Battlefoot Poilievre is much the same as Carleton Poilievre. He does a great disservice to Canada as Leader of the Opposition when he can't do anything but rant about how awful he thinks Canada is.

🔥🔥🔥 Carney on Poilievre - “I honestly believe he disdains much about the country. It’s pretty awkward for him now that the country is coming together. He’s trying to find a flag to wrap himself in & play patriot. The last refuge of a scoundrel, the last time I checked.” #cdnpoli

As a Brit, I was appalled to hear ordinary Americans saying that they didn't want their tax dollars spent on other people's healthcare. It's a ludicrous statement, where do they think their insurance premiums go (apart from the shareholders' pockets)? Civilized countries have socialized healthcare.

The bubble above her head says “no.” The fourth panel has the woman back to regular dress saying “and that is how insurance works!”

She is correct. Nothing is done. Every single time. Listening to media pundits claiming it's incomprehensible that it has happened again is a joke. Of course it did. The USA allows it - 100%. No one is safe anywhere. It's gun culture & access to guns. #GunControlNow

Media ownership has always been key to the issue, and editorial policy will always reflect the owners' bias. In Canada, the CBC's bias is a bit odd and you have to wonder who influences it, because it certainly isn't Carney judging by the huge pass they give Poilievre.

Limit access to guns, that's what you have to do.

They dress it up as "freedom", but it's fear, cowardice and gun lust.

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.

He opens his mouth and shit pours out. His base believes it, his closest enablers lick it all up and ask for more. It's hard to fathom that this is happening in the USA, it looks more like North Korea or Iran.

Limit access to guns. The US is suffering from an epidemic of gun lust that's covered with a thin veneer of "freedom". Look to how other countries do things.
