Pierre running in the safest riding in Canada screams weakness and cowardice.

The Premier is focused on celebrating a “big win” while thousands of people are losing their jobs and energy prices are plummeting.
We need a plan to protect workers and strengthen our industries, but Danielle Smith seems more interested in securing her next appearance on Fox News than in addressing Albertans' needs.

This is Pierre Poilievre handing donuts to a Convoy trucker in Ottawa. The same Convoy that gridlocked the city and forced innocent people from their homes because they couldn’t take the honking and fumes any longer. Poilievre really is a POS. It was his Convoy. Nobody else’s.

To show how insane this is Remembrance Day, to honour the thousands of Canadian soldiers who gave their lives for this country, isn't even a national stat holiday. (1/2) globalnews.ca/news/4388856/s…

Also, if we are going to make a stat to honour our indigenous peoples, why not make one to honour their contributions to this country instead? Why must we always look back at our history and focus on the negative?

It literally quotes one person from one side of the debate and completely ignores the obvious (and popularly held going by recent polls) opposition to moves like this.
How is that not biased journalism?

The CP account properly situates the original decision in the "unmarked graves" bedlam of 2021, and alludes to the pretext of Macdonald's association with the schools. These are the relevant facts.
I'm a scold and a scourge upon biased and crappy journalism. This isn't that.

This is just the latest example of good, common sense individuals capitulating to the lies and misinformation of a radical (but vocal) minority bent on the destruction of this country and the total annihilation of what it means to be Canadian.

Macdonald also didn't introduce the Indian Act.
Residential schools existed before and after Macdonald, they were voluntary and they were asked for by Indigenous leaders.
He wasn't perfect, but it was also 1880. You can see what the Americans did as a comparison.

Read the whole thing Penny.
Still waiting for the evidence that John A. Macdonald set up the residential school system to hold Indigenous children hostage, which is what is implied in your tweet.

WATCH: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces resignation plans at a news conference outside Rideau Cottage.
Trudeau said his instinct was to stay on, but the internal battles in his own party made that impossible.
