The Sore Loser Party of CanadaThe vote hadn’t even been counted when Danielle Smith urged Mark Carney to “reset the relationship” with Alberta… by promising to protect the province from “future hostile acts” from Ottawa.
Vote like your life depends on it - because it does

2 weeks ago | cultmtl.com | Taylor C. Noakes

Vote like your life depends on it — because it doesI genuinely believe that this election is very different — the most unique federal election in my lifetime — because of the fact that Canada is the victim of an unjust trade war, and the lunatic currently running the United States into the ground intends on expanding America’s territory through bullying, if not outright force. I have never voted in an election where so much of what’s at stake is being decided by forces outside the country.
Beware: Canada is having its first disinformation election

Beware: Canada is having its first disinformation election. Were it not bad enough that Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has received the endorsement of Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk, a Financial Times analysis of 350,000 Twitter posts reveals a coordinated campaign to support Poilievre and attack the reputation of Liberal Party leader Mark Carney.

A third-party advertiser that has bombarded Canadians with pro-gas messaging over the last few months has ties to the Poilievre campaign.

Build Canada, a new public policy think tank seeking to solve Canada’s economic problems, has ties to the Conservative Party of Canada, and appears to be shaping their energy policy too. Created by major figures in Canada’s tech sector in February 2025, Build Canada bills itself as a non-partisan…
Pierre Poilievre has accomplished nothing during his 20 years in Parliament

3 weeks ago | cultmtl.com | Taylor C. Noakes

As of April 21, 2025, the Conservatives have not released a party platform for the election they a) knew was coming, b) spent all of 2024 trying to goad Trudeau into calling early, and c) were going to win in a landslide up until three months ago. This is pathetic by any objective measure. To me, it demonstrates that this isn’t as much a political party as it is a ChatGPT-based slogan-generating algorithm speaking through the mouth of everyone’s least favourite muppet, Pierre Poilievre.

3 weeks ago | cultmtl.com | Taylor C. Noakes

The Leaders’ Debate Commission has failed Canada for the last time. First, they undermined their own importance by rescheduling for a hockey game. Second, they banned the Greens — a national party — for not having enough candidates, while still allowing the Bloc. Third, they allowed far-right activists to dominate the French debate’s press scrum.
