Translation "Trump would have lost without the Foreign interference in the US of Russia democratic process". Musk says ‘Trump would have lost’ without his help, U.S. president threatens to kill contracts www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

And with that, Canada’s NDP has lost my support and won't ever have my vote again. I'm over the political games played at the expense of the tax payers. #NDP #NeverAgain NDP to vote against throne spe... www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

@ctvnews-rss.bsky.social has gotten so lazy with their reporting they don't even do a final read before posting their garbage.

While people are espousing their opinions on Biden's cancer diagnosis I'd like to remind everyone, I am a cancer survivor and don't believe karma played a part in either my diagnosis or my survival so kindly STFU.

If you ever think what is the point of voting, remember the Liberal party took the Terrebonne riding in a recount by 1 vote. #EveryVoteCounts

Happy Early mothers day to me. #TreatYoSelf

OK if the bi-election is only being held so PP can keep power, and it was because an AB MP has decided to give up his duly elected position to make this happen, and it is going to cost 1.38M, I'm assuming that cost is going to be paid by the people of AB since Canada already clearly spoke......

The belief that only PP is capable of leading the Conservative party and is the only one who will "hold the Liberals accountable" says a lot for their party and its members.

Get er done folks. Shut him out in every seat he tries to steal. We might end up with a Liberal majority yet. Protest group hoping to add 200+ names to Pierre Poilievre’s Alberta byelection ballot www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

When your own words come back to bite you in the ass. Time to get your paper route back #PierrePoilievre

Sooooo Canadians did what Pierre Poilievre said to do and voted for change, at least in his riding. I hope he's happy lol. He got what he wanted. Now he can go get a job.

Hey Pierre in the words of the Offspring, why don't you get a job?

So happy to say my MP is David Myles, but am sad that I won't see him in concert at Harvest Jazz Festival again.

A NS restaurant is paying staff $20/hr and 50% of the profits earned at the end of the month through a profit-sharing model and saying no tips. They say it’s all about equity and ensuring that people are all compensated fairly for their work. This is why I love my Canada.

Is this “Canada First,” Pierre? #FanjoyVsPoilievre

Fucking Alberta conservatives.... all "Canada First" & "Canada Strong" on one side of their face but the other side is saying "if Libs win, we want to separate" So it's only Canada first if your team wins? GTFOH.

17/17 We need to stop electing people who appeal to anger and nostalgia, and support those who understand the complexity of the world we live in. It’s time to vote for intelligence, collaboration, & leaders who put people over slogans, substance over showmanship & public service over self-interest.

16/17 Experience & Leadership Mark Carney is a globally respected economist with Harvard and Oxford degrees, former Governor of the Bank of Canada, Governor of the Bank of England, and chair of the Financial Stability Board during the 2008 crash. He’s guided entire economies through disaster.

15/ 17 Alberta Oil and gas make up 21% of Alberta’s economy, but only 3.2% of Canada’s GDP. Alberta matters but it’s not the whole show. Had we stuck with a national energy strategy Alberta alone could be getting $8 billion a year in transfers. But Mulroney’s Cons killed the NEP.

14/17 Quebec / Jurisdictional Realities Housing, health care, education — these are provincial responsibilities. The Bloc leader was absolutely right to call it out. I love Quebec’s culture, the way they approach business internationally. Canada is stronger with Quebec at the table WITH us.

13/17 National Infrastructure The Trans Mountain pipeline? Purchased and completed by this government. The Coastal GasLink LNG pipeline to Kitimat? Operational. Pipelines got built. Quietly. Without press conferences and bumper stickers.

12/17 Health Care The feds have increased transfers — $198.6 billion over 10 years, with a $3.1 billion deal signed with Ontario alone. But the Financial Accountability Office says Ontario is underfunding health care by $21.3 billion. So ask yourself: where’s that money going?

11/17 Homelessness didn’t just pop up overnight. Mental health issues have been exacerbated by decades of cuts especially by Conservative provincial governments that closed psychiatric hospitals and reduced access to services. Many people end up self-medicating just to survive.

10/17 Cons and Republicans Are Canadian Cons the same as U.S. Republicans? No but they are increasingly aligned. They belong to the same international party alliance, use the same culture war tactics, and have increasingly adopted U.S.-style talking points on immigration, media, and identity.

9/17 Freedom of Speech The last real gag order in this country was under Harper, when government scientists were forbidden from sharing research that the government didn’t agree with. Now, Conservatives are openly discussing using the Notwithstanding Clause to override Supreme Court rulings.

8/17 Military The Harper government slashed defense spending to its lowest levels since WWII. Bases closed. Veterans were ignored. The current government has increased spending, committed to modernization, and started rebuilding our global reputation. It’s slow — but it’s real.

7/17 “Run Government Like a Business” Government isn’t a business. You can’t cut the sick, the poor, or the unprofitable. You don’t get to fire your “bad customers.” Government is supposed to serve all of us, not turn a profit.

6/17 Housing Crisis Housing is a provincial and municipal responsibility. The feds can help with funding and incentives — and they have — but zoning, permitting, and approvals are in the hands of cities and provinces.

5/17 National Debt Yes, the debt grew during the pandemic. But that spending kept businesses open, families afloat, and supply chains functioning. Canada’s debt-to-GDP ratio is still the lowest in the G7. So while we need fiscal discipline, we’re not teetering on the edge.

4/17 Immigration Yes, the international student surge put pressure on housing and services but reforms are already in place — caps, tighter oversight, and new criteria. At the same time, many of the people complaining about immigration were also the ones yelling about labour shortages.
