“Conservative Candidate Used a Secret Signal Group Chat With Freedom Convoy Leaders, Right-Wing Media and Far-Right Influencers

Andrew Lawton was a member of the “clandestine” group chat used to coordinate convoy messaging on social media”

I see that the level of support for the Bloc has now fallen to meet that of the #CPC in #Québec at 23%. Support for the Liberals is still on the rise...

“In videos posted on social media, Aaron Gunn – the Conservative candidate in North Island-Powell River in British Columbia – has said Canada’s program of residential schools did not constitute an act of genocide and that the schools are “much-maligned.”

“There was no genocide. Stop lying to people and read a book,” Gunn wrote in 2020.”

CPC just dropped their fourth candidate in 2 days. Don Patel no longer the #CPC candidate in Etobicoke North after Patel endorsed a social media post that suggested deporting Sikh activists to India so "Modi can take care of these nonsense people." 4 axed in 2 days. Unprecedented in my experience. #elxn45

I created a line chart from the data of polls tracked by 338Canada.com. I wanted to see it myself.

Nothing revelatory here but I really wanted to watch that CPC and NDP trend. This makes it easier than looking at the table.

Looks like the CPC is stuck in the 35-40% band. The LPC has reached its peak around 45% and the NDP and Bloc found their bottoms at 6% and 4% respectively.

Will the #TrumpTariffs produce a shift?

Here’s a fun little video I dug up for an earlier conversation. It’s from the Conservative Party’s leadership debate and it has then Conservative leadership hopefuls Roman Barber, Leslyn Lewis and Pierre Poilievre arguing over who supported the illegal #FreedomConvoy occupation of Ottawa harder.

**Watch for a Special cameo by Jamil Javali, best friend of JD Vance.

Me, waiting for the dirt on why Lourence Singh was dropped by the Conservatives.

This story by @llebrun removes any doubt that the #CPC with its leader #poilievre is anything more than a mafia thug syndicate. #cdnpoli

#Canada beware of pols claiming 45's 51st state threats are a 'joke' or simply a ruse to 'get a better deal for the us'

They are touting this line so that Cdns will lower their guard this #election and vote for a #CPC party/leader who has no security clearance & is

45's annexation threats are very much real. Why else would P Navarro seek to remove Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence sharing group?
