They're lucky it's a short campaign. They only have time to lose 10% of their candidates at this rate.

The CBC's Evan Dyer talks about what it's like trying to cover Poillievre's campaign as the CPC bus tours the country and the party tightly controls questions from reporters.
"Today, in Trois-Rivières, we asked to be allotted a question. Party staffers said yes, so long as it was asked by my colleague Tom Parry. We responded that I would prefer to ask it. At that point the party took away our question and gave it to another outlet.
The difficulty of trying to keep up with a campaign that has its own chartered aircraft is a logistical problem that can be mitigated to some extent. But the extreme message control makes it all but impossible to bring the same level of accountability to the Poilievre campaign that other campaigns are subject to. It also protects the campaign from having to answer tough questions and is a marked departure from previous Conservative campaigns I have covered.”

CBCCanada election: Future of CBC/Radio-Canada in spotlight as leaders pitch how they'd tackle domestic spending | CBC
The CPC has now dropped FIVE candidates just this week.
This guy is in Québec.
"In one Facebook comment directed at Provost, Payette said he wanted to have a debate with her and "rip up C-21" — gun control amendments for which [École Polytechnique survivor] Provost helped lobby — and use it as toilet paper "to do justice to the country's sport shooters.””
Right wing gun nut misogynist idiot.

Gotta say - once again with feeling - how much I love the warm efficiency of #ElectionsCanada.
I’ve worked as a volunteer party scrutineer and as a paid poll clerk and it always amazes me how well our elections roll out.
Such pros.
The aim is always to make voting as calm and as easy for people as possible.
Example: The list of what ID to use is quite long but they work at presenting it clearly. #canada #cdnpoli

What are the largest global trading economies? The USA's share of global trade? 9%
As the largest importer, those tariffs are gonna hurt people in the USA.
~~~
In 2019, the top-five largest trading economies in terms of share of global trade were the European Union, the United States, China, Japan and the United Kingdom (UK).
Considering EU member states individually, China was the largest exporter, while the United States was the largest importer. In goods trade, the United States was the largest importer and second-largest exporter (behind China). In services trade, the United States was both the largest importer and exporter.
The U.S. share of global goods trade has fallen over the past several decades—from 15% in 1970 to 9% in 2019—largely due to the rapid increase of global trade, especially among developing countries and emerging markets.

Smart move by Carney - most Canadians want the CBC.
"When we compare ourselves to the U.K., France or Germany, we see that our public broadcaster is underfunded," Carney said in French during a campaign stop in Montreal. "That has to change."

Every once in awhile, I wonder if Nathan Cullen had won the leadership of the NDP in 2015 in place of Tom Mulcair, if we would have had our first Federal NDP government.
Nathan was one of the most progressive voices in Parliament.
Instead, we have Mulcair chopping at the knees of "his" former party.
I like Jagmeet Singh a lot, but it seems at the end of his rope and a big part is because of insiders like Mulcair never supporting him.

Reminder: this is what Mulcair said after his party decided to have a leadership race to replace him.
"Mulcair stressed the importance that New Democrats remain "united" going forward, and said his replacement should have the "absolute and complete support of 100 per cent" of the party."
Hypocrite.

"The carbon tax that had an effect on prices of carbon intensive products - that was not making affordability worse. The average Canadian was made better off because of the rebates that were associated with the carbon tax."
"Never try to solve an income problem with prices. This is not a price problem. Affordability is about incomes; affordability is not about prices."

As #Canadians vote for our new Prime Minister, lest we forget how #PierrePoilievre used #RemembranceDay to denigrate activists and organizers he deemed “too woke” via his populist X account.
"What an absolute disgrace that so many woke activists & authorities used Remembrance Day to push their divisive and radical causes, denigrating our history and the brave military members who sacrificed for it," Poilievre said in a social media post Tuesday.
Divide and conquer is not a strategy that will unite #Canada against our true shared threat, fascist America and it’s war on truth.

I think we need to organize, mobilize, protest and occupy the streets to get rid of fascists.
Then more activist action when that isn't enough.
I think the time has passed for us to point out their hypocrisy. We've been doing it about #MAGA for 10 years now. They revel in how it annoys us. They think we're cucks.
We know they're irrational. They don't care. They don't think like us. Get. In. The. Streets.
