Does it have a verifiable author and receipts of what they are claiming? Al Jazeera has broken some stuff.

Al Jazeera is a way better / reputable news source than even CBC. It’s like on par with BBC, Reuters, etc.

I didn't say you were taking digs at me, they're still digs.

Coming from multiple major news sources is a useful heuristic.. if something is well sourced then it's going to pass muster with lots of media outlets who vet sources. That doesn't mean it has to come from a major outlet, but their input can help. Doesn't make it certain either, nothing is ever 100%.
If major outlets ignore something there's multiple possible reasons.. they could all be part of a conspiracy (formal or informal) to ignore it (which isn't impossible). Or they could have all determined there's simply not enough substantiation to pass muster. From a news consumer's point of view those two things look exactly the same, and choosing to believe one of the other just reveals a bias.
If something stays on the fringes sure it could be real, but choosing which fringe to believe or not based on what I want to believe is not the right way to go about it. I can think "that's interesting" but I'm not going to let it become a strong belief.
I can "research it myself", but the actual ability to do that in an effective and meaningful way is usually fairly limited. Usually that's just code for "look at all the things I found which confirm my bias".

Canada is a centrist/left leaning country generally although we are also a pragmatic bunch. We want good governance without the US-style bumper sticker politics. The brand of government O'Toole ended up representing didn't fit what Canadians want. When are the Cons going to learn?
Yes, I believe the Conservatives scored an own-goal and now we all have to put up with Trudeau even longer.

I was considering voting conservative for the first time in my life in the last federal election because I was sick of Trudeau and O'Toole seemed fairly reasonable. That ended as soon as he bowed to the anti-vax crowd and refused to endorse vaccine passports. What an unforced error that was

Probably because she was a minor.

So, what are the chances Poilievre calls the next election stolen if they don't win, or even don't win a majority?

In case anyone is wonder what PP was trying to insinuate, when confronted with being a political lifer with his head strapped to the trough. Good gig, if you can get it.

And just like that you go on my ignore list and - I hope - lose whatever pitiful reputation you have on this board. There's plenty to criticize Trudeau for: spewing alt-right lies found in whatever wretched corners of the internet you frequent should really get you banned.

I really sense some sickos here actually hope that those rumours were true. Imagine wanting someone to have been sexually assaulted to prove you right.

Yeah, PP is a lifer. He's more opportunistically crazy than actually crazy. A lot of the rhetoric is calculated. In other words he's quite a bit more like Ted Cruz than he is Donald Trump.

Smells like smear job… just like the sexual assault accuser in the US who has since defected to Russia

Well, no. Here there is no accuser, is there? Just innuendo.

I don’t follow US politics very close. Is this really a thing, accusations of ”leftists are groomers”?

You don't even need to go to the US to find that nonsense.

In fact, you may be surprised to know that many of the new "UCP" believe in the same nonsense.
