If we reflect on worldwide politics, it's probably not that far off a bunch of the population's feelings. Populism and the whole right wing griftosphere is just finally reaping the benefits of blaming the left for everything wrong in people's lives.

It's like asking them how many interprovincial pipelines got built under Harper's 10 years. The answer should be 0 but instead its "BUT THE LIBS!@$#!@#". People are stupid so they make stupid decisions, like thinking the CPC won't eat their faces and charge them for it.

I've never been more excited to attend an all candidates forum in my riding before.
That will be an absolute blood bath!

Be happy.

You're so close to getting it right, Rick. So close.

This made my day. And then I looked at the calendar and thought it was a joke.

But now they say it’s real! Corey is a HUGE get and an incredible upgrade compared to that bland real estate dude who maybe domestically abused his wife. Confed has always had that “maybe we’ll flip” vibe ever since Matt Grant (who did well but unfortunately only ran the one time).

Now we have a candidate and just maybe the right timing to actually pull it off. You can put me down for a donation and a sign.

And Corey wouldn't be running if he didn't think he had a chance, so research must be telling him it's possible. Good sign.

Apparently Carney saying he won’t repeal the tanker ban bill.

What a ####ing stupid thing to say / think / believe / keep in tact. All of it. Just dumb in so many ways. Especially at this point of a political campaign. Like even just politically stupid.

Okay so- the message is here- we’ll be beholden to the States for energy forever. Meaning we have no leverage with them in a trade war.

The end.

CTV has cancelled a fact-checking segment after pushback from the CPC and affiliated trolls. A CPC staffer accused the journalist of being a “disgraced disinformation peddler,” of course without evidence.

I mean, it's right there on the page.

Also in June 2021, this principled MP voted against Justin Trudeau’s parental prosecution bill, C-6, which seeks to put parents in jail up to 5 years if they dare to affirm their gender-confused child in their biological sex.
If you can't read between the lines, he's supported the "rights" of parents to brainwash their own children, using Conversion "Therapy", a practice every respectable mental health expert has acknowledged as being deeply harmful too anyone put through it.

That, and strongly supporting the position that a woman should only be able to do with her own body what a man decides is OK.

Carney is so far ahead (polymarket has him with a 69% chance of being the PM after the election) that he's suspending his campaign to deal with the tariffs tomorrow.

I knew something was amiss when Zain and Carter were on there last night by themselves. There are very few people I'd actually take the time to volunteer for, but Corey Hogan is one.

I'll say this though. If any Conservative goes back and clips the audio from the podcasts, he's toast. I've been a Patreon subscriber since they went mostly private and Corey has said some pretty hilarious, but very politically incorrect, things.

Carney’s gonna take a hit now with the tanker ban thing as he just gave Poilievre some good ammo on a totally unnecessary wedge issue.

I'm sure our resident conservatives, who are constantly seething about the perceived bias at the CBC, will be quick to condemn this.

Hard to imagine this country being able to make any meaningful changes. Pretty disappointing.

He'll ruin this country
