I'm willing to bet they got paid several million dollars to write it.

So, like... a computer.
It's a fine line. My mother believes Q-adjacent anti-vax bullshit that her manic bipolar boyfriend spoonfeeds her. She's otherwise a competent, independent adult. She knows who the Prime Minister is (and that he's satan incarnate) and pays her bills on time. She believes insane bullshit, but she's not dangerous to herself or others.
She's not forcing anyone to send her money, she's saying crazy things that somehow resonate with people who are to some degree mentally ill but not dangerous, like my mother. People do stupid shit all the time, and if we criminalized that, we'd have to turn all of Alberta into a prison.
As for the threats, she's not a genuine threat, and arresting / locking her up would turn her into a martyr to her followers, which could cause bigger issues. The people who tried to arrest police in Peterborough got what was coming to them, and they were made an example of. Cult leaders don't want their followers getting locked up where they can snap out of it.
And to put a number to this... I'm getting older, and I'm close to retirement, and I have a (low) 7 digit net worth between my home, savings, my business, etc. And I'd never vote Conservative. The people whose dicks PP is sucking are worth tens of millions or more.
Want to know more? Go search for PP's net worth and ask yourself how a public servant accumulates that much money.
And before anyone says heat pumps don't work in cold climates... They do. Modern heat pumps work perfectly well down to below -20c -- they're slightly less efficient...
My experience in replacing my electric central furnace and HVAC unit... ... has cut my annual electricity costs by nearly 55%. ... works fine in both summer and winter, the house has never been more comfortable. ... was substantially more expensive than the old style, but because my power costs are low, I may not fully recover the cost. ... only requires I rinse the outside unit off with water two or three times a year, and replace the furnace filters. ... has a heater unit in case we get way, way down to beyond -30c, but that seems profoundly unlikely anymore.
Yes... Let's re-open this bucket of bullshit. When they left for Ottawa, they had a written declaration and were planning on overthrowing the democratically elected government with some ridiculously ignorant idea for dissolving parliament and placing themselves in control.
This is too stupid to not be plain old grift.
Solution: Tax the fuck out of them, and use that money as a rebate for smaller grocery retailers, or direct to consumers.
If Pierre feels so strongly about this, he should post his browser history from all his devices.
All the reasons we can't police his internet usage are all the reasons he can't control ours.
Is it me, or is PP just sucking Trump's dick every time he opens his mouth?
I'm no fan of Trudeau's since he shitcanned electoral reform after bathing in the applause of citizens from across the country for months after saying that election would be the last one under FPTP.
Having said that... PP could show us how smart he is by whipping out his big balls and telling us EXACTLY what he'd do to change things, complete with a costed budget. But he hasn't. And he won't. Because he's full of shit.
How do I know he's full of shit? Because Thug Ford ran the same sort of campaign (Buck a beer folks!!) and just look at how he's fucking with the entire province - specifically health care and education, to the benefit of his friends in private industry.
Wow, this sounds just like a Conservative rant about how dirty and evil and bad cities are, written to be consumed by folks from the burbs who haven't been downtown for 25+ years.
What? NatPo is owned by an American hedge fund? Quelle surprise.
