There's no billionaire that Pierre Poilievre will ever stand up to. It's been 20 days since Poilievre refused to reject Elon Musk's endorsement. This is what he's condoning.

Trump supporters continue to back him after his claims of election fraud in 2020 were disproven potentially because of a deep psychological bond with the president, known as “identity fusion”, shaping their beliefs and bolstering their loyalty, even as new criminal charges emerged.

‘Conspiracy Theory’ Is Now Fact: Greater Israel Has Arrived - PopularResistance.Org
‘Conspiracy Theory’ Is Now Fact: Greater Israel Has Arrived - PopularResistance.Org
Ever since Tel Aviv’s 1948 creation, much has been said and written about ‘Greater Israel’ – the notion Zionism’s ultimate end goal is the forcible annexation and ethnic cleansing of vast swaths of Arab lands for Jewish settlement, based on Biblical claims that this territory was promised to Jews by God. The media typically dismisses this concept as an antisemitic conspiracy theory or, at most, the fringe fantasy of a minuscule handful of Israelis. In reality, as The Guardian admitted in 2009, the idea of a Greater Israel has long appealed to “religious and secular right-wing nationalists” alike in Tel Aviv.
