Vad?!

The best music correction ever.

@AndrewScheer Attacking the media publicly is not a good look for politicians.

CTV needs to issue a correction: they falsely claimed food inflation was 4.8%. It is 7.3%!!! The worst in the G7. Doubled since Carney took office. Time for the media to stop protecting Carney from accountability for Liberal hunger crisis.

@jordanbateman @DianneWatts4BC Okay. That’s funny.

The NDP have studied forestry to death - literally the only thing keeping any mills open in B.C. is printing their own reports. #bcpoli

@MattIlich I would put education and child care in that category, too.

In most things, I’m staunchly free market, limited govt, but when it comes to healthcare, your ability (or inability) to pay should never be a factor in accessing care/medicine.

@DouglasTodd @Bill_McCreery Homes that young families can, maybe, afford. It’s not 1978.

Sixplex. Going up at corner of West 18th and Musqueamview Way in Vancouver. Subtle. Understated. Integrated. Respectful. (Sorry, can't resist.) #vanre #vanpoli #bcpoli

@cinemaxwell @Knittingrid Also FORECAST is the past tense of “forecast.” 🌛

Please. I beg you. Casted is not a word. The word is cast. Jim was cast in the play. Sebastian Stan was cast in The Batman 2. Back in the day, it was a big surprise when they announced that Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker.

Then there was Covid, and this was the reality of every family with small children.

@pmcondon2 @mattvanswol Right?

@mattvanswol Why are you in my feed.

@ThatEricAlper Yes, Sultans of Swing

You ever listen to a song over and over again just for that one part?

@guyfelicella @AmazingZoltan And a reminder of what this world has lost because we don’t take care of our most vulnerable.

@guyfelicella @AmazingZoltan The question we should ask is what can we do to make your life better so you don’t need to use drugs (if they’re a problem for you).

In Canada, it is legal to advertise and sell cocaine on Facebook but not legal to report the news on Facebook.

For pickleball and raffle enthusiasts… support a good cause in Richmond’s 5C neighbourhood.

I laughed out loud (at the office) over this one @RobShaw_BC: richmond-news.com/economy-law-po…

@FraserInstitute Yes!

Are you doing better financially today than you were five years ago? fraserinstitute.org/commentary/her… #cdnpoli

@MaxwellACameron @MarkJCarney He called it the “Donroe Doctrine” today.

@MarkJCarney This unlawful intervention has potentially serious implications for Canada, which is part of the sphere of interest the US now claims as part of the Trump corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. We should work with allies in the Americas and around the world to resist this aggression.

One of the first actions taken by Canada’s new government in March 2025 was to impose additional sanctions on Nicolás Maduro’s brutally oppressive and criminal regime — unequivocally condemning his grave breaches of international peace and security, gross and systematic human rights violations, and corruption. Canada has not recognised the illegitimate regime of Maduro since it stole the 2018 election. The Canadian government therefore welcomes the opportunity for freedom, democracy, peace, and prosperity for the Venezuelan people. Canada has long supported a peaceful, negotiated, and Venezuelan-led transition process that respects the democratic will of the Venezuelan people. In keeping with our long-standing commitment to upholding the rule of law, sovereignty, and human rights, Canada calls on all parties to respect international law. We stand by the Venezuelan people’s sovereign right to decide and build their own future in a peaceful and democratic society. Canada attaches great importance to resolution of crises through multilateral engagement and is in close contact with international partners about ongoing developments. We are first and foremost ready to assist Canadians through our consular officials and our embassy in Bogotá, Colombia, and will continue to support Venezuelan refugees.
