This is Jamil Jivani. Jamil is a one of Pierre Poilievre's MPs - he replaced Erin O'Toole in Durham, ON in March of 2024. Based on his own Instagram post from 2019, he is great friends with JD Vance (now VP to Trump). Conservatives can not be trusted with our sovereignty.

I’m sure Donald is flattered, Pierre.

Happy Flag Day Canada! Fly it for democracy, take back what was always ours to proudly wear! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 We do not and will not stand for hate.

Everyone needs this!

And the World’s Top Thinker for 2025 goes to….Eliane Brum! Many thanks to everyone who voted for this extraordinarily inspiring and much-loved human being, and to the panel of experts who shortlisted her for the annual Prospect accolade. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/enviro...

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Find your footing & stand fast. #RESIST

Some 🇨🇦 facts for those who think Canadians are boring socialists & pacifists. Plot ruin - we’re not. 1/

I love that in these dark times we can all come together to laugh at cyber trucks.

Here's what Harper wanted to do to Canada's healthcare in 2014. Poilievre would finish the job. Who would lose the most? 1) Seniors 2) Low income 3) Economic downturn 3) Rural areas Surprise: Alberta would be the ONLY province to benefit Hat tip: @hellostephano.bsky.social #CdnPoli #Canada

We can do this Canada

“I couldn’t believe my eyes: There were officers on the ground. They were bleeding. They were throwing up. I saw friends with blood all over their faces. I was slipping in people’s blood. I was catching people as they fell. It was carnage. It was chaos. I can’t even describe what I saw….”

"What we do now will dictate the future of our planet and our society. The climate and nature bill presents us with a clear choice: we can either rise to the challenge of our time, safeguarding our planet and future generations, or continue down the path to destruction."

Gotta love the British press.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

I am begging, BEGGING the Canadian government to protect its citizens from the undeniable threat that now exists in the US. Specifically, this person. I also implore Doug Ford to cancel any and all contracts with his companies immediately. #cdnpoli

To the surprise of no one, Poilievre won’t say if he supports Team Canada or outlier Danielle Smith

This is everything you need to know about Poilievre. He is their guy on the inside. I will never ever vote on anything brought forward by this man. He is fundamentally unfit for public office.

Great article about PMJT Canadians are really messing up a good thing. History will be kind to PMJT. #cdnpoli #canada

People need to hear this every day to push back against the oligarchy.

Recreating my huge thread below here, will pin to my profile. Thread of threads - Poilievre is lying to you: Poilievre and his party have voted NO against the following legislation and bills in Parliament Voted No on Bill C-21 - amendments to firearms bill Voted No on Bill C-245 - amendments /1

Welcome to 2025, a year in which these reminders remain necessary: * Unmitigated spread of pathogenic viruses is bad. * War crimes and ethnic cleansing are bad. * Environmental destruction is bad. * Extreme and growing wealth inequality is bad. * Bigotry is bad.

Fuck this. Fuck the NDP if they stand by this. This is bullshit politics and does nothing to help the country.

It's sad it came to this, while I wasn't always pleased with Trudeau's decisions, I'm proud of his legacy and having had him as PM, and the country is better for it.

Meanwhile, while the chaos reigned around funding the government, and under the direction of Musk, the Republicans killed an agency that fights foreign propaganda. Like, we didn't see that coming. #USDemocracy newrepublic.com/post/189692/...

Canadians are very interested in revoking Kevin O’Leary’s citizenship and would like to hear more.

MAGA is a community of misfits unable to adapt to reality, relying on conspiracy theories and propaganda to make them feel like they understand reality, and not realizing they are manipulated and deluded

Liberal MP Bill Blair 🇨🇦 Last night Cons voted against $3B+ in funding for National Defence & the CAF included in the Supplementary Estimates. Poilievre has no plan to meet NATO’s 2% target & his voting record indicates he’d take us back to when Canada spent less than 1% of GDP on defence. #cdnpoli

For those keep score: Doug Ford has added $22.5B more to provincial debt than Kathleen Wynne did in her 5 years. Conservatives are far from being fiscally prudent despite preaching so. www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/06/o...
