The crimes of Harper that Poilievre will not talk about. Canada's war in Afghanistan resulted in the deaths of 158 Canadian Armed Forces members, one diplomat, and four aid workers, with thousands more injured. The financial cost to Canada was at least $18 billion. A costly and useless war!

Alberta’s sovereignty within a united Canada poses a grave threat to the rule of law. Smith has yet to see the implications this act poses. Currently there is a Supreme Court to hear appeals, but Alberta makes no mention of courts and the rule of law in its Act. This is half baked legislation!

CBC national news highlights mixed reviews of MAGA Smith. The Smith panel is getting some nasty scrutiny from political science gurus across Canada. Many Canadians aren’t too pleased where the panel is going. Clearly there is great fear of changes in the senate and constitution if this goes fwd.

Law experts weigh in on Poilievre’s proposed new criminal law amendment. He’s trying to implement a Florida law that will do nothing to protect the home owner. Poilievre’s fixation on crime is an old Harper trick. Conservatives obsess with crime when they have nothing better to do.

Alberta starts book ban on graphic sexual content. Schools must pull award winning Margaret Atwood’s novel “The Handmaid’s Tale”. Heavy work for dept heads and other school staff to plough through over 5,000 or more library books. This must be more important than settling a teachers’ strike.

As Poilievre speaks about weak liberal laws on crime he has not said a single word about the atrocities of Israel in Gaza. Same for his deputy.
