Before you believe that the CPC supports our troops.
FYI, it was the "Honourable" Stephen Harper (Pierre's mentor) THAT REDUCED DEFENCE SPENDING TO THE LOWEST LEVEL IN CANADIAN HISTORY.
Spoiler, Pierre Poilievre fully supported all these cuts.

Donald Trump left office with the lowest approval rating of any president ever. But some people now seem to be suffering from amnesia.

Words matter. If you call someone a communist, you should at least know what it means.

Even as we celebrate #WomensEqualityDay, our basic dignities are under assault from extreme Republicans who repealed Roe, repress the vote, reject fair pay, and plan to further restrict our rights.
But women are organizing for our freedoms — we are NOT going back! -NP

Toronto can’t afford Olivia Chow.
She is out of touch with the needs of Toronto residents today and will make life more expensive.
I have a plan to grow our economy, to support vulnerable residents, and to address the housing and affordability crisis.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: AOC DESTROYS Kevin McCarthy for the holding the national debt hostage and for suggesting Washington needs to “spend less.”
“Ok, then undo the yacht and private jet tax breaks the GOP passed for themselves,” AOC retorted.
“Why should single moms and veterans have to pay for the GOP’s giveaways to the rich?
Especially when you don’t even have the votes of your own caucus?” She added.
Let’s get this straight:
The Republicans want nothing more than to pretend that the debt ceiling needs to be lifted to accommodate next year's budget. They frame it that way relentlessly, and sad to say, lazy journalists buy into their framing. The debt ceiling needs to be raised to pay for all the spending the Republicans authorized in 2017 when they gave away a substantial chunk of the Treasury to their rich pals.
So now the time comes that we need to pay the country's bills incurred in the last several years and now coming due. But we're a little short on cash since we gave rich people more money, so now it's time for disabled and retired citizens to pungle up, and single mothers living close to the bone have to forego SNAP benefits. Because Kevin McCarthy couldn't possibly ask
mega billionaires to pay more.
The middle class should no longer carry the majority of the tax burden and the tax breaks for the rich. Let them pay their fair share for a change.

1. Toronto banned the St. Patrick’s Day Parade for more than a century.
Why? Religious hatred & sectarian violence.
Here’s my annual thread about the bloody riots that rocked our city in the days when Toronto was known as "The Belfast of Canada."

Billions have been spent to widen urban highways to ease traffic jams. Here’s why it never works.

The world saw Grozny and shrugged. The world saw Aleppo and shrugged. And now this is at Europe's gate. To quote the old anti-fascist slogan: If you tolerate this, your children will be next.

In a nation where the car is the sole transportation choice for most people and where transportation agencies are set up to build highways, is it surprising that all our traffic solutions look like roads? The only winning play is not to create new demand nytimes.com/2023/01/06/us/wi…
