#Poilivre wants to reverse our attempts to help the #environment and creatures that inhabit it.
"The Problem
Single-use plastics, such as drinking straws, are polluting the world’s oceans at an alarming rate and endangering #marine #wildlife.
The United States alone contributes 500 million straws daily to this #plastic wasteland. That’s enough straws to wrap around the #earth 2.5 times each day."

"Per predictions, practical patriotic policies probably prevailing. Press printing Poilievre’s pissy presentations perhaps perturbed polls, producing population purposefully pondering punting Poilievre.
At press time, the Conservative Party leader was trying to remember which Alberta riding he represented."

#canada this is a very close call.
Go vote.
Make sure your voice is heard to avoid the destruction of our country that #poilievre would bring.
We in Canada need to pressure our new government (fingers crossed - Liberal) to shred the 'safe third country' agreement, and commit to accepting any and all refugees and asylum seekers who cross the land border with the United States.
Our country will be better for it. We need to find the space. It is the right thing to do.

It’s incredulous that, if polls are to be believed, roughly 38% of Canadian voters support a party led by a guy who spouts Trump talking points and calls Canadians stupid. #canPoli #NeverVoteConservative
My Canadian friends, please don't let what happened in the US happen to you. I worry after the creepy Freedom Convoy and the rise of that Poilievre guy. Vote wisely.

re: the awkward CPC "hostage video" commercial with Stephen Harper.
It's hardly worth responding, but during the 2008 crisis, neither Mark Carney nor Pierre Poilièvre "worked for" him:
Poilièvre was a back-bench MP, working for the voters who elected him in Carleton riding
Carney was the independent Governor of the Bank of Canada, not even allowed to take direction from the PMO.
Mr Harper knows all that. He's almost choking on the script they're forcing him to read.
Poillievre’s rally in Nanoose Bay last night. The irony is the article spends the whole time talking about the Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding, granted it is an interesting potentially 4 party race, but the venue was in my Courtenay-Alberni riding. 
Sounds like they got attendees to come from all over the Island. It is the largest barn that I know of on the Island. I went on trail rides there once when it was small. Now it is giant, pretentious.
Perfect for thousands of tonnes of horse 
Keep a close eye on VI! We are going to have a close election!

Its oil propaganda. Its oil bosses paying for brexit level disstabilization. Its not representation its sell.oil, explore forvoil, cutvregs, stop fighting climate.
Its AstroTurf right wingerism paid for oil.patch owners, China, former VP Cheney, the old oil giants.
There is no way to "solve" excuses.
The Alberta "just oil excuses" government has made "green energy" projects illegal.
To my American friends,
Know that this Monday we have a very important election in Canada.
We are trying to stop Musk-backed Canadian-Trump Pierre Poilievre from becoming our Prime Minister (President).
We are also trying to stay a country.
Just that.
Wish us luck! 
If you are voting on Monday April 28th
(and if you are an adult Canadian the answer to this should be YES)
Don't forget to bring with you official IDs and some official letters with your current address on it, in case you need to re-register on the voting list. This is especially true if you have not received a voting card in the mail.
For some obscure reason, and despite none of my information changing since the last federal election, I had been removed from my current address and would have not found out before election day if I had not checked and called in advance to correct this.
I find this pretty suspicious by the way,
and I'm afraid it might have happened to others who will only find out on Monday and not have the proper identification with them.
Let's make sure your vote is counted.
This election is crucial
