On this day in 1945, Leo Major liberated the city of Zwolle in the Netherlands. Known as the "one-eyed ghost" he was one of only three soldiers in the British Commonwealth to receive the Distinguished Conduct Medal twice in separate wars. This is his badass story! 🧵1/12

This is the BS 🤬 that Liberal Leader Mark Carney is dealing with from the other party leaders, every time he has to revert to caretaker and be Prime Minister re trade war, stating he is in hiding, ffs pound sand Poilievre. #Canada #cdnpoli #FederalElection www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

An important, if disturbing, article on how young men are flocking to the Conservatives. They hate “woke,” feel disenfranchised, and that all decks are stacked against them. Of course, the right panders to and inflames their disaffection. What can we do about it? www.cbc.ca/news/investi...

In the midst of proclaiming #ElbowsUp and #CanadaStrong we do have Canadians that are antichoice, anti science, antivax, antidemocratic (add more anti stuff - there’s more). Even though we all love Canada, for the policies we support, it’s us against them. Don’t let them win. #Vote #Carney

“We were not aware of, nor did we endorse, that proposed action. That is not a standard practice our office typically encounters in the course of its work.” That leaked AH memo sure has the auditor general fired up! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/news/braid-g...

Hmm, would Poilievre or Carney do this? If feds really want to support small farms, change the repairs regs, so manufacturers not offering parts must sell "a downloadable schematic so a replacement part can be quickly manufactured by machining or 3D printing." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #CdnPoli

Dr. Gunter is correct. All Conservative MPs are antichoice. All Liberals, regardless of their personal views, agree to vote prochoice on all bills. Our choice couldn’t be more clear. www.arcc-cdac.ca/media/anti-c... #Vote #Carney

The UCP has stood in the Legislature and repeatedly stated they are "doing everything" in their power to comply with the Auditor General’s investigation.    Then, they turned around and issued a gag order. What is the UCP trying so hard to cover up? #CorruptCare

Danielle Smith - "We don't need a public inquiry into "Corrupt Care"! I promise maximum transparency! The Auditor General will get access to everything! No secrets!" Also Smith - "Absolutely no one is to speak to the Auditor General" #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Who is the client? As in, attorney client privilege extends to whom? I wouldn’t trust AHS or Health under current management, as named in allegations, saying they hired legal representation for me. If it was the GoA generally, I might feel different. I’d ask questions first. #ableg #ahs

I won’t trust polls because a week is an eternity is politics and Poilievere is big on making up stuff against Prime Minister Carney. Please speak up to correct the inaccuracy that Carney is responsible for the tariffs. Don’t let him win with lies. #VoteCarney www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Todays open media scrum in Brampton, a National Post reporter 🙄 asked Carney if he'd commit to recognizing the results of the election. He laughed and said "Of course! Ok,this is Canada. I know certain parties import all their slogans and policies from America, but let's not import that nonsense." 👏

Conservative politicians ie:Danielle Smith entertaining Trump officials in Ottawa for Canada Strong & free conference. This does not seem appropriate at this time. Preston Manning started this organization to promote Western separation from Canada. No media allowed inside. What are they hiding?

Unsurprisingly, PP can't define what "woke" science is, but nonetheless he's ready to defund research. Just pathetically low-effort, dog-whistle politics. PP can't give an example or even use a word other than "woke" because its lack of real meaning is The Point. www.science.org/content/arti...

We great to see Mark Carney in Calgary the last couple of days - including two events in Confederation. The pollsters and the pundits agree - this riding is going to be closely contested between the Liberals and Conservatives - if you vote, volunteer, and spread the word, we can win this.
