š§µ> Reporters, reporters, Iām begging you: Donāt do this. Never get into a pissing match with a skunk. The skunk has a deadlier weapon, and you spend the rest of your day trying to smell like a human again. -> 
<- Donāt allow guys like #Poilievre to draw you into an argument in scrums and newsers.
The moment you do, youāre an unpaid actor in his endless morality soap.

Mr Poilievre, my dad was a common man-son of a common mum & dad - they ran a general store. One day, customers, common folk, looted the store- cheered the Adler Family's deportation to Auschwitz. Why? They were manipulated by Populists-posing as hero worshippers of Common people.
Let's speak clearly. Not saying that the Cdn cultural and economic conditions are ripe for the brand of Fascism that swept Europe in the 30s &40s. What I am saying is that Populism is almost always led by charlatans who manipulate common people by pretending to hero worship them.
My favorite time of year, the NHL playoffs begin tomorrow. The common people who love hockey will be in the stands and in front of their TVs, watching the uncommonly gifted expert athletes playing the game we love.
So much kefuffle around China and itās alleged election interference, compromised democracy and PM Trudeauās supposed insouciant attitude or, worse, his and his governmentās compliance. It all sounds terribly frightening and in need of speedy investigation and correction. But 1/
Iām starting to feel like itās rather more simple than most feel or understand., like:
1) China, Russia, USA and more - all interfere in Canadaās internal politics and have for many years. They e supported all parties from time to time and elected governments too. But despite 2/

ā¦all their efforts and cash spent, the net interference in, disruption of, or actual real impact on Canadaās elections is - zero, none, zip, nada. And that doesnāt seem to be in dispute really by anyone. So, given that the āinterferenceā happens all day every day, 3/
š§µ A few years ago, Canadians associated #conspiracytheories with harmless lunacy promoted by nutbars. Then the COVID19 pandemic brought them to the forefront during the so-called #FreedomConvoy and #OttawaOccupation.
From #QAnon , #SoldiersofOdin, #Diagolon, #YellowVests so-called Christians etc. passing as truckers while spouting hateful white nationalism, racism, Islamophobia rhetoic and backed financially by several American far-right groups, the craziness revealed was much closer to home
Ir was so close to home that the Interim CPC Leader Bergen, past CPC Leader Scheer and current CPC Leader Poilievre met with them. The latter even provided donuts and marched with the so-called protestors who plotted a coup of a duly elected govt.

š§µ: In the comments of this post - which the actions in the video are horrendous enough - it is referred to as how all elected officials should be treated this way, and we should bring back guillotines back into every square for politicians. The irony is there is this sense 1/
that we need to get rid of all of these horrible politicians and somehow good ones backā¦ but honest question here. Why the fuck does anyone want to get involved in this?! I had someone reach out to me the other night to say how much they missed me on Council and hoped I was 2/
doing okay and I replied how great I am, and how much happier I am off of Council. Itās the first time in 3 years I have gone a couple months without death threats, threats of being sued or charged or horrible comments in my inbox or voicemail. Itās actually a weight off 3/
The emotional & intellectual immaturity of a man who speaks to people who deny science, residential schools, & are racists & homophobic says to me that he really doesn't want to be Prime Minister.

āAt some point Mr. Poilievre needs to begin showing that he is prime ministerial material, that he has the gravitas to ascend to such an important position. Because up to now, heās been one of the least serious Conservative leaders we have seen ā¦ā

And the party leader which courts extremism in Canada? Pierre Poilievre:
