@karinagould is fantastic

"But this is unsurprising, Mr. Speaker, because it's from the same party whose leader was delivering doughnuts to people out here who were protesting and yet this morning had protesters removed by police from his home, Mr. Speaker. The guy who cares about freedom of speech certainly doesn't like it when people oppose his views." -

If anyone is wondering why PP wants an election before the end of the year - that's when the unredacted National Security and Intelligence Committee of
Parliamentarians
Special Report on Foreign Interference in
Canada’s Democratic Processes and Institutions will be released and he has reason to worry

The Russians had money. The Canadian had far-right influencers. The U.S. Department of Justice says it has a criminal case

It's very scary that this absolute nutcase actually stands a good chance of being the next premier.

BC Conservative leader John Rustad assured anti-vaccine activists British Columbia would be open to joining other jurisdictions in legal proceedings inspired by the Nuremberg Trials that would be aimed at prosecuting those deemed responsible for COVID-19 public health measures and vaccines.

Former PC prime minister Brian (brown paper bag - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Mulroney) Mulroney on the need for a Universal Basic Income. It somewhat surprised me but must remember that the PCs were intended to be socially progressive and fiscally conservative.

Mulroney was from the old Progressive Conservatives, before the PCs got stabbed in the back by one of their own and sold to the Reform and Wild Rose parties and became the looney toons Conservative Party of Canada.

We badly need this here in Canada

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jul/02/welsh-government-commits-to-making-lying-in-politics

The Labour-led Welsh government has committed to introduce “globally pioneering” legislation that would in effect make lying in politics there illegal.

Members of the Senedd described it as a historic moment that would combat the “existential threat” that lying in politics poses to democracy.

Bonnie has a good point there. Read her site to see who she recommends and why

As we anxiously await Kamala's decision about her VP pick, I fear that a bad choice may be in the offing based on one crucial issue: Palestine. That wrong VP pick, one who has been critical of college students protests supporting Palestine, condemning genocide, and calling for divestiture from Israel, may set back the campaign with a key voting bloc.

Here's the back story. Poilievre and the CPC are afraid of LGBTQ+ supporters.

Zaifman-Guslits made the case to Jewish London Executive Director Rob Nagus that she was not part of the protest. He agreed to allow her in, but she says that's when one of Poilievre's staff members intervened.

Zaifman-Guslits said the party official told her, “Because of what you are wearing, you cannot come in."
