“If you don’t believe what we believe we’ll cancel you”. Has everyone had enough yet? Badge of honour @BenMulroney - Thank you for your courage.
Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East@CJPME

CJPME and a coalition of Muslim, Palestinian, and Jewish organizations are announcing a collective boycott of all programming featuring @BenMulroney until he is removed from hosting @TheWestBlock, a flagship political affairs program on @globalnews. The boycott follows a pattern of Mulroney's genocide denial, promotion of Islamophobic conspiracy theories, and conflicts of interest, both on the The West Block and The Ben Mulroney Show, that compromise the integrity of public discourse in Canada. CJPME has demanded accountability from Global News for months over these violations of journalistic ethics, to no avail. CJPME argues that Mulroney currently holds roles that are incompatible with Global News’ journalistic standards. In addition to his hosting duties, he simultaneously serves as an “Ambassador” for B'nai Brith Canada, a pro-Israel lobby group, and works for Aurora Strategy Global, a PR firm that employs registered lobbyists. Furthermore, Mulroney has a history of partisan activity, including hosting events and fundraisers for the Conservative Party. These overlapping roles present clear conflicts of interest and create an insurmountable appearance of bias for the host of a flagship political affairs program. The coalition points to Mulroney’s recent mocking of the well-founded claim that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, dismissively comparing it to "flat earth theory.” His statement directly contradicts a 2025 United Nations report which concluded that Israel is committing genocide, among other authoritative sources. Additionally, Mulroney has been accused of amplifying Islamophobic misinformation, recently calling a false, racist conspiracy theory from an Islamophobic X account “insightful” during his talk show. Concerns over Mulroney’s journalistic ethics have intensified following his recent "government relations mission" to Israel alongside politicians, other journalists, and the President of Aurora Strategy. While other participants confirmed the trip was funded by the Israeli government, Global News has failed to respond to CJPME’s inquiries regarding whether Mulroney accepted gifts or payments. “Journalistic independence is a requirement for those who want to moderate our national political conversations,” said Jason Toney, Director of Media Advocacy for CJPME. “When a host compares the genocide in Gaza to ‘flat earth theory,’ works for a lobbying and PR firm, and serves as an Ambassador for a pro-Israel advocacy group, they forfeit any claim to credibility. We are calling for the accountability that Global News has so far failed to provide the public.” Press release: cjpme.org/pr_2026_02_13_… Full boycott statement: cjpmemap.ca/map_alert_2026…

Right now, I'd vote OneBC because I align with them more closely. But if Caroline Elliott wins the leadership and steers the Conservatives toward the same principled stances (no more moderate drift), why split the vote? I'd switch to them to maximize the chance of beating the NDP.

Everything you say about Caroline Elliott is actually true about Dallas Brodie. Caroline was a BC United loyalist, SOGI advocate, and only started trying to copy Brodie over the last few months to try and put on a winning persona. Don't get fooled by the campaign run by career mercenaries.

I’ve never met her or spoken to her. And she has no idea I’m making this video. This is the first time I’m doing this. But I honestly believe, that Caroline Elliot is the only person that can defeat the NDP. She has my full support to be the leader of the BC Conservative Party. I hope others see what I see: She’s clear in thought. Well spoken. A logical person. Stands for values that protect Canadians & holds our government accountable. Everyone should be supporting @NVanCaroline

@GadSaad I look forward to reading it and hope it's highly successful! Curious to know if you've talked to an accountant to set up a strategy to legally avoid having the Quebec and Canadian governments steal half your royalties?

@rupasubramanya Seems pretty obvious to me: either force an election that no one wants and maybe win a minority, or continue to let the Liberals accomplish nothing and watch your poll numbers go up for a spring election. Based on poll numbers, looks like the latter could pay off for them.

Great. Why didn't they take the government down when they had the opportunity during the budget vote. Why were two MPs hiding behind the curtain?Imagine what all this great polling could have done for them. But hang on, they had great polling before an election that they lost.🤡

@JasminLaine_ Look at the comments in the CTV post. Their followers hate the Conservatives, despite their platform being basic common sense. I’m willing to bet that if it wasn’t for the biased mainstream media, more than 50% of Canadians would have voted Conservative.

@JackKlompas @RobynUrback The number of seats they get are grandfathered in from being among the first provinces. PEI will always get at least four.

@RobynUrback Why do the Atlantic provinces get roughly the same number of MPs as Alberta, yet with half the population? That's called Canadian gerrymandering.

@liberal_party Why would anyone vote for the party that: - gave the murderer Omar Kadr $10M? - wasted billions on a pipeline that wasn't economically feasable? - paid $65M for a app that a highschool kid could have built over a weekend? - and many other boondoggles.

@profbenperrin @cvangeyn @nationalpost The article you quote specifically states that “…Canada’s Conservative Party has been talking about the need to ensure free speech on campus and requiring universities to have stronger policies in order to qualify for research funding.”

@profbenperrin @cvangeyn @nationalpost DEI is the bigger threat to free speech on campuses. It’s an postmodernist ideology that fuels censorship, like requiring diversity statements that lead to self-censorship. Universities should prioritize academic freedom. The conservatives are right to crack down on this.

I've reviewed the 3 major party platforms for their commitments to free speech and written about it for the @nationalpost. Beware Liberal, NDP attacks on free expression. Only the Conservatives see the right as central to Canadian identity: nationalpost.com/opinion/christ…

@PierrePoilievre Stop focussing entirely on Carney and focus on the liberals in general. Maybe point out the fact that these are the same clowns that got Canada into this mess and if Carney remains Prime Minister, he has no choice but to pick Trudeau’s moronic cabinet to be his cabinet as well.

Mark Carney stands for the same Liberal policies that caused the Lost Liberal Decade, which doubled food bank use to 2 million visits in a single month. Giving the Liberals a 4th term will only worsen food inflation. We need change: conservative.ca/cpc/if-carney-…

We can’t control President Trump, but we can control what we do – and what we build - here at home. We will build an All-In-Canada auto manufacturing network to create more higher-paying jobs for Canadian workers and secure our economy.

@RobynUrback Normally, I would agree, but not in this case. Countries throughout the world are backing away from gender affirming care, because the science doesn’t support it. And we need to know if our Prime Minister is willing to have an honest conversation about it.
