselves Nazis, in the next election. Pay attention 🇨🇦Canada🇨🇦

Parents will get the tune Canadian children's singer Raffi:

Nothing says "I support democracy" like an oligarch whining that law-abiding protestors should be thrown in jail on President's Day. #elon #presidentmusk #uspoli #presidentsday #protests #usa #aoc #bernie #trump #potus #doge #donaldtrump #berniesanders #musk #elonmusk #vptrump

Not terrifying at all. This is the party whose MP toured Canada, dined with #CPC MPs, went on a speaking tour in curches across 🇨🇦, and received a standing ovation at the #Calgary Petroleum Club. It's not a coincidence. Keep Nazis out of Canada. Don't vote Poilievre.

Trump makes bad people feel so good about themselves they'll believe any absurd lie he tells them. And what he says is what Russia tells him to say. Link in comments...

It's the dictator's playbook: 1) Wait for, or cause, an economic crisis. 2) Point to one group of people and say "you're not doing as well as you thought you'd be? It's not your fault...It's THEIR fault. 3) Divide and conquer. End scene.

The biggest red flag in #cdnpolitics Evil zillionaire subverting democracy and trying to overtake Canada thinks YOU are his guy here on the ground. Polite Canadians everywhere say "no thank you."
