As someone who wants more universal child benefits, primarily for reasons unrelated to natalism, it seems clear these people are not my allies

The Conservative Party platform includes 4 mentions of women. 3 of those are related to an anti-trans policy. That says everything that needs to be said about the Conservative Party and gender equity.

The Hudson Bay artifacts and charter should be nationalized by Canada and placed under the oversight of a national entity that is led by Indigenous people. It was built on the backs of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people who should help guide how those artifacts and history are treated.

You ever notice how the guys apparently desperately concerned about the placement of a handful of bronze statues without which, they claim, Canadians won’t know their history, have a national identity or be able to debate and celebrate together, are the same guys who want to defund the CBC?

This is a racist dog whistle. The ONLY reason the birthrate matters is if you are enough of a fool to believe #racist "Replacement Theory" nonsense. And dont even 'what if' me. Talk to the hand, if you must talk. www.cnn.com/2025/04/23/h...

Developers even chuckled when asked about whether expansion land McMansions will have any impact on the housing crisis when #HamOnt Council voted in favour of a firm urban boundary - these forced boundary expansions are purely about land speculator profits at the expense of the rest of us.

Other than an anti-trans plank, there is no mention of the LGBTQ+ community, our concerns, or our rights. When they tell you who they are, believe them.

Just a little social experiment. Ladies name the 3 current male figures in our society who you would NEVER date. I'm trying to see if a name comes up, and if so, what percentage of women name him as utterly unfuckable and repulsive.

A whole lot is at stake in this federal election. The new government will have the massive task of steering Canada out of multiple crises: a trade war, heightened global tensions, climate change and increasingly fragile ecosystems — all problems woven together.

The polls in Canada have tightened after the debates. The Bloc have gained back ground in Quebec. If the NDP and Bloc get back support they had lost to Mark Carney, it could mean Poilievre wins the same way Ford won in Ontario — by the other parties splitting the vote. Take nothing for granted.

With the NDP Vote Collapsing, Could Dan Muys Lose Flamborough - Glanbrook - Brant North? If indicators showing a collapse of the NDP vote are accurate, the CPC "safe seat" is no longer safe - it could even be a toss-up. I'm not willing to call it a toss-up yet, but I'm watching. #yhmvote

Conservatives since let’s say Reagan onward have been demonstrated to be antithetical to reality. The policies have failed miserably. Trickle down. Tough on crime. Just say no. And every social policy. Nothing has worked and it’s all garbage. Facts/reality are diametrically opposed to conservatism.

"Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says #Canada could be on track to a scenario where people are so desperate that they are hunting and foraging for food in the woods." Okay, now he's just calling every #Canadian stupid, just for expecting you to believe, and actually be afraid of this statement

Classic authoritarian populist tactics from Pierre Poilievre’s campaign, attacking the news media using MAGA epithets and promising the “truth” which “the media doesn’t want you to see”. #cdnpoli

When it comes to people with autism, particularly children, RFK Jr wants to make it easier for parents and quack doctors to "experiment" and force dangerous and unproven treatments on them. And he wants to make it harder or outright illegal to counter disinformation that harms this industry.

After the death of Pope Francis, conservatives across Canada are expressing anger at what they call an unfair & unjust system. "It's bad enough we didn't get to vote for PM, but now they won't let us vote for the new Pope either!" said one Protestant who failed both high school civics & religion.

With the exception of there being an actual leftwing option and a surge in support of a leftwing option among young women. A non-existent left flank makes any comparisons to Europe deeply flawed.
