Not often you get a chance to thank Russia for helping out, but thank you. More of this. Do they take referrals?

Self-proclaimed Convoy leader went around to the various merch tables and nobody knew who he was.

Funniest moment for me.

Lich has posted on social media that the Crown is seeking a sentence of seven years for her and eight years for Barber.
She posted a screen shot of part of the Crown's submission to the judge, which called their actions "the worst case of mischief" and argued that the right to political expression has never existed without limitations. The Canadian Press has not independently verified the screen shot.

Pretty disgusting that Pierre and a bunch of other "tough on crime, but not this crime" conservatives are preemptively using this to rile up their base. Not surprised, of course. Convoy Party of Canada indeed.

This is another reason why the "unite the right" movement has failed everyone. Way too much air being taken up by social conservatives and Maple MAGA types, and they keep pulling farther to the right. The parties didn't merge, they were taken over by the reformers.

Bad look for Poilievre. Looks like he’s still more worried about keeping the loons in the tent than winning over the people he needs to win elections going forward.

I doubt he’ll be the party leader when the next election rolls around.

Of course he is, he's the current tent pole.

Exactly. In a poll from September 2022, over 60% of Albertans disagreed with the convoy movement and their methods. In the most conservative province in the country.

Read the room, Pierre. The Liberals will continue to fill the void between you and the centre - why widen it? I mean, I'm not a PP voter, so go right ahead, but strategically.... come on, man.

Poilievre knows that his chances of recapturing the center are almost certainly gone with Carney looking like the kind of Captain Pragmatism so many have wanted. So lean into those crazies and when Pierre does get ousted his transition onto the lucrative grift tit is seamless. Just the state of modern politics, moderating in the hopes of winning enough votes in the middle is not a guarantee, staying hard right and making the grift bucks is basically a license to steal. Easy choice for the morally bankrupt.

Reading some idiot threatening that there will be civil war if Lich and Barber get those seven- and eight-year sentences. We’ll never find out because they won’t get those sentences.
