      Oh no… that’s not the last. He’ll then cut taxes for the corporations and the rich. Cut healthcare and government services because he’ll say “we have to balance budget”. Then increase subsidies to corporations to “create jobs”. Conservative scam continues.

        Don’t forget about not actually balancing the until some point where they decide “they have no choice” but to end or sell off a vital federal asset or service.

    When asked whether his government would require porn websites to verify the age of users, Poilievre gave a one-word answer: “Yes.”

    He didn’t offer further explanation, and his office quickly followed up with a clarifying statement asserting that the Tories don’t believe in the imposition of a digital ID.

    Sooooo a pop-up that says “Are you 18 or over? Yes / No”?

    Or will he decide that Yes, digital IDs are something we believe in afterall?

      He’s doing the typical conservative move of saying one thing to reporters and then his office releasing a statement saying another. That way the people who don’t like porn can refer to his answer to the question and those who do can refer to his office’s statement.

    A lot of attention on this and not on the fact Pollievre just said trans women shouldn’t be able to use women’s washrooms and change rooms.
