I read Vance’s book years ago and enjoyed it. Nova Scotia’s coal mining history would interest the JD Vance that wrote Hillbilly Elegy. It’s a shame to see him so far off couse.

Our first episode of The Numbers of this campaign! We'll have new episodes out every Monday and Thursday, with a bonus episode on Saturday for our Patreon members. Today, we discuss how solid Carney's polls are and the kind of trouble the NDP finds itself in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBGL...

Something new for this campaign: The Writ Show! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NoI...

Quite a thing to watch @338canada.bsky.social these days. What a dramatic shift in short window of time. Also, you should support 338 and The Writ ( ericgrenier.bsky.social )! #cdnpoli

Just chart tells us everything you need to know about the change in public opinion in #cdnpoli It's like when Carney took office, public opinion just reset. Tough for the Conservatives to litigate the past when this is the new view.

Big news day, and it's only 10:00am. #cdnpoli

"I have the names of a number of parliamentarians, former parliamentarians and/or candidates in the Conservative Party of Canada who are engaged, or at high risk of, or for whom there is clear intelligence around foreign interference." - PM Trudeau, October 2024 #cdnpoli

Working on a paper, drinking pots of JustUs Coffee and listening to CBC Radio 2, while a sensible Liberal team is out there leading in the polls. It’s a good day. ☀️🇨🇦 #canada #cdnpoli

Abacus with the first Nova Scotia-specific federal election polling. abacusdata.ca/nova-scotia-...

Let’s set the record straight on CBC executive pay. Some critics want you to believe CBC execs are raking it in—but here’s the truth: 🔍 CBC salaries are public and modest. Sources in the comments.

Canada is everything.

Representing a wide range of denominations, The World Council of Churches said it had become “increasingly clear that advocacy alone is insufficient” as CO2 emissions continued to rise, driven mainly by the 'relentless expansion' of fossil fuel industries." via @theguardian.com

Danielle Smith saying out loud that she told the Trump administration to put tariffs on hold to help Pierre Poilievre win the election. Conservatives are collaborating with an administration that wants to break 🇨🇦. This election could not be more important. Join #TeamCarney. liberal.ca/get-involved/

That’s what we did in just nine days. Let’s keep building, together.

Canadian Conservatives are desperate for Donald Trump to come to their rescue. One of Canada’s most prominent conservative leaders asked Trump’s government to interfere, Stephen Maher writes. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... Find out more at nationalnewswatch.com

As we watch Trump's attack on universities, remember that Poilievre promises to appoint a "Free Speech Guardian" for universities. A university could lose its federal funding if this politically appointed "guardian" recommends it.

There is a famous story in my family about my little brother throwing a toddler tantrum and when he was finally given what he wanted, so caught up in the meltdown, he shouted “I don’t want what I want!” That’s exactly what the Tories sound like right now. #cdnpoli #torytantrum

Here we go!!! Day 1 in Canada with our new Prime Minister, Mark Carney. Gotta say... I have a good feeling. A feeling that the right person has stepped to the helm at the right time in history. Fingers crossed. Elbows up. 🇨🇦

Sure wish @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social would take to this platform! #savecbc #cdnpoli #publicbroadcasting @savethecbc.bsky.social

The person advising PP on comms needs to stop. Stating that Carney is a sneaky man who is trying to trick us reeks of desperation. Literally conspiracy theory land. Why not make the case for why you’d be a good PM, Pierre? Remember that? Pierre for PM? We don’t see that anymore. 🧐 #cdnpoli

It’s a good day. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

Sunny and cold in the hub of #NovaScotia today. Julie is playing great music on the 2, #coffee is rolling, and I’m reading #Canadian history. Good day. ☀️ 🇨🇦 #cbcradio #amreading #publicbroadcasting
