Niagara Police are looking for the driver of a white dodge ram pick up who hit, ran and killed a cyclist around 6pm on August 12, Welland Rd and Effingham St. Send them info if you got it! This shameless horrific act cannot stand: www.cp24.com/local/niagar...

Last time we checked, DoFo was elected premier of Ontario. The Ontario government has no jurisdiction or business meddling in municipal affairs, but he does anyway. Judges meanwhile doing precisely the job we ask them to do and Dougie loses his mind.

Also mentioned in the article is a book by Poilievre sycophant Andrew Lawton. A person with a long history of misogyny, racism, homophobia and Islamophobia quietly parachuted into a safe Conservative riding in SW Ontario. Deeply disturbing individual.
David H π¨π¦ (@d-p-h.bsky.social) reply parent
He sounds just as obnoxious as Andrew Lawton, very quietly parachuted in to a safe SW Ontario seat. St Thomas-Elgin-London South. Misogynistic, racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, anti-gay, anti-feminist, but still managing to stay under the radar.

he seems to be suggesting weβll be getting a lot more for the taxes weβre not going to pay π€ I donβt want my taxes wasted, but I do want them to be spent to the best possible effect for most of the population. That does not mean giving tax breaks to people buying $1m homes.

While I have a concern that no matter who we vote for, weβll get a politician, Iβm happy for it to be someone with a realistic view of our world. Kowtowing to the orange blob isnβt helping anyone.

In case you were still wondering if Pierre Poilievre is MAGA/Trump, read this. This is an EXTREMELY Trump thing to do. And heβs getting global attention for saying heβs going to do it. This is worse than the science-muzzling Harper did. And Poilievre will go a LOT farther than this. #VOTE
