@WillKneelander @brianlilley @JustinTrudeau Attention spans last about 15 minutes in the rage age. What will make ‘em angry tomorrow is the only reporting done.

@CommunityNotes this program is utter garbage. It’s just basically another chat section. Most of the notes are more misleading than the comments they are on, or they are on clear jokes or opinion, and I would rather not rate or make them anymore. How do I opt out?

@MelissaLMRogers None of that is true at all. Also, it’s 54% of income taxed…. Over 235000.

Whenever I explain to people that don’t live in Canada, what’s actually happening in Canada 🇨🇦 they’re literally shocked 😮 -Online censorship -Banned from viewing news sources -Patients dying in hospital hallways waiting for care -Giving 50% of your $$ to the government via taxes -Being labelled racist by our own PM -TRUDEAU government laundering MILLIONS to ghost contractors -Carbon TAX #Canada

@LeslynLewis So first, the irony of that comment is amazingly un-self aware, like hilariously so. Second, you act like your entire caucus was there like this liberals, ndp and bloc, which the cpc weren’t.

While Conservatives are working day and night to fight for Canadians, including an end to the carbon tax, members from other parties won't even let us speak without resorting to name-calling. It’s such a sad decline of decorum in the House of Commons.

@BlaineFCalkins Not a single one of these votes were “non confidence”. They were voting on meaningless amendments for pageantry and theatrics. Wasting their time and our money.

Conservatives have voted more than 100 times non-confidence in the NDP-Liberal Coalition, all aimed at halting their detrimental policies for 🇨🇦. Our #AxetheTax marathon brought government business to a standstill, effectively blocking Trudeau's agenda. The voting has now ended but our battle against the carbon tax resumes with full force come Monday morning. The fight continues!

@PierrePoilievre They’re really not. They are literally making fun of you.

NDP & Liberal MPs are crying crocodile tears because the carbon tax filibuster cost them 1 night’s sleep. Now they know what it’s like for the many who suffer sleepless nights because they can’t afford food and rent after 8 years of Trudeau.

@acoyne That’s a leap from the comment he made. Being part of the inquiry, the very fulcrum of its existence doesn’t inspire confidence in the globe and mails impartiality.

There are places in this world where the government investigates the newspapers (for investigating the government) but Canada isn't one of them.

The same day they voted against a food program for struggling children, Pierre choreographs his minions to cheer on a fast food feast that tax payers paid for. Taking food from children so he can have a free Big Mac. Oh so Conservative!

When people show you who they are, believe them.

@journo_dale I see you changed it from a framework to report. This is even less true and more stupid. Ffs, they voted against school lunches for kids. A private members bill can become legislation dipshit.

A reminder that the Conservatives didn’t vote against a school food program, they voted against a bill that would make the government write a report. #QP

@PierrePoilievre You did 3 minutes of this childish garbage?

1am fast-food update from House of Commons lobby forcing all-night voting to axe the tax for farmers, First Nations and families.

@alanfryermedia That’s a really shit take from that article.

I worked at CTV for 25 years and they were the best years of my life. We were all hungry to break stories and hold government - regardless of party - to account. Now CTV, like the other two major broadcasters, just seems hungry for Liberal government handouts. Very sad.

@journo_dale So what you’re saying is, the conservatives voted no for a framework between the provinces and federal gov to fund school lunches for kids. Sounds to me more like your nitpicking in the most unbelievably redundant and reductive fashion.

I know everyone is busy dunking, but this bill would not have created a school food program. It’s a private member’s bill (so it can’t spend money) that is looking to make an empty framework that would rely on provinces to sign on (because this is their jurisdiction).

@HitenPatel13 So if one is looking at the ball, one can kick another in the balls without a fouls call, slap the ball into the net with my hands, headbutt the keeper… etc

On Sky Sports News, former professional referee Dermot Gallagher has just said "Osho looks at the ball the whole time, it's just a tussle. We look at how easily defenders go down and Gabriel is leaning towards him. No penalty." What utter nonsense 😂

Poilievre rose in the HoC yesterday to say, quote, “kids were sending letters to Santa not to ask for presents but to ask for food”. To berate Trudeau. Shortly after his comment he voted against a National Food Program for kids put forth by the Liberals. #WatchWhatPoilievreDoes

@CBCNews lol, yeah. “That regulatory legislation you’re doing to curb us hiking prices and balancing our consistent quarterly record breaking profits throughout departments will make us raise prices” is just pricelessly stupid.

The head of Canada's biggest grocery chain says the looming implementation of the grocery code of conduct would lead to higher prices for consumers, not lower ones. cbc.ca/news/business/… .

@CCogitationis @nationalpost ***”wasn’t asking sarcastically I mean.

@CCogitationis @nationalpost I wasn’t asking about the cons voting down a cpp expansion, it was genuine. I’m pretty (but maybe not) sure there was 1 last year or the year before they voted against. I can’t find any info about it because of the Alberta cpp thing dominating the 1st 4 pages of a google search.

@CCogitationis @nationalpost Yes, that’s how all group funds work, capitalism in general. When growth stops, funds and economies collapse. There’s not a company in the world that sits there and says “we are fine with our current revenue levels”, that goes the same for countries and group benefit funds.

@billjohnstone16 @nationalpost The current model doesn't give enough to seniors and relays on each generation being a larger work force then the previous one. Not sure on increase proposed and details in it. When was the vote and bill #?

@CCogitationis @nationalpost Long story short, I am pretty sure I read something about it, but may be wrong and remembering something else.

@IsabelOakeshott Yeah, totally okay to lose my dad. Piece of shit.

Covid inquiry reveals Boris asked: "Why are we destroying everything for people who will die anyway?" Doubtless everyone will go nuts, but it was a reasonable question, if bluntly put. Majority of people who died of covid were in their eighties.
