Our (Canada's) PM ( @JustinTrudeau ) is so good with kids, they're clearly important to him. And you can tell watching him interact with them, that he respects them.

I AM SO ANGRY! Our neighbours are having a garage sale. There are multiple cars lined up along the street, with unmasked people getting out and mingling. Everyone touching everything, hanging out, talking & laughing. There's balloons & a coffee thermos.

Is it gaslighting, when the new CPC leader uses his background in the military as a selling point for his party - when he was Canada's Veterans Affairs Minister under former CPC PM Harper? After all, Harper's govt hurt vets: killed pensions, shut offices, cut benefits, sat on $$

anyone-else feel the same way that I do, re COVAX story? There is SO much misinfo. Disappointing to see that misinfo is by Cda's opposition leaders: fed NDP, GPC & CPC. This feels like they're taking advantage of our emotions, & Cdns are deliberately being manipulated ...

Erin O'Toole keeps saying: "My Dad worked at General Motors." He says this in conjunction with speaking about supporting unions. The implication is, that his Dad was on the assembly line. I find this dishonest, IMHO. John O'Toole worked in upper management.

Conservative pundit claimed bot tweet was positive & not misinfo ( @PnPCBC ). Respectfully, I disagree. Inorganic online activity by non-Cdns who didn't attend Poilievre's rally, falsely claiming they attended, is misinfo misleading Cdns, no different than if fake polls posted.

Notice how there's no CPC MP who is expressing concern over their leader's behaviour - whether it's his bullying or his dishonesty. So, if they think at some point they need a new leader (they go through them like Kleenex after all), don't forget Poilievre isn't the only problem.

When Poilievre's supporters think it's "holding the govt to account" by lying about what the govt is doing or lying about the relationship (such as it is) between Trudeau and Johnston, then we have a problem. Somehow, the govt needs to do a better job of fact-checking Poilievre.

The PM shouldn't have said "spineless leadership" but withdrew it and rephrased his response. Poilievre refused to withdraw saying "whacko prime minister." So, when the dust settled - it was NOT equal on both sides. @PnPCBC

IMHO, the Cdn federal govt's hand was forced with regards to the use of the emergencies act. In an ideal situation, the municipal and provincial govts would've done their jobs and the feds wouldn't have had to step in finally - after weeks of inaction by Ottawa police and OPP.

PM Trudeau @JustinTrudeau says he's standing by, offering help to Alberta. I really hope Premier Kenney @jkenney can set aside any personal feelings he has about PMJT and the LPC, and will put us Albertans before his politics. Albertans would see this as good leadership (IMHO)

I really think it's a false equivalency, when pundits refer to how degraded politics has become on all sides, as though Trudeau is as bad as Poilievre. Poilievre said PMJT is a "self-righteous narcissist wagging his finger." I don't recall Trudeau speaking like that.

Poilievre asked why he wasn't on the Hill today to attend raising of Pride flag. His answer was that he was on the Hill until midnight last night. Is he saying he was too tired to honour Pride? I hope this is included on @PnPCBC , if they discuss his *Fauxilibuster (*h/t @kady )
