Hey guys. Did anyone else notice little gem from a *Fortune* article on Pierre?

“Meanwhile, Canada’s toned-down version of Donald Trump, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, has seen his support slump amid a wave of newfound nationalism north of the border.”

… you heard it here first PP = “toned down” DT #TheAmericanFascist

😂 Never thought I would cheer for an article from Fortune. 😂

Progreesives may bicker amongst friends, but no one gets the knives out like the rightwing. Why? Because when your ideology is based around selfishness, greed, and sociopathic behaviour, that shit don't discriminate. 😂

"As Conservative infighting over how the campaign is handling U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats spills into the open, sources within the party are describing a "dysfunctional" campaign with too much centralized power and belittling and aggressive treatment of staff.

More than half a dozen Conservatives, who spoke to CBC News on the condition they not be named for fear of retribution, describe a campaign that is "highly disorganized" and "a mess." The sources include individuals both inside and outside the campaign."

“Seen near the entrance [to a #PiPiLeQ rally in Surrey, BC on 27 March] is a table of confiscated items that were being held for people to collect on their way out of the rally. There were a number of knives, e-cigarettes, Canadian MAGA hats, one red ‘Make America Great Again’ cap and two signs. One that said ‘Klaus Schwab W.E.F. Carney’.”

Nice to be known by the company you keep, innit?

Carney is a fraud. You know it. I know it. The evidence is piling up.

🇨🇦 Conservative MP Jivani is Pierre #Poilievre's direct MAGA-line to the US administration. Jamil Jivani attended the Trump inauguration & was a groomsman at Vance's wedding - they are best friends from university.
After Mr Jivani was fired from his radio-host job for spouting anti-science & anti-LGBTQ slurs, Poilievre parachuted him into the #Ontario riding of Durham.

#India was interested in the #CPC leadership principally because of #PatrickBrown, who once drew political benefit from PM Modi's support (at one point, to general surprise, he became leader of the Ontario Tories), but the two have since fallen out. India thus wanted to make sure Mr. Brown didn't win, but with his ouster from the race (for breaking unspecified rules), their main goal was satisfied.

@pinhman Alberta MP Michael Cooper seems the most obvious choice because Mr & Mrs #Poilievre call him a long-time friend, but his connection to this specific immigration situation didn't seem 100% clear in the article.

Here is the aforementioned Conservative MP Cooper happily voicing his support for the #Ottawa convoy in front of a defaced Canadian flag. 😡

Nathan Cullen: Tom Mulcair is wrong. The NDP belongs in Parliament

It's true, Parliament benefits from the presence of the #NDP, notwithstanding the fact I normally think their policies are mistaken. In fact, it was disappointing to read #TomMulcair say otherwise.

nationalpostNathan Cullen: Tom Mulcair is wrong. The NDP belongs in ParliamentNow, more than ever, Jagmeet Singh's compassion is needed

“He represents the dark side of our nature” writes Mark Bourrie, author of the new Pierre #Poilievre biography, Ripper.

“He’s an angry teenager in the body of a grown man”

"Poilievre’s relentless hyperbolic smearing of the country’s condition – while never putting it in perspective with the global forces battering nations everywhere – made Canadians feel worse than warranted"
"He drove the mood of the country down"
