2/6 The 80% figure is completely false.

Smith cited a newspaper column that has since been corrected. The actual national figure is that only 14% of federal appointees gave to the Liberal party before being selected.

In Alberta, that number sits at 22% since 2015.

Observations from Montreal An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.

“For 20 years, Pierre Poilievre has voted against initiatives to make housing more affordable and address Canada’s housing crisis. Some of his top donors are real estate investors. He claims to be a champion of the working class — but really he’s corporate landlords’ best friend.”

Support for the Conservative Party of Canada decreases with education There is an inverse relationship between education and support for the Conservative Party of Canada.

It’s time to have an honest discussion about critical thinking.

The less educated you are, the more likely you are to vote Conservative.

1/6 🇨🇦 ⚠️ WAKE THE HELL UP -- THE UCP IS A SEPARATIST PARTY! ⚠️ 🇨🇦

David Climenhaga warns that while the UCP plays coy, their actions scream separatism.

A plan to vote on separation *after* a referendum is part of the deception.

Minneapolis schools cancel classes after Border Patrol clash disrupts dismissal at Roosevelt Minneapolis schools closed for the week citing safety concerns after an encounter involving armed Border Patrol agents near Roosevelt High School.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

Why Are Grok and X Still Available in App Stores? Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.

I'm glad to see this pressure on Google and Apple. If any other company was running an active CSAM generator in public you better believe it would have been removed from their app stores by now www.wired.com/story/x-grok...
