AOC ripped for TikTok video arguing against banning Chinese-owned app

Does AOC stand for “Ambassador of China”?

Social media-loving socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was ripped after she argued against banning TikTok Saturday — just days after disturbing testimony on Capitol Hill detailed the company’s ties to China and its failure to police harmful content for underage users.

“Do I believe TikTok should be banned? No,” the lefty New York congresswoman says in her first-ever video on the controversial app, posted early Saturday.

Singh ‘not satisfied’ with confidence-and-supply agreement, says he’d do a better job as PM

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he’s “not satisfied” with his party’s confidence-and-supply agreement with the Liberals — signed a year ago this week — because it’s shown him he could do a better job running the country than the current government.

“And so it’s led me to not be satisfied with the position I’m in,” he said. “I want to be the prime minister, but I’m proud of the work we’ve done.”

Olivia Chow, Mark Saunders lead in poll of potential Toronto mayoral candidates

A poll of prominent potential mayoral candidates finds former NDP MP Olivia Chow and former police chief Mark Saunders with the most support ahead of the official April 3 start of the byelection to replace John Tory.

The Forum Research survey of 1,009 Torontonians saw Chow as the choice of 24 per cent of deciding and leaning voters and Saunders with 22 per cent support — a statistical tie because the gap between them is within the poll’s margin of error.


Olivia has lost every election she has run in since the passing of her husband Jack “Velvet Touch” Layton.

When she last ran for Mayor it was to wide acclaim by all the usual suspects, that is the Star.

She was miles ahead in the polls until common sense prevailed.

You’d think she’d get the message.

Ps. Neither Chowcescu or Saunders are impressive candidates let’s hope Furey picks up steam.

One of these individuals is the victim of anti-black discrimination.
