@storriehudcon Can't speak for every part of Canada but it's the way we pronounce it in Manitoba.

is this not the right way to say it….. or am i just canadian

@rightblend The nature of being a history instructor is that I don't judge immigration by the bubble that followed Covid. We had two years where immigration levels were too high. Those levels have been rolled back. Overall, immigration has built Canada and will continue to build it.

@DaleBarbour It's not a conspiracy theory that mass immigration has caused enormous harm to this country both to its identity and to its economic prosperity. You must be a shit professor.

It is not possible to solve Canada's crises without a major reversal to immigration policies of the last 10 plus years. It is not possible to solve the healthcare crisis, the jobs crisis, the housing crisis, the crime crisis, or the cost of living crisis otherwise.

@sarobertsonca If the Liberals promise one pipeline, we will promise two. We will not only reduce gas taxes, but provide a stipend for everyone who drives.

Pierre Poilievre: "We must be unabashed defenders of oil and gas. Everywhere on earth where fossil fuel use has risen, life expectancies and living standards have grown. More is better for Canada and for the world. And we will keep fighting for it."

@sarobertsonca PostMedia: " It's like we don't even exist."

Pierre Poilievre: "The club of Liberal elites who dominate this town and every microphone in it. They dominate the political panels and talk shows. They control the airwaves. All of this to enhance their privilege. And that is exactly why they want to stop and change me."

@julia_doubleday Vader hates sand. He was very clear about that.

It’s always weird how they were like “we must hide the twins where Vader will never find them” and Leia gets put into ultra witness protection as some foreign princess and Luke they’re just like um give him to Vader’s mom’s stepson on their home planet, he probably won’t check

Toronto needs to step up and put a stop to Ford's plans. Toronto's waterfront works because it has managed to strike a balance between industrial use, commercial use, housing, and recreational use. Scaling up Billy Bishop will break that balance.

@DavidColetto I don't think anyone believes Donald Trump wasn't a pivotal factor in the last election. Declaring a trade war and talking about annexation will do that. Now? I think Carney gets credit for where Liberals stand and Poilievre gets credit for where the CPC sit.

New Abacus Data polling tests a simple question: does U.S. leadership shape Canadian vote choice? The answer is mostly no, with only minimal shifts in support. abacusdata.ca/hypothetical-t…

@RealEmirHan He's right! They should have had a magical jumbotron.

Kit Harrington claims "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has "plot holes" "It's not a great tournament to watch. They don't get to see underwater, can't see in the maze, I don't see what's in it for rest of the school?"

@CoryBMorgan Well, the drinking binges would get a lot of coverage.

It doesn't matter anymore. If the Conservatives could reincarnate Sir John A. Macdonald as a leader, the Laurentian establishment along with legacy media outlets would rip him to shreds while Central Canada elects Liberals yet again.

The US didn't count on Britain actually leaning in to keep the BNA territory and only certain sections of the US were committed to the War. If there had been more US interest, less British interest, and no Indigenous interest the war would have ended differently. 3/3

The area south of the Great Lakes was still in a state of flux and Britain's Indigenous allies saw the war as a chance to keep a space of independence between British territory and US territory. 2/

If we're being honest; 1812 was a mess. The US was angry at Britain for press ganging its sailors and blocking trade during the Napoleonic wars. It wanted to punish Britain and Canada was the closest target. 1/

@CityNewsTO Maple MAGAs: Alas, yes we DO suck. Thank you for that unbiased opinion, US trade negotiator. We'll push our country to be more complaint for you.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick attacked Canada’s trade strategy today, adding, “They suck.” toronto.citynews.ca/2026/04/17/the…

@paulvieira The opening round of negotiations when dealing with Team Trump.

"They suck," said Commerce Secretary Lutnick about Canada, according to a report from Semafor. semafor.com/article/04/17/…

@nationalpost Maple MAGAs storming in here to announce: A) This is not true! They've been making three times the trips to the US and are always surrounded by other Canadians B) This is happening because Canadians are too poor to travel (despite travel to international locations being up.)

Canadian visits to the United States declined sharply, falling 22 per cent in the first half of 2025 over the previous year nationalpost.com/news/canada/ca…

@DimitrisSoudas It's like PostMedia doesn't even exist.

Let's be clear about something: mainstream media has never been conservative-friendly. Not today, not 10 years ago, not 30 years ago when I started in this business. That's not new information. And it certainly didn't stop conservatives from forming government repeatedly when we earned it. So no, media attacks are not proof of relevance. They're background noise we've always operated in. More importantly conservatism in Canada is alive and well. But let's actually define what that means, because it gets thrown around too loosely. True conservatism is fiscal responsibility: balanced budgets, lower taxes, getting government out of the way of people who want to build, invest, and succeed. It's personal responsibility over state dependency. It's law and order the belief that safe communities are the foundation of a free society. It's a principled foreign policy grounded in national interest, strong alliances, and a belief that Canada must carry its weight in the world. It's respect for institutions, for the constitution, for the rule of law. It's defending individual freedoms against an ever-expanding state. These ideas resonate deeply with millions of Canadians urban and rural, new and old, French and English. The question was never whether conservatism has a future in Canada. It absolutely does. The question is whether we are articulating it clearly, honestly, and compellingly enough to win the trust of those Canadians. And to do that, we must always question ourselves. A movement that confuses media hostility with political momentum, that mistakes noise for strength, is a movement headed for complacency. We've seen where that leads. We never rest on our laurels. That's what real conservatives do.

@David_Moscrop He's quick on his feet and can jump into unscripted moments. The follow up comment about wanting to take back his previous answer (about whether Pierre should stick around) was slick.

One of Mark Carney's superpowers is he reads as absolutely normal and human.

@dubsndoo It's fascinating to watch a subset of Conservatives furrowing their brows and simply incapable of figuring this out. Poilievre couldn't read the room. He shows flashes of being able to now, but it's not enough.

Too bad we couldn’t convince Stephen Harper to run again. Seems like Poilievre is losing the confidence of his caucus, and I can’t understand why. He’s the same Poilievre who was ahead of the Liberals by 25 points a little over a year ago. There’s some serious Liberal voodoo here

@ChefGruel You should throw in an empty wallet to really sell it.

We have a baked potato and side salad combo on the menu for this purpose because it happens so often.
