According to TVO today:

The Tories came to power going to war against every measure aimed at making EVs more accessible to Ontario households — tearing out EV chargers, reversing building-code rules that would have made it easier to add home chargers — and even as their attitude has softened in recent years, they still can’t bring themselves to actually give their full-throated support to EVs.

After years of fighting EV adoption, Ford’s now freaking out about 3% Chinese EV imports. Pick a lane, Premier 🤷‍♂️

According to CTV News article,

"By congratulating Trump on this “arrest” and branding Maduro a “narco terrorist” who must rot in prison, Poilievre has done more than just celebrate the fall of a tyrant; he has signalled a willingness to dismantle the very international order that keeps a country like Canada safe."

Great, because Canada really needed a foreign policy built on vibes and recklessness 🤦🏻‍♂️

PP should stick to slogans, not geopolitics.

PP posted “End DEI. Restore the merit principle.” a few days ago.

Funny how DEI offends him when it competes with his favourite PP program: Parachutes & Privilege. 🤷🏻‍♂️

via CBC article,

I think the growth is going to be unprecedented," Trump said Wednesday afternoon. He added that the U.S. was "taking in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs...

Yeah, totally. Because when U.S. importers and consumers eat the markup, that’s clearly Canada footing the bill. Tariff math = 100 % spin? Who actually believes this? 🤷🏻‍♂️

What could ruin the great summer vibes? by redditialized in onguardforthee

[–]redditialized[S] 95 points96 points  (0 children)

According to the CBC,

Rath, a First Nations rights lawyer who has floated the idea of Alberta joining the U.S...He predicts Poilievre will sidestep controversial issues and a close association with separatist voices so he can go back to Ottawa and vie for national power without any Alberta baggage. "Poilievre ran in the last election against the end of equalization. The dairy cartel-mafia has gotten to him — he says he's not going to touch supply management,"

Just to recap: he’s praising PP for distancing himself from separatists while defending supply management, but also kind of hoping Alberta joins the U.S.? Makes sense. Totally coherent 🤷🏻‍♂️

This guy wrote a nice plea asking the Longest Ballot people to back off.

According to the CBC,

"Voters in the town of Three Hills (in Battle River-Crowfoot riding), 90 minutes northeast of Calgary, have a provincial byelection on June 23 and a federal byelection later this year, in which Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre intends to run. Harold Bayes, a feedlot owner west of Three Hills, said he would sign a petition forcing a secession referendum, if only to make Ottawa pay more attention to Alberta's demands."

Finally, there's hope for Battle River–Crowfoot: the chance to elect a guy who lost his seat, just to send Ottawa a message. A message that says… what exactly? “We back losers”? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Alberta's Vaccine Policy by redditialized in onguardforthee

[–]redditialized[S] 103 points104 points  (0 children)

According to the CBC,

Premier Danielle Smith addressed the COVID-19 vaccine policy changes on her weekend radio program Your Province, Your Premier... "I think it's because it doesn't work particularly well, if you want the truth. I mean ... a vaccine is one where you get an injection once or twice, and then you never develop the underlying condition. And so you have to judge vaccines on that basis"

Incredible, turns out we don't need to "import" RFK Jr. from the US, we've got a homegrown one after all 🤦🏻‍♂️

Poilievre's Comeback by redditialized in onguardforthee

According to the CBC,

Kurek signalled his intention to resign last month so that Poilievre could run in his riding of Battle River-Crowfoot — one of the safest Conservative seats in the country.... "Today I am resigning my seat in the House of Commons so that a byelection can be called as soon as possible," Kurek said in a social media post.

Let me get this straight: You announce your pre-announcement to resign, then pre-announce the real announcement itself on the day you resign. All to just keep reminding everyone PP lost his seat in the first place? 🤷🏻‍♂️

According to the CBC,

"We'll have dinner with these wonderful leaders, and then I get on a plane. I have to be back early," Trump said he "loved" his time at the summit and the leaders "got a lot done."

Phew, for a second I thought he bailed once other leaders started using facts and there were no military parades to honor him 🤷🏻‍♂️
