They changed the headline on this article. It originally read, “Polievre launches campaign with a pitch to heal, ‘a divided country’” which made me laugh because he’s spent so much time whipping up the white grievance that carried Trump to power in the US and trying desperately to ride the same wave of populist bullshit with the same message as Trump. When he’s railing about the, “woke” and “political correctness” that suggests that we can expect an all out assault of LGBTQ+ rights, brown people, books, and anything else they don’t like.

    I guess they think “respectful and firm” is their best shot at taking a stand without alienating their base.

    I don’t think it’s going to play.

      Their opinion section is fetid shithole of right wing propaganda. Their news room accurately reported on what Poilievre said. We need to pay attention to the right wing media is saying because that’s the teat that the aggrieved white are suckling at.

    Really need to get billboards up and out in Alberta to let the bulk of their citizens know the media they’re reading with a Pro US agenda are American owned and do not have the interests of Canadians at heart.

      They don’t care. They voted in that traitorous curr who is currently doing her best to sell out Canada. This is what they want.

        Doesn’t matter. As a united Canadiana, we need to try and get it through their head that we are 1 country united.

        I think a lot of voters would reconsider if they actually understood their freedom was as stake from being bombarded by American based media conglomerates
