Things that make you say "hmmm....." -- a Poilievre action doll, the BR-C ballot, our Purrr Minister, the grandiose White House, plus other odds and sods

Maybe Poilievre is just an action figure doll now? 

I don't know who did this, but isn't it great?

The advance polls are open in Battle River-Crowfoot. As this video shows, its quite a ballot. And now I wonder how badly mis-spelled "Pierre Poilievre" needs to be before the election workers will refuse to count a ballot?

A record 214 candidates, including Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, are running in the Aug. 18 federal byelection in Alberta's Battle River-Crowfoot. Voters at advance polls had the chance to flip through a thick booklet of candidates to make sure they spelled the names right 👇🏻 #cdnpoli

Moving on -- this is sorta weird:

I feel Pierre Poilievre may be causing confusion among some voters in Camrose, Alberta by campaigning for his byelection in a car with a different candidate’s name on it?

And Poilievre STILL doesn't have his security clearance. And yes, its STILL an issue:

You probably won’t be shocked to hear that after losing his seat in the Canadian election & barely putting any effort into his safe seat “campaign” in Alberta that he needs, Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to complete the normal security check and try to get the standard, ordinary security clearance.

Some years ago, I needed a background check so I could volunteer for a 1 day project at my grandson's elementary school! But Poilievre remains leader of the opposition without one! Surely it should be a requirement for all MP's!!!

Bye bye Byrne!

Katie Simpson (CBC) is on a roll. Finally a critical look at Byrne, Poilievre & the CPC. DeLorey: the CPC haven't investigated why they lost the election & are setting themselves up for failure. MacEachern: no one is calling out the CPC on their lies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4fI...

From Nico, the Purrr Minister:

“Even his cat looks more educated than Poilievre” it’s not like that’s hard at all—but anyway, to focus on the important thing here 🐱 This cat gives no phucks

And this actually is funny:

I actually have an MA and PhD in architectural history.

The first two photos show the detailing at Amalienburg, a German hunting lodge done in Rococo style. Note the level of detailing.

The third photo shows the Oval Office, which is done in the traditional Cadbury bunny style. https://t.co/yXNijx6EF2 pic.twitter.com/5n3lSNJq0H
