Former Toronto mayoral candidate Xiao-Hua Gong runs for parliament. Lots of signs! #topoli #cdnpoli

Based on my informal survey of campaign signs, I think that independent candidate Xiao-Hua Gong (or Gong Xiao-Hua) is going to win a massive majority of votes in Don Valley North! The Liberal is nowhere to be found. Mr. Gong is flooring the Conservative candidate while the NDP candidate just stands.

Pierre Poilievre complains that Mark Carney is hiding today, that Mark Carney won't answer questions. Meanwhile, Pierre Poilievre answers only four softball questions per event.

I understand Pierre Poilievre's concern about women and their biological clocks. Some women may have to go digital. 😁

@22-minutes.bsky.social I wish there were more episodes of "22 Minutes." It would be interesting seeing reporters standing 25 metres away asking Pierre Poilievre pre-approved questions. Show a campaign worker holding a poster board with written questions. Reporter: "Mr. P! Why are you so handsome?"

If Pierre Poilievre is afraid of the media, he'll be afraid of Donald Trump.

@markcritch.bsky.social I did not know that there was a Newfoundland and Labrador anthem.

If I were the @mark-carney.bsky.social campaign, I would create an ad that shows that if Pierre Poilievre can't deal with the media, he won't be able to deal with Donald Trump. #cdnpoli

Does crowd size matter at a political rally? Yes and no. It depends on where a rally is happening and if crowd size exceeds expectations. Pierre Poilievre did have a big rally in Edmonton. While the ridings in that city can be a toss-up among the different parties, there are enough... #cdnpoli

Toronto still has zero pedestrian streets under Olivia Chow. #topoli

@hwinkler4real.bsky.social For a moment, I thought that the man on our left was Richie Cunningham's long-lost brother, Chuck.

"If our leaders (Pierre Poilievre) are too afraid to go toe-to-toe with us journalists, how can we expect them (him) to take on Donald Trump?" #cdnpoli

@22-minutes.bsky.social @markcritch.bsky.social I am worried that Donald Trump will continue his anti-DEI agenda by ordering that the Underground Railroad be buried.
