@KerryDiotte What are you talking about? Every leadership race, the win goes to the first person who gets over 50% of the vote. To do it in the first round, with more people running against you, is a clear indication you're the leader the party wants. In a leadership review, 1/

The mainstream media are shamelessly anti-Conservative. See headline in the Hill Times when Pierre won his leadership vote. Other media took a similar approach.

@Arturmaks @ItsDeanBlundell who they're trying to call out. And somehow, anti pedophilia sentiment stances are being changed into anti-Semitic views. I don't think that helps anyone. 2/2

@Arturmaks @ItsDeanBlundell And I'm supposed to know you're a Jew how??? I'm all for calling out people who are weaponizing the phrase, but the last couple of days, posts on here are full of people who (I think) are trying to defend the position who are sounding more anti-Semitic than the people 1/

Yeah. So he owes you, and your organization absolutely NOTHING. HES TALIKG ABOUT Epstein being a pedophile and Trump and his regime being his associates. Therefore. Epstein Pedophile class. You want to defend Epstein who raped and trafficked thousands of children because he’s Jewish? Are you fucking kidding me? So you make this about aunt semitism, not about the man? Get the fuck out of here.

@Arturmaks @ItsDeanBlundell Epstein class isn't steeped in historic anti-Semitism. Heck, I didn't even realize Epstein was a Jew until they started making a big deal out of it, and the names that spring to mind when I think about the Epstein class definitely aren't Jewish.

@ItsDeanBlundell Fuck you Dean for not shutting up long enough to hear this isn’t about defending Trump of Epstein. It’s about knowing how to criticize without using words that are deeply steeped in historic antisemitism. It’s about not punching a people when they are vulnerable.

@Tara22221 @sarobertsonca Smiling is easy when you don't care about someone else's response. Being pleasant invests less energy than creating friction when it comes to someone you're going to instantly dismiss from your mind as soon as you walk away from them. 🤷‍♀️

@sarobertsonca what a liar - he would not be wearing that shit-eating grin constantly if he wasn't interested in being liked.

Wab Kinew on his support of Avi Lewis potentially hurting his popularity: "I was never popular as a kid, so I don't spend much time thinking about popularity now."

@bnaibrithcanada @WabKinew I, for one, wasn't even aware that Epstein was Jewish. It's not a pertinent detail. Same with Maxwell. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that. Can we please leave it at addressing the corruption, and not globalize it to an entire race? 4/4

@bnaibrithcanada @WabKinew impossible to distinguish between the people who are expressing anti-Semitic sentiments and the people who are trying to call them out. They're not sounding much different, because all of a sudden the whole issue of a pedophilia ring has become about the Jews. 3/

Premier Wab Kinew owes the Jewish community, and the public at large, an immediate apology. Speaking at the federal NDP convention, @WabKinew attacked U.S. policy by declaring, “Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein war.” That line was an invocation of a loaded and poisonous antisemitic dog-whistle which has gained traction around north America over the past months. The idea that sinister, powerful Jewish elites are manipulating events from behind the scenes. When public figures reach for that kind of language, they enter the territory of classic antisemitic conspiracy rhetoric, whether they choose to acknowledge it or not. Jews have lived with the consequences of these narratives for generations – the content changes, the narrative does not. Premier Kinew used that frame in a major public address. That is profoundly reckless, and wholly unacceptable from a premier. He must apologize clearly, publicly, and without qualification. He must also undertake formal training on antisemitism, which B’nai Brith is prepared to facilitate, so that he understands the history of these tropes, the damage they cause, and the responsibility elected officials bear when they speak on matters touching Jewish safety and dignity. Leadership requires judgment. On this occasion, Wab Kinew showed a serious lack of it.

@MarkDoRichards @CanadianPolling NP. And it is an important case. Laws like the EA give extraordinary powers to the government, and are only held to account after the fact. And decisions made now will shape how it can be invoked in the future - which in all likelihood, will be for more than a few days.

@shortstuffpb @CanadianPolling I'm going to actually thank you for the tone of this discussion. I actually learned something and improved my understanding of an important court proceeding.

"Do you think invoking the Emergencies Act to deal with protests and blockades against Covid restrictions and mandates were..." Justified: 59% Unjustified: 28% Research Co / March 17, 2026

@MarkDoRichards @CanadianPolling I'm not sure why the civil justice groups acting as interveners didn't use the Bill of Rights. They're all familiar with it. And the court wasn't short of advice for changes to the regulations regarding the freezes, even though they didn't find them illegal.

@shortstuffpb @CanadianPolling And, the respondents that did have their accounts frozen didn't raise Bill of Rights provisions: 1 (a) the right of the individual to life, liberty, security of the person and enjoyment of property, and the right not to be deprived thereof except by due process of law;

@Roman_Baber We're not violating CUSMA. 🙄

Mark Carney will violate CUSMA by importing vehicles that are made with forced Labour. Our best auto customer, the USA, will not tolerate this. Carney is prepared to kill Canada's auto manufacturing industry to please Chairman Xi Jinping!

@whodini76 @LukaszukAB to political parties, constituency offices and MLA's 2/2

@whodini76 @LukaszukAB If you check that box, you do allow the federal government to share with Elections Alberta. However, the province keeps it's own Register of Electors. If you register, even when you vote, your name will be on there until you ask to have it removed. That list is available 1/

They didn’t text me. It was passed onto me by someone who was texted. I’m not sure if they wish to receive my response to this survey.

@MarkDoRichards @CanadianPolling No. The section held on the search part of it. The sharing of information with the RCMP and CSIS.

@shortstuffpb @CanadianPolling I think you might be referring to the court's finding that the seizures were not in violation of the privacy rights of the affected individuals. It was most certainly a seizure or that section of the case seems like it would have been tossed out at the merits stage.

@MarkDoRichards @CanadianPolling It was argued that it was. The court elected to go with it was not a seizure because the government wasn't confiscating the funds.

@shortstuffpb @CanadianPolling The bank account freezes were considered to be a seizure and were measured against the Constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure. It's complicated, so I can be wrong ... 1/2

@truckerowl @coreyhoganyyc Alberta tends to be low. BC high, and the rest in between. It does suck if the dollar's low if you're down in the States, though. 😔

@shortstuffpb @coreyhoganyyc I can’t remember it going above 105c in 14, so your numbers are probably from metro Vancouver area where taxes are insane. Regardless I work down south so I know what my c$ is worth now compared to then, and it’s crap, really bad. I can’t justify eating out half the time

Hi Pierre, Gas in Canada has been higher priced than gas in the U.S. my entire life - for lots of reasons including market size, economies of scale and, yes, taxes. But it has nothing to do with any recent tax changes. In fact, a gap of 18% would be among the lowest on record.

@MarkDoRichards @CanadianPolling 🤔 I wouldn't consider it to be a disaster. It was the first time putting it to the test. You can't learn and refine until you do that. And it's far better than the old War Measures Act that totally striped rights. It still has a final challenge in the Supreme Court.

@shortstuffpb @CanadianPolling and the regulations under it also failed in being constitutional. It was a disaster.

@MarkDoRichards @CanadianPolling That was true

@shortstuffpb @CanadianPolling and there was no mechanism for those improperly affected to make an appeal.

@MarkDoRichards @CanadianPolling Look at it again. They didn't consider it to be a seizure.

@shortstuffpb @CanadianPolling If you look at it again, the courts only accepted that the seizure of assets of people actively demonstrating was reasonable. The decision goes on at length to demonstrate how the scoping, guidance and execution of the seizure order were problematic
