@paulgriffin1962 @MarkJCarney Very difficult to negotiate with a bully. We do need a trade deal but may need to hold our course until there is a new administration state side.

@xlblackopslx @mattvanswol Federal pardon does not protect from state or civil proceedings. Also, why subject yourself to what amounts to political grandstanding? The 5th amendment has been invoked for far less.

@WaterguyTJ @ABDanielleSmith The disparity exists for sure, and I’m not advocating for MLA compensation but you are not comparing apples to apples. 87 MLA’s earn $14 million annually, while 51,000 AB teachers earn $4.4 Billion. The cost per tax payer for a 1% increase to MLA is 5 cents versus teachers @$15

@CPC_HQ Amazed that the Liberals even have a chance with this track record.

Something to think about before #Election2025. Sure seems like the Conservatives had #Canada in a better place.

[Voltaire @Voltaire2_0]

@PuckDaddy93 How much more Liberal government can #Canada take?

Serious question. Does anyone actually believe #Trump tariffs will lower costs to consumers? This is Economics 101. Is there any reputable, independent economic agency that has argued this will help lower inflation? https://t.co/n3Ww2CfrOV #politics #election

@DonaldJTrumpJr Just going to leave this here as a reminder of how you so eloquently responded to the Pelosi attack.

This #debate is an embarrassment to the US. Neither can answer a question posed to them. A couple of children arguing over who was the worst president and their golf handicaps? #politics

Ok in all honesty, does @RonDeSantisFL actually speak for most Floridians? His recent ideas on education and now gas stoves are really out there. He also keeps talking about “they” a lot. Is he referring to liberals or the voices in his head? #politics #Florida

@mariolopezviva Ok, I get it that rich Republicans like lower taxes. But can you please crack a 1st year economics book to learn a bit about supply & demand- especially commodity prices? Biden’s government has nothing to do with high gas/grocery prices everywhere else in the world, yet…

@glenngusgus @itsJeffTiedrich Where are you getting your facts from? I’d assume alternative media sources, but Bill Barr is literally discussing this on Fox News. Misdirect as you wish Glenn- it’s real.

[Voltaire @Voltaire2_0]

@TimRunsHisMouth Nope. But maybe you didn’t watch the speech Tim. Following Biden’s definition, the Washington Post tried to determine MAGA Republicans and estimates it is likely closer to 10% of the population. https://t.co/2A4D7prwRD

[Voltaire @Voltaire2_0]

@ianbremmer Are you sure it is 33% Ian? This article by the Washington Post suggests it might be closer to 10% that fits Biden’s definition last night of “MAGA Republicans”. https://t.co/2A4D7pqZ25
