This email from the CPC is misleading propaganda BS that needs to be stamped out. Hard. I hope the Liberals make it a campaign issue in the upcoming by-election. Expose the CPC for what it is.

I hope PM Carney puts Chrystia Freeland in a position where she's right in Trump's face. She's 'nasty' and hard to deal with. In other words, she's a strong woman and not a bimbo pushover. Trump is afraid of her.

The CPC fundraising email is, not surprisingly, taken straight our of the MAGA playbook. For MAGA, every accusation is an admission. Whatever they accuse others of is exactly what they are doing. They are the election deniers who are spreading lies about election integrity so they can eventually justify denying and overturning election results. I regularly listen to Marc Elias so I know a little bit about how GOP has been engaging in gerrymandering, voter supression and election denial for decades. I am concerned that Maple MAGA is gradually introducing that kind of election denial in Canada. Back in 2020 when Trump and MAGA were spewing the voting-machine-flipping-votes nonsense, Elections Canada had to tweet that they don't use voting machines and use hand counting of paper ballots instead. But there are all kinds of nefarious things that can be done to make it harder to vote and easier to cheat.

Rachel you should definitely take some time off. No need to feel guilty. Political news are very exhausting and you need to unwind, do something for yourself, and spend some time with family and friends, which are all very important to maintain sanity in a crazy world. Early Happy Birthday to you 🎉

Of course, their email is scurrilous misinformation. It's par for the course of how and why they overperformed in Ontario. The CPC are Maple MAGA - FULL STOP. If the rest of the parties don't finally start punching back over this garbage, they're just like the Blue Team in the USA. Not up for the challenge of protecting representative democracy. The only point of "If they go low, we go hi" is to figuratively "bomb them from altitude."
