Canadian media is busy telling you the most important issue in politics this week is two low-level LPC staffers making a mistake.

But meanwhile, our fundamental rights are under attack. Ostensibly to enact some American-made crime policy that caused widespread harm there and is broadly understood to be a failure.

This is important, and it affects each and every one of you reading this. Your rights are at stake.

Get out there and vote. If you can’t stomach strategic voting to cross party lines, or even if you dislike the choices available at the local or leadership level — go and vote regardless. When Canadians reject this evil and send PP and his MAGA goons to the dumpster, know that you were an active participant in the rejection.

I'm Canadian and have lived here for more than 20 years. Poilievre is threatening to deport people like me for criticising Israel, and threatening to strip rights from my LGBTQ+ friends and family. We are all Canadian, and pleased to be Canadian, yet this man threatens to turn the state against us just as Trump is doing in the USA. Everyone needs to get out and vote to keep him away from power, or it could very well be the end of democratic Canada as we know it, and a personal disaster for many Canadian families.

Well said. With people like you out there helping to stop it, we will dump him and his maga ideology in the trash where it belongs
