@dieworkwear Afghan men rock some great style. Women did too until they were prohibited from doing so.

@kate_local @RonaAmbrose @TheoMoudakis @ABDanielleSmith @PierrePoilievre My point is that this cartoonist infantilizes many politicians of both genders regularly. He has done it with Poilievre and Ford. The artist did nothing and has done nothing to suggest he is a mysoginist.

@Acadiegirl1755 @RonaAmbrose @TheoMoudakis @ABDanielleSmith @PierrePoilievre Say what you like about my. My issue with Smith is the same one I have with Poilievre. It’s not related to their gender but to their toxicity and the fact that they cozy up to people who want to destroy my country and who create hate. Smith the Premier is still a shock jock

@PierrePoilievre This from the guy who wouldn’t let the press on his campaign plane?

@stephen_taylor The question is why the hell do you give a shit? JT is gone. Who cares what colour tick he has?

@MarcNixon24 What kind of Canadian quotes JD? It’s like a Pole quoting Himmler.

@bygeorgist @MatinaStevis What exploitation?

@Thatguy40909723 @1vote1hope @mario4thenorth In the last election?! Canadians have ALWAYS voted with pencils since we started using secret ballots. How do you think that affected the result?

@BeltFedRev @visegrad24 @sarahadams Vucic’s people are not leftists. They are ethno-nationalist Putinists.

@CoryBMorgan Go away Cory

@MichaelARothman 3. Many of the policy shifts and market conditions are being driven lobbying and disinformation campaigns paid for by the fossil fuel industry.

[Paul Rowland @wpaulrowland]

@MichaelARothman 2. Gaslighting? I suggest that you look at your own assertion that EV mandates are responsible for job losses. It is patently ridiculous. There was a need to pause some of the targets partly due to shifts in demand but again mostly due to policy decisions coming from 1600 Penn

@ztisdale No tariffs for you if you move there. Please do

@augeradam @TWilsonOttawa How do you get obscene? Perhaps numbers do need to be pared but I have seen precious little analysis of where. We can all agree that government spending needs to be as effective as possible. Hiring freezes punish managers who run efficient shops. It’s lazy.

[Paul Rowland @wpaulrowland]

@GregoryJGalante @TWilsonOttawa 2. But randomly assigning a number is just lazy. Which 50% are superfluous? Park rangers? The Coastguard? Pension fund managers? Food safety researchers? Railway safety inspectors? How about the people who make passports? CSIS? RCMP?

[Paul Rowland @wpaulrowland]

@GregoryJGalante @TWilsonOttawa 50% too big based on what analysis? Government can always look at whether the staffing levels are proportionate to needs. Can positions be cut without affecting service levels? Maybe. Are there functions that no longer need to be performed? Possibly 2/

[Paul Rowland @wpaulrowland]

@jimbryson :( So, where CAN we see you?
