NDP needs to build an Orange Wave in the West
The party has been too focused on winning support in Quebec when it should focus on traditional strongholds in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia.

The @ndp.ca need to make some drastic changes after their federal election wipeout. Here’s my take in @hilltimes.com on how they rebuild. #cdnpoli

Thousands came to the rallies in Andover, North Andover & Boxford—but not a single MAGA. It’s a sign they’re either ashamed or scared. Either way, those who did come were part of the millions who made a massive show of resistance to Trump’s fascist attempt to remake America. #NoKings #mapoli

I had the chance to discuss the MAGA North dynamics at play for Canada’s Conservatives. From the great reporting of @lefthandstu.bsky.social
MAGA North is solidly half the Conservative Party—a problem that lasts as long as Trump is president (so, god-willing, no more than 3.5 years) #cdnpoli

Unlocked | Conservatives seize on Liberals’ ‘law-and-order vacuum’ as Trump anxiety wanes, but ‘MAGA North’ comparisons still a concern, say strategists

One of the best parts of my job is recognizing and celebrating awesome people and great things happening in the Commonwealth.
It was an honor to present this recognition from the Auditor to the Commission on Disability at Lawrence’s first Disability Pride Flag Raising. #mapoli

First time I’ve been called a “pundit” and I gotta say, I much prefer being called a goon, henchman, or hack.

The NDP leader presents himself as a boxer 'fighting' for Canadians in a new ad, but caucus could be facing an electoral knockout, says former NDP strategist Matt Chilliak.

The electoral window of opportunity is now, and under Jagmeet Singh, the party is failing to capitalize.

I am all for Wab Kinew taking over the federal NDP. It would be a huge loss for Manitobans, but in my brief dealings with him, he sincerely cares about the people and was quick to respond to my emails with very clear and useful advice. He’d have my vote in a heartbeat.

There's a window of opportunity as the Liberals pick the next captain of their sinking ship. But if the NDP continue as is, they'll struggle to even maintain official party status🧵 #cdnpoli

I’ve lived in the US for 8 years—and as a dual US-Canadian citizen since 2021.
I’ve never felt as un-American as I do today. All that patriotism I accumulated over the years vanished from my being in the span of a few hours.
Fuck you, MAGA, for ruining a beautiful thing.
