I'm an hour into the Sam Seder 'Surrounded' debate with Jubilee. Oh dear. I think Mr. Seder was expecting something very different to... the mess he was exposed to. That was 20 aggrieved, politics of grievance followers who weren't ready for a fulsome discussion and debate. By my napkin math […]

Sigh I'm confused about the rejection of a certain party leader towards getting their security clearance. As a person who managed cabinet documents for the Associate Minister of Nation Defence for a few years, it shows to me that (1) we will be less safe day 1 in a Pollievre mandate, (2) […]

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper is correct to note that we are in dark days. But they will pass. And it behooves us to embark on a project of national renewal. nationalpost.com/opinion/step... #Canada #IAmCanadian #cdnpoli

No, Canada is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 broken. As former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien rightly stated this week at a political function, Canada is stronger than its been and getting stronger. While some challenges are new, it's nothing that we haven't faced before. #Canada #IAmCanadian #CanadianClub

One of our former speakers shared a thread on International Women's Day. Consider reading it, as she delves into some of the issues facing our world, and provides a challenge to those who participate in these annual days of acknowledgment. - Vincent

Hm. This pivot in American foreign policy is bigger than the fall of the Soviet Union. Note: - Withdrawal from the international order that it had created, carefully and diligently since President Wilson, - Realignment to authoritarian-focused governments, and making expendable those they've […]

Windows. Windows -- why in the ever loving god would you immediately delete a screenshot I took and left in the Gallery photo? Like, why? I don't understand it. I put it there for a reason. I took that screenshot. And I wanted to keep that screenshot. And then you send it immediately into […]

Oh, wow, Ontario. Basically no one voted. And the party that got a third of the vote barely got party status in the legislature. That's messed up. No wonder folks tune out of politics if that's the result they get. #onpoli #OntarioVotes #cdnpoli

My city was featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. #fluoridation #yyc #yycc #ableg #abpoli #fluoride It was about fluoridation, and Dr. James Dickinson was quoted. I helped him and a whole host of Calgarians in 2021 to bring back water fluoridation to my home town. It's good to see its […]

So, I'm pretty tech savvy, and I struggled with the Identity+ tool. If you're voting in the #lpcldr leadership race, verify yourself early. It's a bit of a painful process. (I needed to scan my driver's license and my passport and be near my home address...) #cdnpoli #carney2025 #FreeLand […]

Just got a scam call. It was a person purporting to be from Blockchain.com, and sharing that they would release an account with 4.2 bitcoins for a $500 fee. This is called an 'advance' scam, which collects money from a victim and then disappears without fulfilling the promised action. I asked […]
