One thing that I was thought was revealing about the divisions within Canada: When Carney acknowledged Poilievre's hard work on his campaign in his victory speed, the crowd of Liberals cheered. When Poilievre mentioned Carney in his concession speech, there was loud booing.

Low info big mad voters - a recipe for disaster exploited by leaders who like to mirror the big mad back at them and feed them disinformation. We escaped this time but next time?

We can only hope that whoever succeeds in this election will pay close attention to @armineyalnizyan.bsky.social ‘s wise words.

April 28th is the day we remember workers injured and killed on the job. They don't teach us the monumental stories of resistance and organizing to make workplaces safer. This is my reflection on the origins of April 28th and the miners of the north who made history. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Poilievre rushed to safety after actual journalist question makes it past security

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

Policy Horizons is government strategic foresight unit. It looks at a range of hypotheticals to help government think about the long-term implications of policies. It has now become a far-right conspiracy theory in the dying days of this election and that sucks. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/04/24/p...

Another interesting difference between campaigns- many photos of Carney reaching out to people and politicians across the country while PP has a tightly controlled presence with limited interactions.

This paper reports that more than 1000 Canadians died of work-related injuries or occupational disease in 2023, a tragic number that is probably a significant underestimate - since in many cases of disease we don’t even understand the extent of exposures.

Why is Poilievre afraid of a security clearance? Why is Poilievre afraid of questions from our press? Why would anyone vote for this? #ElbowsUpCanada

Good interview to share with Americans still not getting it. While some of the points made by @stephenmarche.bsky.social may be a bit hard to hear or sound overblown to some, the directness and clarity was refreshing. His statements largely represent my views. youtu.be/3c55rUOHjdY?...

“And the whole ecosystem that supported Canadian popular history has either shrivelled (newspapers and magazines) or vanished altogether (book reviews sections in newspapers and magazines).” Dan Gardner on Canadian history writing with a special plug for @drmarkbourrie.bsky.social

This shows you just how obtuse some Alberta Conservatives are. They think "it's not us, it's you" and "do what we want or we'll hurt you" are warm invitations to "paddle together."

The musical references escape this boomer but I’m impressed by the range of this candidate. A bit of fun in an otherwise oppressively dreary time.

“Hardscrabble is a term that certainly fits parts of the city. The south end, where I grew up, remains frozen in time. The small, post-Second World War homes are still standing, with no signs of gentrification in sight.” South end kid here too. Once a Liberal town but no more.
