Poilievre needs to pull 70-80% support to stay. If he polls less & tries to stay two things will happen. There will be more defections and/or he’ll be fighting rearguard actions within his own party throughout his tenure. I’m not sure he can get that much support.

From God’s lips to your conservative ears: “Only criminals carry guns!” I think it’s time every law officer and gun-owning conservative turn in their assault-style weapons that they claim they need for “hunting”. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Boycott the World Cup Not a foot should be set in that country until the madness stops

Regarding the ongoing signature collection in Alberta for a referendum on separation, @piosmo.bsky.social writes in Le Monde: "The MAGA ecosystem has seized on this political moment – the signature drive is scheduled to continue until early May – in an attempt to destabilize Canada."

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com "It was our country’s destiny to reflect ideals that made us an incandescent beacon for democracy," Maureen Dowd writes. "But Trump has pulverized those ideals. We are now seen as sinister, selfish, unruly and at everybody’s throats."

The DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the Senate.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.
