@PierrePoilievre didn't post it on his Twitter feed but condemned 'vile' views of Germany's @AndersonAfDMdEP in the media.
POLL: Will @PierrePoilievre remove CPC MPs Dean Allison, Colin Carrie & Leslyn Lewis who met with Anderson at a paid dinner from the CPC caucus?
Pls Comment
@globalnews @CBCNews @CTVNews @NatObserver all reported Poilievre denounced 'vile' and 'racist' views of @AndersonAfDMdEP who met with 3 of his MPs, 2 of whom (Lewis & Allison) have postured that didn't know who she was or what she believes. Image

@PierrePoilievre's dishonest and shameful 'blame it all on Trudeau' campaign for things the PM does not control rages on. In fact, the PM does not control #foodpricing, #fueloilpricing, #rentpricing, #mortgagepaymentpricing or #interestrates in Canada.
IMO @PierrePoilievre 's dishonourable rhetoric on rising food, gas, oil prices, interest rates & rents is evidence of intent to deceive.
Why doesn't the media challenge him to provide alternative proposals instead of publishing his attacks on Trudeau for things he can't control?
@PierrePoilievre knows that #groceryprices result from factors that include yields, weather, wildfires, drought, global supply chain problems and grocery chain price gouging, etc. Implying otherwise is #misinformation.

We woke up to a foot of snow and our forested acreage looked like a Christmas card. The beauty is deceptive, aside from the cold we have had 2 power outages so far and more snow is falling. If I disappear from a discussion again it will be due to a power outage.
UPDATE: The B.C. Hydro crew arrived to fell the very tall, very old dying fir tree on our property that threatens to fall over the power line. This is a tricky piece of work requiring 3 men and a bucket truck to take it down in pieces. This has been on the waitlist for months.
ANOTHER UPDATE: The crew climbed the tree, cut & dropped branches, then cut them to firewood length & used the chipper for what remained. Now they are getting ready to climb again and bring down the trunk in pieces. They are pros but we are still concerned about their safety.

Good news. House of Commons committee votes to expand foreign election interference probe days after a new report of Chinese attempts to meddle in Canada’s federal elections became news. #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/9500434/f…
Contrast that article with this one from November 2022. Debunking Claims Of Supposed Chinese Election Interference. An Atlantic Council report alleging China interfered in the 2021 federal election is based on the flimsiest of evidence. #cdnpoli readpassage.com/debunking-clai…

I love the one-word change and will be singing it. Singer Jully Black's one-word change to O Canada at NBA All-Star game draws praise. She sang 'O Canada! Our home on native land,' with emphasis on the word 'on' cbc.ca/news/entertain…
