Canadians, among others, shouldn’t go to America any more. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Pierre Poilievre dropped five candidates in one week, yet he continues to stand behind Aaron Gunn and Andrew Lawton For @thestar.com, I ask why is Poilievre standing behind these candidates with extreme and controversial views when he has thrown others under the bus for arguably lesser offences?

Poilievre keeps bringing up his war on woke ideology in his speeches, meaning that he thinks it’s a winner for his voters, and that should have us all concerned, writes @journodale.bsky.social

I don’t always talk about a big scary boogeyman hiding under the bed, but when I do, I call it Woke.

Muslim group, constituents call for Andrew Lawton's removal as Conservative candidate in southern Ontario www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"One tweet from a Poilievre spokesperson created a far-right social media shit-fit that led CTV to kibosh Rachel Gilmore’s fact-checking segment Doing your job well is all it takes for a woman journalist to get cancelled in #Canada" Latest @cultmtl.bsky.social #cdnpoli cultmtl.com/2025/04/rach...

This is a a look at how Poilievre might govern, should he win the beauty contest April 28. Straight out of the Trump playbook. When I was trying to assess their industrial strategy, because so little other than tax cuts have been offered, his long, rambling speeches have little policy. Like Trump.

Stop Talking About Our Biological Clocks, You Weirdos youtu.be/weQFu1cVYJI

NEW: Conservative candidate used a secret Signal group chat with Freedom Convoy leaders, right-wing media and far-right influencers Andrew Lawton was a member of the “clandestine” group chat used to coordinate convoy messaging on social media

I spoke to @sonjfatah.bsky.social, associate chair of TMU's journalism school, who said this illustrates the threat political pressure campaigns pose to press freedoms in Canada: “It’s a sacrifice of a journalist ...They don’t want to have to deal with the reaction from the trolls.”

Conservatives confident attacking female journalist will distract from Poilievre’s comments about women’s “biological clocks”

What happened to @rachelgilmore.bsky.social is not just about CTV caving to Conservative pressures. There’s a larger issue: #cdnmedia are pushing out any female voices, voices of colour and Indigenous voices that aren’t centre-right or right. Even then there is very little representation

Absolutely shameful that CTV caved to a disingenuous right-wing pressure campaign instead of standing their ground. It presents even more red flags about the state of the media in Canada. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social did not deserve to be treated this way.

“Not only are Poilievre’s comments creepy, they’re also deeply dishonest coming from a career politician who’s voted against countless social programs and done little to improve women’s lives.” The only clock whose time is running out is Pierre Poilievre’s An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social.

The irony here is that he’s using language that’s eerily similar to Trump, who talks in the same weird way about fertility.

Free speech champion Elon Musk vows to use powers of government to “go after” people who criticize his company that sells ugly trucks

According to his LinkedIn, he was a boss at Loblaw from 2012-2022. Loblaw admits to illegally conspiring to inflate bread prices from 2001-2015.

imagine going to a premier known for corruption, decimating the public healthcare system, and destroying science centres, parks, trees, birds, and animal habitats for help and he's like "nah bro, you'll make me look bad" IMAGINE HOW EMBARRASSING THAT WOULD BE FOR YOU

Some right-wing faux-journalist leeches decided to go after Mark Carney's trans kid. They couldn't even rub together enough journalistic skill to do that properly. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/you-dont-g...

Having had a kid die of measles in my arms as a doctor in the DR Congo, I respectfully disagree that this would be better. Vaccines save lives. www.thedailybeast.com/rfk-jr-it-wo...

Trying to remember if CAJ made a statement when I was denied access to the Conservative convention even though I do actual journalism.

Every time the CBC does something stupid, you'll hear even progressives calling for it to be defunded. But as someone who grew up in rurally, I can tell you that venture-capitalist-owned media is not going to small towns. They don't see money? They don't see value. The CBC is an essential service.

It is utterly unbearable that we are FIVE YEARS into the pandemic and we still don’t have clean air in schools. Canadian provincial governments and the Federal government aren’t even clearly stating and promoting that we NEED clean air in schools. 5 years in and all pretend it’s not airborne, still.

Trump needs to stop these tariffs for the sole reason that people are starting to believe that Doug Ford is a good leader, and I cannot have that

Wayne Gretzky figuring out who to call next to try to convince people he's a patriotic Canadian when all he has to do is one simple thing. #Never51 #ElbowsUp #TheGreatOnce
