@bruceanderson Another key take away? Income inequality, Indigenous reconciliation and the environment appear to be relatively unimportant issues in the minds of voters. They’re the three where the Conservatives score lowest while dominating the polls. Discouraging, critically important issues.

In social media post, Premier Higgs makes government statement on sex ed controversy, then drives readers to PCNB website for survey in which email addresses can be collected for future party use. Campaign starts in 4 months.

The casual, obvious lie, which is what this is, is always revealing. It’s happens like if someone feels entitled to lie because their supporters love the lie, or they believe that lying can’t keep them from winning.

If media overlook it, the behaviour just becomes more common

@bruceanderson The idea that Trudeau and Biden need to go is ridiculous. This is more proof of that.

[Andrew Perez @andrewaperez]

When you’re 20 points ahead in the polls and you’re still gaining traction through hammering affordability and cost of living themes, why would you take a torch to U.S-style culture wars and punch down on Canada’s most vulnerable?

Well, if you’re Pierre Poilievre, this is precisely what you do. It’s not good enough to be well, well ahead. True to his reputation, PP must sow division *where it doesn’t exist* so that he can cater to far-right extremists within the CPC fold.

Extremists who are the most loyal donors and door knockers.

Yesterday was a textbook case on why Poilievre is unfit to be prime minister: ganging up on trans people, trying to make pornography an issue and calling the PM names that are unbecoming of any elected official.

The federal Liberal Party must get its house in order ASAP to prepare for the biggest fight of its 156-year political life.

Canada hangs in the balance. #cdnpoli

At 2:20 p.m. on this day in 2021, the Capitol went into lockdown.

Around this time, Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman diverted extremists who were steps from the Senate Chamber where members of Congress were still inside.

The officers of the United States Capitol Police risked their own lives to save the lives of others. These heroes and patriots sacrificed so much to defend our nation, and in securing our Capitol, they secured our democracy.
