After 5 yrs of Higgs' leadership we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from another term .
Full disclosure, I worked on the last two Conservative campaigns & while I had reservations, I was willing to give Blaine a chance. That was a mistake.

Media fails Canadians by giving a free pass to Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Canadian media has failed to provide Canadians with a clear picture of what a Poilievre government would look like, by @BobHepburn https://t.co/rem8KdN7ZL via @torontostar#cdnpoli#journalism
It's disappointing watching today's @PnPCBC have an item about political discord, polarization, and vitriol in Canada and avoid mentioning that the toxic state of today's politics is caused by the extreme Right. Canadians are only polarized because the Right declared war on basic decency and honesty.
There is no political equivalence between the Right and Left in Canada. To imply there is, is misinformation.
When @PierrePoilievre compared a “shack” (it’s not) in Niagara Falls, Canada to a house in Niagara Falls, USA - zooming in on the price differential - he failed to mention that the infamous “Love Canal”, a toxic disaster area, is in this town.
It gets better.
Friends in or near Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, please stay on the lookout for my niece - missing today near Nettleton Lake. Share this far and wide please.
This is a preview of a video called the 10 tactics of fascism. The link to the full video is below and it's a scary watch, but people need to see this. Almost every single one of these fits the republican party agenda to a tee.
All night I kept running over @denisebatters “Trudeaudictatorship” post in my mind and I kept getting angrier and angrier.
Such egregiously irresponsible and destructive behaviour by a senator should be unacceptable to everyone, including @CPC_HQ .
One month before Russia invaded Ukraine, I stood trial at the High Court. And now I wait, in purgatory, to be judged.
But I believe this trial and the silence around it - & all the Kremlin's men - has revealed something profoundly rotten at the heart of the British state.

The status of the Canadian economy is the result of generally good working conditions, a generally healthy population, good management of the pandemic economy and good, proactive government actions.
Why @cafreeland is my new hero and why she is about to be yours as well.
I have stayed very close to Martin Sheil, retired IRS criminal investigator, during our war and here is his latest:

I have just read a “the liberals are as bad as the conservatives” tweet and I just want to scream. What a moronic stupidity that talking point has become. Just stop it, you sound ridiculous.
