Trump, on the leader of Russia: "Putin is tired of this whole thing and he’s not — he’s not looking good. And he wants to look good” It's hard to imagine a more fundamental misunderstanding. No, Putin is not "tired of the whole thing" - the war is the only thing keeping his economy going

Anyone advocating for Alberta separation from Canada, especially Danielle Smith and Alberta legislature, should pack their bags and renounce their citizenship. They can leave but the land will stay. The land belongs to First Nations and the treaties are with the Crown. #cdnpoli #AlbertaSeparation

This new Texas law copies anti-Jewish legislation in pre-war Nazi Germany. That legislation consisted of a series of restrictive laws passed in 1933, then the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. This is not an exaggeration.

To complete the rebuttal to idiot child Lindsay Shepherd, in Byward Market today we had coffee in the morning, sandwich lunch at noon, and just now back from a delicious pizza dinner. Didn’t get stabbed or shot once. Nobody even stared or licked his teeth at us. Vivid imagination, that Lindsay. 🍁🤭🍁

Every single Albertan I know is queer, feminist, a person of colour or all three. It's so easy to write off Alberta as the shitty part of Canada and that they get the government they deserve but that attitude makes us no better than separatists.

Legitimate question: Does PP get to stay in Stornoway even if he's lost his seat? Maybe one of his rental properties would suffice instead of we as taxpayers continuing to fit the bill for this loser. #cdnpoli #ByeByePoilievre

Amazon caved in record time. The White House attacked Amazon this morning, and now Amazon is saying that they “never intended” on displaying the tariff surcharge on prices. Cowards of the highest order.

Fun bit of history ... Pierre Poilievre & Jenni Byrne hold Stockwell Day's grandchild to pose as an Alberta family in an ad to nominate Ezra Levant "for the Canadian Alliance in Calgary Southwest in CBC footage from 2002". Levant stepped aside to allow Stephen Harper to run in the riding. #cdnpoli

If you want change, vote for Carney’s Liberals. Poilievre has been there for 21 years, and his Cons governed for a decade previously. Carney was busy saving the world twice while Poilievre was voting against gay marriage and insulting Indigenous people.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court took on the "don't say gay" case. The GOP court is likely to rule that LGBTQ books can be barred from classes. That sucks, but what struck me was how ultimately futile the MAGA cause is. An analysis. www.salon.com/2025/04/23/t...

Beyond catastrophic human rights implications, this approach reveals a fundamental incapacity to operate within constitutional parameters. Bypassing due process is not strategy - it’s a collapse of legal responsibility, akin to resolving gridlock by abolishing roads. It’s just lazy and dumb

Poilievre is talking about wanting to use the notwithstanding clause to keep people in jail longer. Carney responds by saying the Charter “exists to protect Canadians from people like us, on this stage.” I feel like that answer hits harder in the age of Trump.

I just watched like 2 mins of this debate and it was Carney asking about PP getting his security clearance and PPs body language during the question was so uncomfortable and the opening of his answer was so fumbling. Incredible. This legit rattles him.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

Very stupid letter in today’s @theglobeandmail.com from Dr. Jeffrey Green in St. Thomas, Ontario. Maybe not born yet when the Charter was adopted with the express purpose of placing our fundamental rights and freedoms beyond the grasp of pandering politicians in all but the most extreme cases? 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼
