Erin O’Toole wants all Canadians to see themselves in his Conservative Party.
“Canadians haven’t always seen themselves in our party. We are going to change that,” he says in a new online ad.
I can hardly wait.

Twitter erupted in calls for retribution on Wednesday, as accounts bearing the social network’s stamp of approval — the blue “verified” checkmark — called for Trump supporters to be shot.

CNN’s Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, and others were aghast Wednesday as the nation watched thousands of President Trump’s supporters storm the Capitol, breaching the premises, and rioting within the building. Aside from all the violence, though, they were otherwise peaceful!
Finally, the media understand how dangerous mobs can be. Good timing.
To be sure, Wednesday’s events were grotesque. This is how liberals are expected to behave — such as when all of Washington, D.C., was boarded up in anticipation of how the locals would react if Trump won reelection. Republican-leaning precincts didn’t have to do any boarding up because that’s not expected of them.
Remember when this was ok? https://t.co/F1NWLvH3Zi

Outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump’s stores were taken off-line by Shopify Inc. on Thursday, as the country grappled with the role he played in inciting violence that erupted at the Capitol building the day before.
The Ottawa-based e-commerce company said that it terminated stores affiliated with Trump because his actions contravened Shopify’s policies.
“Shopify does not tolerate actions that incite violence,” the company said in a statement.
Shopify are such saints…
Shopify stores riddled with fakes and fraudsters
Nearly 21% of Shopify stores pose a risk to their customers, according to analysis by e-commerce authentication service Fakespot.
Shopify provides the technology backbone for businesses to set up a store and sell their products online.
The company has become valuable to small businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic, because its services are cheap and easy to set up.
The world’s reaction to the assault on the Capitol building by pro-Trump mobs ranged from delight to horror, depending on their views of America. Those who see the U.S. as an enemy, like Iran and China, found a measure of schadenfreude in the incident after the United States had spent decades trashing their government’s repression.

The Boston Massacre was a deadly riot that occurred on March 5, 1770, on King Street in Boston. It began as a street brawl between American colonists and a lone British soldier, but quickly escalated to a chaotic, bloody slaughter. The conflict energized anti-British sentiment and paved the way for the American Revolution.

A former Liberal Party president and a former longtime Liberal MP say the party has veered too far to the left and alienated many veteran Liberals.
Six-term Liberal MP Dan McTeague sat in the House of Commons representing southern Ontario ridings from 1993 to 2011, and was active in the party going back to the late 1970s.
But McTeague says that his former party is now Liberal in name only.
Last night, Facebook followed Twitter in imposing a one-day ban on Donald Trump over its social-media platforms. On second thought this morning, Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t want to spend the next two weeks having to guess when to pull that trigger again. Instead, Facebook and Instagram will lock out the president of the United States until he goes into retirement…

Moments after Joe Biden was certified as President, Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Mike Pence shared a friendly elbow bump.
Having spent four years insisting Russia ‘hacked’ the US election for President Donald Trump, some prominent Democrats are now blaming Moscow for Americans who stormed the US Capitol protesting the 2020 results.
As thousands of Trump supporters gathered in Washington, DC on Wednesday for a ‘Stop the Steal’ rally and Congress met to certify the Electoral College votes that would make Democrat Joe Biden the next US president, a group of protesters stormed the Capitol and interrupted the lawmakers.
A Donald Trump supporter, among those who stormed the US Capitol building, has described the moment a fellow rioter was shot dead.
Wearing a Trump-Pence baseball cap, the protester – who identified himself as Thomas from New Jersey – said the woman had “rushed to the windows” before being shot in the neck.

Quebec to impose ‘electroshock’ curfew for 4 weeks, starting Saturday
Warning that the pandemic in Quebec has again reached a “critical and grave” juncture, Premier François Legault on Wednesday announced a curfew from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. for four weeks, starting on Saturday, to curb the rising number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.
Will Ontario follow suit?
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said today that Canadians are “deeply disturbed and saddened” by the violent actions of Trump supporters in Washington D.C. and that democracy in the United States “must be upheld.”
“Violence will never succeed in overruling the will of the people. Democracy in the U.S. must be upheld — and it will be,” Trudeau said in a social media post this evening.
Earlier tonight, Trudeau told radio listeners tuning in to News 1130 in Vancouver that he was concerned by the violence erupting in Washington D.C. and was watching the “situation minute by minute as it unfolds.”

The FBI is seeking the public’s help identifying the rioters who barged into the Capitol building on Wednesday.
The federal agency said in a statement that it is looking for footage from the chaos that left a trail of destruction and sent lawmakers into lockdown.
I don’t recall them being this gung ho about antifa, and what about that Russia thing?
Public Safety Minister Bill Blair revealed how China steals commercial secrets and technology from Canada and how the communist regime uses covert programs to silence overseas dissent.
In a letter to members of parliament, obtained by Global News, Blair said China is the most robust foreign interference actor in Canada, while Russia and several other countries are behind similar activities.
“Through investigations and monitoring, we continue to identify and shed light on the multiple ways foreign interference manifests itself in Canada, allowing us to be well-armed with the knowledge needed to deploy our tools to counter it,” Blair wrote in the letter.
Pretty sick coming from the CCP lackey LPC.
