In case you were wondering what #PierrePoilievre means when he says he'll take a #CommonSense approach...

Conspiracy-minded Esther McVey was appointed "minister of common sense" by the UK's Conservative PM (not her real title, but the one provided to the Sun newspaper in an advance briefing)

Edited to add: she'll be “leading the charge on the government’s anti-woke agenda” 😬

"If I were running that centre, I would be a millionaire" - #DougFord gives a for-profit clinic more funding to perform OHIP-covered surgeries than it gives #Ontario's public #hospitals to perform the same operations.

The strongman would be nothing without bodies to orchestrate and control.

He needs crowds to acclaim his successes, propagandists and lawyers to cover up his corruption, military and security personnel to fight his domestic and international wars, and mothers to birth all of the above

He needs men to internalize and perform his brand of brutal machismo, and women to serve as trophies and as assets who validate their submission by the system
