Shame on the UCP, stealing money from the disabled. No excuses. Stop this cruelty www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Why can’t the folks who hate Canada just leave - and take the odious Smith with them.

“Let us be absolutely clear: our Nations do not and will never consent to the separation of our Treaty territories. These lands were never ceded nor surrendered.” Confederation of Treaty 6 First Nation would also like a word with Danielle Smith… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“Be mindful that, as a Nation, we are here, and continue to maintain our footprint on these lands, as our ancestors did. We demand that you 'Cease", your separatist effort immediately.” Sunchild First Nation joining the condemnation Smith’s corruption of democratic norms. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Poilievre continues streak of achieving nothing #CanadaVotes #cdnpoli

Thank you, Carleton. As we've said from the beginning, together we can. I'm grateful and humbled by everyone who contributed to our campaign. 1/2

Hey, Pierre? How do you like them apples?

It’s Election Day! Knocking doors with Sachit Mehra to get everyone out to vote for Mark Carney’s Liberals stand up for Canada. #CanadaStrong #FanjoyVsPoilievre

Dear Canada, Pierre Poilievre is Coming for Your Reproductive Rights vajenda.substack.com/p/dear-canad...

The idiot Trump isn't playing. So let's choose a leader who can outsmart (and outclass) him. We cannot depend on Pp's superior apple-eating skills to win against Trump.

“Dow Chemical has paused construction on its $11.6-billion net-zero petrochemical project northeast of Edmonton due to the uncertain economic state of the world.” Danielle Smith’s “Big Win” for Alberta continues… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/1114786...

Boy, when I listen to Mark Carney talk about his plan for investing in Canada’s economy, for breaking down interprovincial & international barriers, for doubling home building, and for turning Canada into an energy superpower, I’m struck by how clearly he knows what he’s talking about. Refreshing.

Hope someone with more skills than me (and a twitter account) can prove this is not an actual tweet - because if it is real, good gawd the USA is hooped.

My favourite bit about Bluesky is that the others are over in Elmo’s litter box, wallowing in their own filth, delighted with themselves because a couple of Russian bots liked their racist tweet.

READ THE COMPLAINT: Harvard sues the Trump administration for its attempts to "coerce and control" the university in violation of the First Amendment, the APA, etc. www.harvard.edu/research-fun...

In honour of Hegseth’s second instance of sharing military secrets to unsecured group chats, I’m going to post students’ final grades on Bluesky. (Just kidding: I’m semi-competent at my job, and in contrast to ol’ Petey, if I broke confidentiality like that, I’d be fired.)

We need more of this! My latest Legion Magazine article is an interview with the RCAF Foundation's CEO, Jeremy Diamond. His organization has just published a children's book on the RCAF. We discuss its origins and importance. 📸 RCAF Foundation. legionmagazine.com/rcaf-foundat...

He’s speaking of my personal moral philosophy, what I call the aggressive pragmatic. Be a radical centrist. Be a zealot for balance and thoughtful governance.

More GOP are growing spines and standing up to Trump; we all have hopes.

This is simultaneously proof that Supervised consumption sites save lives amidst a toxic supply and that the UCP doesn’t care at all. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“Imagine if I had done any of this,” former President Obama said, later adding: “It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors.” cnn.it/42inwNV

And the cuts just keep on coming. Alberta Children & Family Services have now cut Child & Youth Support. For how adamant Smith & the UCP were that kids need to be supported and protected a year ago, they sure seem to consistently be making them targets… #abpoli #cdnpoli

Today, federal $15 per day daycare program begins. This program was designed to make daycares affordable and increase participation in employment. But Alberta government, also today, quickly eliminated its daycare subsidy, which means that some low-income families will actually end up paying more

Today, on the Trans Day of Visibility, and every day, our message is clear: trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️ And if you can’t be visible, if the hate feels too heavy some days, know that we see you and we love you. 🩵💗🤍

🔥🔥🔥 One Man’s March to Beat Poilievre in His Own Riding. Aspiring Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy has knocked on 5,000 doors. ‘I see hope in faces.’ —Michael Harris, The Tyee 3/4/2025 #cdnpoli

My latest Legion Magazine column explores how London, Ont., researchers are contextualizing the homeless experience of female veterans across Canada. legionmagazine.com/demographic-...

Well, that's handy.

Elon’s own AI bot is calling this illegal ⚰️

So the UCP intends to steal the federal CDB from those with disabilities. Seems entirely on brand for them. We will not forget.

This is the guy that has taken Carleton riding by storm. What's Poilievre going to do when he loses his seat? Bruce Fanjoy 🍁🇨🇦 @brucefanjoy.bsky.social I'm Bruce Fanjoy. I'm not a career politician, and I'm fighting for you, Carleton. #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre is engaging in blatant misinformation. Mark Carney will be debating in French. He is not participating in an event held by TVA because of the outrageous requirement of a $70,000 fee to participate. Facts matter

Missed it last week? Here is my latest Legion Magazine article with the Juno Beach Centre's new president Chris LaBossiere: legionmagazine.com/preserve-dev...

My maternal grandmother died in the 1918 flu pandemic. RFK Jr can go fuck himself.
