After tonight's debate, Andrew Scheer was asked by three reporters if he supports a woman's right to choose. Three times he refused to answer. It's clear Scheer personally opposes a women's right to choose, but he's too frightened to admit it. #cdnpoli #faceafacetva

Faith Goldy was just kicked off Facebook for promoting white nationalism. Here's a photo of Faith Goldy interviewing Andrew Scheer. Scheer would really hate it if you retweeted this photo of them. #cdnpoli

Jason Kenney launched a snitch line targeting groups who are fighting to save the environment. Doug Ford launched a snitch line targeting teachers. Conservatives love free speech for themselves, but not for anyone else

To summarize: - Scheer, Kenney and Ford endorsed the United We Roll convoy - The convoy is organized by the far-right Yellow Vests Canada - The organizers are connected to hate groups - Members of the Yellow Vests threatened to murder politicians Did we forget anything?

Faith Goldy was just kicked off Facebook for promoting white nationalism. Here are two photos of Doug Ford hanging out with Faith Goldy. Last year Ford refused to apologize for appearing with her. Ford would really hate it if you retweeted these photos #onpoli

The Conservative Party is threatening Nora Loreto, who is covering the @CPC_HQ convention for The Maple, with arrest. This comes after @CPC_HQ denied us media accreditation (just like @TheBreachMedia). We are demanding answers from the Conservative Party as to why this happened.

Well, I've now been told I will go to jail if I interview delegates for this convention from the head of security of the party. I hope they have a nice cell! #cpc23

Galen Weston's family fortune is $8.2 billion. You could give every homeless person in Canada a decent rental home for more than a year with that money, and the Westons would still have $2.2 billion left. Every billionaire is a policy failure.
