They want to decide what books you can read, what history your children can learn, what medicines you’re allowed to take, what surgeries you can have, what gender you’re permitted to be, what sports you can play, which bathroom you can use, who you can love, and who you can marry. They want to own your library, your classroom, your hospital room, your bedroom—and now your television. They want to own the page, the pill, the joke, the chant, the kiss, the very pronoun in your mouth. And then, with breathtaking cynicism, they’ll look straight at you and say it’s the Democrats who are coming for your freedom. Small government? My fucking ass. This isn’t small government. This is government in your bloodstream, in your dictionary, in your bed, and now in your goddamn remote control.

@Dave_Eby it's not the foreign workers that are causing youth unemployment it's the high minimum wage. Small business can't afford youth with no experience at that wage
🟥 Be honest Canada ... please just be honest.
Can you REALLY imagine, even for a second, Pierre Poilievre in this G7 Leaders photo, instead of PM Mark Carney??
Try to see the image in your mind’s eye. 👀
You CAN’T, can you? 🤷🏻♂️
See ... it is in this very REAL context that you see that Pierre could NEVER be a Prime Minister of Canada.
He is simply unfit. 🙅🏻♂️
He doesn’t have the temperament, the gracefulness, the vocabulary, the intelligence, nor the SKILL.
Being known for slogans, insults and bullish confrontations, is entertaining and all (to some), when in OPPOSITION and during political campaigns, but a REAL skillset is required when it comes to GOVERNING.
And Poiliever has NEVER, in 21 years in politics, shown any of those abilities. 🫴🏼⛔️
How could Poilievre possibly have hosted these world Leaders??
It’s impossible. 😌
▪️ What would he say to them?
▪️ How could he strike a smooth, positive, diplomatic rapport with them and build consequential relationships??
▪️ How would he get their respect??
▪️ How would he collaborate and work closely with them on various HIGH LEVEL projects, proposals and policies??
When has anyone ever seen Pierre doing any of the above?? 🤷🏻♂️
C’mon.
He would be a TOTAL disaster!
World Leaders would want NOTHING to do with him! (Except for Trump, Netanyahu, Putin and Kim Jong Un).
The world has already noticed his toxicity and base immaturity.
Everyone was closely watching the Canada election.
They find him unpalatable. 🤢
Imagine Poilievre as PM, and Lantsman as Deputy PM.
My goodness! 😬
Fortunately, that is not a problem we will EVER need to encounter. 🤌🏼
Even many Canadians that voted for him - NOW, in the sober aftermath of a quick, and heated election - recognize that he is not PM material.
Never was.
Hence he is now polling at around 20%. 🤦🏻♂️

Since Pierre Poilievre refuses to raise his security clearance to the level of his responsibilities, it’s time to lower his responsibilities to the level of his security clearance.

Why I won't vote for Pierre Poilievre
(Yes I will shut off my comments because it's my account and my choice I don't need to listen to the same argument over and over got it the first time).
The patient volumes for Internal Medicine on the North Shore and Sea to Sky corridor are completely unsuitable. I am drowning. My colleagues are drowning. We see the most complex patients and I would argue we are an extremely cost effective service.
I would ask the minister of health @Josie_Osborne to direct UBC medicine to expand the Internal Medicine residency program by 12 spaces per year for July 1st, 2026. These 12 residents would be in an Internal Medicine stream based out of Lions Gate hospital with a return of service agreement to government and tax payers. We have many young Canadians who have gone to countries like Ireland and Australia for their medical school and they want to come back home. Train them in the community and they stay in the community. We do outreach as a group to many small communities.
You don’t need to pay us. We want to teach. I’ve had hundreds and hundreds of students the past 20 years. We can provide an exceptional training experience AND have a long term solution for a rapidly ageing and growing population. This is not an expensive proposal. The alternative of paying us more and more to poach and recruit from other regions in the province and country is not working and so much more expensive.
We can do this.
Regardless, of what some might say. This man made you feel something. For me, it was immense pride to be Canadian. He gave us everything he got. You truly will be missed PMJT @JustinTrudeau
In the great words of Tina Turner:
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest ❤️🇨🇦
In 7 days, we'll find out who our new Liberal leader will be.
As excited as I am to see Carney (or whoever else wins) and what they will do for Canada, I'm also extremely sad to be losing PM Justin Trudeau.
Despite all the hate he gets, he's still my favourite PM ❤️🇨🇦
A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:
“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”
