Just saw a “person who does not wash their legs” in real life. There was a very clear ring around their lower leg and above the sock line🤢🤢🤢. He was in clean designer clothes.

Pierre the ghoul learning to be specific when you pray. He got the fame he so badly wanted, but for all the wrong reasons🤣🤣🤣! His fumble will be one for the history books. Get packing!

I love that his opponent’s name is FanJOY! Such a happy sounding name 😄. Joy beats smug any day!

Too many people who don’t know enough/anything about Canada opining about the election. General purpose punditry should be taken with a giant punch of salt. If the person wasn’t posting about Canadian politics over 6 mo ago…🚩🚩🚩

Amusing that even non-Canadians are now watching the results for Carleton and for one reason only😄.

A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives. The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.

Americans- before you opine about Canada’s election (or tell us how to vote) please educate yourselves on our system of government🤭🤭🤭.

Not surprising. Using the pain of the Vancouver Filipino community to try and score votes within hours of a tragedy. They have no sense of shame, they lack empathy or kindness. They can’t help themselves.

Corporate leaders are obsessing over GDP per capita. But, if you look at just about any number that would meaningfully tell you how well our economy is doing, Canada does better than the U.S. @mendelmatt.bsky.social @jimstanford.bsky.social #alwayscanada #never51 #gdp #cdnpoli #cdnecon

Hmmm, they rally around a man that most young women won’t vote for (and not just because he creeps them out). Is the problem ‘the system’ or the young men?

Here’s @justinling.ca profile of Poilievre in @foreignpolicy.com. Among its many merits it contains the line “In an interview last year with conspiracy-minded Canadian influencer Jordan Peterson, Poilievre insisted that the West was affected by ‘this horrendous utopian wokeism.’”

I hate to say it but I am not yet convinced Canadians won’t hand the Conservative Party an election win. Worried there are too many eligible voters who won’t vote, who are not engaged at all. Very online people may not realize it but many people are checked out on politics.

Can Mark Carney be brave with his policy. Canadians are game, so please don’t patronize us. We can meet the moment. Just not through some tame tax cuts and an “elbows up” hashtag🤷🏽‍♀️.

See how long before Canadian pundits take their contrarian anti-Carney stances to tell us that he is “just as bad” as Poilievre or how they don’t think he has what it takes to beat the Maple MAGA. Don’t let that crap discourage you. Let’s ensure the Tories do not form a government.

Watching Trump roll over an entire country, it's impossible to avoid the obvious conclusion: the vast majority of Americans are cowards.

What happens next? Carney will be invited to form a govt by the GG. Carney will be the Prime Minister-designate during a transition period (could be really fast or a few days). Once the transition is over, Trudeau formally resigns as Prime Minister, and Carney is appointed PM.

I hope Karina Gould would be in a Mark Carney government. She is what’s good about public service in Canada and we need more like her.

Over to you Mark Carney!

Whoever wins the Liberal party leadership, I hope they can find the right balance between common sense policy and pugnaciousness to 🥊🥊🥊 the Maple MAGA dreams of the CPC Sloganeer.

In this moment of crisis, I wanted to share a story about three Canadian heroes, Delwin Vriend, Sheila Greckol, and Doug Stollery, who won the fight for LGBQT rights in Canada, and established a precedent adopted around the world. www.ualberta.ca/en/law/event.... #LGBQT #yeg #Edmonton #Alberta

You already have. Most of you are just too blinded by a lack of international media coverage to realize it. Your country is literally now the greatest threat to global democracy this generation has ever seen, and the remaining democracies of the world will react accordingly.

It feels like a lot of handwringing “don’t hate me, I hate him too” Americans are waiting for some superhero to save them. It’s not a movie! Stop asking the rest of the world to feel sorry for you because you’re ‘good people’. Do something else. Anything! Show it! Resist, make ‘good trouble’!

People wanting Canada to strip Elon of his citizenship- I get it. But: unless he obtained it fraudulently, it is a slippery slope when you start choosing who is/isn’t Canadian on moral grounds or ‘cause you don’t like them. If he breaks a Canadian law, charge him. Otherwise, accept he is our ghoul🤷🏽‍♀️.

I don’t think many cared toooo much about Hockey 4Nations before all the US annexation and tarrif threats. Just heard some very loud cheers in downtown Vancouver 😁😁😁! 🇨🇦!
