April 12, 1876: The Indian Act was passed by the Canadian government.

Just a reminder, When Harper was PM and needed help and guidance he never asked Pierre for help... He asked Mark Carney.

Pierre on vaccines and saving the lives of children. He joins American nutters in commuting to “abolish vaccine mandates”. This is criminal.

Pierre Poilievre doesn’t talk about men’s biological clocks, sperm counts, or prostate health—because that would be invasive and absurd. So why is it acceptable for him to comment on women’s reproductive timelines? It’s not policy. It’s not leadership. It’s misogyny. #NeverPoiLIEvre

Pierre Poilievre remembers to smile

It’s time to make Canada the world’s leading energy superpower — to reduce our reliance on other countries, fight for Canadian jobs, and defend our economic sovereignty.

corporate American media will avoid this like the black plague this is something you wouldnt understand unless your Canadian! Its who we are!🇨🇦🍺🇨🇦

I laugh at people who think Pierre Poilievre would do a better job of handling Canada’s economy. He’s running against an accomplished economist with a PhD from Oxford.

On this day in 1892, Mary Pickford was born in Toronto. While she was called America's Sweetheart, she remained proudly Canadian throughout her life. This is the story of the Girl with the Curls! Listen to my episode on her here 👇 megaphone.link/CORU1505975039 🧵1/18

FACT CHECK: Canada Proud is run by Jeff Ballingall. These aren’t grassroots movements — they’re well-funded propaganda pipelines built to smear opponents and flood your feed with rage bait and falsehoods. They’re part of the same operation Poilievre’s team has brought on to run digital comms.

Rand Paul: "We have to start from talking about the truth. One of the things they say with Canada is, 'Oh, there's a 270% tariffs on dairy products going from the US into Canada.' Well you know what the real tariffs is? Zero. That's a big difference between what the truth is."

Almost twice as many people do.

PP is lying. Bill C-69 is not an anti-pipeline law. It ensures that studies and consultations are done with affected stakeholders. vm.tiktok.com/ZMBCbrPHs/

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

PP refused to help a terminally ill senior. His government (Harper government) raised the retirement age to 67. PM Trudeau lowered it back to 65. youtu.be/ymxgVa4g7EU?... vm.tiktok.com/ZMBCRrx88/

Stephen Harper tried to bribe a dying MP. vm.tiktok.com/ZMBCb7ReB/

After Trump and Trumpism are consigned to the dust bin of history, we will need to spend a long time earning back the trust and friendship of our allies.

At this point, I'd support FIFA taking away World Cup from the 3 host nations and playing it in Europe, instead. Canada & México would be collateral damage, but tbf, neither country wants to be associated w/ the US anymore, anyway. #ElbowsUp #FIFA #WorldCup2026 #CanMNT #eltrieng #USMNT #cdnpoli

Mark Carney’s Liberals are committed to protecting Canada’s national identity by strengthening CBC/Radio-Canada. 🇨🇦 We will protect Canadian stories and voices. Let’s keep Canada strong! 🔗More info: bit.ly/4i6xlEB #CanadaStrong

The Prime Minister sometimes stumbles in French. So what. Canadians didn’t mind when Jean Chrétien stumbled in English.

Way to go Air Canada!

Newsflash, he doesn't give a shit about you or me.

CBC reporting CPC staffers are screening reporter questions before they choose who asks Poilievre. He already won't take follow ups, won't let the travel with the campaign, now they selecting the topics journalists can ask. This is outrageous, further proof his ideas can't take scrutiny. #cdnpoli

For what it's worth, I find Poilievre's accusations that Mark Carney is "beholden" to China absurd. He was chair of Brookfield, a Canadian multinational RE investment firm with holdings around the world including China. He quit Brookfield to run for the Liberal leadership. #canpoli

PM Mark Carney has announced Canada’s response to the latest U.S. tariffs—taking strong action to protect Canadian workers and businesses. Canada is stepping up—building a stronger, more competitive economy. 🔗 Press Release here: bit.ly/42bXV9f #CanadaStrong
