What are the forces that defy consensus scientific evidence and proven expert advice? Self-interest, money, politics, under-education, psychological denial, disinformation, hostile foreign intervention, social media algorithms, and dare I say, religion. Science has an uphill battle in 2025.

This is unacceptable.

Hello Doug Ford, Sylvia Jones, CMOH Kieran Moore!!! ANYONE HOME?????????? 🤨 👇 ‘Sharp rise’ in Ontario measles cases with 223 new infections #onpoli #cdnpoli #measles globalnews.ca/news/1115927...

All kidding aside, the biggest reason to keep Poilievre out of Parliament is to change the tone. We can't operate as a civil nation when one party leader exists only to attack the other. Civil debates and factual discussions, not personal attacks and three-word slogans, please.

🔴 WOW... PM Mark Carney’s brilliant post-election BBC interview yesterday, demonstrates so clearly that the PM is more than ready to lead... 🎞️👌🏼 Not just resisting Trump. Not just leading Canada. But also leading the imminent ‘GLOBAL trade and diversification’ restructuring. Exciting times! 🇨🇦 🚀 ✅

Any person that wonders about Healthcare shortages Affordable housing High Utilities High Insurance costs Education shortages Etc. Are all under Provincial responsibility Facts matter

We’re all tired - it’s been a tough election - but make no mistake: this is the new frontline of the fight for our beloved Canada. As a doctor, I watched misinformation quickly impact vaccines, increasing infections. This is moving quickly - we have to move fast to protect Canada. #elbowsup

Pierre Poilievre is living in a 19 room mansion with a $215,090 annual budget for his chef and groundskeepers. It is paid by the taxpayer for “Leader of the Opposition IN the House of Commons”. Pierre is freeloading on the taxpayer's dime. #stornowaysquatter #packtheshack

On the dysregulation of the immune system after infection resulting in #LongCovid, 2 new studies @natimmunol.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This has to change. NOW.

Canada’s mainstream media wanted a disinformation-spewing rage-baiter to become our next prime minister. Legacy media chose not to call Pierre Poilievre out on his lies this election. And he still lost. Canada’s mainstream media has a Conservative bias

Here's some advice from the guy who has never had a job in the real world. Now about that 19-room taxpayer funded mansion you live in Pierre.... #evictthesquatter

Well when you put it that way ... #canadaunited #freshstart #newbeginnings

Things I don't like file: - Police assn cozying up to a political party - Leaders who lose their riding bribing a winning candidate to step down and hand over their seat. - Losing parties questioning the integrity of an election - Premiers talking separation right after their side loses federally.

Someone may step aside and give him their seat, you think ?? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

For anyone wondering why CBC still hasn't called a minority/majority government for the Liberals, it's because the party is only four SEATS away from a majority -- and there are about 11 ridings yet to be called where the margins suggest a flip is possible. We'll see what happens!

Dear Mark Carney Congratulations on your victory. You embody a strong Canada in the face of today’s challenges. France is glad to further strengthen the friendship which unites our two countries. I’m looking forward to working with you — "elbow to elbow!" - Emanuel Macron #CanadaStrong

Your immune system isn't a Tamagotchi that dies if you don't play with it. "Immunity debt" is a marketing term to make you blame yourself instead of bad policy. Getting sick constantly isn't normal — it’s a public health failure.

Every time you get Covid you likely spread it to others & can cause it to spread to hundreds. Some of those may die. Some may get long covid. 60% don’t know it. 20% of those will have symptoms later. 40% will never know it or the harm they caused.

If you are seeing polls with the Liberals in the lead so you don't think your vote today matters, it does. So much. Please vote. #ElbowsUp #ViveLeCanada

I hope Mark Carney flushes out all the US media that is polluting our Country. Time to shut them down and make them properly label themselves as Propagnada Outlets.

It’s Election Day, Canada. Go vote Canada Strong.

Sending kids into poorly ventilated schools and acting shocked when they get sick is like tossing them in a pool and being surprised they’re wet.

I’ve been saying this for months: Trump is just the mirror. It’s the people around us who are even worse. Who votes for a convicted felon? A rapist? Not someone duped — someone without a moral compass.

This election is not about Trump. It is about standing up for Canada and defying the rage-baiters, conspiracy trolls and those who trash our nation to score points. This election is about you Pierre Poilievre. We reject your hate politics. Canadians do your best. Don't accept the worst.

Musk's X is a huge platform that is supporting Poilievre and attacking Carney. In my opinion this large a difference is unlikely to be due to real Canadian voter preferences. X has and will help close the gap between the two candidates. Carney needs every vote. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli www.ft.com/content/743c...

“Mark Carney has an advantage over Pierre Poilievre on nearly all of Canadians’ top issues. Carney is preferred by 25 points on handling the U.S. trade relationship, 23 points on growing non-U.S. trade and 13 points on improving healthcare.”

I am so grateful for this genuine human at moments like this. We Canadians are truly fortunate to have him at the helm, a steady hand through turbulent times.

“An analysis of 350,000 Twitter posts reveals a coordinated campaign to support Pierre Poilievre and attack Mark Carney’s reputation. This election isn’t about choosing a prime minister, or resisting Trump — it’s about fighting for democracy itself.” An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

"I'm not informed about the issues." Talk to people you trust. "Trump is joking." He's absolutely not. “The polls say...” The polls don't matter. "The parties are all the same." They're absolutely not. “It doesn’t matter who wins." It matters very much to someone you care about. #CanadaVotes
