Neither Carney nor Canada would have benefited from the prime minister sitting in the White House and trying to antagonize Trump. This isn't a movie or an episode of the West Wing.

Doug Ford: I need more money for my cars and my friends! Danielle Smith: I want my independence! Pierre Poilievre: It’s not fair though! I want a do-over! Mark Carney: If you don’t all stop right now I will turn this car around.

By all reports, I’ve probably survived cholera, or a very similar disease when I was a baby. Does that make me the super human chosen one that can now withstand drinking any type of untreated water and unpasteurised milk…? Nope. Don’t exercise your immune system on full fanged pathogens.

"Poilievre can't take MAGA hat off for a month and say he's not with Trump! If we fumble ball and elect Pierre's CPC we'll become the 51st State because at their core they are MAGA!" Vote like your country depends on it because it does🇨🇦 #CanadaElections2025 #CanadaSky 🔗 youtu.be/iO4_zroI_dk?si…

This election is not about Trump. It is about standing up for Canada and defying the rage-baiters, conspiracy trolls and those who trash our nation to score points. This election is about you Pierre Poilievre. We reject your hate politics. Canadians do your best. Don't accept the worst.

It may come as a surprise to some but the Canadian Conservative party ceased to exist 20 years ago, it was taken over. This is a different party using the same name. #canpoli

The debates came and went without anyone dealing -- or taking -- serious damage. Well, except the organizers. There was lots of other drama this week -- Including the return of the broligarchs. Have no fear. The Campaign Cops are here! @parismarx.com and I break it all down. Here’s a taste:

So the Conservative platform is twenty dense pages of bullet-points, all previously announced, with no actual details, coupled with some dubious math that books phantom revenues that may never be achieved. But remember, they're the "good economic manager" party.

In all seriousness, I haven't seen "fun with numbers" costing like this in a Conservative platform since the 2014 Ontario PC campaign.

The Conservative platform calls for a law that would require holding a referendum before raising taxes. That's nuts.

I have a question. Do you think other countries will expand trade and investment with Canada if we elect a far right leader who thinks inflation can be "axed", the BoC governor should be fired, Bitcoin is the future, has MAGA support, and has candidates who think the WEF is a global conspiracy?

#NDP has a chance to unseat the Conservative in #Courtenay-Alberni. I hope the Liberals help the NDP here. Vote for Canada, defeat Poilievre's Conservatives.

What happens to Con leader speeches if you take out all the bullshit slogans and fear based commentary? Now pull the “facts” out of his announcements. Attempt to find the truth in what’s left. Nothing. No substance. No truth. Zero plan. And today…Axe The Tax is back on

Thanks for @laura-babcock.bsky.social taking up this issue. I write about Poilievre's plan to suspend laws protecting the rights of people before the courts. He boasts he will target universities and deport students. This is the MAGA/FASCIST playbook. charlieangus.substack.com/p/book-burne...

In times of uncertainty, Canadians must rally behind a leader with the competence and experience to forge strategic economic partnerships and shield the nation from a once-trusted ally turned threat. Canada needs a builder of stability — not an opportunist fueled by ambition over duty.

The choice for Canadians is clear: prevent Poilievre from handing Canada over to the Kremlin and Trump-style corruption — at all costs. This is about safeguarding democracy and ensuring citizens retain the right to choose a leader suited to the present — and the future.

“..proposal to eliminate parole is similarly performative. They will not release the most notorious multiple murderers, and the families of victims need not participate. The Conservatives’ proposal to suspend constitutional law on this issue will deliver no benefit to Canadians.”

"Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has a playbook. Step one: Induce fear by suggesting that crime is at historic highs. Step two: Blame the Liberals. Step three: Promise solutions that ignore what the law already does."

Stop looking for the federal government to solve the provinces' problems. Hold the premiers to account for a change.

You have to love that Singh is promising both to intrude in areas of provincial jurisdiction while simultaneously promising cooperative, asymmetrical federalism. (They also did not release an English version of their Quebec platform).

As advanced polls open, all I can think about when it comes to this stunt is an elderly person or maybe someone who isn't super informed being really confused and overwhelmed by this ballot. Your advocacy shouldn't come at the expense of the accessibility of our elections. I think this sucks tbh

This is confirmation of the things I've been writing about for years now—that MPs are being instructed to abandon their duties to perform for clips rather than do their actual fucking jobs.

Poilievre lying about being "gagged" if he gets his security clearance. He would merely need to be responsible in his commentary, which he refuses to do. #debate
