      This is the part that pisses me off the most. The cancer that is American politics is infecting our country. Now we got dumb fucks like Danielle Smith and PP crying about the “woke” agenda and other imported republican bullshit. Even worse, it’s working extremely well on the dumbest of our population and spreading like wildfire.

      Fuck America and their sports team politics. People need to realize it should be working class VS the rich, but they keep us distracted and divided with this dumb fucking culture war and the morons are lapping it up.

          Remember when Poilievre accused the Liberal government of starting the wildfires? Apparently he embraces nutty conspiracy theories and climate change denial, American style.

          Here’s a clip from Question Period a few months back:

          https://twitter.com/ThunderBayEd/status/1656734773014822926

          At the 0:49 mark, Karina Gould mentions the fires in Alberta, and at 1:02 Pierre Poilievre can be clearly heard saying “started by your government”. It’s very disheartening to see how there’s no Republican low Canada’s Conservatives won’t stoop to, given the chance.

            The irony here is that trump did start the camp fire in California. He purposely stopped wildfire prevention efforts on the federal lands surrounding Paradise, California because “those people didn’t vote for me”.

            To make it dramatic irony, over 75% of Paradise actually did vote for Trump.

            Please Canada, learn from America. Don’t make the same mistakes.

        I hope you appreciate the irony of saying it should be rich vs poor instead of anything else, right after saying “fuck America”

      PP, Ford, Smith, RW municipal politicians are grinding away at Canadian democracy as we speak.
