If I were the Liberal war room, I’d simply not take cheap shots at the Black guy who grew up in poverty, taught himself to read at 16, went on to graduate from Yale Law, and then beat stage-4 cancer - - but what do I know?
If Jamil were a Lib or NDPer, there’d already be a movie about his life streaming on CBC Gem. So odd to see the Liberal brain trust go out their way to take shots at him
“October 7th Proves We’re Almost Free!”. The crowd goes wild.
“Long live October 7th!”
Today, downtown Ottawa. No more euphemisms, they are openly promoting terrorism and violence towards Jews. This is intolerable and it is time for Canadians to speak up.
Margaret Thatcher once said “the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
Finance Min. Chrystia Freeland looks hell-bent on putting that theory to the test.

In Canada you can get dragged before a Human Rights Tribunal for saying men aren't women but it's totally cool to call for extinction of Jews in Israel.
Selena Robinson’s true offense was being a Jew who publicly supports Israel.
Her resignation sends a clear message to David Eby’s caucus not to get caught on the wrong side of the Israel/Palestine issue.

It feels like Canada and Italy have changed places over the past year: Italy is now the respected “honest broker”/middle power; Canada is now the flailing basket case that can’t even pull off a simple state visit
Beyond irresponsible for someone of Ms. Elghawaby’s stature to use “a few bad apples” rhetoric amidst a nationwide epidemic of antisemitism. She needs to resign

Where is the antisemitism in this? People are getting tired of this broad definition that is only meant to protect Israel, hides its crimes and silence anti-genocide voices. You are doing no service to the victims of the Holocaust by continuing to play this dirty game.
Justin Trudeau, who hasn’t hesitated to play armchair quarterback throughout Israel’s war in Gaza, is now actively helping Hamas mount its last-stand defence against an IDF that sits on the one-yard line.

It's impossible to live a life of principle under this late capitalism, the latest term to describe this out-of-control freight train thundering across tracks of destruction around the world. At what point does knowledge become responsibility to act?
ppl need to realize that the only reason we are taught that Nazis are bad, is only bc Nazi Germany threatened the other empires of Europe. It was never about ideology, or protecting minorities, it was about the fact that Germany stepped out of the fold of western expectations.
Imagine for a second during WW2, if German citizens were blocking food and aid going into a concentration camp full of starving people.
No, Germans were evil but didn't go as far as today's Zionists.

It’s on reporters at this point - - they should know Poilievre’s schtick and come prepared. It’s like watching the Globetrotters dunk on the Generals time and time again
Pierre Poilievre tells a Canadian Press reporter:
"Our party does not support tax dollars for media outlets because that's when we end up with biased media like who come here and articulate the PMO talking points rather than delivering real news to the Canadian people."
@supriyadwivedi
Not trying to compare my credentials to yours (which are far loftier); just suggesting you skim a copy of the National Post from time to time - - you might get some insight on why your party’s in the crapper right now

I love how Pierre Poilievre is basically a character from Modern Family:

- Adoptive dad who now lives with another man ✅

For all the talk about the ‘Jewish lobby’ in Canada, it’s become clear over the past few days that the anti-Semitic vote here is (much) larger than the Jewish vote
I’m wondering how many Catholic churches even mentioned Gaza or the Palestinians and the ethnic cleansing of an entire people at their Easter services. Or are they just keeping quiet 🤐 in the middle of a genocide while Israel bombs Bethlehem
Justin Trudeau should totally be in the running for the next UN Special Envoy to the Middle East. In less than a week he’s managed to unite Jews and Muslims (against him)
"Even before becoming prime minister, Trudeau exhibited a total nonchalance toward debt that could only have come from someone who’s never in his life had to worry about money."

I’m running to be the next federal Conservative candidate and MP for Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill.
Help me be your voice in Ottawa:
They're pro-terror rallies. They've *always been* pro-terror rallies. They will *always be* pro-terror rallies. The rallies have not made the slightest attempt to conceal this because – and I can't stress this enough – they like terror and are angry that you don't.
“As Trudeau continues to give Israel a cold shoulder, word of spiking antisemitism in our major cities has reached Israel’s media. The contrast between his Canada and the country that, under Stephen Harper, earned the title of ‘Israel’s best friend,’ couldn’t be any more stark.”
"Under different circumstances (Jivani) would have Liberals salivating. Indeed, the parallels between he and ex-U.S. president Barack Obama are hard to ignore — right down to the Kenyan-born absentee father and the Ivy League law degree."
How about not starting a $1B school lunch program when your child-care program is in crisis and your PharmaCare program is basically just a pack of condoms and an insulin pen?
Raising taxes on Canadians would be politically suicidal. The feds know that. They also know that rates are going to start coming down later this year.
I'm open to a conversation about where and how we cut spending. But folks like Rahim have to be more specific about it.
