Conservative Party refuses to drop candidate for 20 years' worth of controversial statements

It's time to renew CBC/Radio-Canada's mandate, and ensure it remains a strong, representative national public broadcaster.

CBC/Radio-Canada is a pillar of our Canadian identity.    We’re going to strengthen our public broadcaster with more long-term funding, and a modernized mandate — to deliver more local news and keep Canadians better informed during emergencies.

I just can’t get over the fact that the best idea a troll has is giving me cash. That’ll teach me a lesson. I hope they don’t keep doing that.

Carney: Canada must be looking elsewhere to expand our trade, to build our economy, and to protect our sovereignty. Canada is ready to take a leadership role in building a coalition of likeminded countries who share our values… If the US no longer wants to lead, Canada will

We're back to Poilievre just sanewashing Trump.

Leadership matters. So do elections. I’m supporting @Mark-Carney.bsky.social because he’s the leader we need now. A serious person who is straight about the challenges we face but has a plan & is working hard to bring Canadians together so we can build a better country for all. 💪❤️🇨🇦

At least now I understand how he bankrupted a casino

Now THAT’s a headline, no notes

As an American living in the UK, I wonder if most Americans realize just how much Trump has irrevocably torched opinions of the US. People are afraid to visit, see the country increasingly as an adversary, and that’s *before* the tariffs. This is doing long term damage—and that’s in our closest ally

Lots of very clever, well-informed Europeans are trying to rescue relations with the US based on assumptions that, at least to a minimal degree, Trump knows what he's doing. There is no reason to make this assumption.

Neil Young has told of his fears that he may not be able to return to the United States after his European tour this summer, suggesting he could be “barred or put in jail” by a “spineless” Trump administration

Terrible news. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social does a fantastic job of holding people who spread misinformation and disinformation to account. That is what pisses them off. On Twitter, the worst harassment I ever received was for a tweet with four words. "I respect Rachel Gilmore" I still do. Not CTV.

I don’t think Trump is coherent enough to have a strategy, but he understands power. Not a bad idea to let Musk attract as much loathing as possible so that, once he’s done all the stuff, Trump can dispose of him in a showy way. Because even those of us who know it’s a bit will enjoy that.

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

To be super clear: CTV Your Morning *approached* @rachelgilmore.bsky.social to do a weekly segment CTV announced on *national TV* she would be returning each week Then CTV *cancels* her segment after Poilievre’s staffer denounces the announcement on X pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...

Le premier ministre Wab Kinew et moi sommes tous deux déterminés à aider les Manitobains à surmonter cette crise tarifaire et à bâtir une économie au service de tous. On peut accomplir tellement lorsqu’on travaille ensemble. On va continuer à le faire.

How long before the Conservative Party starts making donations to, or running ads for, the NDP?

Like Carney says:

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

It’s time your government got back in the business of building affordable homes.

Statement from Dr. Margaret Meyer, Mark Carney’s doctoral supervisor.

To implement this, in any real way, here’s what a CPC gov’t would have to do: - cancel GBA+ analysis (in place since 90’s, yes through Harper) - fire all Status of Women employees - direct that any DEI objectives be scrubbed from exec performance evaluations 🧵

Poilievre pulling a Trump & Musk & making clear he will cut funding to anything he considers “woke” in federal public service & university research - like anything to do with climate science. As Danielle Smith made clear, Poilievre is “in sync” with Trump. We can never let him win. #TeamCarney

Yes--Germany invented the modern university. In the 1930s its universities were the best in the world until the Nazis destroyed them. German universities have never recovered their preeminence. We risk repeating this history here in the US.

100% lies spread to deceive you. Don’t be fooled. @liberalca.bsky.social

I think Canada needs to start a visa program for US travelers and require proof of vaccination.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

Every day. Don’t stop reminding Canadians of this. Don’t let the media stop challenging Poilievre on this. Never let up. It’s too important. Especially now. Canada’s sovereignty and economy are under attack by the exact same people that want Poilievre to win. Every day. Don’t stop.

Remember the people who downplayed Project 2025, said “fascism” was an exaggeration, and argued that Trump wouldn’t be so bad, because he’s “good at business” (he isn’t, never was) and won’t really do what he was clearly planning to do. Remember those people.

We're a month away from the federal election so by my rough calculation that's at least 18 to 20 more new slogans from Pierre to go.

Trump drops the demeaning "governor" stuff and calls Carney by his correct title

Identifying and finding the remains of murdered women feels like the most sorrowful of victories, the least a state can do. It almost didn't happen.

There is no distinction between being a proud Albertan and a strong Canadian. 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp

There are many reasons not to vote for pp, but this is a big one for me.

Liberal leader Mark Carney is holding a campaign rally in Montreal this evening. Commenting on Trump's new tariffs, Carney says: "We will fight these actions with retaliatory trade actions that will have the maximum impact in the United States and the minimum impact here in Canada."

"Smith invoked a quote from Churchill, the famous British wartime leader, who said fear is a reaction but courage is a decision." But by her words & actions, she's invoking appeasor Neville Chamberlain. #abpoli www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

The contrast is clear. #ProtectCanada #ChooseCarney #WhitbyProud #StrongerTogether #CanadaStrong #TeamCarney #Election2025 #ReElectRyanTurnbull #ElbowsUpCanada 💪🇨🇦

Holy moly.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Mark Carney's voice is the first I heard from the UK government on the morning after Brexit. He was the only sober adult in the room.

Even conservatives have been yelling for months about how Pierre Poilievre seems incapable of pivoting his campaign. He showed it today as the only candidate who didn’t adjust his schedule to address the latest Trump auto sector threat. It’s too late to shake that rep now. Bad leaders can’t pivot.

We love this country with every fibre of our being. I know that during this crisis, Canadians will remain united. We will keep Canada Strong.

In the Canadian Federal Election, I don’t care who makes a better speech or a better media soundbite. I care who will make, and protect, a better country for Canadians. #ElbowsUp #CanadaStrong

Canada-US relationship is ‘over’, says Mark Carney https://www.ft.com/content/6e09a6e2-6295-4fb2-a3ed-d728cf309c40
