MODERATORS
 

In a preliminary vote on Tuesday, all 109 Conservative lawmakers in the House of Commons opposed updated legislation for the free trade agreement between Canada and Ukraine, which received the unanimous support of all the other parties.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who is leading in all polls, said his party did not support it because it would force Ukraine to adopt a carbon tax. The trade bill includes language that the two countries will "promote" carbon pricing and mitigation, but does not have provisions that force such a plan.

"To see the Conservative Party of Canada decide not to support Ukraine with something they need with the absurd excuse that it's because Ukraine is going to put a price on pollution, is ridiculous," Trudeau told reporters in French at a news conference in Newfoundland.

"The real story is the rise of a right-wing, American MAGA influence thinking that has made Canadian Conservatives, who used to be among the strongest defenders of Ukraine... turn their backs on something Ukraine needs in its hour of need," Trudeau said in English a little later, speaking after a meeting with top officials from the European Union.

Pierre Poilievre, Canada's Trump of the north.

AKA Millhouse ...

He doesn't wear glasses now because Trudeau doesn't wear them. He's just so cringe.

God damn. Putin's influence in worldwide conservative fascist movements is fucked up.

All of them are literally the fucking worst kind of humans. Insufferable contrarians with zero practical solutions, at best. (And of course, fascist nazi psychopaths with Final Solutions, at worst.) They all share the tiniest reservoir of empathy, and the memory of goldfish. (Should be required to watch stuff like this before Ukraine votes.)

Canada has a pretty sizeable Ukrainian diaspora, IIRC mostly located in Tory home base in the Canadian plains,

This would be like Biden adopting a "Eat shit New York and California!" policy

PP is such a loser. I really hope he doesn't win. I'm old enough to be ashamed of being Canadian because of Harper and his insanity.

Harper was one of the worst things to happen to Canada, but he couldn't have done it if Brian Mulroney hadn't paved the way by being Reagan's lapdog.
