Canadians 🇨🇦 Be in the know

If someone in the know can explain why this section of the Criminal Code of Canada does not pertain to Pierre Poilievre getting newly-reelected CPC MP Damien Kurek to resign his seat in Parliament in exchange for ... we're not sure what ... I'd like to hear it.

"Unfortunately, in a five-week election, it takes a lot of time to clarify every issue and every policy," he said. Five-week? I believe Monsieur #Poilievre was campaigning for multiple years, had ample opportunity to 'clarify his position' and address 'misconceptions.' Sorry, not buying it. #cdnpoli

The #PeaceArch duty-free shop has entered receivership due to significant financial difficulties, including unpaid rent and debts. Traffic through the border crossing has dropped ~80%.

President Donald Trump says he is directing his government to reopen and expand Alcatraz, the notorious former prison on a California island.

Kory Teneycke just said Poilievre has "small d[ick] energy" for blaming Ford for losing the election. Nothing can be more enlightening than watching Tories compete over who has the smallest dick. Such visionaries, such leadership, such creeps. #onpoli #canpoli

Chutzpah is lying to dodge the draft and then asking the Army to celebrate your damn birthday.

I believe we've finally identified Canada's dumbest federal riding.

So Pierre Poilievre loves living in a big house on the tax payer's dime so much, he is kicking out a colleague from another riding to make it his own? Christy Clark did this too. May his political fate end up like hers.

ChatGPT, on #BattleRiver-Crowfoot #alberta riding: "Battle River–Crowfoot is a very safe #Conservative seat in rural Alberta and often used to nominate new or lesser-known Conservative candidates, not party leaders." Oh. You don't say? #cdnpoli

Yet another Ontario resident forced to move west to find a job.

Meanwhile, #Poilievre during the English language debates: Canada is a massive crime infested ghetto that people are terrified to live in. Canada's mean streets are northern version of Cartagena during the Escobar heyday. The lawless gangland of British Colombia... #cdnpoli

“I was able to calm the children down by showing them my favourite movie – a 2013 IMF Forum keynote address on European Monetary Policy, by Deputy Managing Director Kenji Okamura.” I may have snorted audibly in appreciation #thebeaverton #cdnpoli #satire

The possibility that RFK Jr. is going to undermine herd immunity in the United States grows increasingly likely. This would mean that US will be responsible for starting numerous pandemics and potentially destroying the effectiveness of the entire globe’s vaccine arsenal. This is bioterrorism.

Work req'd that I cross the #US border next week to receive a very expensive piece of specialized equipment. 😵‍💫 Because I'm non-descript, Caucasian, middle-aged, middle class. All of the other people who COULD go are visible minorities /immigrants. Trepidation is putting it mildly. OY VEY.

#Poilievre to run in Battle River-Crowfoot AB. #abpoli So Trump stench comes here where it's assumed folks don't value democracy, sovereignty, fairness, a renewed oil sector, federal dental, pharma, or day care. Worse yet, #UCP & Smith will be stumping for this guy. globalnews.ca/news/1116126...

A study in contrasts @naheednenshi.bsky.social has been @albertandp.ca leader for eons and Maple MAGA, Frau Dani won’t call byelection and leaves a constituency without an MLA Maple MAGA Pierre Poilievre loses his 20 year seat by 5 points, he finds a riding that went 80% CPC, and Carney plays nice

Canada is bringing in dental plans for all Canadians, while the US Faith Office is singing Amazing Grace over the President during a Christian prayer service. They not like us. #cdnpoli #uspoli #canadastrong #faithoffice

Thanks for the business USA. www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

British Columbia is Western Canada. That’s an undeniable fact. We are not separatists. Stop saying “Western” when you’re referring to what Alberta and Saskatchewan are doing. Because to us true westerners, it’s alienating. This is the product of Prairie Populism. It’s the Prairies, not the West.

AmeriKKKa's Apricot Autarch wants grandiose military parades in his honor now. Nothing to see here, carry on peasants. #uspoli #trump #parade

All these people that screamed about their rights and freedoms during COVID are alarmingly cool with the threat of martial law as long as it's dressed up in pretty, nationalistic language.

I'm accustomed to communicating w/ people who may not be cogent/ have auditory or visual deficit/ require things to be simplified, thx to long career in gerontology. I've attempted to use these techniques on #maplemaga post-election. It's a lost cause. Utterly obtuse and resistant. #cdnpoli

Indigenous Treaty & Alberta Secession (a simplified 🧵) NATION TO NATION AGREEMENTS Indigenous Peoples have signed treaties with the Crown, not the Province of Alberta. These are FEDERAL agreements, protected under the Canadian Constitution (Sect 35). /1 #cdnpoli #abpoli #treatyrights

Premier David Eby castigating independent MLA Dallas Brodie during QP this morning Brodie asked about forces threatening Canadian unity, which she claims includes "more than 200 Indigenous bands asserting sovereignty" Eby asks her to "refrain from hateful rhetoric" #bcpoli

Cruelty to immigrant communities is not a policy solution.

Alt text of the 2 images in the quoted post, because part of being a treaty partner is being inclusive, and accommodating disabilities. #ableg #cdnpoli

People have warned for years that the CPC riding associations/ranks were being over taken by extreme elements. The fact there is an assumption that Poilievre is safe because the "base" is loyal to him, only confirms it no longer is a mainstream party, beyond the sloganism. It's maple MAGA. #cdnpoli

I was waiting for Indigenous groups to roll up and say something about #DanielleSmith and her dangerous game of baiting the public into playing secession 'chicken' with the federal government. Behold, for it is a Cease and Desist, courtesy of multiple #AB Cree FNs. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Poilievre does not have to “resign” as Leader of the Official Opposition, he is immediately ineligible upon losing his seat in the House of Common. Silly me, I thought #cdnmedia may inform Canadians of this but we have propagandists. @theguardian.com #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre attempting to remain as Leader of Opposition *is* not accepting the results of the #cdnpoli election.

Pierre Poilievre is no longer the leader of the CPC according to Parliamentary rules and must vacate Stornaway immediately. #Cdnmedia should have known that, and reporting on a “debate” on that is irresponsible. Does he need help packing? Stop gaslighting everyone and breaking the rules for him.

#cpc #cdnpoli #poilievre

If you're on the losing side this is for you...
