Voted today! You have four days of advance voting this long weekend. You are legally entitled to three hours to leave work to go and vote on election day. Whichever party you support, JUST VOTE! We haven’t exceeded 70% in voter turnout since 1993. #LetsBeat70

#Québec #Canada #elxn45 #Abitibi - #Baie-James - #Nunavik - #Eeyou You are in tossup AND vote split territory with a razor thin Liberal advantage. You are also one of 35 tossup/leaning ridings and we need at least 15 of those ridings to secure a Liberal majority. It’s a great day to go vote

The cancellation of the post debate press event due to security issues is a result of Pierre Poilievre's rage farming of over 20 years. He succeeded once again in shutting down the media and hopefully it leads to Canadians shutting down his career. Once and for all. You reap what you sow. #cdnpoli

Why not just undergo the CSIS screening to prove he can pass it now and then just decline the briefings? Canadians want proof that Poilievre isn't corrupt or compromised. His old clearance expired. If PP became PM he would get top secret briefings automatically without clearance.😬

Me: you mean more babies by EVERYBODY?? Natalists: absolutely tf not.

FWIW, as a native Québécoise fluent in French, I’m finding Mark Carney’s ability to hold his own in tonight’s French-language Leaders’ Debate to be much better than I expected. Pas mal du tout! #CdnPoli #DébatDesChefs

Pierre Poilievre gleefully musing to abuse the notwithstanding clause to override Supreme Court rulings that deemed Harper (and Poilievre's) 'tough on crime' legislation unconstitutional is just further proof Poilievre has no intention of reducing crime, only in politicizing and Americanizing it.

Keep on rocking in the free world. ✌️ m.neilyoungarchives.com/news/4/artic...

Puffed out chest, extreme posture. Two overt displays of male dominance, and it really, really creeps many women out. Especially when he starts talking about their biological clocks. #cdnpoli

Don’t forget Matt Gaetz

Another nail in Poilievre’s political coffin… #NeverPoilievre #PierrePoilievreIsMAGA

This will only happen if Liberals get out and vote. Historically, they assume all is well then the polls show them winning, and then wonder what the heck happened when they lose. Every Vote Counts!

Bay Street bankers are sweating Mark Carney’s rise. Why? Back in ’08, when U.S. banks tanked on risky loans and shady deals, Carney tightened the screws on banks, kept lending in check, and made damn sure their execs didn’t drown in bonuses while the economy burned. #cdnpoli

Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 paused his own campaign, called an emergency cabinet meeting, and left detailed instructions for officials to help the next government—even if it’s not his to be ready for Trump negotiations ! This is pure true leadership. #cdnpoli

In the biggest crisis of our lifetimes, we need serious leadership and a real plan.

Going to be remarkable to see the speed with which the rest of the world figures out how to get by without the United States.

On April 28 - our Canadian Federal Election Do not trust the polls Do not trust the size of rallies Do not listen to media stating this person or that person is winning. EVERY VOTE COUNTS. The only thing you can trust is your vote, this is how you make change. #VoteABC

Remember acid rain? Scientists fear it could return Some U.S. scientists warn that the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed deregulations could lead to the return of acid rain and contaminated soil for parts of Canada. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

“The political climate raises broader questions. What kind of treatment are we normalising? What assumptions are being made about who is welcome and who isn’t?" www.bbc.com/travel/artic...

It may be that the best reason to vote liberal right now is that all the world’s worst regimes seem to be working actively against Mark Carney…peace, order and good government are a direct threat to them.

Let’s make it a turnout to remember Canada! #CanadaVotes

Why is #Science not in the ballot in Canada? After what we have seen in 🇺🇸 this should frighten us all.

The Tyee’s headline ⤵️ and I’m here for it 😂💪🏻🤭 Pierre Poilievre Keeps Talking about Women’s Biological Clocks. He Should Stop. Right-wing politics has a fixation on baby-making right now, and it’s weird. #Canada Agreed, it’s creepy as fk 🤬 thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

Carney has joined Singh in pledging to strengthen the CBC. Poilievre has pledged to kill it. www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7501902

Poilievre's released a new ad, and it's just him driving around a race track in multiple fancy sports cars like his writers opened chatGPT and typed "show me what the douchiest midlife crisis looks like"

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.
 Not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.
