I have serious questions: So if the vaccine is no longer an exit strategy, how do we exit? What does success look like now? Have the past two years of extremely heavy handed government policy been a failure? How far and how long are people prepared to go with civil liberties?

Imagine travelling to Bejing and being “absolutely aghast” at what’s happening in Canada.
I'm half a world away covering a very serious Olympics, and covering Canada here, and I'm still absolutely aghast at what's happening at home. The new interim leader of the Conservatives was one of the people who went out to meet the occupying convoy.

Today I learned “blame goes back to the Mulroney era” is an official talking point the Liberal party is sending to operatives on social media in response to CNN. The message is bizarre but in the 30 years since Mulroney has been PM, the Liberals have ruled 20 of those years.

Max was in the debates last time and couldn’t win his seat. They didn’t have a leadership review or any leadership process because it’s not a real party. The PPC’s only purpose is to pay Max a $104,000 salary with no accountability and keep Trudeau as PM.

People of a younger generation may not know the importance of Reagan, Thatcher, Kohl and Mulroney. They defeated communism and brought in a golden age of conservatism while working together with the IDU to promote conservative thought around the world.
