This is why Russia mustn’t be rewarded in any form in a “peace” agreement.

Totally unacceptable

The kind of headline that has completely flipped the national mood in Canada

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

British Columbians are doing their best to buy BC when they can and they expect the government to do the same. Now is the time to continue to support Canadian jobs, find new markets and develop strong ties with countries that aren’t threatening us.

“I’ll be blunt: after 80 long years, we need to bring back conscription — and fast. “But I’m not in love with the idea.” @crof.bsky.social writes.

Nathalie Provost survived the Polytechnique massacre — and has spent every day since fighting to strengthen gun control. She knows: guns designed to kill people don’t belong on our streets.

NEW - Premier David Eby is sending a directive to provincial departments to cancel trips to the United States, to cancel subscriptions to US publications and to look to cancel contracts, when possible, for procurement from the US. #bcpoli

Literally the thought police.

Carney averages 10 questions a day on the trail, Poilievre 4. What is even more disqualifying, the CPC SCREEN who can ask and the topic. Cons drone on and on about all the sound policy, yet they're afraid to defend it. If you can't handle CBC, you can't handle a superpower. Period. #cdnpoli

. America. 🇺🇸 where a Black kid gets 10 years for weed but a convicted felon gets the nuclear codes. Rich in cash, bankrupt in character. #America .

After attempting to attend a local candidate’s campaign stop but being told it was closed to media, @amandafollett.bsky.social reached out to other reporters to ask what they would have asked - if they could #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/News/2025/04...

‘Sound’ (loud sound), ‘sound’ (safe and sound), and ‘sound’ (water) are not related. ‘Sound’ (loud) comes from Latin ‘sonus.’ ‘Sound’ (safe and) comes from Old English ‘gesund,’ meaning "healthy." ‘Sound’ (water) comes from Old Norse ‘sund,’ meaning “strait."

Word of the day is ‘foozle’, from the 19th century: of a golfer, to bungle a shot. More generally, to make a complete mess of something.

Traditionally the Conservatives have not participated, which is such a shame. But I kinda want to see the research Narwuar did for Poilievre. Is there some way to make that happen?? Maybe a cardboard cutout could stand in 👀

It’s not a campaign visit to Vancouver without a Hip Flip. Thanks for the records and the trip down memory lane, @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social. youtu.be/TZmh_PNMImE?...

Loved ‘em to death, in at least 6,000,000 cases.

As the federal election campaign unfolds, a concerning pattern is emerging in Western Canada: some high-profile conservatives retreating from national coalition-building in favour of grievance politics. @drjaredwesley.bsky.social writes.
