Glad media is pointing this out, but many of us have been listening to Poilievre for a very long time and we can say that Poilievre has ALWAYS acted this way: nasty ad hominem attacks, falsehoods, injustifiable remarks, it's just now so tinged with bitterness...but did no one ever see his tweets??!
OMG. Ford claims (whines) that he's the most scrutinized person in the country. That's a load of malarkey. He SHOULD be the most scrutinized. He isn't scrutinized enough!
He's just pissed that he can't get away with everything, but he already gets away with plenty.

Author @gilduran.com was just banned from “free speech absolutist” twitter for criticizing the Palantir CEO’s manifesto— so here’s his upcoming book: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

The PM is pulling in the civic direction and that's exactly where the offenders(and their caucus mates) need to head or get the hell out. The rules are the rules - Poilievre,Smith, Ford and Moe aren't above them and we don't deserve their chaos!
He's abusing his power. He should resign
DOUG FORD IS HIDING THINGS
Let your MPP know it’s unacceptable to defy the courts and make up laws to prevent transparency and accountability to the Ontario taxpayer.
APRIL 25 PROVINCE WIDE PROTESTS
(UPDATED video with all local posters)
This is precisely what is happening. Cumulative losses of public say, public power...the things that constitute a democracy.
👇👇👇pay attention, and look at their track record, what the Ford government has done.

🚨🇨🇦 Where do we go from here, how do we both protect democracy but also strengthen and improve it?
Such an inspiring interview on possible next steps.
Looking forward to even more discussions like this.
The crucial part will be how do we get government to open dialogue in regard to these issues.
Good. Public backlash. Did you hear that? It works.
Now, can we get him to resign?
And preferably "as quickly as possible"? 😂

Screenshot of an article from The Globe and Mail. The headline reads: Canadians likely to save 10 cents per litre as federal tax break on gas and diesel takes effect.
We just cut the federal fuel excise tax to save you money at the pump.
Starting today, you’ll save up to 10 cents per litre on regular gasoline and 4 cents on diesel.
PM Carney - "There are some who say there's no need for a comprehensive plan. They believe we should wait it out in the hope that the United States will return to normal. That the good old days will come back. But hope isn't a plan and nostalgia is not a strategy." #cdnpoli

I didn't make it out with my camera today, so I drew you a bird: White-crowned sparrow.
Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli
Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.
He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.
It may not be Library Week in Canada, but I'd like to wish Happy #NationalLibraryWeek to my American friends who are book lovers and library fans!
😂😂😂
Okay, the lesson here is be vocal and don't let him just get away with stuff like this! The backlash was swift and certain! Ford needs to know that he can't just run wild with our money.

The Ford government is overriding municipal decisions and concentrating power at the top, at the expense of local accountability.

That's exactly what I was thinking! 😂
Watch the hand gestures.
He just craves attention and adulation.
Also, Ece Temelkuran's How to Lose a Country. It's about Turkey, but the authoritarian's playbook is the same.
It's critical that enough people recognize what is happening before it's too late. As one expert in fascism pointed out, it's easier to prevent an authoritarian state than remove one.
👇no matter where you live! No country is immune. Read!
Researching extremism in the interwar period, I've found that a lot of the warnings about "fascism coming to America" weren't prophetic, but describing the mainstream second Klan movement of the 1920s and many of the fascist movements here in the 1930s.

On tyranny Aristotle and Plato’s words
I’m reading On Tyranny this morning. The connection is clear. Aristotle and Plato weren’t predicting the future. They were describing what they’d already watched happen.
Ancient philosophy came out of real situations people had to navigate. We’re witnessing it today. #Stoicism #StoicSisterhood
“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”
Born with a silver spoon in his mouth.Hates the poor/disabled. Accumulated a fortune since being Premier.Lies.Eats like a pig.Dumber than a stump. Ruining our education system. Treats nurses like shit.Wants to privatize healthcare.Sticks his nose in municipal & federal affairs. Contracts to buddies.
Accurate summary! Add: hates nature; doesn't understand how dependent we are on a healthy environment. Sneakily takes away our right to comment through legislative changes. Been bought by rich developers. His motto? Let 'em drink beer! (Just not from The Beer Store.)
And, yes: dumber than a stump.
