Dear Editor:
In the next election Canadians should think hard before voting for Pierre Poilievre and his Elon Musk “free speech,” which like all good conservatives, means the exact opposite.
Poilievre happily referred the CBC to Elon Musk to have it declared a government propaganda new agency. Musk has also listed the BBC and NPR as government agencies.
Poilievere was so excited he stated, “Now people know that it is Trudeau propaganda, not news and I will defund the CBC.” It’s interesting that Musk has no problem with Russian news outlets – I wonder why?
Poilievere plans to turn Canada into a clone of Republican politics, with his being in bed with anti-vaxxers, law breakers and racists – and like Republicans, he offers no real policies. His will be a nasty government working on his enemies list. If you love Trump and Republicans you will love him.
Rumor has it Poilievere will appear in the documentary by that other great rich man, Tucker Carlson, on why the U.S. should invade Canada.
Republicans hate Canada since it is a nation, with all its problems, that believes in providing for its citizens and does not that have enough mass murders.
Nothing like “free speech” by Carlson, a proven liar, and Musk. By all means, let’s let them tell us what is true and false.
