Andrew Scheer: Carney keeps recycling the same speech over and over while he drives up prices and taxes. Meanwhile, Pierre has a real plan to unlock our resources, strengthen our country, and bring inflation down. This is worth watching 👇 Quoting Pierre Poilievre: Prime Minister, enough speeches and theatre. It's time for results at home. Video of Poilievre embedded
My dude, your leader has been recycling the same speech for two-and-a-half years now, insisting he's going to double-down on trickle-down economics.
Also, inflation is within the target range. If you bring it down further, you're going to stall economic growth. FFS.

Chantal Hébert: I fail to see how someone who was rejected for PM called Andrew Scheer should be the regular points person [for the Conservative Party].
Bruce Anderson: It's the single worst choice that [Pierre Poilievre] makes every day is to have Andrew Scheer out there.
Mélanie Richer: "[Pierre Poilievre's] had a year to figure out what he's got to say since the last election and he hasn't come up with anything."
Greg MacEachern: "What if Pierre Poilievre is the interim leader and no one's told him?"

Reminder: Qatar gifted Trump a $400M jet. Taxpayers are now billed $1B to refurbish it. Normalized corruption isn't shocking anymore and that's the problem. Part 1 of my deep dive on Trump's moral decay is live on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JwU...
J. D. Vance has decided he’s a more accomplished theologian than Pope Leo XIV—and in doing so, Vance showcases what another pope once called “the queen of all vices”: the deadly sin of pride, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.
It appears someone tracked down who had the keys to the @ndp.ca Bluesky account, which is suddenly active again after 11 months of radio silence:
And now Rick Bell is just flat-out making up a tax.
There is no "fuel standards tax". There's a Clean Fuel Standard -- a regulation -- that might add a few pennies per litre at current carbon prices.

Always a good discussion with the panel and I have to say, I really appreciate Fred for his honesty in being critical of his own party here. I give him credit for that.

Nik Nanos: "When we ask Canadians who they would prefer as Prime Minister, Poilievre is 27 points back of Mark Carney. Mark Carney is like in the mid 50s and Pierre Poilievre is in the mid 20s."
Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."
Courage.
