One of the things I love best about Canada is that we don't have Donald Trump here, that authoritarian demagogue who is doing his best to erase democracy in the USA.

But we could have our own Trump if we are careless. Pierre Poilievre is trying hard to create the stage for victory of his own version of Trump's populism, decrying everything we have in Canada that made it one of the most free and happiest countries on Earth as bad, and broken. He calls that "Common Sense". I call it his Big Lie.

Former drug dealer says decriminalizing drugs is "the craziest thing he's ever heard of.

Did Putin just wire Comrade Trump a half billion dollar bribe 🤔🤔🤔

Donald Trump claimed early Friday that he has "almost" $500 million in cash, undercutting his lawyers' claims the day before that he would not be able to comply with the $464 million judgment against him and his co-defendants in the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

@Free_Press Please, don't insult sex workers by comparing them to Trump. Selling your body compares in no way to selling out your country..

"Is doing enough to solve the crisis?" Get real. In Canada, housing is constitutionally a provincial responsibility. Period. When Ottawa spends money on housing, they are stepping on provincial turf. Is your province doing enough? Anything at all? In Ontario, is freeing up Greenbelt land for million dollar houses and billion dollar profits for his pals. That's all. https://globalnews.ca/news/9964544/housing-crisis-london-calgary-west-block/

This story is from Yahoo News.
Don't look for it in your local Postmedia, G&M, Toronto Star rag sheets or on CBC who only want to print "opinions" on the economy instead of the facts, Trudeau's and Chrystia Freeland's plan is working to bring inflation down and the GDP growing.

This Arnprior, ON 93-year old minister is selling his prized collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia to help fund the purchase of a CT scanner for the local hospital, a key item of diagnostic equipment for every regional hospital. The sale may bring in $20K towards a minimum $1 Million cost of a scanner. Got to ask, why isn't the govt of Ontario (you, ) funding this scanner? Just thought, maybe the ON govt is responsible for health care in this province. No?

He will use it as justification to use weapons of mass destruction on , weapons like incendiary bombs, chemical, biological, and even tactical nuclear weapons. No matter that this would be a war crime. More desperate than we knew, he will argue that he is answering a war crime with justifiable punishment. .

We're seeing story after story about the approaching complete collapse of provincial systems while govts do nothing. In every province, thousands lack access to family physicians while ERs and intensive care units are overwhelmed by numbers of patients. In PEI, like elsewhere, politicians say, "It's getting better". It's not. They will let it collapse to avoid raising taxes while letting private clinics flourish. In 10 years, medicare will be dead in Canada.

Thanks to the oilcos jacking up gas prices 10-15 cents per litre in the past week, the 3.3 cent price increase on 1 April will seem like nothing. Last year the oilcos dropped prices 1 week after the carbon price increase. A tactic to keep you from going electric.

WTF is wrong with and the ? Publicly paid school lunches are a need across Canada. But they are a clear, definite responsibility of the provincial governments of Canada, NOT the federal govt. There is no way in hell the feds should pay for this when the armed forces, among many federal responsibilities, are severely underfunded. That is where NDP responsibilities rest. Do YOUR job, Singh, not the Premiers jobs.

The headline of this story says a Federal Judge ordered PM Trudeau and the Justice Minister to "appoint judges faster". That is a total fabrication. The judge has no power to do that. He did urge it strongly. CTV News continues to colour its reporting with anti-Trudeau vile. Check the Toronto Star story for the truth.

It's true. has totally lost it mentally. He demands that arrest its own security chief and extradite him to Russia for trial in a "terrorist" attack on a Crimean bridge, killing 5 people, in March 2022. (Russia invaded Ukraine in Feb 2022. The Ukrainian security agency took credit for the attack in July 2022). It's called war, people.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the Moscow theatre attack. Wile plausible, it should be borne in mind that ISIS is notorious for falsely claiming responsibility for outrageous crimes like this one, where proof may not be possible, because it gives them an air of invincibility.

As long as provinces are constitutionally responsible for health care, and they want to keep it that way, let them raise their own damn taxes to improve their services. I don't want to pay for health care because I don't live there. You won't agree to Ottawa's terms? Stop whining, Quebec, and get on with the job of looking after your own people.

"Trudeau's failure to answer is pathological", says the National Post. Really? Maybe he's just following the rigid example of Stephen Harper. No one ever got a straight answer out of him when he was PM. He 'pathlogically' avoided the news media at all times.
