Just to correct the record of this lobbyist, Canadian farmers wanted to buy the wheat board but Stephen Harper sold it to the Saudi's. Then he negotiated the FIPA deal (in secret) with China. The legacy of the Harper years lives on.
Face palm moment... In this Battle River-Crowfoot by-election both the Liberals and thr NDP have said they want to look at bringing BACK the Canadian Wheat Board. 🤦♂️ I was proud to be a volunteer/support the Conservative Party when Stephen Harper was PM and brought grain

🚨 Ontario has underfunded public schools by $6.3 billion since 2018! That’s not a typo. That’s the cost of chronic neglect & underfunding of public services. Per-student funding is still below 2018–19 levels—while school boards face rising costs, growing needs, and impossible

A man who said parliamentarians should serve no more than 2 terms is taking over the safest blue riding imaginable, from a democratically elected MP, to save himself from sinking after serving seven consecutive terms & finally being voted out by citizens in his own riding.

I’ve been covering federal elections since 2000. I have never seen anything like this.
Journalists were just told by the Poilievre campaign that national media will not get to ask one of the four allotted questions at the end of his presser in Richmond, BC. But a radio station in Manitoba will get to ask one by phone. Incredible.

Premier Ford is putting thousands of jobs at risk by underfunding colleges & universities, ignoring experts, and hurting Ontario—just like the Liberal gov't before him. It’s time to invest in education: a 20% funding boost, tied to inflation, to secure our competitive edge.

The PM is debating you in French on April 16 on @RadioCanadaInfo TVA wants to be PAID to carry a second French debate. Broadcasters have NEVER been paid for broadcasting a Leaders Debate. Nor should they. You won’t let media on your bus but you will pay them to carry a debate?!!
The Liberals want to be re-elected for a 4th term, but their leader is too afraid to debate me in French. If Mark Carney is too fragile to debate other leaders, how can he stand up to Donald Trump? Let's put Canada first - for a change.

"A Global News analysis of 50 of Poilievre’s most recent YouTube videos showed that they included a tag — hidden from viewers, but not from the videos’ publisher — used by a misogynistic online movement." https://t.co/CGxkHb07OE

Poilievre's office said the misogynistic term has been embedded in his YouTube videos for four and a half years, but was removed when Global News alerted them to its use.
