So it turns out the Conservatives fired not one, but two of their own candidates today.

One in Montreal who got shitcanned for tweeting out a medley of lunacy—Bill Gates/vaccines & Mark Carney/Epstein conspiracies, how Russia was provoked by NATO into invading Ukraine and how socialists & environmentalists should be sentenced to forced labour.

The next dude was their candidate in Windsor, who in leaked audio voiced his support for public hangings and his belief that Justin Trudeau should get the death penalty.

Both seem a wee bit worse than what the shitty Liberal candidate did…

Conservatives drop second election candidate in one day

Im actually shocked that they were canned. Trump would never have fired them.

Bourrie’s portrait of Poilievre describes him as the angriest person on Canada’s political stage and the nastiest leader of a major party in this country’s history

Strictly speaking, he’s not incorrect. The data backs it up. Starting families is legitimately one facet of why the housing issue is the central preoccupation of many younger voters.

But, of course, the way he frames the issue is weirdo creepy because he’s an odious turd and right wing geebus freaks can’t stop thinking about other people’s genitals.

a comment he's made in the past, but one that's igniting online pushback now as he faces more scrutiny in this election campaign.

There’s your problem, PP. People are seeing what you’re like.

I can see why Carney would not want folks to see widespread price increases on groceries during the election campaign

Lilley is a holdover from "Rebel News", so he isn't quite unbiased. Postmedia is US owned, so they are biased.

I do agree, that fact checkers should be unbiased, something is either a fact, or not.

Unless you are Kellyanne Conway.

Yup, but I'm also pretty fucking tired of dealing with the rights hypocrisy with balanced bothsidesy talk. they fucking hate the taste of their own medicine

Smart to limit the impact to people wallets here, especially with most people avoiding American products anyway.

Are you high?

You said a thing, I asked a question:



You said another thing:



and literally no one argued against it.

But also, this isn't walking back anything, the counter tariffs were never across the board tariffs, they were always targeted.

 

[hockeylover]

I said I hoped Carney wouldn’t roll over just because of the election so maybe he’s thinking of that.

Was moreso thinking no retaliation at all though.

I'm sorry that Mbow is hallucinating.
