@MaximeBernier @PierrePoilievre @joerogan Oh sure, let’s help the Liberals by walking into their exact narrative. How many seats did you win again, Max? Sit down.

Were you scared @PierrePoilievre? @joerogan will have discovered that you are not a real conservative!

@MaximeBernier Who are you?

It’s over. Poilievre won’t be the next prime minister. He may even lose his seat. He bungled a 20-point lead because he was unable to differentiate himself from Carney and offer a truly conservative alternative. Now you have an important decision to make that will determine if we have a true conservative, libertarian and populist revival in Canada in the coming years — or not. You can either waste your vote on the fake Conservative losers, who are going to spend the coming years debating if they should be moving even more to the left to win next time, with Doug Ford as their next leader. Or you can contribute to making sure the PPC survives this election and is there over the next four years to continue to push the Overton Window in the right direction with its perfect common sense platform. Imagine how disastrous Canadian politics would be if the PPC just fades away. The polls give us only 1-2%. Can we get more than that? Your vote can make a small but important difference. Think about it.

@alancross @alancross - Again, stick to music. You know, the stuff you actually are good at? Because this you is an unwanted narrator.

If it wasn’t already clear, Trump proved today that he is the worst, dumbest, most unqualified, most arrogant, and most despicable politician in US history. I wish I had a time machine so I could import history books from the future so I could read all about hik.

@brianlilley Canada: Carney can’t fuck this tariff shit up any worse than it already is. Carney: Hold my Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 🍾

Here is the warning that Trump sent out to Canada on TruthSocial at 1:50 AM.

@DanKnightMMA @DanKnightMMA - I’ve given up. I’ve thrown in the towel. I’m exhausted. I’ve never felt so beaten down as a Canadian. Anyone who can stand there and say we still have a democracy is gullible and blind. We’ve lost Canada. And we lost it long ago.

Trudeau’s Power Grab Stands, But The Federal Court Just Opened the Door for Future Challenges OTTAWA, March 7, 2025 –If you’ve been following this case, you already know what’s at stake: whether Justin Trudeau—Canada’s most brazenly authoritarian Prime Minister in modern history—can shut down Parliament whenever he finds it politically inconvenient. Well, last night, the Federal Court of Canada, in all its wisdom, just gave him the green light. Chief Justice Paul S. Crampton released his decision, and while he acknowledged that the courts do have the power to review the Prime Minister’s use of prorogation, he ultimately ruled that Trudeau didn’t exceed his constitutional authority. That’s right—according to the Federal Court, it’s perfectly fine for a sitting Prime Minister to shut down Canada’s elected legislature while his party scrambles to pick a new leader. It’s fine to suspend oversight at a time when Canada is facing real, tangible threats, including Trump’s tariff war. It’s fine to use a legal loophole to avoid answering for one of the biggest financial scandals in Canadian history—the SDTC affair, which saw millions of taxpayer dollars funneled into thin air. Let’s be very clear about what happened here. On January 6, 2025, Justin Trudeau stood at a podium and declared that Parliament—Canada’s most important democratic institution—was “paralyzed.” He said it was no longer working, that it needed a reset, and that in the meantime, he was resigning. Oh, and conveniently, during that time, the Liberal Party would be selecting a new leader. Pause for a second and consider that. He wasn’t just shutting down debate on a single issue. He wasn’t suspending a single bill. He was shutting down Parliament entirely—the very institution meant to hold his government accountable. Now, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) immediately called this out for what it was—an unlawful, undemocratic, and unconstitutional seizure of power. They filed a legal challenge, and in that case, they pointed out some pretty basic, irrefutable facts: First, Parliament was not paralyzed. In the weeks leading up to prorogation, four separate bills had been passed. Does that sound like a government that isn’t functioning? Or does it sound like a Prime Minister who was simply looking for an excuse to silence his critics? Second, and more importantly, Trudeau wasn’t shutting down Parliament to “reset” anything—he was doing it to save his own party. His government was crumbling. His ministers were resigning. His own caucus was at war with itself. And just as an election loomed over his head, he pulled the plug on Parliament, giving his party a clean slate while robbing opposition parties of their ability to challenge him. And here’s the part the mainstream media will never report—this move wasn’t just about Trudeau’s political survival. It was also a blatant attempt to escape scrutiny over his government’s refusal to release documents related to the Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) scandal. If you don’t know what that is, it’s simple: Parliament ordered the Trudeau government to hand over records about how millions of taxpayer dollars mysteriously disappeared into politically connected environmental companies. The Trudeau government refused, defied Parliament, and then shut Parliament down before anyone could hold them accountable. JCCF’s lawyers made all of these arguments in court. They pointed out that Trudeau’s decision directly undermined the constitutional principles of parliamentary sovereignty, responsible government, and the separation of powers. They argued that a prorogued Parliament had no way to respond to Trump’s threats of tariffs, which could cripple Canada’s economy. They even cited Section 3 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms—the part that guarantees Canadians the right to “effective representation”—to argue that Trudeau had deprived millions of Canadians of their democratic voice. And what did Trudeau’s lawyers do? They argued that the courts had no business reviewing prorogation at all. That it was purely political and beyond legal scrutiny. That the Prime Minister could, theoretically, shut down Parliament indefinitely if he wanted to. In other words, Trudeau’s legal team just told a Federal Court that, yes, Canada has a Parliament, but if the Prime Minister decides to lock the doors and throw away the key, that’s his decision. Let’s go to the decision itself. The first major takeaway from Chief Justice Crampton’s ruling is that the court rejected Trudeau’s argument that prorogation is beyond judicial review. That’s an important win, and the JCCF deserves credit for forcing the courts to acknowledge that prime ministers aren’t dictators. As Crampton wrote: “The Prime Minister’s advice is in fact a critical lynchpin of the exercise of the Crown’s prerogative to prorogue Parliament.” So, the court could intervene—but it chose not to. Crampton ruled that Trudeau’s decision was legally valid, stating that: “The Applicants failed to demonstrate that the Prime Minister exceeded any of the limits established by the written Constitution or by the unwritten principles they identified.” He also dismissed the argument that Section 3 of the Charter could be used to limit prorogation, meaning that the right to “effective representation” does not, apparently, include the right to have a functioning Parliament. And here’s the part that really shows how weak this ruling is: “It is not possible to disentangle the various considerations identified by the Prime Minister, for the purpose of determining whether, on balance, he exceeded the scope of his constitutional and legal authority in making the Decision.” Read that again. The Chief Justice is essentially saying, Sure, this looks bad, and sure, the Prime Minister may have had partisan motives, but we can’t prove it, so we’re letting it slide. That’s not a legal ruling. That’s an excuse. Crampton even acknowledged that “the overall circumstances are troubling.” But instead of actually doing something about it, he said that deciding whether Trudeau acted inappropriately was “beyond the Court’s institutional capacity.” In other words: Not our problem. Now, ask yourself: If Stephen Harper had shut down Parliament for 11 weeks to save his own government, would the courts have ruled the same way? Would the media have ignored it? Would Canada’s political class have shrugged their shoulders and moved on? Of course not. So what does this mean for Canada? Well, if you’re a prime minister looking to avoid scrutiny, the playbook is now pretty clear. Got a scandal on your hands? Call Parliament “dysfunctional.” Worried about a non-confidence motion? Say Parliament needs a “reset.” Facing tough questions about your leadership? Shut everything down, hold a leadership race, and return when it’s politically convenient. And here’s the kicker: according to this ruling, you don’t even have to provide a real justification. You can just say it’s in the “public interest” and move on. But don’t just take my word for it. Listen to what constitutional lawyer Hatim Kheir had to say: “We are disappointed that the Prime Minister’s unprecedented use of the power to prorogue Parliament has been upheld. However, we are pleased to see that the Court has confirmed that the power to prorogue Parliament is not immune from review by the courts.” In other words, this fight isn’t over. And it shouldn’t be. Because if this ruling stands unchallenged, Canada is on a very dark path. A path where a prime minister can shut down democracy at will, where Parliament is nothing more than a rubber stamp, and where elected officials are sidelined whenever they become inconvenient. The court, in its own way, acknowledged that something is wrong here. It recognized that the circumstances of this prorogation were deeply concerning. It even rejected the government’s argument that the courts have no role in reviewing prorogation. But in the end, it still refused to act. And that’s the real tragedy of this decision. Not just that Trudeau got away with it, but that the court itself admitted that the entire situation stinks—and then shrugged. So, did we win? No. Trudeau got away with it—this time. But did we set a precedent? Absolutely. And that matters more than you might think. What does that mean? Well, for the first time, a Canadian court has officially ruled that the Prime Minister’s use of executive power to shut down Parliament is not beyond judicial review. That’s huge. Trudeau’s lawyers marched into court arguing that this was a purely political decision, untouchable by the judiciary. They wanted this case thrown out entirely. But the judge said no. He ruled that the courts can review a Prime Minister’s decision to prorogue Parliament. That might not sound like much, but it cracks open a door that has never been opened before. So if you’re mad, good. Stay mad. Get madder. But don’t just get angry—pay attention. Because this isn’t over. Trudeau got away with it this time, but the next time a Prime Minister tries to pull this stunt, they won’t have the same legal cover. And that’s because of this case. That’s why you need to support Democracy Watch. That’s why you need to support the JCCF. Because these are the people actually fighting to keep Canada from sliding into unchecked executive power. They are the ones holding Trudeau’s feet to the fire. And if they don’t do it—who will? This isn’t just about Trudeau. It’s about the future of Canada. And if you care about democracy, you don’t just walk away from this fight. You dig in. Because if they can get away with this once, they will do it again. And the next time, it could be even worse.

@Martyupnorth_2 It says Mom and Dad are still watching CBC news

Boomers still have the Liberals in 2nd. Every other demographic has them in 3rd. What does that say?

@joeroganhq @joerogan - Please excuse our drunk and delusional Aunt Lizzy May @ElizabethMay and her 1 seat Green Party. California alone would double our population and bankrupt whatever pipe dream she’s rambling on about.

How long would that invasion last? 😂🇺🇸

@Concern70732755 We need to boost his ego to ensure he doesn’t resign. If he runs, the Liberal government as we know it is decimated. If he resigns, they have a slim chance of hope. #youcandoitjustin

Who would rather vote him out of power instead of him resigning ??

@PierrePoilievre - The movie writes itself!

@alancross Once again, just stick to the music. The only time you should be shitting on Cybertruck is if they’re a band.

Okay, internet. Give me your best disparaging names for the Cybertruck. The one I heard today was “Douche Canoe.” Now you go.

@Martyupnorth_2 It’s just like our current government, @Martyupnorth_2 … look at all these little things and distract from the bigger issue.

There is a lot of Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated content on line, especially images. If you know what to look for, you can easily spot the fake stuff. I circled a few examples in this picture.

@alancross Stick to music, Alan.

A thought: fElon doesn’t care about Xitter anymore because he achieved his goal. Trump got re-elected and he’s now First Lady. Watch Xitter continue to lose users until it’s alike the burned out shell of a Tesla.

@liberal_party Hmmm. What rights and freedoms did your government trample on? I say “trample” tongue in cheek-ly, because you literally TRAMPLED the rights and freedoms of Canadians under the guise of a manufactured lie perpetuated by your bought-and-paid-for media. Time to fade to black, Libs.

Which rights and freedoms would Pierre Poilievre be willing to hit the override button on?

@theJagmeetSingh @theJagmeetSingh - enjoy propping up the Libs. It’ll be the last political moves you ever make. The NDP will be decimated worse than the Libs. You could save a little face and help provoke an early election, but we know you won’t… so that’s why you’ll be a memory blip

In another ridiculous move from Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives, they tried to censor an important part of worker's history in this country. Today, with reminders of the historic fight for workers rights around me - I spoke on the importance of anti-scab legislation - something that would give more power to workers and less to Big Bosses. The Conservatives interrupted me. They were upset that I was in front of a sign referencing a strike from over 100 years ago. Pierre Poilievre is no friend to workers. He doesn't show up for them - and he never will.

@liberal_party Oh be quiet and sink peacefully into obscurity.

Poilievre’s Conservatives are coming for your health care.

@theJagmeetSingh This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. Let’s tax colours next.

New Democrats are fighting to put a stop to grocery greed. Here’s what we’re going to do: Make Big Grocery pay what they owe. Lower your grocery prices. Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre can either side with Canadians struggling or with Grocery Giants making record prices.

@liberal_party Hey-hey, nanna-nah-nah, GOODBYE!

The choice is clear.

@SeamusORegan I prefer: “This government is past its usefulness and has exhausted its slim stock of moral authority. It is stumbling and shabby and shallow, and consumed with only one thing: keeping the SS Liberal government […] afloat for just another spell…” - #RexMurphy

‘I respect and understand the great claims for diversity, but let's not forget coherence, let's not forget continuities, let's not forget themes and commonness, the things we share. Our politics has to live up to the country that it seeks to administer.’   RIP Rex Murphy.

@govt_corrupt Very bad, indeed @govt_corrupt …
