The House of Commons is for the PEOPLE and if any party turns it into a circus, they are clearly breaching their professional, moral and ethical obligations as being elected by CANADIANS! They are mocking ALL of us! Think about that🤔 BRAVA Ms. Gould!

I will no longer entertain Mr. Poilievre’s temper tantrums.   The Conservatives should reflect on their reckless behaviour and the disrespect they’re showing Canadians with their petty partisan games.   No matter how hard Mr. Poilievre tries, he cannot hide who he is.

@althiaraj This "movement" has a very dark core, & anyone that thinks it is about “freedom” is either delusional or naive. I prefer to think that the bulk of disbelief is due to naiivité *sigh* P.S. fueled by populist politics to boot.

@ColinDMello If the Government does not follow the rules - how can you expect the citizens to do so. ON government starts by leading by example. Oh, I forgot, you don't have to!!!! There seems to be a trend here, @fordnation . It is also a specific party that is leading this. 🤔
