The Canadian economy grew at an annualized rate of 2.6 per cent in the third quarter in very challenging circumstances. We may have made a good choice in the last federal election.

I’ve used #CanadaNice to pushback against the moniker *someone* gave us of ‘nasty’

On further reflection ‘nice’ is too syrupy. Canadians on the whole are militantly kind.

Canadian kindness gives an assertive middle finger to cruelty, lack of empathy and dehumanizing of others.

#CanadaKind
Canada’s the only country having over 60% with a tertiary education.

This isn’t a numbers competition: it explains Canada’s values, “Education can promote gender equality, reduce child marriage, promote peace”

Education promotes decency.

“Canada Proud, which is tied to Pierre Poilievre, ran disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney during the 2025 election campaign. According to The New York Times, Canada Proud spent at least $250,000 on misleading ads in the lead-up to election day.”

Dear Mark Carney, thank you for bringing us together in Canada.

It's good to be among trusted partners.

This week we strengthen G7 unity.

Next week we open a new era in our strategic partnership at our 🇪🇺🇨🇦 Summit.

With a major step on security and defence cooperation.

ICE is an organization of thugs. The world should be calling them out on their behaviour, which includes apprehending people without due process.

Marc Garneau served this country with determination and dignity. I was honoured to serve in Parliament with him. He represented the best of public service.
He flew to space, now it is time to fly to the angels.

I believe Canada needs to increase its defence spending, not because of some target set by NATO to defend against Russian aggression against eastern Europe but because we need to deter aggression from the US. I also doubt NATO would help defend Canada or Greenland.

While Conservatives downplay the seriousness of measles and spread misinformation about the vaccine, Canada has surpassed 2,500 cases of the disease — the vast majority of which are in Alberta and Ontario.

The CPC needs to put country over party and tell their supporters to vaccinate their kids.
It's high time Conservatives addressed the anti-vax sentiment in their party
Conservatives are the most likely to exhibit anti-vax sentiment -- by far.

“The anti-vax movement in Canada is made up almost entirely of CPC voters. The party has a responsibility to counteract misinformation to keep communities safe.”

Please consider signing the House of Commons petition to require mandatory national security screening for anyone seeking to lead, legislate, or represent our country.

It should not be up to politicians like Poilievre to decide if he wants security clearance.

It should be a requirement of the job.
🚨🚨SIGN AND SHARE🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

It’s official.
Petition e-6489 has been published by the House of Commons and is now live for signature.
And it’s moving fast — because the threat is real, and the time is now.

The libs just won the judicial recount in Terrebonne in Québec by ONE vote. Talk about the importance of not staying home! The libs are now 2 seats short of a majority. Incredible!

The Libs flipped Terrebonne in Québec and took it away from the bloc by 35 votes! If it survived the recount, that is…

I am proud to say that the Liberals did better in my home province of Québec than in 2015 with 43 seats. We significantly contributed to Carney’s victory. The bloc lost many seats. The support for secession is down to about a third. We did slightly better than the 338 Canada projection!

Poilièvre has falsely and repeatedly said that Canada is “broken”. That is disinformation obviously, but our country may start resembling his apocalyptic vision real fast if he becomes prime minister… don’t let him. Vote!
