Canada is a nice little country where not long ago a guy drove from Winnipeg to Ottawa to storm the PM’s residence with guns, and where this troubled far-right guy is threatening the leader of a federal party the day after doing so to journalists. We may have to face some things.
Drove from BOWSMAN, Manitoba, not Winnipeg, but the rest stands.

In which @CTVNews points out that in his scummy rant towards a CP reporter, Pierre Poilievre just lied. No time zone garbage, no related CTV story BS. He lied. And so many people fell all over themselves to make up BS to cover for him. ctvnews.ca/politics/feds-…

A whole industry of conservatives and recently created bots on Twitter first tried screenshots of news alerts from different time zones to prove Poilievre was right. It was really dumb: the story in question was time stamped, and tweeted by @rachelaiello at the same time.
Then those people pointed to a second CTV story about the bridge incident which, rewritten through the day, cited the first story but not clearly. It was timestamped earlier, but CTV has now clarified they reported the terror designation at 2:39 EDT, 15 minutes after Pierre spoke

“He wouldn’t stop. He had an intimidating presence." When an older couple yelled at a nine-year-old girl at a track meet — she's a boy, she's trans, her moms were genital mutilators, groomers, pedophiles — it made you ask, who do we want to be, in Canada? thestar.com/opinion/star-c…
This stuff is malevolent and malignant, and it’s happening in Canada.
Josef Tesar at his wife deny the allegations, except, why then did organizers move the shot put event across the field, away from him? castanet.net/news/Kelowna/4…

Fact-based, evidence-based, real world-based. There seems to be a coordinated attack on safe supply, from the omission-heavy Vancouver Is Dying doc, to the more recent version Pierre tweeted, to that very questionable piece in the NP. () Very ugly stuff. Image

See, there can be adverse reactions to vaccines; they’re just nothing like what the anti-vaccine crowd claims they are, and are still exceedingly rare, and even reporting is hindered by anti-vax sentiment. He should have his medical costs covered in a settlement.
Billions of shots have been given out, and statistically, the rate of adverse reactions is minuscule, while the benefits are tremendous, even life-saving. It should be an easy call.
Many who attack vaccines do so in such transparent bad faith and it's monstrous, but more, it's a desperate attempt to blame the effects on the virus on the single best defence against the virus.

No matter how many times Hockey Canada’s leaders speak, they fail to make a case for the leaders at Hockey Canada to stay in their roles. Will the rink lights stay on if they are replaced? They sure as hell would. thestar.com/sports/hockey/…
Quebec likes going its own way, but this is still a move.

It’s not surprising that Canada has enough victims of misinformation or hate or inchoate anger to form this so-called Freedom Convoy. But the way Canada’s conservatives are embracing all of that - or enough - is a sad, clarifying show of where we’re going. thestar.com/opinion/star-c…
