In Canada, the AdF found a warm reception with CPC Members of Parliament.

“The AfD shop in anti-Islamic, anti-semitic, anti-immigration, Holocaust denying politics.

Despite this, three CPC MPs, Colin Carrie, Dean Allison and Leslyn Lewis, who has run twice for the CPC leadership, met with Anderson last week. They were photographed together and even sat down together for a meal.”

Allison and Lewis were re-elected. Carrie did not run.

“Poilievre ordered his MPs to vote against support for Ukraine’,” Angus wrote on X. “Now one of his front bench MPs is leading the fight to pull Canada out of the UN. The Conservatives are not playing to the conspiracy base. They are the conspiracy base.”

Leslyn Lewis ran twice for CPC leader, now re-elected as MP.

The rot runs deep through the CPC. The work we have to do in #Canada did not end with the election. Roll up your sleeves, my friends, it’s time to dig in.
