So we voted today. It was quick. My wife was impressed with the whole process compared to what she's experienced her whole life in the US. A testament to what Elections Canada does. We were in & out in about 10 min in a busy polling station. Take the time & vote! It matters!

Misinformation is already circulating about missing voter cards, so PSA, you don't need one. If you're a Canadian citizen and 18+, take your photo ID (license, passport...) to a polling station in your area and they'll help you with the rest. Go vote! #cdnpoli #vote www.elections.ca/scripts/vis/...

Excellent research into the misinformation swirling about by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social I find it disheartening, however, that there is a lack of basic journalistic skills by well known papers like the G&M. I expect lack of fact checking in social media but regular media??

I cannot believe this happened. When I first joined bsky, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social was one of the first CDNs I came across that provided excellent & well-researched insight into politics. @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social should be ashamed at bowing down to those that promote disinformation. #Canada

youtu.be/HdPiBNiedQg Incredibly disappointing move by CTV. We need more fact-checking not less at this time #cdnpoli #Canada @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social @ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social @ctvnewskitchener.bsky.social

Very important side issue going on as part of the election. Take a listen & follow the @savethecbc.bsky.social #Canada #cdnpoli

Now that's interesting. Still ain't gonna buy American if they manage to reverse the tariffs. #canada #cdnpoli

Ok. Creepy. www.wired.com/story/natal-...

Am I the only one who would have loved to be have been a fly on the wall listening to Carney vs Trump call?? #Canada #cdnpoli

At a press conference on Wednesday, Winnipeg police confirmed the identity of Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe to be Ashlee Shingoose. Ashlee’s father Albert Shingoose had one request for Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew: sing a song.

BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHA... *inhale air* ... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA..

We should be doing this actively. If the US isn't interested in their knowledge & innovation they would bring to the US, we can certainly use them up here. #Canada #cdnpoli

On Wednesday, I interviewed @dantheeditor.bsky.social, an author, retired journalist, and one of the 120 contributors to Get Fact, a newsletter and platform working to fight dis/misinformation. You can read that interview here. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-...

🚨 What if Trump made Canada the 51st state? Say goodbye to universal health care. This election, vote like your life depends on it. 👉 www.healthcoalition.ca/vote-health-... #VoteHealthCare #Elxn45 #Cdnpoli

These are actually great ideas. Many of these ideas would help the economy & the average person (not necessarily the wealthy). #Canada #cdnpoli

I just can't.. wow. 😵‍💫 & she represents Americans?? They truly want to be fully isolated from the rest of the world, eh?

So, a Warcraft guildie friend of mine has decided to quit his job & start his own art shop on Etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/Artivis...). He has some great works there with a Puerto Rico twist on them. Definitely check them out!

The leaders of all of the federal parties in Canada accidentally added me to their group chat

J'avoue que mon français est horrible (mon nom acadien n'aide pas) mais je suis déçu que @mark-carney.bsky.social se retire des débats français. #canada #francophones ça vous dérange ?

So here's an example of an account I'd mute or block. It's a bot. No verification of what they repeat. & why would I go to the cesspool called X?!?! #canada #cdnpoli #novascotia #nspoli

This is actually superb. It highlights companies that are wholly Canadian owned vs US parents. #Canada
