@GadSaad Jonathan Haidt has a great book on this exact phenomena called The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion. Good read.
@AaronGunn I also heard from a source in his riding that he actually lives in Victoria, BC. To make it look like he’s heading back to his riding, he’d fly from Ottawa to Edmonton on the government’s dime, then hop on a self-booked connecting flight to Victoria.
Buddy, you've got this completely backwards. The left is the one obsessed with identity, race, culture, and dividing society into endless tribal victim/oppressor groups. YOU forced this polarization on everyone, not conservatives. Classic leftist move: deflect blame and refuse to own your own mess.
Just because the government doesn’t label it a “tax” doesn’t make it any less of one. Clean Fuel Regulations force fuel producers to lower the carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel or buy compliance credits, costs that get passed straight to consumers at the pump. According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, this “hidden carbon tax” is set to hike gas prices by up to 7 cents per litre in 2026 alone, with no rebates to offset the hit. So, what else would you call a policy that mandates higher costs on everyday essentials, enforced by the state and funneled through producers to your wallet? It’s a tax in everything but name, plain and simple.
Honest questions for Canadian Liberals:
Are you not moved to deep moral revulsion by this endless stream of stories about violent criminals on bail victimizing innocent people, especially women and girls??
If so, why the temporizing, the half-measure bail reforms, the unthinking deference to judges even when they are putting violent criminals back on the streets?
Why not return to Parliament with a bill that slams the door shut on bail, conditional release etc. for monsters like this, and applies the Charter’s Sec. 33 to protect it from aberrant judicial decisions?
This government has reversed policy on many less weigthy issues, like tax and environmental policy. There is no shame in admitting that this craziness in the justice system has gone too far, and needs to be corrected.
But there is great shame in allowing this madness to continue.
“This feels like a breath of fresh air”: Venezuelans in South Florida poured into the streets of Doral early Saturday, celebrating the U.S. military action in Venezuela that led to the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro.
People carried Venezuela’s flag and sang together in the early morning hours. “It's not an act of war. It's an act of freedom,” one Venezuelan said.
@ProjectPearson@PierrePoilievre Disclaimer: I just read a community note indicating the second video is not from this morning.
