Danielle Smith told U.S. officials to "put things on pause" until after Canada’s federal election — Interfering with foreign policy to sway an election crosses a serious line. Calling for a pause on tariffs to politically benefit one party isn't the right approach. But standing firm for Canada is.

Hot take: Tim Walz' folksy demeanour and relatability are key ingredients to winning today's politics He's basically Minnesota's Doug Ford, but kind and smart. Kinda shows why Ford has captured ON's shallow-thinking majority Here he is filling a town hall in a R district: apnews.com/article/iowa...

"It turns out that no amount of bureaucracy, bickering or political division can slow Canada down when under threat. So what are Ontario’s municipal governments doing to assist in the economic war effort? Sadly, not much — especially when it comes to housing." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

"The monthly cost of social housing is $613. This is starkly lower than $2,100 for a shelter bed, $4,300 for a correctional facility bed, or $13,500 for a hospital bed. Housing people is not only a moral imperative but also an economically sound decision."

If Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party hadn't abandoned their electoral reform promise, we can guarantee that would be #1 on this list. What an amazing legacy that would have been. #cdnpoli

As a proud Canadian-owned and operated company, we want to do our part to support Canadians. As a family we have decided to absorb all immediate increases in our costs due to the Trump-tariffs for the rest of the year to maintain our prices. We will continue to reinforce our Canadian-first policies.

What’s more chilling than Trump’s presidency? The fact that we use the same system that just handed him total control. First-past-the-post fuels a hyper-partisan two-party system. If we want to protect democracy in Canada, we need proportional representation. #cdnpoli

So frustrating to see Ontario Conservatives winning so many ridings with under 1% margins. I don't think anyone should donate to the Ontario Greens, NDP or Liberals until they agree to cooperate to get electoral reform passed. What's the point of giving them our money if they don't aim to win?

This one sparks joy. Every seat matters. Let's force the parties to act like it and work together next time.

Another ridiculous first-past-the-post outcome Party that did not win the popular vote will have far more seats than proportional its vote share, and it will form a MAJORITY government FPTP will usher in far-right governments unless parties cooperate to make pro-rep a reality @fairvote.ca #onpoli
