Poilievre burned $11M in expenses — double Trudeau — while crying about CBC costs. Now he wants to kill CBC and drag Canada into MAGA-style chaos. Save the CBC. Vote strategically. Keep the cons out of Ottawa. #SaveTheCBC

Me trying to have a positive attitude

Happy 44th Birthday to Hayden Christensen 🎂

Totally normal. Nothing to see here. Just standing in place, cleaning the hamsters. #spoonie #dysautonomia

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world. Don't let him be forgotten.

🚨 "The "news" organizations that took over the French debate scrum, asked all manner of far-right propaganda, and became a security threat that forced the cancellation of the second scrum... Pierre wants to fund them all.. They're his people" @HenriAGS pressprogress.ca/pierre-poili...

What happened in the media gallery last night at the English debate is 100% election interference. All so Pierre could duck out the back and NOT face the media! The last thing PP wanted was to be fact checked after the debate! #cdnpoli

If you’re in Canada, check out smartvoting.ca before you vote. It helps you vote strategically in your riding to stop a CPC win by avoiding vote-splitting on the left. Vote with your heart → Liberals: 195 | CPC: 118 Vote smart → Liberals: 218 | CPC: 88 PLEASE REPOST THIS WE ALL NEED TO KNOW THIS!

Rebel News founder, Ezra Levant ran for office in 2002. His campaign spokesperson was Pierre Poilievre. #Election #CanPoli

If I may, a few basic thoughts thread on the debates and platforms. No particular order. Taxes PP claimed Canadians are paying more in taxes since the Liberals took office. Other than the neutral carbon levy, taxes have gone down for most people. Liberals also added benefits etc for many. 1/?

Undecided Canadians who are considering voting for Pierre Poilievre because they want "change" should read this - the numerous reasons why the Harper/Poilievre Conservatives were voted out. #cdnpoli policyalternatives.ca/wp-content/u...

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

ANOTHER Rebel News question? This is a farce! #DebatDesChefs

How the hell are these RW misinformation machines getting all these question opportunities? And why? What a load of BS and a waste of an opportunity for legitimate questions about legitimate issues. Do better tomorrow, CBC. #canpoli #cdnpoli

When the nazis wanted to roll out their “euthanasia” program, they weren’t sure how to go about it. Until they tried it with one disabled baby & nobody seemed to care. The lack of pushback was the green light they needed & in a short time, they had killed hundreds of thousands of disabled Germans.

Pay no heed to piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s pusillanimous push to reframe the ballot issue away from Trump. Here’s Trump’s mouthpiece cheerily assuring OUR CBC yesterday from the White House that he’s as committed to 51st statehood as ever. #ElbowsUp🇨🇦 Prime Minister Mark Carney for Canada🇨🇦😠🇨🇦

I…I sold a book! Someone out there bought a copy of Ride Every Stride! Thank you, anonymous someone, for my first Amazon and fourth overall sale of the year. And thank you for supporting a Canadian author who wrote Canadian content. 🤩🥳 #booksky #horses

@samsmithsky.bsky.social @kimrhodes.bsky.social Daughter of Smoke and Bone has been on my TBR since 1 or both of you once mentioned it as a favourite. A debt of gratitude is now owed. This beautiful, magical book ended my months-long reading slump. I read it in 1.5days & have started book 2. Thanks!

Dear American syringomyelia, dysautonomia, and pain doctors and specialists: Please move to Ontario. I need you. Let me be your first patient. Please. If you could collaborate, that would be even better. I’m desperate for competent care.

This is one of the many reasons CONS in Canada want power - they want to remove this section of the Charter Any abortion law would violate Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms, which protects the life, liberty, and security of a person. #CONSAreLyingToYou /1 (thread)

Hot flashes suck. That’s all I have to say right now. #perimenopause

O’ Canada! I added a maple leaf to my author logo to demonstrate my Canadian pride. #booksky

If elected, Poilievre’s government will “put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and federal funds for university research.” The phrase is almost identical to wording used by the Trump administration. Catharine Winstanley and @liisagalea.bsky.social write.

By Evan Dyer CBC. This is highly problematic.

I’m obsessed with The Bondsman! It’s so good!

I’m comfort-bingeing Three’s Company, one of my favourite shows growing up in the 80s. John Ritter was one of my first crushes and I was devastated when he died. He was a comedic genius. I remain convinced to this day that Jack and Janet should have ended up together. Anyone agree? #tv #classictv

My brain too. Except it’s mostly stuck on the left-to-right message for the past few months. #spoonie #chronicpain
