A virus cannot mutate if it cannot incubate. We know how to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, but we conflate and complicate perceived rights and freedoms w/ public health mandates and related precautions. No one has the right to infect others. No one has the freedom to be infected by

somecanuckchick dot com: “Take Canada Back” ?!?!?
“Take Canada Back” to when/what/where, etc., exactly?!? ICYMI Erin O’Toole is the newly-minted leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. Erin O’Toole ran on a leadership campaign platform that courted nationalists and populists, AKA hate/fear-mongering, racist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, etc. pieces of garbage. Erin O’Toole’s leadership campaign slogan? “Take Canada Back”.

The Government of Canada, in an effort to protect Canadians against the spread of Coronavirus conpiracy theories, assorted COVID-19 misinformation, and outright lies, is being accused by Andrew Scheer, CPC HQ, CPC MPs, as well as CPC supporters and like-minded punditry of restricting Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression.

The CPC and the NDP are failing Canadians. The CPC and the NDP need to stop playing politics. At the time of this post, COVID-19 aid being held hostage by the CPC and the NDP! The CPC leader, Andrew Scheer, is a despicable excuse for a human being… content to

OK… LPC 157 : CPC 121 : BQ 32 : NDP 24 : GPC 3 : IND 1 : PPC 0 A Liberal minority government it is, eh Canada. A Liberal minority government is NOT the worst thing ever. In fact, w/ the seat count, either the NDP, or the

Most people do not remember Stephen Harper’s 2006 and 2008 minority governments… Jack Layton and the NDP propped up Stephen Harper’s 2006 minority government for 2 years and Stephen Harper’s 2008 minority government for 3 years… There were many opportunities to bring both minority governments down! Instead, the NDP propped

THE NDP NEVER DID EXPLAIN… WHAT IS WRONG W/ RANKED BALLOT?! In case you forgot, the House of Commons Special Committee on Electoral Reform, AKA ERRE, was an all-party Parliamentary committee convened and empowered to “conduct a study of viable alternate voting systems to replace the first-past-the-post system”, as well

THREAD ALERT! Anyone remember FIPA? The Canada-China trade agreement that Stephen Harper signed w/o ever tabling it in Parliament? #cdnpoli #elxn43 1/10 FIPA has given China UNPRECEDENTED ACCESS to Canada’s natural resources, specifically the #tarsands. PetroChina, for instance, bought a 60% interest in two undeveloped tarsands projects. #cdnpoli #elxn43 2/10

NO MORE DEAD BABIES ON A BEACH! Alan Kurdi’s death was a direct result of Stephen Harper’s immigration and foreign policy. REMEMBER: Andrew Scheer propped up the Harper government for a decade.

Months before Jody Wilson-Raybould sought to leverage Michael Wernick by calling into the switchboard and secretly making an audio recording of that phone call, she was making a concerted effort to withhold information from him… And while Canadians may never know why the former Minister of Justice—Attorney General blocked her

I’m pretty sure there’s nothing better than a Pierre Poilievre, periodically interrupted… By definition, a filibuster is a prolonged speech; however, the intent of a filibuster, as a political procedure, is to delay or entirely prevent a decision from being made on a particular proposal, or disrupting the legislative agenda,
