I just signed a petition started by a North Island community member, calling on Pierre Poilievre to remove Aaron Gunn as a candidate in the federal election. Will you join me here: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/pi... you.leadnow.ca/petitions/pi...

Did’ya notice how, at his press conference today, Prime Minister Carney treated the media with respect and occasional flashes of good humour? No chomping on apples, no answering questions with questions, no attempts to humiliate the questioner, no impugning of the media organisation asking? 🍁🍁🍁

With all the hullabaloo going on I missed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's latest social media post. Here it is:

I’m a recent doctor transplant from the U.S. to Canada. The decline of medical ethics in the U.S. has devastated young American physicians who still believe medicine should help people. Now’s an ideal time to recruit them to Canada. Let’s go! 🇨🇦 @canadahealthwatch.bsky.social

Her Machiavellian move was pretty bad.

"A man who worships at the alter of Donald Trump, will kneel before him". Mark Carney speaking about Pierre Poilievre. Pierre Poilievre, this man has you pegged, more than any John, Dick, or Harry ever has before. 🤏

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

How Harvey's is Canadian: Ingredients: Harvey's uses 100% Canadian beef, dairy, and potatoes. Support: Harvey's supports Canadian beef farming families. History: Harvey's is one of Canada's longest-standing Canadian-owned restaurants. Values: Harvey's is committed to serving Canadians.

Getting awful tired of seeing PMJT being called a lame duck. He's got more done since he announced he was stepping down than in the last years of the HoC being hobbled by silly games. I don't know what the right term is for someone going out in a blaze of glory, but there's nothing lame about it.

From today’s Times (UK). I thought my followers might be interested in this.

“CANADA IS NOT FOR SALE,” says Doug Ford’s baseball cap. But Ontario? Absolutely. Doug is carving it up like a Christmas turkey. #ONelxn

Justin Trudeau's Party has made a remarkable turnaround in the polls and is now on track to win the Canadian election. With the new leader of the Liberal Party and future Prime Minister Mark Carney, this country is in good hands. #cdnpoli #onpoli #peipoli

Chantal Hebert says that when people criticize Mark Carney's French, Quebecers are there defending it and him. There's something happening here. #cdnpoli #peipoli #MarkCarneyForPM

Fantastic speech by our future Prime Minister, Mark Carney. I'm incredibly excited for him to take office. We'll be in good hands. Please watch and share! Speech starts at 2:00 #Cdnpoli #TeamCarney #Liberal #LPC #onpoli www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

Most people don't know that Elon Musk endorsed Pierre Poilievre for Prime Minister. That's the Kiss of Death. Musk’s approval of Poilievre good for Conservatives, but may not sit well for others, say pollsters and strategists www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

For @nationalobserver.com, I write that Doug Ford's long love of Donald Trump and support of Elon Musk tells us everything we need to know about his terrible, no-good, lousy judgment. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/05/o...

Stop shilly-shallying around, you blockhead, as Lucy used to say to Charlie Brown. Buy 🍁Canadian!https://youtube.com/shorts/6VVlI8PIBSU?feature=shared
