Pierre Poilievre's disrespect for the House of Commons is a perfect metaphor for his contempt for Canada, our Values, and our institutions.

He broke the rules of the house repeatedly.

When told to apologize, like a petulant child, he refused.

Then he took his caucus & left.

Pierre Poilievre is courting support from groups that spew hate. Is this really the alternative to Justin Trudeau we want?

Canadians are tired of the Liberal government, but surely we can do better than what the Conservative leader is offering. #Opinion trib.al/JLNYXac

So I wrote a column on how Pierre Poilievre’s pit stop wasn’t a smart idea and how it’s giving Liberals a reason for hope (which is probably a reflection shared by 90+% of MPs) and the insults on my feed are something else. No one is forcing you to read. thestar.com/politics/pierr…

Ukraine is literally pleading for armoured vehicles from Canada to protect their soldiers. They know we have hundreds in surplus and a defence industry that can quickly assemble more. What are we waiting for? 1/2

This is how “No more weapons for Ukraine” translates into reality. Russia has destroyed one of the last remaining power plants in Ukraine. This time, in once well-protected Kyiv. Brace yourself for a humanitarian catastrophe on the EU border in the coming months.

If you thought the economy crashed when the world suffered from Covid,
imagine the crash when Republican traitors allowing Putin to murder Ukraine, allow Russia to invade Europe and China to invade Taiwan.
America first, my ass.
Authoritarians kill economies To help themselves.

Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱 National Post Cons 'Food bank usage is at an all time high!'

Libs 'Okay, we'll help by keeping kids better fed.'

Cons 'Another phoney Liberal program!'

It's one or the other. If the Cons running the provinces aren't going to do anything about it except complain, then adults step in.

Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱 National Post Because they are going try and feed the kids and reduce the burdens on families or because the conservative premiers will refuse to support anything they can't grift off of? The US has had a very successful one for over 70 years. fns.usda.gov/nslp#:~:text=T….

NEW: The cost of staffing the premier’s office under Doug Ford has more than doubled since 2019, according to salary disclosures, far outpacing his predecessor Kathleen Wynne.

So Doug Ford is blaming PM Trudeau for increased rents, but he, Doug, cancelled rent control in ON. And he’s blaming PM Trudeau for carbon pricing but he, Doug, cancelled the Cap & Trade ON had and switched to the carbon tax. Are people really this gullible? Doug Fords a liar.

The definition of an Asshole is someone who believes that the rules ordinary people obey don't apply to them

Murray Mandryk:

Federal Minister Wilkinson says the federal govt isn’t abandoning carbon pricing because it’s working, & for Moe to say otherwise is “just making things up.” “What Premier Moe…& what Poilievre is saying…zero factual basis.”

There are more than 3,000 Metrolinx employees on the sunshine list this year who pull in a total of $410,117,370 in salaries and 1,720,710 in benefits.

About half the workforce earns six figures.

PM Justin Trudeau says CONservative politicians across Canada, including Premiers, are misleading Canadians about carbon pricing.

Canada Carbon Rebate amounts are going up in April. That’s more money back in your pocket, automatically paid out to you four times a year.

But Conservative politicians won’t tell you that.

CPC: Taxes are too high! Spending is out of control!

Provincial Conservatives: Yeah, Trudeau? I’m building a half-a-billion dollar parking garage for a private spa here. So yeah, I’m going to need you to send me some more federal tax dollars for that.

the EU, Canada, and the USA, only one leader has shaken hands with Vladmir Putin since his illegal invasion began. His name is Viktor Orban, the right-wing Prime Minister of Hungary.
