The article mentions that Israeli fans are at fault for all of this and that the arrests happened because a court ordered ban on all protests.

He walked with them AFTER forcing a bad contract on all rail workers.

Lets not just look at the last thing he did on unions.

There are degrees of plugin hybrids.

One one hand you have things like the current batch of BMW “hybrids” that are just an underpowered(at least for the highway mountain passes where I am, they’re overpowered for city driving) gas car with a token electric motor.

But you also have ones that have a tiny gas motor that can be designed to run exclusively at peak efficiency. Is it ideal, no, ideally it would be 100% electric, but for the logistics we have, they will do for now.

Thats not strictly true. Most hybrids now use a gas motor to augment the battery since commercially available batteries aren’t as convenient.

In all of them that I can think of, the gas motor never provides torque to the wheels, it runs a generator that then runs the electric motor. Same principle as diesel electric locomotives.

Also, western idiots have been allowing the CCP to buy a functional monopoly on rare earth metal mines.

And all of the corporate news execs are elated because for the next 4 years they don’t have to worry about running out of news; because they think they’re safe.

  1. They need a majority of the provinces to have allied conservative governments to re-open the constitution, the charter and pervert both of them.

To that end Alberta spent at least 20 million dollars in the last two months to influence elections in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

  1. Poilievre would need to deal with the Supreme Court of Canada. This is one of the things Harper tried to start but he was stymied at several levels because lawyers and justices protested his attempt to insert unqualified judges to that bench.

However, the government also has the Notwithstanding clause that allows them carte blanche to override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to do what they want, subject to those overrides being refreshed every 5 years. That clause was included over a fear of judges having too much power and was included at the last minute. Outside of Quebec, it has been used 6 times, all of them by conservative governments, mostly within the last 20 years.

Uses outside of Quebec: • 1982 - Yukon - land planning bill • 1986 - Sask. - back to work legislation. • 2000 - Alberta - anti-LGBT marriage, overruled in 2004 by Paul Martin at the federal level. 2015 - Sask. - considered it to override ruling to keep outlawing public sector strikes, but relented and did not use it. 2017 - Sask. - override court ruling against public funding of non-Catholics attending Catholic schools. 2018 - Ontario - used to forcibly change Toronto’s municipal council. 2021 - Ontario - overruled court to stifle free speech against them.

Pierre Poilievre is the leader of the conservative party. That party has been in the grips of religious zealots since 2003, when Stockwell Day capitulated the existing Progressive Conservative party to the extremist Reform party.

When he(Pierre Poilievre) was a minister under Stephen Harper, they suppressed scientific research, abolished and ignored environmental laws, ran roughshod over first nations, tried to repeal same sex marriage and tied foreign aid to the passing of strict anti-abortion and anti-LGBT laws in the receiving countries. They also were riddled with scandals, including taking a significant portion of the security budget of a G7 conference in Toronto for various ministers pet projects in their own ridings. They also routinely capitulated to US interests, including destroying BC’s forestry industry by allowing Canadian logs to be shipped directly to the US and not processed at all in Canada.

Also they cut so much from the budget and gave to their friends; as an example, they sold the building space for the control tower for Vancouver Harbour to friendly developers. They also sold the land for Vancouver’s coast guard base to developers, changing their response time from 5-15 minutes to 45-60 minutes. One of the things that helped Trudeau get elected in 2015 was reversing that sale and reopening the base.

Poilievre and the CPC party have been caught at anti-vaxxer rallies, at anti-LGBT rallies, at the anti-vaxxer riots(both the truck border riot and the attempted coup in Ottawa) during Covid, and he has refused to get a security clearance so he and his party have not been willing to deal with known(according to CSIS) treasonous party members, nor have they done or said anything over Moti’s(PM of India) inner circle officially attacking and murdering Canadian Citizens in Canada.

Current polls put his CPC party at getting roughly 60 seats over a majority, and the election has to happen next year.

I asked on here, but I’m Canadian. I know what is coming up here and it’s worse than Trump.

  1. Its more that they’re returning to the old ways. Unfortunately it was a brief, exclusively western concept that justice was universal.
  2. There is a solution to it. Western Europeans did it before, we can do it again.
