How are private "executive health" services such as MedPoint even legal? Taking primary care and specialist services - publicly-funded and regulated by the Canada Health Act - behind paywalls. It's past time governments put a stop to this. #NoPrivatizedHealthcare www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Hmmm.... Apparently the Conservatives aren't impressed by Poilievre's declaration that he will declare war on the woke war on bread bags. This will surely stand as a one of the more bizarre closing pitches for a campaign in memory. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

The Debate Commission should consult Federal Court decision where Rebel Media was found to be not engaged in production of original news content & not entitled to ““qualified Canadian journalism organization”” designation. Scared? Get better lawyers. Stand up for democracy.

ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n... Fanjoy calls Poilievre a “dream opponent,” noting that, even on his home turf, the Conservative leader is “uniquely unlikeable – people are not unopinionated about him.” For some, Poilievre’s support of the truckers who occupied Ottawa in 2021 remains a sore point.

Academics & others need to understand a few things. A 🧵 I) First, fascism is not inevitable. Research on autocratic movements show that only about 3,5% of the population need to resist to stop them. Fascism thrives on the silence of the friends. That why visible resistance matters. 1/

We’ve got a lot to build in this country, and we need a lot more builders. So we’ll cover training costs and make it easier to work anywhere in Canada. It’s going to be a great time to be in the skilled trades.

Yes, we could. But rallying the base around that project and genocidal historical figure is a choice. 17,000 labourers were brought from China and assigned the most dangerous terrain. They were underpaid, 4,000 of them died, and the rest were abandoned in Canada, destitute. #CdnPoli

Excellent critique by @timothysnyder.bsky.social of Vance, Trump & their threatened land grabs in @theguardian.com today: "Thanks to Trump’s administration, the US could soon have to fight wars to get things that, just a few weeks ago, were there for the asking." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Danielle Smith is Canada's pre-eminent political arsonist. Even more than Pierre Poilievre. While Canadians rally together she is gleefully burning the MAGA MAPLE big tent to the ground. Read my latest on how MAGA MAPLE crowd are turning on each other. charlieangus.substack.com/p/maga-maple...

Pierre Poilievre denounced the NDP's national dental care plan as "socialistic." He told Jordan Peterson he would "fiercely resist" our socialist policies. But his numbers are tanking. Now he says he will support dental care. You can't trust MAGA-MINI Pierre. www.youtube.com/shorts/pagfv...

SeanFraserMP 🇨🇦 - on Pierre Poilievre saying he'd support Liberal pharmacare and dental care programs. "Now that he realizes his position is unpopular, he shifts his principles altogether. 'You don't like my principles, look at my other principles' is his essential approach here." #cdnpoli
