Man who's only job, ever, was member of Parliament complains that taxation is theft.

This shift was set in motion by the resignation of Justin Trudeau as the leader of the Liberal Party, though he remains prime minister for the short remainder of his government’s term. It appears nearly inevitable that Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives will form a government — likely a strong majority government, capable of governing with near impunity.

lol wut

The shift didn’t start recently. This bully walking attack ad has been the shift since Canada started acting almost as stupid as the US and since everyone thought it was funny that Fuck Trudeau stickers were a cool protest.

I consider the USA the stupidest populous on earth, not exaggerating. I consider us about to lower to their level because we are almost there.

He had the option to get a security clearance to see who in Parliament was under foreign influence, but declined.

Because the report is about him.

Oh that’s always a good idea.

Cripes, I’m sorry Canada. I hope you can weather this attack.

Pierre Polievre couldn't find his own ass with both hands, a flashlight, and a map.

Canadian people don't care about others as much as they claim they do. Would you vote for government to take away more of your money, pay a higher sales tax, higher government fees, higher income tax for all people, to pay for helping needy people, or would you vote to eliminate income tax and you give away your own cash to help people around you?

I eould vote for higher taxes, I am extremely inefficient at large scale programs.

I also don't like donating, ask the grocery store.
