"I haven't followed Canadian politics closely, but when a politician talks of limiting free press, activities at universities & defying the courts, it's the canary in a coal mine for autocracy" - Harvard University Professor when asked his opinion on Pierre Poilievre. #Canada #cdnpoli #elxn45

Have you noticed that the Cons have completely hidden Poilievre from their TV ads in these final two weeks? Not a single ad features him. They’ve realised he’s reviled outside his base. The Libs are blitzing the airwaves with Carney this week as he’s a revered world class star.

The CPC has been election ready since 2021, it's "interesting" that they don't have a budget reveal to Canadians. What are they hiding, besides hiding from the media so far, hiding from security clearance because the leader won with India's PM Modi's help. #cdnpoli

Gotta say, IMO, the number of Rebel "News" pseudo journalists at the post-debate scrum, hurling loaded qurstions the other party leaders & tossung softball questions to Poilievre isn't going to help the Cons. Just the opposite. It sounds so much like Trump media. #Canada #cdnpoli #elxn41

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadians—I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.
