@davechatterton1 @KatKanada_TM I'm sure the next time 4 MPs from the Liberals cross the floor within 6 months, he'll be asked the same question. BTW, the US owns the majority of Canadian media.

@KatKanada_TM The trash Canadian media would never ask Mark Carney such a blunt question. Instead they ask him softball questions. They are bought and paid for by the Liberals.

CTV REPORTER: How many of your MPs do you have to lose to the Libs before reflecting on your political future as leader. POILIEVRE: My leadership does not come from dirty backroom deals. It comes from the people of Canada. Record-breaking 8.3 MILLION people voted Conservative & 87% backed Poilievre's leadership less than 90 days ago.

@CatholicVote Did Pope Leo cancel his trip to the US in July or didn't he?

U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Brian Burch reveals that Cardinal Christophe Pierre confirmed the Pentagon did not threaten the Vatican: "I was pleased to speak today with His Eminence, Cardinal Christophe Pierre.  As expected, he confirmed that recent media characterizations of his meeting with Undersecretary Colby are 'fabrications' that were 'just invented.' Given the intelligence and seriousness of Mr. Colby, I was likewise not suprised when His Eminence acknowledged there were no threats of any kind in the meeting.  'It was a frank and cordial meeting that took place two months ago.' Threat of Avignon? 'None.'"

@JerK7777 @enfant_criminel @guyfelicella Good thing Carney likes him as PP's own MPs clearly don't. 🤣🤣

@trlaughlin @enfant_criminel @guyfelicella Axe the Tax; No GST on new homes; Income tax cuts - All in Poilievre’s platform for months before Carney ever showed up, but it’s understandable that those who ignore everything Pierre says would think these were Carney’s ideas, LOL

This might go down as the biggest political collapse in Canadian history. From a promised supermajority to his own party abandoning ship. He didn’t just lose the election, he lost his seat, and they still brought him back. 🤯 Let that sink in.

@wma927 @BrianBurchUSA So the Ambassador may want to revisit his story.

@trlaughlin @BrianBurchUSA yes, he did. He will be in Lampedusa on July 4th

I was pleased to speak today with His Eminence, Cardinal Christophe Pierre.  As expected, he confirmed that recent media characterizations of his meeting with Undersecretary Colby are “fabrications” that were “just invented.” Given the intelligence and seriousness of Mr. Colby, I was likewise not suprised when His Eminence acknowledged there were no threats of any kind in the meeting.  “It was a frank and cordial meeting that took place two months ago.”  Threat of Avignon? “None.”

@nenshi Elon Musk is now a punchline who no one takes seriously other than MAGA or maple-MAGA. A non factor.

I’m ready to fight like hell for this country, and against anyone trying to tear it apart. The richest man in the world wants Canada to become the 51st state and is now amplifying Alberta separatism. So let’s ask the question: Who is funding this movement? Albertans deserve to know.

@kylegriffin1 You mean the one signed Love Melania where she asks her to give Melania a call when she is back in town? That sounds casual. 🙄

Melania Trump just confirmed that she exchanged email with Ghislaine Maxwell at least once. 'My email reply to Maxwell cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence. My polite reply to her email doesn't amount to anything more than a tribal note.'

@ForMYCanada Also democracy in action: 152,000 members voted in Liberal Leadership Convention last year (40% turnout). This year at Con Leadership Convention: 2,558 which was considered to be a 95% turnout. Which is practicing democracy? No wonder the Cons are stuck with the leader they have.

🇨🇦 Seeing a lot of dramatic claims today about Canada “losing democracy.” Let’s slow down and look at how our system actually works 👇 🗳️ Canadians vote for Members of Parliament in their ridings, not directly for a Prime Minister. 🏛️ The Prime Minister is simply the leader who can command the confidence of the House of Commons. 🔄 If MPs choose to sit with another caucus, it can change the balance of power in Parliament. That’s not a coup. That’s how the Westminster parliamentary system has functioned since Confederation. Do people like floor crossing? Many don’t. And that’s a fair political debate. But it has happened under governments of every political stripe. ⚠️ Claiming it’s “the end of democracy,” or threatening another convoy if Parliament shifts, isn’t defending democracy. It’s misunderstanding it. Debate the politics. Hold MPs accountable. But don’t pretend the rules of our system suddenly changed. #Canada 🇨🇦 #CanadianPolitics #Parliament #Democracy

@Harry__Faulkner Also PP...whoops!

Pierre Poilievre comments on the floor crossing of Marilyn Gladu: "I feel badly for Ms. Gladu's constituents, the strong majority of whom voted for our Conservative vision of an affordable and safe Canada." "I believe that constituents in her riding and every riding should be able to petition for a by-election whenever a member of parliament changes parties."

@zwitterati101 @jonfavs @grok

@rossfreed @99Akz @BriannaWu Let's have an investigation into what happened then. Oh right...Bibi won't allow one.

@99Akz @BriannaWu Why do you want to erase what happened on October 7th?

Hezbollah has fired over 10,000 missiles at Israeli civilians since October 7th. That was “indiscriminate.” Israel taking out the terrorists trying to kill them is not. There is no one that can look at this situation seriously and not see the laughable double standards.

@GeriGomola @DrJacobsRad In other words...okay for me but not for thee.

@trlaughlin @DrJacobsRad And Harper could foresee the future??

Canada is in a quiet democratic crisis. With 5 MPs crossing the floor to join the Liberals, the will of Canadian voters is being undermined by Carney's desire for a majority and the perfidious nature of those enabling him. For our democracy to work, Canadians must be able to trust it. Floor crossing undermines that trust. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

The Israeli Defense Forces have issued an evacuation order for Beirut’s Jnah area, which includes two major referral hospitals; the Rafik Hariri University Hospital and Al Zahraa Hospital. At this time, no alternative medical facilities are available to receive approximately 450 patients from the two hospitals (including 40 patients in the ICU), rendering their evacuation operationally unfeasible. Both facilities are operating at full capacity, including treating the injured from the strikes of 8 April. This zone also encompasses the @mophleb complex, and hosts five shelters accommodating more than 5000 people. I urge Israel to reverse this order and ensure the protection of all health facilities, health workers, patients and civilians.

@BarakRavid So Bibi-speak for the US is about to pull their support.

🚨🚨 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: In light of Lebanon’s repeated requests to open direct negotiations with Israel, I instructed yesterday to begin direct negotiations with Lebanon as soon as possible. The negotiations will focus on disarming Hezbollah and establishing peaceful relations between Israel and Lebanon. Israel appreciates the Lebanese prime minister’s call today to demilitarize Beirut

@PrairieVeteran @Cherniak Let's go. The Cons would be wiped out at this point.

@Cherniak If liberals were so confident that their policies are working, why won't they let the Canadian public decide and hold a general election?

There’s lots of talk about what the Gladu floor crossing means. In my view, it means that even somebody like her who disagrees strongly with many Liberal policies recognizes that this government is good for Canada. As long as the Liberal Party is not changing its policies to accommodate her, there is no reason to question where we stand on the issues on which she disagrees. Any Canadian willing to support the Liberals despite holding some views that the Liberal Party opposes should be welcome as long as they do not try to change what we stand for or make statements that would sow division. #cdnpoli

@GayRepublicSwag As soon as it becomes a defensive war, give them a call. They'll be there like they were the last time the US was attacked after 9/11. In the meantime, try giving the Board of Peace a call. What are they up to these days, anyway?

I support the US removing military protection from any NATO country that refused to help us in our defensive war against Iran! What do you think?

Everyone else was doing it…

Ein israelischer Scharfschütze tötete heute die 9-jährige Ritaj Rehan im nördlichen Gaza, während einer Unterrichtsstunde in einem provisorischen Klassenzelt, das auf den Ruinen ihrer ehemaligen Schule errichtet wurde. In einer erschütternden Szene trug ihr Vater Abdelraouf, noch immer unter Schock, den kleinen Körper seiner Tochter, ihre Schuhe in der Hand haltend, unfähig, den Verlust zu begreifen. Über 22.000 palästinensische Kinder wurden im Gazastreifen getötet. Der Völkermord setzt sich aus einem einzigen Grund fort: dem internationalen Versagen, ihn zu stoppen.

@mcfargey @RealAlbanianPat PP is an absolute fucking gift who keeps on giving! Why would the Liberals ever want to see him removed?? I guess we can all agree he really should stay on.

@RealAlbanianPat Wow. Who’s removing him?? I’m always amazed at how quickly people fall into the liberals trap. Who do you think is orchestrating this? The liberals want to eliminate Poilievre at any cost. Posts like this are exactly what they want. Help them sow their seeds of dissent.

If Pierre Poilievre is removed the Conservative Party will collapse breakup within a month and we are going back to the 90s

@RealAlbanianPat You really should keep him then.
