It will be really interesting to see how much gasoline prices come down when the #carbontax is removed. I will expect that the oil companies will pocket this as additional profit, and not lower prices very much, if at all. #canpoli #canelxn

Je suis déjà tombé sur de la désinformation au sujet de notre élection.

Un ami m’a transmis un post Instagram où il était dit que le Premier ministre refusait de débattre en français, coupé au titre.

C’est le débat à TVA où les participants devaient payer 75 000 $ et le Parti vert n’a même pas été invité où il ne participera pas.

Il va débattre en français au débat officiel.

// Français à suivre //

I have already run into disinformation about our election.

A friend forwarded me an Instagram post where it said that the Prime Minister refused to debate in French, cut at the headline.

It’s the about TVA debate where participants were required to pay $75,000 and the Green Party was not even invited.

He will be debating in French in the official debate.

Canada, ça y est! L’élection est lancée.

Il est temps pour notre démocratie de briller. Cette élection est plus cruciale que jamais.

L’ingérence étrangère sera présente.

Parlons-nous les uns aux autres, dans le respect, et faisons le meilleur choix pour nous... en tant que pays vrai, souverain, indépendant et démocratique. C'est à nous comme Canadiens de faire notre choix.

Je vous laisse ces mots de John Diefenbaker, 13e PM

Foreign interference will be at play, on all fronts.

Let's talk to each other, in respect, and make the best choice for ourselves... as a true, sovereign, independent, democratic country. It's our decision to make as Canadians.

I'll leave on these words by John G. Diefenbaker, 13th PM

Canadian democracy is not in a good place. The Ontario Liberals and NDP have decided they want to be systemic opposition in Ontario. The Liberals oust Trudeau, because he wasn't friendly enough to capital. We're going to have a federal election, and it looks it is going to be a battle of who can help rich people amass the most wealth, #Carney or #Poilievre.

I laughed out loud when I heard Poillievre actually say:

"I'm a strong leader, I'm a tough guy to deal with”

Guy sounds like Dan Aykroyd, but funny in a different way.

We all know... dudes who feel like they have to say they're "strong" and “tough” are really neither. They're just Bullies and Cowards.

Just like Trump.

Well! According to reporting from multiple sources this morning, the 68% of you who thought an election would be called this week or before the 28th were right!

Carney will call the election on Sunday!

That leaves one last question before then, so I will make this poll 3 days. Will the Election Date be April 28th or May 5.

Don't be surprised that Pierre Poillievre is not allowing reporters to travel with his bus.

Controlling the narrative is what it's all about.

The question is whether media, journalists, and voters will take the responsibility to punish him for it.

Same goes for CPC candidates not doing all candidate meetings.

These are basic requirements. Or at least they should be.

Letting it slide means letting our democracy slide just like the USA.
