Quel privilège côtoyer des candidats qu’on respecte vraiment. Merci Chrystia, Frank et Karina de faire campagne si positivement ces deux derniers mois. Ensemble, nous avons pu montrer aux Canadiens et Canadiennes que l'avenir de notre parti est ambitieux et que nous sommes prêts à gagner.

It’s a privilege to run alongside people that you really respect. Thank you to Chrystia, Frank, and Karina for running such positive campaigns over these past 2 months. Together, we showed Canadians that the future of our Party is ambitious – and that we are ready to win.

Really glad that we have such a capable new PM in @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social But I hope people remember that it was @chrystia-freeland.bsky.social ’s spine and conscience that brought the liberal party to this place

The premier should not attend this event, let alone speak at it. 🔴Prager is a well-known disinformation outlet. 🔴Shapiro is a well-known bigot. 🔴Florida is at the heart of our trade war with the United States. This is a bad idea.

People who became Premier of Alberta without having a seat in the Legislature: -Danielle Smith -Jim Prentice -Don Getty -William Aberhart -Herbert Greenfield

Mark Carney on Pierre Poilievre: “A person who kneels before the altar of Donald Trump will never stand up to Donald Trump.” 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Mark Carney elected Liberal leader, to soon replace Justin Trudeau as PM www.ctvnews.ca/politics/lib...

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is headlining an event in Florida this month with ghoulish right-wing social media personality Ben Shapiro, who recently tweeted at PM Trudeau that “When we take Canada, you will be expelled to Panama to work the canal.”

The concept that the entire country was founded on the idea of looking south and saying, ‘thanks but no thanks,’ blows the average American’s mind.

It was a very upsetting week. I needed something to cheer myself up and found this buried in my photos library. Enjoy.

If you’re an American living in Canada or otherwise flying an American flag for any reason: take it down. Read the room for God’s sake.

In answer to your question: no, they do not. If we’re forcibly annexed by, there will be a lot of Americans who say: “You’re in now, you can NEVER leave, that would violate the sanctity of of our union. Thanks for helping overthrow the dictator and enjoy being states now. Vote Democrat!

Maybe instead of being a pitchbot for the NYT, you could be the ‘DNC Excusebot.’

I know the Democrats are right about most things, but I have a hard time voting for them because they’re just so cringe.

AAAAHH

After six years in government, the UCP have no real plan to build safer communities. We do. This week we released our our Public Safety Blueprint - an evidence-based plan built on what Albertans have told us they need and investing in our communities. youtu.be/09jKp_Vmjec?... #abpoli

“It is, or at least it should be, a damp stain on our national conscience, and your average outraged Canadian is responding rationally. If anything, it’s the American public that should be taking Trump’s depravity more seriously. We allowed this to happen.”

Canada supports women in the trades! 💪🛠 🇨🇦

it's fascinating that in an age of overwhelming optimism about technology James Cameron foresaw big tech destroying mankind over its need to seek profits from the defense industry but also imagined the big tech founder genius responsible as a fundamentally decent man and loving father

I consulted with several yacht biologists and apparently yachts just do this some times, it may look sad but it's a natural part of their life cycle

Opinion | I wanted to show Democrats how to communicate with working class voters. So I went on the Bill Maher show and made a few jokes about trans people.

Congratulations to Tony Ince on your Senate appointment #NovaScotia www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Opinion | Trump's policies have decimated my business and wiped out a chunk of my retirement savings. But some Teslas were vandalized by far left activists who say that both parties are the same, so I'll be punishing Democrats at the ballot box.

For those of you who don't know, not only is this company 🇨🇦, they're also Nova Scotian, AND founder Tareq Hadhad came here as a refuge from Syria!! @peacebychocolate.bsky.social #HaliSky

Okay so if you spend 4 years campaigning on how “broken” the country is, I guess if you add 12 Canadian flags to every presser, people will forget that you’re too cowardly and unpatriotic to get your security clearance so you can be briefed on foreign security by CSIS during a time of threat?

"The U.S. decision to suspend the flow of military intelligence to Ukraine this week has aided the Russian advance along a critical part of the front, weakening the negotiating position of President Volodymyr Zelensky and killing many Ukrainian soldiers in recent days..." time.com/7265679/sate...

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 Raise your ✋ hand and pass this on if you stand with Ukraine and against Russia!

Time to repost this. Harper visiting the frump White House (sneaking out). 2019.(Trudeau was PM at the time.) Harper is PP’s handler and mentor. Don’t be fooled.. PP is on-board w/ fRump’s policies. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Might save a life.

Tadaa.

This is not a joke anymore and I’m furious. Canada, don’t touch any American product or service. Don’t vote right wing (Conservative) as that party is a cousin of the Republicans; they often even share the same personnel and resources in elections.

David Parker is a threat to our democracy

BREAKING NEWS: Canadian Premier Wab Kinew of Manitoba MOCKS Trump by signing a “beautiful” order that officially removes ALL American liquor from Canadian stores in his province. Donald Trump just caused massive economic damage to our country. How sad and embarrassing.

We’re strongest when we are united.

Reading a lot of comments today about PM Justin Trudeau and how proud his father, former PM Pierre Elliot Trudeau, would have been to see how well his son has carried out his time as PM of Canada, at home and internationally. Took this photo yesterday of PET, painted by 🇨🇦 artist Myfanwy Pavelic.
