Dearest CBC, You’re NOT reading the room. Canadians are fighting harder for you than YOU are. You’re STILL doing the same old “both sides” nonsense that you did w/the Truck Occupation. WHY aren’t you asking @npr & PBS how they’re dealing with Trump investigations? www.trucknews.com/blogs/the-so...

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

I don't trust Poilievre as 🇨🇦 PM because I don't trust someone who tags incels, promotes his visit to Diagalon extremists, supports and recruits anti-vaxxers and will ban vax reqts, supports Freedom Convoy, has alt-right Euros visiting MP's, calls govt Marxists, and won't get a security clearance.
