“Let’s spew out the same losing logic as Bills 525 & 377 and call them Conservative principles rather than fall in line with the Leader, caucus & members who are working hard to reach out to labour.” Maybe we stop letting the proven losers define what Conservatism in Canada is?

Not unfair points as far as growth is concerned, but throttling working class livelihoods while talking nice about workers’ contributions isn’t “pro-worker.” It’s the kind of lip service that contributed to the institutional mistrust we see today and how left-wing parties have

This isn’t news, it’s been public forever, Ben Mulroney never claimed to be a journo + from experience he’s fair and balanced when he needs to be. A radio persona + old donations don’t disqualify him. He isn’t hosting as a journalist. Let’s not pretend there aren’t biased hosts.

The video of the cold blooded killing of Iryna Zarutska is heartbreaking and enraging. Not a single person stepped up to help her. If you’re in public and are witness to an act like that, step up and help someone when they need it most. Don’t just stand there and videotape.

We must all strongly denounce the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Political violence is NEVER justified. The attacker must be brought to justice. And free speech must be upheld. Pray for Mr. Kirk and his family.

This gets even worse when you consider that Charlie Kirk—more than anyone else in America on the right or the left—built his platform making a good faith effort to model civil poltical discourse and debate in the public square. His entire project was built on reaching across

There is a special place in hell for those who seek to settle disagreement with bullets. Political violence is deplorable and despicable. Free speech is sacred. Charlie Kirk is an unequivocal defender of it, for himself and his critics. I am praying for Charlie and his family.

They killed a 31 year old father of two whose only crime was to go to university campuses and engage in good faith with people who disagreed with him. If this isn’t a wake up call then we’re never going to wake up.

I interviewed with Charlie Kirk just last month, and I saw a passionate young man who loved his country. Devastated to now learn of his assassination. Political violence has no place in our nation. We must turn down the temperature and stand united against hate. I pray for

His son just turned 1. His daughter is 3. That is all I keep thinking of.  Those kids deserve their dad. It breaks my heart to think of them and their mom tonight.

For the lives and families forever changed. For the passengers and crew who fought back. For the first responders who ran towards the fire to help. For the brave soldiers who’d avenge this terrible day and fight terrorism around the world. May we never forget.

Unhinged lunatics like Terrill Tailfeathers (look at his feed) are openly celebrating the cold blooded murder of a 31 year old father of two. Nobody deserves to be killed for their political beliefs. Period. Full stop. It’s sad and enraging that needs to be explained to people.

It’s literally plastered all over your profile. We used to ignore people like you who live on the far far far corners of society and spew the most vile, unhinged garbage from their parents basement. Unfortunately social media has given lunatics like yourself a voice.

There’s a group of people (on both sides) who have made politics and fighting whatever they’re opposed to into their whole personality. There’s so much more to life. Your family, friends, faith, community, country - all vastly more important than disagreements over politics.

I’ll fix it for you: There’s no excuse for political violence. There’s not supposed to be a “but” in that sentence. I hope Canadian Heritage reviews and cancels all grants to this organization justifying the cold blooded assassination of someone for their views.
