La Presse is citing sources that say if Charest enters the leadership race, Harper will make sure that a "Real Conservative" wins.

So Harper has confirmed he's going to run again if Charest does?

I have it on good authority that Trudeau is a coward and a tyrant because of the Emergencies Act and he is a coward and tyrant because he has rescinded the Emergencies Act. Both these things are absolutely true and if you doubt it in any way you clearly hate freedom. Now excuse me as I visit my hate shrine of Trudeau.

I’ve received text messages from the conservatives for the last couple of federal and provincial elections so they’re obviously sharing information. I’ve never received texts from any of the other parties; either provincial or federal. I’ve never knowingly given my number for anything related to the conservatives so I’m not sure how they got it.

Cops are reviewing Randy Hillier's tweets, according to the Star.

That dude's twitter timeline is a black hole of far right insanity but I guess maybe doxing cops and telling people to disrupt phone lines does get you into some hot water.

Doesn't say he's been charged, just that they're "aware" of his tweets and are "reviewing" them.

That is what all the reporting was saying. Honestly it's one of the best things to come out of the emergency declaration, other than actually freeing the streets of Ottawa from the occupiers. Invoking the Act ensures that there will be a full inquiry. I believe this is also true of the provincial and municipal invocations.

Sounds like they should have a vote to have an integrity investigation into a councillor who didn't recuse themselves from voting due to a conflict of interest. Of course they will vote on that one too because municipal government is apparently a joke.
