It's really hard to fight the instinct to vote strategically...

Then you realize:
- Conservatives will never do that.
- Liberals are much less likely to vote strategically.
- The only persuadable voters left are the indifferent (who aren't looking it up) and the other parties.

Fuck this shit, I'm voting for Zorg.*

“In videos posted on social media, Aaron Gunn – the Conservative candidate in North Island-Powell River in British Columbia – has said Canada’s program of residential schools did not constitute an act of genocide and that the schools are “much-maligned.”

“There was no genocide. Stop lying to people and read a book,” Gunn wrote in 2020.”

The Globe and Mail · Chief wants Tories to drop candidate accused of denying residential schools historyBy Alessia Passafiume

Canada’s Dirty Secret: While MPs applauded a Nazi SS veteran, over 1,800 suspected war criminals hid in plain sight thanks to Ottawa's secrecy. A trove of RCMP files, already public for 5 years, exposes decades of cover-ups under the guise of privacy. Yet lawsuits still drag on to force transparency. Justice delayed is justice denied.

The Canadian Jewish NewsCanada has a secret list of suspected Nazis. This historian found the files onlineThe CJN has also seen the declassified RCMP pages. And now you can too.

An interesting few days in the #cdnpoli advertising landscapes.

I have seen no anti-Carney ads from the #CPC.
The new #PierrePoilevre ad makes me think they should give Jeff Douglas a cut.
Local ads without #PierrePoilievre are popping up. I think they may be dissociating themselves from their leader.
#Liberal ads are few and far between, but having #MarkCarney on the news all the time as PM standing up to #HeWhoMustNotBeNamed is a pretty god substitute.

Today's remarks from Prime Minister Mark Carney:

"If the United States no longer wants to lead, Canada will take that role.

We answered the call to defeat fascism.
We know we are not always perfect, but we always strive to be good. We do not do things because they are easy, but because they are right.
We will rise to meet this challenge, and we will emerge stronger."

Today, Chris Barber & Tamara Lich were found guilty of mischief for their roles in Freedom Convoy.

UPDATE: Crown prosecutors have signalled they would seek jail time; the maximum penalty for mischief is ten years. The two are expected to be sentenced later this year. 

Never forget Pierre #Poilievre and the Conservative Party of #Canada supported the convoy, the blockades, and the #Ottawa occupation.
They even brought them doughnuts.
