Listened to a very interesting #CanPol podcast episode today, Beyond a Ballot's interview with #JenniByrne : https://open.spotify.com/episode/2zkPjjEYfJOxKhIhuxSMjo?si=jWULaZMHQ4CEVM5KYYYRjw

There were things that could have been done better, but Conservatives should thank #JenniByrne and the team.

Turns out the whole time that #Loblaws & inheritance billionaire #GalenWeston were raking in record profits by gouging Canadians & #Poilievre was dishonestly blaming Trudeau every time he opened his mouth, his CHIEF POLICY ADVISOR #JenniByrne WAS A LOBLAWS LOBBYIST. #cdnpoli
