I admittedly don’t know much about Charlie Kirk, I’m guessing I’m not in his target demographic audience. But why is his assassination being covered as “politics”? He may have had a political message, but he was an entertainer. This blurring between politics and entertainment has to stop.

I didn’t think I could like our Prime Minister more than I already did, but the non-verbal communication from him today was just *chef’s kiss*
watch Carney's reaction as Trump claims America doesn't "do much business" with Canada

Every Canadian watching this debacle unfold… 🤣

I’m not a NHL follower, but was T-rump talking about Alex Ovechkin? Does he think he’s Canadian? 🤣

“I’ve checked with the owners, and Canada is not for sale.” Go Carney!

So relieved.

Go Carney, go!

It’s Election Day, Canada.

Go vote Canada Strong.

👇 this is what worries me. If conservative yahoos were out openly harrassing voters at advance polls I can assure you they are also quietly getting out the vote. We need to do the same! (Vote, not harrass!)
Interesting Canadian election polling news: Conservatives do better when pollsters ask, "How do you think your neighbors will vote?" It's the question that predicted the Brexit result when conventional polls missed it. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

If you think Carney 'has this nailed' and so there is no need to vote, please reconsider. Every vote counts so please don't hand this to the Cons. #CdnPoli

“Rage farming for narrow political gain”

David Cochrane with an emotional description of what the right wing propagandists have done to society.

I couldn’t agree more.

Seriously, he had to throw in “big rallies”. He’s Trump. Ugh.

This segment is stupid, basically 3 minutes for each of the others to attack Carney under the guise of asking a question.

How many years was it again Pierre? Oh right, 10. Thanks.

So far:
- Paikin clearly favouring Poilievre
-despite this, Poilievre interrupting, channeling trump and being obnoxious
-Singh debating like a guy who has nothing to lose 😂
-no idea why blanchett is even on the stage
- carney just seems to be a lot smarter than the other guys.
