🚨 Mark Carney’s Liberals are currently working to poach 10 ADDITIONAL MPs, to cross the floor to the Liberals and strengthen their majority
Hey Canadians 🇨🇦 One thing that keeps coming up after Pierre Poilievre’s Diary of a CEO interview is his personal story — adopted as a baby, raised by school teachers in a humble middle-class home, his father later came out as gay, and he married Anaida, who came to Canada as a refugee from Venezuela. Yet a lot of people seem to really dislike him… while praising Justin Trudeau (raised with every advantage as the son of a former Prime Minister) and Mark Carney (the wealthy former banker). How did so many in Canada end up feeling that way? What do you think drives that difference in how people see them? Drop your honest thoughts below 👇 I’m reading every comment. #Poilievre #CanadaFirst

Got it!

Fair enough. I felt it was a serious critique of the political starvation of funding for public health care:
@SusanGapka Thanks Susan. I’m all for satire but CBC making fun of patients with chest pain and dying when there have been high profile cases of real patients with chest pain and dying is tasteless.
Shame on you. On behalf of every real ER doctor and nurse who's struggled with overcrowding and long wait times, and on behalf of every Canadian and their family who's suffered the inadequacy of our ERs at times. I'm a huge CBC fan. You disgust me. @22_Minutes
The Province of Ontario had FOUR lawyers to cancel Al Quds Day. Shane Martinez @martinezdefence was the sole representative for the Al Quds Committee. The power imbalance is not lost on me. Shane Martinez is the Hercules of law.
