À better measure of the US economy would be how the bottom 33% are making do on their income, rather than how the top 10% are making do in the stock market.

It's the end of April and it is 7 degrees at #Wonderland. The park is full of teens in hoodies. It is so quintessentially #Canadian that it should be recorded as a Heritage Minute. 🇨🇦

Opening day at #Wonderland! The #Starbucks kids are struggling a bit with a tough new job. Most people have been lovely and patient 🥰. If you haven't been, shame on you 🤨. You aren't going to die if you have to wait for your coffee. It is, at worst, an inconvenience. Kids - you're doing great! ☕️👊🏻

“loss of interest may partly come from subtle language cues children hear…language cues don’t come from just parents; they can also come via media they consume or in school that treats science as an identity rather than a process.”

Keeping Kids Interested in Science Is a Matter of Language
As children get older, their understanding of science and being a scientist changes. The words adults use are a critical part of keeping them engaged in discovery

Yet another fact-checked lie by Poilievre (he also lied about 200,000 affordable homes built under his govt; it was 4,000). The percentage of people’s income that are taxes has remained unchanged since 2016:

I tried to have an open mind because I know that PP's mannerisms annoy me. Trudeau's did, too, honestly. However, even with an open mind, I don't agree with his approach to moving us forward over the next 4 years. I feel like he is a throwback politician, not the person to elevate us. #Debate2025

I really like Singh. His policies address the problems that I see in my community. I also like Carney. Sadly, in my riding, there is virtually no chance that Liberals or NDP will win the seat.

Selling off federal lands for home building — as Poilievre wants to do — is a bad idea. Keeping them and building affordable homes on — as the NDP wants to do — is a good idea.

People asking why Singh would attack both Carney and Poilievre while sometimes defending Carney; the answer could be it's because he is saying things he believes to do be true.

I miss having Elizabeth May on the debate stage. I feel like a coalition with her, Carney, and Singh would be ideal for setting us up for an excellent economy that is focused on supporting the average citizen while protecting the environment. #Debate2025

If I took a shot every time PP said "Lost Liberal Decade," in this debate, I'd be on life support by now.

I am glad that Carney plans to cut the subsidies to oil and gas. I am from a mining town where the companies walked away with the profits and left a BILLION dollar clean-up for the Canadian Treasurey Department. #Debate2025

Singh did an excellent off-the-cuff cost-benefit analysis of PP's proposed tax cuts and the services that would be lost. And, Carney's agreement with him made me feel like I was watching 2 mature, thoughtful adults. #Debate2025

I would love to see Singh and Carney lead us together. Singh's understanding of what makes communities safe and strong, and Carney's putative ability to make it happen would be an incredible combination for us as citizens. #Debate2025
