All federal politicians should have to pass security clearance. In fact, I think people should have to undergo and pass security clearance just to run in an election. Our country's security is of utmost importance, and we need to stop pussy-footing around this issue.

Did you know that Canada imports $392 MILLION just in soups and broths alone from the U.S. Imagine if we bought our soups and broths from Canadian companies. How many jobs would that create. We need to wake up and increase internal trade in Canada. Don't subsidise poor quality but DO try Canada.

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges. When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

Australian PM Anthony Albanese just said Mark Carney invited him to attend the G7 meeting in Canada next month. It will be interesting to see if anything on further Canada-Australia collaboration comes out of it.

Effective Corporate Tax Rates 1950: 50% 2025: 13% Top Marginal Tax Rates 1950: 91% 2025: 37% If you’re curious as to why the rich have so much and you have so little, these are good places to start.

Pierre Poilievre voted against anti-scab legislation EIGHT times and supported C-525 which made union certification more difficult. He is anti-union but needs their votes so suddenly he's "for workers".

Don't trust that the Liberals have the elections locked in as the polls predict. Polls don't count; only votes do! Go vote Carney! Go vote Liberal!

Interesting how Pierre Poilievre wants to force the homeless to jail. He can force people struggling with addiction to treatment. But it's bad form to force them to get vaccinated for public health.

The US FDA has suspended its proficiency testing program for Grade "A" raw milk and finished products. This testing is for bird flu in milk and cheese and pathogens like the parasite Cyclospora in other food products. Read your labels. Another reason not to buy US imports. #buycanadian #shoplocal

Remember the recent Ontario Provincial election where everyone said Ford would lose?? All the progressives said they were angry and going to get out and vote - but they didn't. Conservatives vote, Progressives don't. Please prove me wrong! Progressives TOGETHER can win this election. VOTE

Canadians need to get out and vote! Canada, child care, dental care, OAS, CPP, health care, our military, workers rights, our economy, housing, the CBC, gun control. If any one of these is important to you don’t vote CPC - vote LPC! Mark Carney has a viable plan. The other guy has nothing. 🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦

It’s important that you vote wisely (and strategically if necessary). Beware of the following scenarios: Stay at home: The Conservatives win. Split the vote: The Conservatives win.

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

It was funny in the debate last night when Poilievre tried going after the fact that some LPC cabinet members were staying on. The CPC can barely find 10 MPs that don’t have to be ejected,but yes,I’m so worried about cabinet members like Mélanie Joly who’s eating Trump for breakfast every morning 😂

It fascinates me that giving to charity is considered ‘noble and praiseworthy’… But, creating an economic system that works for EVERYONE and doesn't require charity, is considered socialist and evil. Mind-boggling. 😎✨

Advance polling starts today. They will be open tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday as well. If you can’t vote on Election Day (April 28), be sure to vote in the advance polls. This election is too important to sit out.

Mark Carney, a good Canadian boy goalie. Canadian debate: underscored the sensibility that drummers and goalies are all kinda different in their own way. Goalies are more invested in saves than scoring points. They know the best offense starts with a solid defense. It’s the way winners win.

While PP HAS supported the idea of the disabled not having clawbacks for working longer hours (he thinks all disabled should be able to work), he continuously votes against things like dental care, increases in CPP and OAS, pharmacare and school food (disabled students). Things that help day to day

So PP now says he will restore the power of judges to give people who've committed multiple murders consecutive sentences. It appears he thinks he can overturn a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Germany has proportional voting and they had an 80% voter turnout. Canada still has first past the post so in many areas, conservatives will win because of vote split. THIS TIME, all progressive voters need to vote LIBERAL. That means ALL NDP, GREEN and BLOC MUST vote LIBERAL. THIS TIME ONLY!
