After eight long years of the Ford Conservatives, Ontarians deserve better. They’re so out of touch that they don’t even know the basics. See for yourself 👇

Yesterday in Belleville, one thing was impossible to ignore: Doug Ford’s budget ignores what people actually need. Belleville’s community members are worried about real affordability relief, homelessness, mental health and addictions, and education — and this disastrous budget delivers none of it.

Proud to join the Readiness Committee supporting @LFairclo as she considers a run for @OntLiberal leader. Lee is a strong, inclusive leader with real-world experience, sound judgment, and a clear focus on what matters to Ontarians. We can do so much better. #onpoli

This International Women’s Day, I’m reflecting on the women who raised the ceiling for all of us and have shown us what leadership looks like. I’m deeply grateful for the team that has stepped up to support me as I consider the Ontario Liberal Leadership. Ontario deserves strong leadership. Join us and together we can build a better province together. // En cette Journée internationale des femmes, je prends un moment pour réfléchir aux femmes qui ont repoussé les limites et élevé les ambitions pour chacune de nous, en nous montrant ce que signifie véritablement le leadership. Je suis profondément reconnaissante envers l’équipe qui s’est mobilisée pour me soutenir alors que je réfléchis à la possibilité de me présenter à la direction du Parti libéral de l’Ontario. L’Ontario mérite un leadership fort. Joignez-vous à nous, et ensemble, construisons une province meilleure. #onpoli #IWD2026 #GiveToGain

CBC has not called the type of Liberal government because, and it's insane, there's technically a path to 172 for the Liberals all thanks to those massive advance votes

Congrats @RunChiNguyenRun So great to see you head to Ottawa!

Comparing the 2021 and 2025 vote shares by riding and party. Both LPC and CPC up nearly everywhere. BQ down, and Greens and NDP way down. Complete collapse of PPC.

Jagmeet Singh has announced his resignation as NDP leader. He said he'll step down upon the selection of an interim leader #cdnpoli #cdnelxn

Jamil Jivani tears a strip off Doug Ford "And all his goons around him all the time, they wouldn't make anything better." "He has taken the provincial Conservative Party and turned it into something hollow, unprincipled, something that doesn't solve problems." "He's glad handing with Chrystia Freeland, having coffees and lattes with Mark Carney, and I'm sitting here saying we need to be fighting for change in something new and something different."

Jamil Jivani on Doug Ford on CBC right now:

A lot of ridings still too close and the advance polls will determine the final outcome

Big congrats to @lesliechurch who will be an amazing MP and representative for Toronto St Paul’s

Canadians chose positivity over negativity, unity over division, and substance over slogans

Looks like the Conservative vote is up everywhere, but the Liberals are up more in places where there were NDP (and maybe Bloc) votes to cannibalize. The NDP might be the collateral damage that allows the Liberals to reach towards a majority. #CanadaElections2025

Liberals now up to +11 in Newfoundland, and about to flip Terra Nova back. Sean Fraser now leading. Leading in Miramichi. Closing the gap in Cumberland. The Liberals might actually come out of Atlantic Canada with more seats than in 2021, despite that panicked first hour.

One of the stories of this election will be the very real inroads that Conservatives have made with young people

Liberals leading popular vote in Quebec by 8 points on these early small polls, despite not much coming in from Montreal yet. Losing a few Atlantic seats isn't great, but Quebec (and to some extent BC) is where the majority will be won or lost.
