Yes

I'm not gaslighting anyone; I'm citing the law. You're talking about the case of Kiano Vafaeian. While it's a tragic story, he wasn't approved for 'seasonal depression.' Legally, he was approved under Track 2 for physical conditions (diabetes and vision loss). Whether or not you think those should qualify is a fair debate, but under current Canadian law (Bill C-62), no one can be approved for mental illness alone until 2027. The '1 in 20' stat Rogan used applies to the whole country, where 95.6% of cases are terminally ill seniors. Using one outlier case with a physical diagnosis to describe the entire 5% of deaths is exactly what 'framing' means. 🇨🇦 Sources: Health Canada 6th Annual Report (Nov 2025) Bill C-62 (Mental Illness Exclusion)"

Danielle Smith insists there’s no overlap between govt & the “corrupt care” scandal. Anyways! Here’s Dani in the UAE with… Marshall Smith - Her former CoS who lived in a Mraiche family mansion… Sam Jaber - Mraiche’s accountant whose office was raided by the RCMP yesterday.

This is without a doubt the best clip from Pierre Poilievre’s appearance on Joe Rogan:

I see a bit of a "math struggle" in some of the comments. So let me help clear the air. Total MAID Cases: 16,499 (5.1% of all deaths) Track 1 (Terminal): 15,767 (95.6% of cases) Track 2 (Chronic): 732 (4.4% of cases) Mental Illness (Sole): ZERO (0%) Minors/Kids: ZERO (0%) To be clear: Under Bill C-62, it is currently ILLEGAL in Canada to receive MAID for "seasonal depression" or any mental illness as a sole condition. Furthermore, MAID is strictly limited to adults 18+. We can debate the ethics of the policy, but we can't debate the law. Accuracy matters. Source: Health Canada 6th Annual Report (Nov 2025)

You wanna know what? When my poll numbers start tanking the best thing I could do is to act like a dick and go on misogynist podcasts. Yeah!

I just sat through the entire 2-hour and 23-minute @joerogan Experience interview with @PierrePoilievre you don't have to. ⏱️ Yes, I survived the deep dives into Russian kettlebell history, 90s kickboxing, and Bobby Orr's knees to extract the actual political substance. Between the MMA tangents, Poilievre dropped a bunch of claims. Some are actually spot-on (yes, it happens even with Poilievre), some are missing massive context, and a couple directly contradict his own record. I’m bringing the receipts. 🧾 Over the next 5 posts, we are going to reality-check: 🔍 The Top 3 biggest testable claims 🩴 2 major political flip-flops Buckle up. Thread below 🧵👇

This is good stuff. Humble Poilievre is much more likeable than abrasive Poilievre. There's a story to be told about how he smartened up. Not hard to imagine this guy as pm one day if he keeps this up.

@BurchatLouella When his handler is the same handler as the Epstein/Israel/Trump handler, then it all makes sense

@ProjectPearson I don't get what he's trying to accompIish?, we are aII as Canadians "Canada first" #eIbowsup and buy Canadian, and he's doing a MAGA, white Christian nationalist tour of USA, doesn't make sense to me

This is green screen. Joe Rogan. American flags. Sad

Um. What?

- 60,000 jobs killed in past two months - manufacturing being hit hard - housing construction flatlined - hospitals and courts understaffed - education ponzi collapse - scandal after scandal on the waterfront - unsafe roads in the North And Doug’s focus is a medal for Don Cherry

@gmacofglebe Hat's Off Nate Pike @TheBreakdownAB and also Carrie Tait - separately they followed facts, spoke out and stuck to the story when no one else seemed bothered. And Nate had to face SLAPP suit - attempt to shut him up about Sam Mraiche and #CorruptCare. MAID is a UCP distraction bid

🌞Good morning from France. The Pleb is back. And Poilievre is going on Joe Rogan. Well...well.. well. Poilievre going on Joe Rogan isn’t some career-saving masterstroke. It’s a reach play, not a reset button. Yes, Rogan has a massive global audience. Yes, it gives Poilievre long-form, unfiltered time to talk directly to people. And yes, it might generate a few viral clips. But let’s be real about what this actually does, and what it doesn’t. Poilievre’s problem isn’t exposure. Canadians already know who he is. The issue is persuasion, trust, credibility, and broad appeal. A podcast doesn’t fix that. And here’s the bigger reality check: Joe Rogan is huge online, but in Canada? He’s known, not dominant. His audience skews younger, male, and anti-establishment (like the Gruvenmama) which overlaps heavily with people Poilievre is already reaching… or already winning. That’s the risk: preaching to the converted. Best case? He comes across more human, reaches a few disengaged voters, and gets some traction online. Worst case? It reinforces the exact image that’s limiting his appeal with the voters he actually needs. Either way, one interview doesn’t change leadership trajectories. This isn’t a comeback moment. It’s a strategy shift, away from traditional media and toward direct-to-audience platforms. Will it matter? A little. Will it save his leadership? No. Will most Canadians care? Not really. And that’s the whole point. #cdnpoli #PierrePoilievre #JoeRogan #CanadianPolitics #CPC #CanadaVotes #PoliticalStrategy #Media #PodcastPolitics #ElbowsUp #Canada

If you're spiritual or religious you maybe follow a particular deity and their teachings. Or not. Up to you. Either way if one invokes a belief system, maybe follow it? James is right. The MAGA Taliban is wrong.

The kettle bell alone is more than enough to sway those in the middle who didn’t vote for him last time.
