I don't think people in the US fully understand how much our government has made us broadly hated in other countries

Some Canadians seem to have forgotten exactly how horrible the Harper years were. A lot of younger Canadians cannot imagine it. Here's a memory. It was this fucken horrible. This "kid" was braver than all of us, every gdamn Canadian, that day. #cdnpoli #Canada #CanadaSky www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Poilievre avoids the media but is happy to sit down with tin-foil-hat wearing critics of the World Economic Forum. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/the-pierre...

This alone should be the end of PP! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The dumbing down begins with a Poilievre government

If u are Canadian PLEASE read this article. It clearly demonstrates how these 6 Poilievre policies will take us backwards into the vortex that is Trump’s USA. Please vote wisely!!!!!! Six Policy Areas Where Poilievre Mirrors Trump via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

I just saw this article by Arlene Dickenson on substack and had to share it here. I firmly agree with everything she says here. Mark Carney was made for this time in our country. #TeamCarney I’m Supporting Mark Carney. Here’s Why: open.substack.com/pub/arlenedi...

WHO ELSE AGREES WITH BARBRA?! 🤚

Ok. In this case you gotta vote Green Party. Elizabeth May losing to a CPC candidate would be a tragic loss for the HoC as a whole. #smartvoting #cdnpoli #elxn45 #bcpoli

Perfect EasterSunday morning along the shores at Killbear with Miss Molly and my better half!

Good article on M Carney. The right person at the right time. Let’s do this!!! torontostarreplica.pressreader.com/article/2814...

Cons will be the death of everything on this planet They are obsessed with killing

Miss Molly and I took a hike into pebble beach this afternoon to clear our minds in this upside down world. Only a few remnants of the winter snow remain near the Big Sound.

My wife and I voted for our liberal candidate @GeordieSabbagh For Parry Sound Muskoka. So did our neighbours! Go #teamcarney

The Debate Commission should consult Federal Court decision where Rebel Media was found to be not engaged in production of original news content & not entitled to ““qualified Canadian journalism organization”” designation. Scared? Get better lawyers. Stand up for democracy.

End poverty and homelessness

Vote! #cdnpoli

Blatant Lie! #cdnpoli

Six years ago today, you put your faith in me and elected me MLA for Edmonton-Highlands-Norwood. Being in this role remains the honour of a lifetime, and I won’t ever take it for granted. I believe more than ever that better is possible. Let’s achieve better, together. Much love, friends. 🧡🧡🧡

This is Pierre Poilievre's record in Parliament. Would you want him as Prime Minister?

Please read this article in today’s National Observer. We must not let PP take us down to the depths that Trump is taking the USA! www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/15/o...

I couldn’t agree more with Max Fawcett , the CBC has never been more important and PP has moved his threats to kill it to the back burner as they are yet another tie to the Trump world! #nationalobserver, #maxfawcett www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/16/o...

Agree🇨🇦

"Criminal defence lawyer Frank Addario: "Poilievre would be “the 1st PM in Canadian history to abandon the Constitution,” & that his proposal sends the message that “political views are more important than the Charter of Rights.” #NeverPoilievre #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Steven Guilbeault 🇨🇦 Thousands of pro-life supporters are actively working to elect pro-life Cons. Poilievre can say whatever he wants — the fact is by allowing these candidates to run & push anti-abortion legislation, he's giving them the platform to roll back women's reproductive rights. #cdnpoli

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

The United States sent possibly innocent men to a foreign prison without a hearing ... and put a convicted felon who led a violent coup against the Constitution in the White House.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

When pinhead Poilievre refers to " The Lost Liberal decade, ".. This is what he must be referring to: Please, Canada, show up to vote. Do NOT vote Conservative. Polling starts April 18th You can also vote now at any returning office. Please make the pledge to vote. #CanadaSky

Trump ignores a unanimous Supreme Court ruling demanding he bring back a person wrongfully sent to and out of country prison and PP announces he will override our courts and constitution. Yet PP says he is not like Trump. I call BS!!!!

Excellent piece on how PP is desperately trying to smear Mark Carney in the last 2 weeks of the campaign - Because nothing else has worked!!! The Conservatives' Last Gambit: Smear Carney via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Reminder as we watch measles rates climb in Canada that *this* is Poilievre's attitude towards vaccination during a public health emergency. MMR vaccination has long been mandated for health care workers. Would a Poilievre govt ban the MMR mandate in health care during a huge measles outbreak?

My friend is a butcher at Your Independent Grocers ( Loblaws) and he was just telling me he cuts up American grade A beef all the time. I guess Loblaws isn't boycotting the U.S. and also, we have a lot of cattle farms in Canada. Why are they buying American beef?

Chantal Herbert has been right all along. #cdnpoli

Trump = stock market manipulation and only the rich win. Never forget.

THIS!!! #NeverTrustPoilievre #NeverTrustConservatives #NeverVoteConservative #cdnpoli 👇

Mark Carney announces he will not cut foreign aid

Tank the market with tariffs so rich people can buy low then “pause” the tariffs and all those people make vast sums of money?

Pierre Poilievre says he'd shut down overdose prevention sites if elected. These sites fall under provincial jurisdiction. Yesterday Health Minister Josie Osborne said, to paraphrase: 'lol you will absolutely not shut these life-saving sites down. Try me.' www.timescolonist.com/local-news/b...

Elections have consequences

Never fails

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

Thanks for the conversations, Nepean. I’m focused on what matters most to you — standing up for Canada, and building a strong economy that serves everyone. #CanadaStrong
