Elbows Up! 🇨🇦

We’re watching a world that trades truth for convenience, discipline for shortcuts, and security for illusions. The question isn’t whether it’ll collapse—but whether we’ll have the courage to rebuild when it does.

Smells like fear, but more so the rule of an autocrat.

Maybe we elect a successful economist and not an ex-paper boy and MAGA/IDU puppet!? 🇨🇦

On April 28th, I really hope women grab Poilievre by the biological clock.

Pre dawn view of Venus, Saturn and Mercury. Had been waiting for an opportunity to see Mercury for the longest time!! Incredibly beautiful background to watch it finally. Perfect one for my 100th post here 4:30am IST PortBlair India #astrophotography #photography #planets #venus #mercury #saturn

We Canadians can show any of 33 different pieces of ID to be eligible to vote. Everything from a letter from your priest to a Driver's License. I have NEVER heard of a Canadian that was NOT permitted to register AND vote on election day. A true democracy does not live in fear of its electorate. 🇨🇦

So happy to add @blockshopbooks.bsky.social to the Canadian Indie Bookstore starter pack. The store is wonderfully curated and resides in the historical town of #Lunenburg (where both Red Tiger and Secret of the Hotel Maisonneuve first came to life). #TrueNorth 🇨🇦 #BuyCanadian go.bsky.app/RRww7AR

He's doing Prime Minister things. Blanchet and Poilievre obviously have no idea what that means. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

My door-knocking crew for the @coreyhogan.ca blitz day in Varsity. Liberal signs deployed: 20 Conservative signs spotted: 2 Number of locals who stopped us on the street for a sign: 3 Volunteers deployed across the riding: too many to count (but there’s always room for more).

Bizarre.

Birds of a feather; TRAITOR TOGETHER !!!!

China has offloaded $50 Billion in US Treasury bonds & limited further purchase of Dollars. Meanwhile, an anonymous buyer is purchasing European Bonds.

Thank you so much to @maplemama20.bsky.social for including me in her lovely SP! Please check it out now‼️ go.bsky.app/R3SPdY4

Wow, nice 👍🏼 ⤵️⤵️ watch

Conrad Black, a convicted criminal pardoned by Donald Trump, has the nerve to say that Mark Carney would be bad for Canada. His newspaper, the National Post, is a propaganda outlet for MAGA. Conrad Black is a traitor.

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.

The UCP has stood in the Legislature and repeatedly stated they are "doing everything" in their power to comply with the Auditor General’s investigation. 

 Then, they turned around and issued a gag order. What is the UCP trying so hard to cover up? #CorruptCare

I was wondering why Nanaimo was listed as a toss-up with conservatives in the lead. Same reason. People, please get your act together and vote smart.

As a proud Canadian-owned and operated company, we want to do our part to support Canadians. As a family we have decided to absorb all immediate increases in our costs due to the Trump-tariffs for the rest of the year to maintain our prices. We will continue to reinforce our Canadian-first policies.

How can Canadians not vote for #MarkCarney after this endorsement!

Dump mini Trump Axe the cons....

Ditto what all the posters said! #CarneyOn

Agree

Danielle Smith says next prime minister needs to repair damage in Alberta No Danielle Smith needs to repair the damage to Canada and Canadians and she start in her own Province were she is destroying their Healthcare sector and handing it to the private sector!

“Couldn’t have said it better myself “! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Great reminder. Thank you.

Alberta Minister gives himself the power to approve or veto Law Society grants & cancels $10M dollars worth. Critics say it's corruption akin to #CorruptCare at AHS www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #ABpoli #yyc #yeg #yql #abhealth #ablaw

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

Pierre Poilievre doesn’t talk about men’s biological clocks, sperm counts, or prostate health—because that would be invasive and absurd. So why is it acceptable for him to comment on women’s reproductive timelines? It’s not policy. It’s not leadership. It’s misogyny. #NeverPoiLIEvre

Here's Politicsgirl video on Canadian election...

Wow- this woke me up! View Politicsgirl video- quite the summary

For those in #YEGGateway, here's an opportunity to meet the federal Liberal candidate. #Ableg #Abpoli #Cdnpoli event.liberal.ca/en/event/195... Also poll showing how close the vote is, so please vote for Jeremy. We need to defeat Uppal, who resides a year in YOW.

No matter what he “Claims” now…he has never done what is best for Candadians…not once…he isn’t going to start now…He lies…it’s the “proven PoiLIEvre decade” ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️ #canada #elbowsup #markcarneyforpm #cdnpoli #voteliberal #tariffs #tradewar #neverpoilievre #never51state

A well researched article on why #PierrePoilievre has it all wrong on intimate partner violence. @andiyeg.bsky.social #NeverPoilievre #NeverCPC #NeverVoteConservative #Ableg #Abpoli #Cdnpoli #IPV thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Notice that Pierre Poilievre is only giving tax breaks to the wealthy, those who make money in the stock market, selling their 2, or 3 home. Not something the average Canadian could use. Harper did the same thing. #NeverPoilievre

Got stopped on my walk by a train (but it was short and I rarely see trains so that's cool)

A suggestion for folks out in Alberta... Spread the word, even to those who slant a bit to the right, but are fed up with this person's policies and attitude.. Encourage people to vote Liberal as an ANTI-DANIELLE SMITH vote.

I went to my local Elections Canada office this morning and voted. In and out in under three minutes. Couldn’t have been easier. There are no excuses not to vote. It’s not a huge inconvenience, but it is a huge responsibility.

PM states "I'll just say a few words if I may" He leaves without taking questions & reporter loses it. One yells, "So you're just campaigning are you?" Girl! He's been running the country and campaigning. He stopped his campaign again to hold this meeting. Calm down. www.cpac.ca/scrums/episo...

Imagine walking into a job interview and telling your prospective employer that you'll only answer 4 questions and you get to decide what the questions will be. This is what Poilievre is pulling on #Canadians And he still doesn't have his security clearance. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia

www.ctvnews.ca/federal-elec... There was no genocide. Stop lying to people & read a book. The Holocaust was a genocide. Get off Twitter & learn more about the world —Aaron Gunn The Truth & Reconciliation Commission categorized the intent behind the residential school system as “cultural genocide” 1/

Far-right politician Matt Gaetz has endorsed Pierre Poilievre A vote for Poilievre is a vote for Trump This endorsement will really tip the scales in PoiLIEvre’s favor. 😅😂🤣 Just the best people. 🙄 #canada #politics #cdnpoli #markcarneyforpm #neverpoilievre #never51state #elbowsup #tradewar

Congrats on the endorsement, Pierre Poilievre #cdnpoli
