Canadian Crone<p>Is this trump’s “they stole the elexn“?

@Sanderde #Con coffers must be rewarding him handsomely or they’ve arranged to fast track his pension payments. There’s definitely some behind-the-scenes arrangements in place. And given our #CdnMedia is 2/3 owned by an American billionaire, #AnthonyMelchiorre, who has close ties to Republicans, there is no interest in advocating for Canadians. The Republican Party wants #PeePee to win as he’s prepared to kiss the ring.

@AlisonCreekside #Cons continue to con. And how does #CdnMedia respond: “Meh, Carney accused of wanting free ride and hiding from public amid latest campaign. “
Remember, 2/3 of our Canadian media is owned by an American billionaire who is closely aligned with Republicans. And Republicans don’t want #PMMC to win. #PeePee is much more receptive to #donaldTheFuhrer and prepared, together with #ABDanielleSmith, to kiss the ring. So #CPC #Con and #MelissaLantsman hypocrisy, meh. Move along.

#ChairmanHarper supports #PP. He desperately wants his #SeducedStooge to win.

Latest #Con email: “Did you see what happened last night? Stephen Harper rallied with Pierre and 15,000 patriots last night in Edmonton. And said this:

“My choice, without hesitation, without equivocation, without a shadow of a doubt, is Pierre Poilievre”.

Signed: Rt. Hon. Stephen J. Harper

STEPHEN HARPER BACKS PIERRE He knows that this election will decide Canada’s future.“ 1/2
