In an interview with #RadioCanada, #Poilievre was noncommittal on whether #ChildCare, #DentalCare and #pharmacare would be dismantled by a government led by him — but he raised questions about the programs' effectiveness.

My translation:
"Noncommittal" means "cuts"

Governor #DeWine broke #Ohio law when he removed a teachers’ pension board member to thwart the results of an active board election.

His actions now must be fully investigated.

1/… I'll ask a favor of you.

This trial hasn't even started yet, not one witness. Yet...

I'm getting Doomers galore in my feed.

A Trumpy helped convict him in an earlier trial.

The prosecutors are vetting the jurors carefully.

I am not Dooming. Not yet.

Can we wait for the trial to be in full swing before predicting the worst possible outcome? Or do people thrive on constant pessimism? I just don't.

Thanks so much for listening. Let's try to be hopeful.

It’s not coincidence that when demonstrably established misconduct by #Trump takes place (fraud, sex #assault, #insurrection, praising dictators, etc) media use language like “allegedly”, “accused by opponents of". When it comes 2 Trump feeding #media fundraising numbers that seem 2 B @ odds w/ objective data staring us in face (photos, #FEC reports, use of proceeds, etc) media reports what Trump tells them as fact. The media is broken & intentionally so

"quite literally every penny that [the English privatised water industry] has borrowed this century has been used to make payment of dividends to shareholders. Even more money was used to pay interest to those from whom funds had been borrowed to finance these dividends"

This is barefaced fraud.
