Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre pledged to deport foreign nationals in Canada involved in criminal hatemongering, particularly targeting participants in pro-Palestinian protests he accuses of fueling anti-Semitism. His announcement comes amid rising concerns over hate crimes and attacks on Jewish institutions in Canada.
Bruce Fanjoy must take away corrupt Skippy’s seat in Carleton.
In order to support a friend of mine lives in this riding — she’s been braving Ottawa weather going door -to-door for Fanjoy, despite being in her 60s — I donated the max allowed to Fanjoy.
Ok fine. The “in support” is only half true, the other part is that I’m a petty dork who would take tremendous joy in being a small part in seeing PP lose his own seat.
Edit: I just refreshed my Home feed and saw your Fanjoy post there. Great work.
Too bad his pension is not tied to it as he’s gotten his golden goose early.
I’m debating whether to donate to that riding campaign. The gap seems large. Should I or would the money be better spent on the overall campaign?
If you’re calculating best possible return on investment, nationally or in a more competitive riding would probably be the most useful. The national ads have been pretty high quality so far, such as the Mike Myers one, and many of the competitive ridings are ones that were completely unexpected and have few resources.
But also, life’s too short to always just be about the best return on investment. I was happy to help support my friend, she was absolutely tickled pink to be able to tell her fellow volunteers that she brought in a donor. And yes, because doing something petty can feel good too.
I did my part!
That would be so wonderful if he did!
