@Quea_Ali @cselley Probably people are just voting for the party, not the candidate - which makes this floor crossing soooo appalling.

@dodle @cselley I've always disliked her and wondered how people could vote for her specifically.

What exactly do the Liberals want to do that they can't do now that would necessitate recruiting Marilyn Gladu, of all people?

@EvanLSolomon 😂😂😂😂

I’m excited to welcome Marilyn Gladu as she joins our Liberal team in building a stronger, more united Canada. I’ve known Marilyn for a long time, and she’s spent years fighting for her community in Sarnia. It was great to be with her today and see that same energy and commitment as she steps into this next chapter, working alongside Prime Minister Carney to help build Canada strong. It’s time to build. Welcome to the team, Marilyn. 🇨🇦 Je suis ravi d'accueillir Marilyn Gladu au sein de notre équipe libérale, alors que nous travaillons ensemble à bâtir un Canada plus fort et plus uni. Je connais Marilyn depuis longtemps, et elle a passé des années à se battre pour sa communauté à Sarnia. C'était formidable d'être avec elle aujourd'hui et de voir cette même énergie et cet engagement alors qu'elle entame ce nouveau chapitre, aux côtés du Premier ministre Carney, pour bâtir un Canada fort. Il est temps de bâtir. Bienvenue dans l'équipe, Marilyn.

Steven Guilbeault seeing Marilyn Gladu walk into the caucus meeting:

@ABDanielleSmith Imagine a train service like this for Alberta! But slower, less convenient, over budget build, expensive fares, drivers that strike every year, and of course the trains will be dead ugly. lol I’m losing faith we can ever accomplish anything decent that we can be proud of. 😔

Today I had the opportunity to take the Hayabusa high speed train from Tokyo to Sapporo. Topping out at 320 km/h, Shinkansen trains like these allow both locals and tourists to cross the country in just hours. If Alberta had one we could get between Calgary and Edmonton in less than an hour! We are currently developing a Passenger Rail Master Plan for the province. More information on what it might look like is available at alberta.ca/passenger-rail

@MarilynGladuSL @sunlorrie Not sure you should be feeling proud. Your actions are an absolute betrayal of the people that voted for you and everyone that worked on your campaign. You should be feeling ashamed. This was pure selfishness.

Proud to be the newest member of our new Liberal Government.

@Prairielily22 Yeah, the NDP are absolutely weird crazy. Cult vibes.

Watching the videos of the NDP convention, I'm just shocked at how weird and creepy and insane the NDP has become. I say this as someone who spent 11 years as an ardent NDP member from 2006 to 2017. They are just batshit crazy now. Most normal people have left the party. I really hope many of the still existing NDP voters watch the videos of the convention being shown online because that will turn them off of the NDP completely. I bet Carla Beck and Naheed Nenshi are really really hoping voters in their provinces don't see the videos because unfortunately for them, most voters have difficulty differentiating between federal and provincial--all they'll see is that the NDP has gone bonkers.

@jkenney @colewhogan The media is giving this a lot of airtime. I feel like this is now just a campaign to show Quebec how much the Liberal Party cares about their language laws ahead of the upcoming by-election.

I await Governor General Mary Simon's condolence video in French. Why do the Liberals hold the CEO of Air Canada to a higher standard of bilingualism than their own appointee as Governor General, who hasn't learned French after four years in the role? TBH, I would rather have the CEO of our flagship carrier focusing his scarce time on safety and reliability than language training.

@TristinHopper 💯

One thing I feel I understand better than most coming from the West Coast. Behind the exterior of people loudly claiming to be kind, accepting and empathetic is some of the most vicious and profound hate I've ever encountered.

@MNavarroGenie Has she created one of these vids for Quebec I wonder…

This video embodies the condescending progressive Laurentian attitude toward Albertans. It features an Ontario teacher mocking our premier and Albertans for wanting to secede from Canada but allegedly not knowing what secession means. The teacher is wrong on every one of her seven points, but it is hardly worth refuting them individually once you notice that she cannot even spell the key word she is pontificating about: Alberta sepEration. Ontario education for the win.

If words were results, Canada would be a global superpower.

@ryanjespersen Teachers need to keep their personal political opinions out of the classroom. The stories I’ve heard from the younger generation about some teachers and how much time they spend ranting about current politics is disappointing.

The only profanity here is a single reference to “Fuck Trudeau” bumper stickers. We’re all of a sudden clutching pearls on those? Come on now. I’d be interested to hear the full version of this teacher’s comments on political diversity in Alberta.

@jenniferelle_ Do we know who he was talking to? 🤯

Metis Nation Saskatchewan Regional Director allegedly caught on voice recordings acting completely unhinged. This is the same “government” that receives over 100 million dollars a year from the federal government. #cdnpoli #cdnpolitics

The Western liberal media is ignoring the Iranian uprising because explaining it would force an admission it is desperate to avoid: the Iranian people are rebelling against Islam itself, and that fact shatters the moral framework through which these institutions understand the world. Ideally, to cover an uprising is not just to show crowds and slogans. It requires answering a basic question: why are people risking death? In Iran, the answer is simple and unavoidable. The people are rising up because the Islamic Republic of Iran has spent decades suffocating every aspect of life—speech, work, family, art, women, and economic survival—under a clerical system that treats liberty as a crime. There is no way to tell that story without confronting the nature of the regime. Western media refuses to do so because it has fundamentally misunderstood Islam. Or worse, it has chosen not to understand it. Islam, in Western progressive discourse, has been racialized. It is treated not as a belief system or a political ideology, but as a stand-in for race or ethnicity. Criticizing Islam is framed as an attack on “brown people,” Arabs, or “the Middle East,” as if Islam were a skin color rather than a doctrine. This confusion is rooted in historical illiteracy. Western liberal media routinely collapses entire civilizations into a single stereotype: “all Middle Easterners are Arabs,” “all Arabs are Muslim,” and “all Muslims are a monolithic, oppressed identity group by white European colonizers.” Iranians disappear entirely in this framework. Their language, history, and culture—Persian, not Arab; ancient, not colonial; distinct, not interchangeable—are erased. By treating Islam as a racial identity rather than an ideology, Western media strips millions of people of their ability to reject it. Iranian protesters become unintelligible. Their rebellion cannot be processed without breaking the rule that Islam must not be criticized. So instead of listening to Iranians, the media speaks over them—or ignores them entirely. There is another reason the Iranian uprising is so threatening to Western media is economic issues. As you know, Iran is not only a religious dictatorship. It is a centrally controlled, state-dominated economy where markets are strangled, private enterprise is criminalized or co-opted, and economic survival depends on proximity to political power. Decades of price controls, subsidies, nationalization, and bureaucratic micromanagement have obliterated the middle class and entrenched corruption as the only functional system. The result is not equality or justice. It is poverty, stagnation, and dependence on government’s dark void of empty promises. Covering Iran honestly would require acknowledging that these policies are harmful. They have been tried. They have failed. Catastrophically. This is deeply inconvenient for Western media institutions that routinely promote expansive state control, centralized economic planning, and technocratic governance as morally enlightened alternatives to liberal capitalism. Iran demonstrates where such systems lead when insulated from accountability and enforced by ideology. It shows that when the state controls livelihoods, non-conformity becomes existentially dangerous. That lesson cannot be acknowledged without undermining the moral authority of those who advocate similar ideas in softer language. Western liberal media prefers not to hear this. Acknowledging it would require abandoning the lazy moral categories that dominate modern discourse: oppressor and oppressed, colonizer and colonized, white and non-white. Iranian protesters do not fit. They show that authoritarianism is not a Western invention imposed from outside, but something many societies are actively trying to escape. That is what terrifies Western liberal media. And that is why the Iranian people are being ignored. So the silence continues.

@KristinRaworth “hard pants” 😂 I totally get that. I hate hard pants in winter.

I’ve put on hard pants and perfume so my dogs know I’m leaving them and they are now looking at me like I’ve betrayed them.

@jkenney Why did the Obama Administration object to the sharing of intelligence?

He was 💯 right. Every single word. When I was Minister of Defence, we shared critical satellite intelligence with the Ukrainians *over the objections* of the Obama Administration.

@MeghanEMurphy This seems to me to be a publicity stunt to try to A) put Katy Perry back in the spotlight after her stalled career, and B) launch Trudeau’s Hollywood celebrity status. Both of them eager to be in the spotlight and trying to become relevant again.

I do not believe this is real. x.com/PopCrave/statu…

David Bowie on addiction. Words of wisdom. He was such a beautiful human being.

@WayneMathison @bruceanderson @MarcMillerVM 💯

It’s telling when a “veteran pollster” calls Marc Miller “one of the very best people in politics” while hundreds of replies are saying the opposite. As Immigration Minister he helped drive record intake with no serious plan for housing, healthcare, or infrastructure. Rents exploded, ER waits got worse, and a lot of newcomers ended up under-employed while Canadians were told to just “be compassionate.” That’s not excellence, that’s exactly how we got into this mess. And now Mark Carney brings him back from a 2025 demotion and hands him a brand-new “Minister of Canadian Identity” title, replacing Guilbeault, as if the problem in this country is branding instead of policy failure. Ottawa keeps recycling the people who broke key files and the insiders cheer it on as “an excellent choice.” Name one measurable file Miller actually improved: housing availability, ER wait times, job outcomes for newcomers, anything. All moved in the wrong direction while he was in charge. This isn’t about whether he’s a “nice guy,” it’s about competence and results. Your praise sounds like insider loyalty, not what people on the ground are living through.

@thchris1958 22 Minutes should be cancelled because it’s not funny.

@PierrePoilievre But your supporters want to cancel 22 minutes

To double my political productivity and vote count, I have cloned myself. Watch Pierre Poilievre, both of them, address admirers in the press gallery.
