Can we get a superclip of EVERY Poilievre lie, and then play it over and over.
People in Canada need to know how much of a liar this man is.

BREAKING: The villages in Florida, typically dominated by MAGA extremists, have been completely taken over by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign. This is a remarkable turnaround. Retweet so all Americans see this campaign’s energy and enthusiasm.

A sixth grade teacher asks her class how many were Trump supporters.
Despite them not knowing what a Trump supporter was but wanting to be liked by the teacher, they all raised their hands.
Well, all except for little Timmy.
The teacher looks over to little Timmy and asks, “Timmy, why are you being different again?”
He says, “well, because I’m not a Trump supporter.”
“Why aren’t you a Trump supporter?”
“Because I’m a Democrat.”
The teacher snuffs and says, “oh really? Why are you a Democrat?”
He responds, “well, my mom is a Democrat, my dad is a Democrat, so I’m a Democrat.”
She then says, “Oh really? Then what if your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?”
Little Timmy smiles and says, “a Trump supporter.”

Yesterday, 7 April, I watched on @ctvqp with @VassyKapelos one of the most disingenuous, misleading interviews I have ever watched on an, ostensibly, reputable news program.
Kapelos interviewed Bill Morneau and Jean Charest about an open letter they signed appealing to political leaders "to address urgently the rise of incivility, public aggression and overt hatred that are undermining the peace and security of Canadian life."
The were, perhaps deliberating, misleading Canadians. Not once in the interview and nowhere in the letter is it mentioned that the "incivility, public aggression and overt hatred" infecting public life is entirely a disease caused, deliberately, by the Right.
To not mention the cause and perpetrators of the overt hatred is not just a dereliction of ethics, it is serving the interests of the hate mongers.
You can't fight a social cancer, like Right Wing hate, if you refuse to recognize what's causing it.
Shame all 'round.

In 1964, a bunch of high school students played hooky to catch a Beatles concert.
Although they failed to gain entry to the show, they had an unexpected encounter with Ringo Starr while they were in their car.
Ringo pulled up next to them and took their photograph. However, nobody believed their story when they shared this remarkable encounter with their friends.
Fifty years later, the truth was unveiled when Ringo published a book filled with his personal photographs. Their image was featured in it. In homage to this incredible memory, they recreated the shot.

The largest intact Roman mosaic floor discovered in Turkey, dating back to the sixth century, is a remarkable find. The mosaic, found in Antakya, covers an impressive 1200 square meters and features unique geometric shapes and non-repeating figures, likely designed for a public space.
The mosaic has a rippling effect caused by earthquakes in 526 and 528 AD, but it does not create the impression of a giant blanket. Despite the earthquakes, the mosaic remains intact and unbroken, a testament to its resilience and the skill of its creators.

”The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dove into the sea of Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back.
He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something. The animal dove and Enzo followed.
At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives.
Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, issued an "almost human cry" (describes Enzo). (A dolphin can stay under water for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.)
The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant!
The male circled them, and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off.
Enzo Maiorca ended his speech by saying: “Until man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth.”
