You realize the S. Korean President is a crook trying to cling to power, right? You know, like Trump did, with all the "stop the steal" lies and trying to get Pence to count his fake electors. I don't know the legality of Yoon's arrest warrant. But he refused a summons to appear re: his martial law declaration. Seems he declared martial law because his party lost the legislature in the March election so he can't get his agenda passed. He also had a low-20's approval rating in Nov before this whole thing began, which is lower than Trudeau's, and he and his wife are caught up in a bunch of scandals. He's an authoritarian and seems like he just cooked up some scare-tactic BS with the North Koreans to legitimate his power-grab. Since he and Trump like to subvert democracy to try to cling to power maybe they could be pen pals while they're both in jail.

For those of us who consume a variety of sources, we know that you only get half the story at best because your posts reveal your ignorance of the other half.

There was no collusion. The Mueller report spelled this out.

That's not true. He also consulted with all of the voices in his head and gave careful consideration to their opinions as well.

Finally some kindness in the public sphere. 💞

Absolutely a cult of personality fueled exclusively by the politcs of spite. The campaign platform and rhetoric is incoherent and schizophrenic. His voters have no idea how his promises connect to their actual problems, and they don't seem to care? Anti-inflation pro-tariff? Sure! Why not?!?

Pretty much none of that is true. He will replace the carbon tax with nothing which would be vastly superior. The Dad has nothing to do with covid and even the deficit spending during covid had very little to do with covid. Most of it was on program spending that had nothing to do with covid. The deficit will continue to shrink over time and be eliminated. Our rights, being the rights of people who are not in a special interest group will likely be reinforced so that we cannot be pressured to use language that we don't want or to celebrate things we don't want or to allow men who claim to be women to participate in sports or go to women's prisons. There is a reasonable amount of appetite right now to increase military spending and he won't have to wear it if the Americans force it upon us. There's no doubt Poilievre will have a lot of work to do and it's not going to be an easy road to hoe. But things will start to get noticeably better And chances are he'll have a minimum of eight years to make things happen before he's seriously challenged again.

MAGA's tend to be far more religious, have not been to college, come from rural areas, and are White men. Evangelical Christians are Cult-like, so the transition to the MAGA movement is not unexpected.

In the small-ish town where I grew up in the '80s there was like one South Asian family in town and they lived in an apartment block that became universally known as the "Paki Palace." I remember a column in a major city newspaper about a strike by cab drivers that used the same racial slur and said "it's not just the cabs that are yellow." Native, ch*nk and n***er jokes were everywhere including on the playground. It didn't matter that there were hardly any racialized people in our town; if anything, that made it easier for folks to be racist because they only had bigoted stereotypes to work with. This is of course the world that conservatives want us to return to.

People defer to Mr.Poilievre's false claim to be a Conservative. I have yet to hear him utter a single thing that expresses core Conserative values.

Nick Sandman - $250 million from CNN for defamation. Same with WAPO and quite a number of other Libbie rags. In fact, CNN has been sued countless times for defamation. Then there's the ratings. CNN and MSNBC, plus ABC, have seen their viewership plummet. Why? Because they've been caught lying so many times that nobody but the dullest continue to trust them. They started a culture war... And they have lost. And so have you.

I'll go with the Associated Press over rightwing twitter conspiracies.

yea its been rumoured all day long. wasn't gonna vote for him in 2025 but he was not as bad a prime minister as is currently being portrayed in 30-40 years he will be looked back at in a better light. thanks for the first good 4 years justin (besides breaking the election reform promise ) and thanks for guiding country thru the pandemic . 2022-2024 is really where it went off the rails abit but it is what it is.

I keep feeling I am in loony land. Brazil and South Korea's leaders both attempt an insurrection, and it fails. The people stand up, and both leaders will be charged, and are likely facing jail time. The USA, the supposed leader in the Democratic World, let's Trump attempt a insurrection, and it fails. He is not only not punished, but he is rewarded by being allowed to run (and win) a second term.

Tell us again what your 'variety of sources' are?

Your response is equally broad. Positive results? Our mortality outcomes were exceptionally good compared to places like the USA, but they didn't come without cost. Do we pretend the Emergency Act never happened? Do we ignore that Trudeau was torpedoing public finances long before COVID ever reared its head, and the economic difficulties we face now are exacerbated by his poor judgment and stewardship? His will be a legacy of failure, cynicism and poor judgement.

People that have been compromised by Russia exist on social media, and even on this forum. I know of at least one member who is pushing pro-Kremlin narrative.

McCabe’s decision was approved by FBI Assistant Director Bill Priestap, who had also signed off on the opening of Crossfire Hurricane; and Jim Baker, the FBI general counsel. Baker was a longtime friend of Michael Sussmann, a lawyer for the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, So, when Sussman brought the bogus dossier to the FBI and "failed to disclose that he was acting as Hillary's counsel, and that the intel came from her", Baker was already aware of that anyways. That actually jives with the reason Sussman wasn't convicted, the FBI said that they were already aware of his relationship with Hillary. and a key figure in the dissemination of Clinton-funded disinformation to the FBI that falsely tied Trump to Russia. Nice. In his FBI role, Baker personally circulated the conspiracy theory, manufactured by “researchers” working with the Clinton campaign, that the Trump campaign and Russia were communicating via a secret server. AKA, Baker leaked to the media for his friend, Michael Sussman, to help Hillary. After leaving the FBI, Baker served as deputy general counsel at Twitter, The perfect place for such a snake in the grass. where he backed the company’s censorship of reporting on the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, Of course he did, but he didn't have any say in that. Twitter was part of TNI, and all the members of TNI were together on all the Russian collusion and Covid-1938 disinformation campaigns. based on yet another conspiracy theory that the laptop files were Russian disinformation. You spelled "Russian disinformation" wrong. It's: "Russian disinformation".

None of what you've said here is based on anything but your own biased opinion.

just don't start crying when the far right comes to ban you, Communist traitor ; turn around is fair play

I wish the woketards would pack their shit and leave the country like many of them promised.

Disinformation is the biggest overarching issue facing us as a civilization. It should be at the top of the list of issues of an election campaign. We can't possibly solve the real issues we need to deal with when there is so much lack of clear headed thinking. At least the people of Babel tried to cooperate.

Trump and Poilievre are already relevant. But you're correct that people are already turning against the woke and realize what a terrible idea it was to begin with. That was one of the things that made trump and Poilievre relevant

the actual maga base is a cult bottom line.

So? On January 20 I will be telling you that Trump has more power than the hair sniffer. In fact I'll be rubbing that fact in your cyber face. Trump has already been meeting with world leaders so really, you could say that Trump's presidency has already begun.

Trudeau resigns. Sad day as he did great during his 4 year first term. His father did plenty of good for Canada as well. I remember the night he was walking in a snowy night and decided to resign too. I go with Carney. Joly is much prettier but Carney can do better for Liberal party and hopefully prevent a majority conservative government in the summer election as a Liberal budget will be defeated in April and country heads to an election in June.

That doesn't change the fact that Trump beat your candidate in the Electoral AND the POPULAR. Suck it, comrade!

That is a pretty broad statement without foundation. The team he assembled to fight the worst crisis Canada has faced since 1945 had extraordinary positive results. The economic difficulties we faced as a result, pale in comparison to the mitigation of the potential death toll had the governments not responded as they did.

Sure whoever can be objectively shown to have committed treason should be tried and sent to the gallows. Hair splitting over planning to conspire vs actually conspiring is f*cking st*pid. And sure there is grey area. I'm not talking about people doing business, or engaging in activism, or ideas/ideologies. I'm talking about political schemes involving foreign influence.

He’s completely ruined the country. He needs to resign and lead a life in obscurity.

robomarx thinks he's a centrist. LOL!!

watching you and a couple of the other lefties here stumble over the very basics of us politics Fills us with an incredible sense of superiority. Even somebody who only knows a little feels like they know a hell of a lot when they compare themselves to you Also, your use of caps locks is an obvious sign that you know nothing so we just basically take anything you say and reverse it, and that turns out to be correct 93 percent of the time

There was a time when common sense was a thing, and people in positions of authority could exercise it without having to deal with millions of dollars in litigation over it. Kayla Lemieux should have been shown the door the first day he showed up to school like that. When more time is spent agonizing over his rights to gender expression than the farce he made out of his classroom and that school, something is wrong. This is a really good example of what rallies the Trumpers etc. They aren't afraid to lay into it, and that takes at least some courage.

yoon is a crazy lunatic even his own party didn't support martial law he made a play to become the first dictator in south korea since the 1980s and it failed he deserves whatever faith he gets at this point

Setting his completely dishonest characterization aside for a moment, the whole premise he's putting forward is insane. When has the left ever said "That's enough, we never need you to share more"? No matter how much you give they will insist that more is needed. No matter how much they take from you to give to someone else they will return tomorrow to demand more. When has it ever been different? When has the left ever in history ever said "we've taken enough from you, they'll have to make do on their own and they don't deserve anything else from you' ? The reality is the left is going to come and try and take everything in your bowl whether you share it or not. And that's not irrational, that is demonstrable history and experience. So the question becomes if they're going to do that anyway why give up anything in the first place? No matter how much you give they will still not be able to make it work and will need more

This is what your ear doctor sees when he examines you I take it I get it. You're frustrated because you can't address your own hypocrisy. Understandable.

Share? When you use the force of government to take, that is not sharing.

Um, its the leftists whose entire political philosophy is grounded in screwing other people to take from them to distribute to those you deem deserving.

Apparently the Chinese are planning to take over and join North and South Korea. China is taking over. Whether it be basically doing all major infrastructure projects in Africa indebting them to the Chinese government or buying up a ton of farm land in North America. Meanwhile, as Donnie says Biden is asleep and Kamala is doing a dance party with Beyoncé. Jan 20th can't come soon enough

I've also noticed that the posters that represent Team Canada, usually provide accurate information, unlike Team MAGA, who use unreliable information, and post on emotion, and not substance. My assumption is that Canadians are more educated than the MAGA loons.

Dear diary...

This is all likely accurate, but I think the thing that will really sink them is the fact that even when it's overturned they're still going to constantly refer to him as a convicted criminal because they simply don't care about the truth. If they can go 8 years of claiming Russian collusion Despite a massive investigation finding no such thing then I guarantee you they're still going to go on about how he was a convicted felon while he was president As you say the American people see through these cheap theatrics and they're sick of it. They want leaders who are dealing with the issues and who are making their lives better not petty theatrics and weaponizing the courts to go after your political opponents.

woo woo yes mark carney please come on down and help this country great choice for leader finally a guy who knows how to run things and not someone with no experience in a real job like PP.

happy new year to the sane people on that list

This has nothing to do with Trudeau. People don't abandon their country over bad leadership.
