It's wild to me that we're about to give the CRTC more power to regulate what Canadians can see and say online, when they can't even stop Canadians from receiving 3-4 scam calls each day.
Yesterday, I missed Stephen Harper because he wasn't a financial disaster like Justin Trudeau.
Today, I miss Stephen Harper because he wasn't a crook like Justin Trudeau.

No ums, no ahs, no teleprompter - just the facts about Canada’s economy told with passion and conviction.
Pierre was right when he warned about inflation in 2020 and he’s right now.
This ad is now 12 years old and helped Stephen Harper secure a majority government.
It's a stark reminder of Canada's stark decline in quality of life and standing abroad since 2015.
Thankfully, the country seems poised to a return to common sense and competent leadership.
Counterpoint: Meta doesn’t need Canadian media, Canadian media needs Meta.
But ya’ll got addicted to government subsidies and failed to innovate and make a product Canadians wanted.
Wait until Google stops showing Global News in its search results.

Let’s not overlook the massive crowds Pierre is drawing in Liberal and NDP strongholds.

2. Okay, Pierre is popular on social media, but not in real life.

This is the worst political comms
I’ve ever seen.
Trudeau is complaining being PM is boring, is a huge personal sacrifice and he thinks about quitting daily.
So new polling from Leger and Abacus has the Liberals hemorrhaging seats in Montreal and Toronto.
Even if they keep Freeland and Miller's seats, a lot of these guys won't stick around in opposition.
Between that and the Liberal's membership rules being easily co-opted by

Pierre is actually built to win. He is weaving together a new conservative coalition that reflects modern Canada.
Pierre has the audacity to point out the obvious. He has the audacity to want change.
The haters will never be pleased - but that just means Pierre is winning.
Adam, our ownership is Jewish, Muslim and whatever the hell I am (Christian agnostic?). Our writers are more diverse than the legacy media your government is bailing out.
You only think we are “extreme” because we aren’t all enamoured with Justin Trudeau.
@Alexei_Simakov
There are organizations deliberately spreading outrageous and false news often in support of extremists. You may support this under the banner of free speech I don’t. It literally puts people in harms way and that’s wrong
#DontSpreadHate
Justin Trudeau is planning to form a coalition gov't with the NDP – so he can remain Prime Minister.
But it’s the coalition you can’t afford.
Only a Conservative majority gov't can stop Trudeau and the NDP from scheming together to take even more money out of your pockets.
Thank you,

Second: Bill C-18 will empower the government to decide which journalists succeed and fail on social media by giving extra money to “eligible news businesses.”
But here’s the catch: The government gets to decide what is and is not a “news business.”
Let's keep in mind there are a lot of insiders dependent on the Liberal status quo. They can't admit to themselves that change is coming.
If Pierre walked on water, his haters would say he couldn't swim.
This means that content from your favourite social media accounts outside of Canada will be suppressed. If you have family in other countries, that means news impacting your family could be hidden from you.
"When I'm prime minister, my obsession—my daily obsession—will be about what is good for the working class people of this country," Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says in an address to the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade.

4. Fine, Pierre gets crowds, but they're not diverse enough.
5. Yes, Pierre attracted over 1,000 people in downtown Toronto but Andrew Coyne is still skeptical.
Dozens of volunteers at Surrey's Dukh Nivaran Sahib Gurdwara cooked more than 3000 meals for those stranded in Hope. They're paying for private helicopters to deliver meals (roti, cooked carrots, fruit) Wed AM - and will try for more trips in the coming days

But if you’re a content creator, that means your content will risk getting suppressed if you can’t prove to the government that it’s “Canadian” enough.
On Facebook, Michelle Obama, despite being promoted by the traditional media giants, couldn't scratch the virality of Klacik and the new media outlets who pushed her.
CPC Leader Erin O’Toole just put out his platform. I’ve taken a look through out and here are some of the key things he is promising, in no particular order.
One important note, it is not costed yet but the CPC sent it to the PBO yesterday once the election started

Using music from a “foreign” country, using pictures or videos shot in a “foreign” country, or having actors would all contribute to making your content less “Canadian.”
Canada's traditional elites have already lost control of the news/media consumption, now they're going to lose control of the Liberal Party.
The next couple of years in Canada is going to be wild.
Across the country, inflation has been skyrocketing. Hardworking Canadians are being hurt by the rising cost of everything because paycheques aren't going as far.
This is very disturbing. The Liberals are using a pandemic to push through legislation that grossly violates freedom of speech.
