Given we now know that in addition to his many other failings (professional and otherwise) #JordanPeterson also betrayed his country for money from Russia, the image needed an update. #RussianStooge should be understood as synonymous with "traitor"

(And for the record: #DanielleSmith's 'Useful Idiot' label should be understood as the "at best" scenario. Who knows what further investigation will reveal? Ditto for convicted fraudster #ConradBlack)

Anyone who lets up the pressure on this critical issue of Canadian sovereignty is highly suspect too, imo.

@TheGentYYC I think this election call is more about getting a majority that will outlast any potential win by the Federal Conservatives next year. Either so they aren’t tarred with the same brush when PP works his ‘magic’ or to be in a position to carry out aplan to privatize healthcare that won’t get federal pushback from PP.
