I had many nick names, including “Landslide Lukaszuk”, but “Captain Canada” will take a while to get used to.😃

This gentleman just gave me that new nickname and presented me with my own key to Canada.

Thank you, Sir!

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

#cdnpoli #cdnpolitics A PM must represent all Canadians by speaking and acting ONLY in the best interests of our entire population. Poilievre is not fit to be PM as he cannot do that, so he is employing the #populistagenda of dividing and conquering Canadians in a failing attempt to gain power.

Premier Ed Stelmach, thank you for donating a tank of gas for the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus and for joining us at the Andrew garlic festival 🧄 That’s what principled leadership is all about.

Volunteers, thank you for braving the cold and collecting signatures!

Did you know that the first Canadian ‘Thanksgiving’ predates the first American one by 43 years?

Yep, we did it first.

The Conservative playbook: “Always accuse others of the things you are guilty of”.

PP fraudulently claims to be fighting against elites from his Ottawa mansion and taxpayer paid life of luxury.

Jesus speaks about helping strangers and others in need:
"I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you welcomed me; I was naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you cared for me; I was in prison, and you visited me.
Truly, whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me."

The ChristoFascist Trump regime really needs to read a Bible.

When RCMP Sergeant pulls up behind the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus, it’s not to write a ticket, it’s to sign the petition.

Thank you, Officer!!!

This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all
