Good to know our security experts are monitoring foreign efforts to influence our election on social media. China, India, Russia, Iran, and others would love to sway our votes this way. Let's keep exposing them no matter who they try to promote. #CanadaStrong www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"A network of X accounts is “artificially” amplifying misinformation about Canada’s economy and leadership" "The network, made up of 73 accounts shares material from U.S. right-wing sites, as well as Toronto-based Canada Free Press and Montreal-based Post Millennial" thelogic.co/news/canada-...

Remember when 300+ Twitter accounts said they went to a 40-person community centre near Kirkland lake, with just two variations of an identical tweet - plenty from US accounts and some from the country of Georgia?! #CanadaSky #NeverPoilievre #CPCcheats

Carney is an imperfect human with an impressive economics CV. I believe his intentions are sincere and he loves Canada. Poilievre is an unoriginal Harper creation that will sell Canada for parts. The purity political pundits can pound sand.

IMPORTANT: A major disinformation network of X accounts is targeting Canada ahead of the Federal election. “The accounts are pumping out thousands of posts about the Canadian economy and alleged support within Canada for U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation threat.” thelogic.co/news/canada-...

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

This is amazing!

Will the US attempt to annex Canada? Timothy Snyder says: "They will take it if you let them take it. But if you don't let them take it, if it's apparent that there will be a cost, it will be a very different question for them." In short: Elbows up, Canada.

Do we want Mark Carney-a world-renowned economist, former Bank of 🇨🇦 & Bank of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Governor, trusted by global leaders to steer economies through crisis? Or Pierre Poilievre-a career politician who backed Brexit, claimed Canadians could “opt out” of inflation by buying Bitcoin. #elbowsup🇨🇦

This looks wonderful!

These are fantastic!

Words of wisdom!

Best of luck to all Americans out marching today. Be many! Be loud! Tear down the god damn walls! Send pics. We are beside you in spirit and would be shoulder to shoulder with you but we don’t travel there any longer. Fight the insanity!

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵

NEW: CTV cancelled a fact-checking segment in response to political pressure from Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives An audio recording obtained by PressProgress shows CTV cancelled an ‘election misinformation’ segment with journalist Rachel Gilmore after online backlash from conservatives

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

In 1980 a 21 year old Canadian, absolute giant of a human being named Terry Fox, started the "Marathon Of Hope" in St. Johns NL. He had lost one leg to cancer, and decided to do this to raise funds for cancer research. Without fanfare, he started running the equivalent of a marathon a day.

Just a reminder, fellow Canadians, some US companies have cottoned onto this and are putting the leaf on their non-Canadian (made) product with copy like "the choice of Canadians." www.foodincanada.com/food-busines...
