Our country is falling apart at the seams. We are pandering to the few at the expense of our nation. We need to stop this madness!!

@SpencerFernando NEW WORLD ORDER is not anything mild.
You’ve really become a bafoon the last year or two.
Liberal Money must be good.
English
It’s interesting to see some people still panicking whenever a Canadian leader even mildly calls for reducing reliance on the U.S., as if we are supposed to walk on eggshells and try to avoid attention.
Such submissive, fear-based thinking is the opposite of the internal strength and confidence necessary to build up our country.

@gator_gum You have no concept how the real world works do you?
Stay in school and take some economics courses…

@JigglyPants44 Only in a “Jiggly World” are the 2 comparable.
You do realize your logic is that of a 5 year old don’t you?
English
Didn’t this guy do a dirty back room deal to stay in power against the will of the people?
Courtney Theriault@cspotweet
Polievre asked how many more MPs he need to lose before he reflects on his leadership future. He points to the "record-smashing" 8.3M people who voted CPC last election and his 87% vote at his leadership review. Says his leadership does not come from dirty, backroom deals.
English
Actually, it was a backroom deal that put PP in the Battle Creek Crowfoot riding!
Marc Nixon@MarcNixon24
Pierre Poilievre of is 100% correct. He is the man of the people. Mark Carney is the man of the back room deals.
English
@SpencerFernando The only option to protect both, would be bi-elections.

Floor crossing protects the MP’s mind, elections protect the voter’s will. spencerfernando.com/2026/04/09/flo…
English
I support Mark Carney's decision to accept people into the government I profoundly disagree with, even on key issues that mean a lot to me.
Because I believe this is a pivotal time in Canadian history when we must do everything we can to dial down divisions, and focus on our common interests, and shared loyalty to Canada.
We cannot succumb to toxic polarization like other countries have.
The consequences of that are existential to democracy itself.
Right now Canada's survival requires unity.
We can fight the good fights another day.
And who knows, just maybe if we make an effort to listen and to get to know those we vigorously disagree with, some hearts and minds may change along the way. We could end up with a bigger progressive consensus in the end.

@SpencerFernando Then eliminate parties. Until then every candidate is voted on by party first, candidate second, 99% of the time.
Parties have platforms people support, so that candidate gets the votes.
So you can never eliminate parties…
English
We need politicians with their own minds, not drones.
Every party loves floor crossings when the floor crossing is in their direction, and hates floor crossings when it’s going the other way, so there is little point in considering the inevitable lamentations of the Conservatives, just as the celebration of the Liberals is of little intellectual value here.
However, what must be stated is that whether you agree with individual floor crossing decisions or not, the ability of MPs to cross the floor must be protected. Our political system is built so that we elect individuals, not a party, and this is profoundly important because it ensures that those we elect have their own minds. The individual mind is the only real kind of mind there is. There is no ‘group mind’ or ‘collective mind.’
English
BREAKING: There are reports Poilievre plans on resigning once Carney gets a majority.
English
@Jibear @SpencerFernando In no way would that mute an MP’s voice.
They would run, and could win under their new party.
100% democratic.
Terrible take.
English
@KenJansen1 @SpencerFernando Your way, the MPs voice is muted. NOT democracy.
English
Were Canada to ban floor crossing, we would be suppressing the individual minds of those we elect, and further concentrating power in party leaders. As things stand now, floor crossing protects independence and keeps pressure on leaders to treat their colleagues well lest they watch those colleagues head elsewhere. Floor crossing – and the threat of it – protects us from a system where those we elect turn into mindless drones serving nothing more than the centralized will of ‘the leader.’
So, whether you agree with Gladu’s decision or not, it is essential to protect the right of MPs to cross the floor. The individual mind is the most precious resource we have.
English
@mileslunn @SpencerFernando Agreed. But the vote needs to be immediate. Not years later potentially.
English
@SpencerFernando Bingo. I have consistently supported the right to cross floor no matter which party is beneficiary and who it hurts. If people upset enough, can vote them out. Many forget one of the most famous floor crossers ever was none other than Winston Churchill.
English
@RodAVanier So currency exchange is contributing?
Our weak dollar is a direct reflection of what the world thinks of the Canadian economy.
So you AGREE. We need to blame the Liberals.
English
You think it is on PMMC, but you give no reasons why! Most of Canada's grocery inflation is due to imported foods.
Melissa 🇨🇦@MelissaLMRogers
CANADA still has the highest FOOD INFLATION in the G7 and higher than the aggregate for the OECD 👀 Why is Canada so RIDICULOUSLY high? This is on Carney 🇨🇦

@rupasubramanya This poll shows change since the election.
Not since the Rogan podcast.
But you know that, yet you lie!
Do better…
English
Look at the big bump, I mean slump, after Polievre's grand tour of U.S. podcasts, beamed out to trillions worldwide, including a few billion Canadians.

@TheJasonPugh @Xort_TC @PierrePoilievre This Woke snowflake hates Conservatives.
He’s thus blinded by facts and reality.
Unfortunately this is commonplace with the Liberal cult.
English
@Xort_TC @KenJansen1 @PierrePoilievre Absolutely 100% to do with Conservatives cutting red tape.
Conservatives blew up a town in Quebec.
English
You praise the fact that it took only four years to build the Canadian Pacific Railway?
They did that without expropriating any private land, @PierrePoilievre?
How many died constructing it?
Last time Cons were in charge, cutting red tape blew up a town in Quebec.

@inthe250_ @marissenmark Follower 1000 here. Not to mention it really won’t save people much time on their trip.
If they’re not less than 30 minutes from a stop. Driving is as quick as.
Same thing with flying. It’s the hurry up and wait of passenger travel
English
@marissenmark They don’t ride for free. They pay $125, around 1.6% of the cost of the trip. Taxpayers pay the rest.
English
Seems like most people against high speed rail in Canada assume that everyone will ride it for free.
And they also appear to assume that there will be no economic or environmental spinoff.
We never hear them complain about building more highways or bridges.
English
@CanadianCoffey Actually he lost by being honest about public sector reductions.
Fanjoy won on a lie of zero reduction.
Let’s keep it real. Liberal liar!
English
Pierre got fired because he didn’t represent his riding.
He doesn’t care about Canada or Canadians.
Carleton knew that better than the rest of the country.
He was their MP for 21 years.
The guy that said MP’s should be limited to two terms is on his 8th term.
Doug Boswell@BoswellDoug
@CanadianCoffey Pierre is not just a regular MP, he is the Official Leader of the Opposition. That leader has the duty to represent Canadians to hold the government of the day accountable.
English
So, building high speed rail is "the west subsidizing" the east.... But, building a pipe line isn't the opposite?
Also, this isn't remotely how taxation works. We don't pay "per person" for projects.
Paul Mitchell@PaulMitchell_AB
Ottawa wants to spend $90 Billion on high-speed rail between Toronto and Quebec City. That's $4000 out of the pocket of every Canadian taxpayer to fund something that 99% will never use. As usual, Western Canadians will be paying to subsidize Ontario and Quebec. Insanity.
