Canadians will vote tomorrow in the most emotional election since 1988. I have my own preference. But I note: no one doubts that the vote will be free and fair - or that the loser will peacefully accept the voters' decision. That may not sound much. It's more than others have.

Dear Canada: That asshole in the WH hasn’t stopped calling you the 51st state because he has given up his expansionists ambitions. He stopped saying it because Poilievre begged him to chill during the election. If you want Canada to stay Canadian,vote Liberal. You can deal with policy differences

I’ve stayed quiet long enough this election. But something has pushed me past the point of silence. This isn’t about left vs right. It’s about rights and power. And it’s why I won’t vote Conservative. Because of how Pierre Poilievre talks about using the Notwithstanding Clause. (1/24)

OTD 1926: The future Queen Elizabeth II is born in London. Her parents were the Duke and Duchess of York, who became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1936. The younger Elizabeth assumed the throne when her father died in 1952. A wonderful monarch.

Twenty years in, getting nothing done, and expecting yet another promotion. I do not know of anyone, in any career, who has accomplished less than Pierre Poilievre. And the people of Ottawa Carleton have an opportunity to finally - FINALLY - fire him and elect @brucefanjoy.bsky.social. #cdnpoli

It almost feels unfair how much more fundamentally likeable Carney is than Poilievre. The mother in me almost wants to give him some sort of head start in the debate. Like maybe Poilievre gets to wear a fun novelty sweatshirt.

🔴 This is hilarious! 😂😂 Even 15 yrs ago, we KNEW Poilievre. 🔳 RICK MERCER: “We wanted to get some fun stories from people who have worked with Pierre before he became a Member of Parliament. Now unfortunately, we cannot find ANY evidence that he actually held what most of us would call ‘a JOB’.”
