I would rather have a more progressive option. But if it's liberals or cons, I'm going to go with the less evil of the two. I really hope we don't end up like America. I hope we can maintain our freedoms. Otherwise, I see no other options than to flee somewhere safer, but I doubt that's practical or even possible.

It's insane that these guys don't get fined into oblivion for such blatant lies. This is far different from regular people saying stupid stuff, but instead an organized effort that paid to have such a message heard.
Noah Alter, a spokesperson for Canada Proud, defends the Carney-Epstein ads, insisting the group never accused the prime minister of participating in Epstein’s crimes, but is instead simply asking questions.
Ah, JAQing off on the public stage 🙄
Stating to be "simply asking questions" has become such a red flag that I immediately assume that anything that person does or says, is most likely misleading, and certainly done in bad faith.
Why are ads like these allowed? This is disgusting to allow as an ad.
Meta and Twitter. They allowed similar stuff in the past for our and the US elections. 🤷🏽♂️
Canada Proud appears to be Poilievre's brand name for spreading lies he can't get away with repeating himself.
conservative meme machine
Seems to grossly and deliberately understate what Canada Proud, Canada Unity, Take Back Alberta, etc. etc. etc. really are.
Take it from an American. Don't ignore this as silly. This will convince an alarming number of ~~idiots~~people.
They just keep repeating lies until people believe them and it works.
One of the problems with being valueless is reaching them with facts and proof is almost pointless, because they can heel toe their way into the next cudgel their favorite political reality-tv identity pivots to.
Being lied to is met with a shrug, so long as it's from their "champion." The fact PP stands where he does today despite a deluge of factual untruths and deep ties to massive conflicts of interest and American media conglomerates is indicative that you're right - we are just as susceptible to Trump's playbook, which is entirely what PP has built his entire campaign thus far around.
It's not just Canada unfortunately. I believe Putin is behind a rightward shift via psyops he is running globally to take down the west. And he's succeeding.

Oh, just asking questions, they should prove themselves the negative of our proof less accusations!
Come on, this still qualifies as defamation in Canada, they should get sued for it.
Maybe someone should do the same for PP. You know, just ask questions.
PP actually has a clean history because he was grown in a conservative party test tube
Haha I love this comment!
Yeah like why no security clearance PP? Afraid his ties to Putin will be exposed i'll wager.
Maybe PP is the one with ties to Epstein. Maybe that's why he's afraid to get clearance.
We are just asking questions - Tucker face
Former Post Millenial writer - shocker.
simply asking questions.
"Sea Lioning"
Completely unsurprising. Someone should check if "Canada Proud" has a pedophile problem.
So is L'il pp gonna fess up about his "alleged" spousal abuse? It's up to him to set the record straight.
He needs to explain the dead hookers I believe are in his trunk
Now is the time to be getting information from Canadian Owned and Operated media.
There will be disinformation campaigns unlike any other election.
usa occupant here. for the love of everything good, please push back on any disinformation like your lives depend on it.
talk to neighbors, carry leaflets with you to bolster valid, verifiable facts - and hand them liberally to anyone misinformed. this is now a matter of national security for canada.
an informed electorate makes informed choices - whatever those choices may be, at least make them from a place of concensus truth. the us has not done this for a long while now.
Aren’t those photos all fake?
How is that not libel?
All no photos and no other documents to support the two knew each other?
