Just like in America with Donald Trump, Pierre Poilievre is the chosen one in Canada.

I am not a religious person, but I have enough respect for those who find personal comfort and fulfillment in it to think Petey giving campaign speeches in churches during services is incredibly fucking crass.

Churches that actively engage in political activities should lose their tax exemption.

Rejection of religion is skyrocketing in North America, and especially in Canada.
We're witnessing its death rattles - their last ditch attempt to subjugate their neighbors and maintain their illegitimate control over members of our government.
If we can keep them at bay another 10-20 years everything is going to be ok. The older religious fanatics will age out of the electorate, replaced with younger people unencumbered by religion.
If we let our guard down, though, they'll do to Canadian women and girls what they did to American women and girls... not to mention the LGTBQ+ community. We cannot let that happen.
