Nah, one way tickets to El Salvador are cheaper if you fly direct. #cdnpoli

SCOOP: The Canadian tie to Trump's El Salvador mass deportations. But as it turns out, someone with significant ties to Canada — to our biggest museum, our 150th anniversary celebration, and who mentors students from a Canadian university — is a top dog at the company behind the planes that did these El Salvador deportations. #cdnpoli

Just in case you thought he'd forgotten...
From the White House press briefing today: “The president still maintains his position on Canada: The United States has been subsidizing Canada’s national defence, and he believes that Canadians would benefit greatly from becoming the 51st state.”
Our upcoming Canadian federal election remains the most consequential in generations. #elbowsUp #CanadaStrong
Pierre #Poilievre has declined to debate tonight in his own riding of #Ottawa Carleton. He sent his regrets; he's decided to campaign in Montreal instead.

Also, let's discuss another tie to Donald Trump's team that may get him into hot water over the weekend. PS: If the name "Robert Lighthizer" rings a bell, you get brownie points. #cdnpoli

Canada has fewer "constitutional impediments" to slow down Poilievre's implementation of Elon Musk's DOGE policies on Canada, meaning that same destructive rampage (which remains the Conservative priority) will fall on us with lightning speed should Poilievre win the election and take office in Canada.
---
If Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives win the federal election, they could move at lightning speed to shrink the size of the public service.
That’s according to Ian Brodie, a former chief of staff of prime minister Stephen Harper, who believes the most surefire way to usher in deregulation in Canada (a main priority for Poilievre) is to reduce the head count of the public service and fast.
“Once you deprive the public service of the people to create policies, guidelines and regulations and letters and contract documents and so on and so forth, the burden on society is reduced,” Brodie told an audience at the Canada Strong and Free Network’s annual conference in downtown Ottawa on April 11.
For Brodie, time is of the essence to reduce the federal budget. If elected, he said the Conservatives should move quickly to downsize the Privy Council Office and give ministers mandates to cut down departments’ workforces.
“The good thing, compared to the United States, is that, for all sorts of constitutional legal reasons, the impediments to DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency) moving quickly, we don’t really have to worry about in Canada,” Brodie said at the conservative conference. “Canada can move as quickly as it wants in fixing the fiscal problems.”
It’s been the approach for American and Argentinian right-wing governments that have sought to reduce public spending and regulation by trying to eradicate whole government agencies and departments. The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has laid off hundreds of thousands of government employees in recent months.
Poilievre’s Conservatives have said they will reduce the size of the public service through attrition, which would shed 17,000 jobs a year.

@cbcnews @politics-cbcnews How typically Canadian is this? #cdnpoli
#CBC Power and Politics about the dirty tricks from the #MarkCarney campaign:
It absolutely is now. Yes.
I think the time has passed for us to point out their hypocrisy. We've been doing it about #MAGA for 10 years now. They revel in how it annoys us. They think we're cucks.
We know they're irrational. They don't care. They don't think like us. Get. In. The. Streets.
Plan Civil War 2.0, unless you know past fascists who left non-violently? Know anyone in the military?
"The Trudeau government failed our veterans during the lost Liberal decade," says Mr. Poilievre "I will restore Canada's military while cutting spending"
— How would that work?
"We're going to end the woke culture & we're going to bring back a warrior culture".
Mr. #Poilievre also pledged his Conservative govt would cut what he called "wasteful foreign aid"
#elxn45 #cdnpoli #canada #veterans
"the lost Liberal decade" 
Think C D Howe, of Canada’s WWII era. Reading between the lines that’s the kind of appointment Carney is planning to implement once he wins the election. They will spearhead the rapid changes Carney is talking about in terms of transforming Canada’s economy & military to meet the new global reality. Meanwhile PP doesn’t have a clue how to meet the challenge other than more pipelines. #elxn45 #cdnpoli
It's too bad that when there are 2 popular things on air at the same time there's no technology that exists where you can offset watching one of them and watch it at a different time. Literally no conceivable way that that could be done since time only flows in one direction. Definitely impossible.

Pierre Poilievre vows to end ‘woke ideology’ in science funding.
RE: “I think this is the first time a politician in Canada has crossed that line to officially say they want to interfere to control research topics,” says Madeleine Pastinelli, president of the university professors’ union in the province of Quebec. “It could be a very terrible time for us.”
Wow, so I guess Danielle Smith's actions in Alberta have not reached the rest of the nation yet.
She came out in public and said that the scientific results of unbiased research does not produce enough "views" (as if scientific results are just an "opinion") which align with her Conservative ideology, so the Alberta government will step in to prevent Universities from receiving Federal funding on subjects which she finds to be "problematic", and could produce results which don't align with Conservative views.
I don't know how people can be unaware of this absolute travesty of authoritarian anti-science overreach.
I only wish she were right, that this dystopian nightmare was not so real.
