#PierrePoilievre who lost the federal election and lost his own seat, has a lot of nerve telling the PM "no more losing." As the leader of the opposition, you should stand up for your country for a change. #Dipshit.

When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

Don't worry Mr. Customs dude, I'm not going to visit your war-ravaged USA. #DonaldTrump says it's war-ravaged. Seems he's war-ravaging it.

Super proud of Canada’s Women’s Rugby Team. It was a hard fought championship match that didn’t end their way, but their performance during this tournament has been outstanding.

What a highlight for Canadian women athletes on a world stage.

War-Ravaged? PORTLAND? It was on my USA cities to visit until #DonaldTrump initiated my decision never to cross the US/ #Canada border again.
