Poilievre first introduced the private member’s bill, C-278, last year when he was running for the party’s leadership.

It has since been picked up by Conservative MP Dean Allison, a noted anti-mandate critic who, like his leader, supported the trucker convoy that loudly opposed the government’s approach to COVID-19.

    This is the exact anti-science, anti-community garbage that would come out of a Poilievre government, guaranteed. “We’re all in this together” doesn’t apply to extremely selfish conservatives who get all their news from outrage-bait like Ezra Levant or Fox News.

    From climate change to vaccinations to women’s rights against forced birth to the cbc, this guy has the worst possible takes on all of them and he will be an absolute disaster in Canada.

      To be fair, we were never “in this together”. We liked to say that a lot, but as with everything else under capitalism, the poor got fucked.

        It’s not even limited to the poor, anyone who is not in the ruling class gets fucked over. A lawyer making a few hundred thousand a year is getting fucked over and thinks they are on top. People with money don’t notice that they are getting fucked over because money makes problems go away.

      They’re hoping that the liberal popularity collapse gives them carte blanche right now. It shouldn’t. But the Liberals needs to do something about housing that isn’t nothing.
