@MikeBarrettON How is it that NASA can build a base on the moon for $20-30B, but a train from Toronto to Quebec costs three times that? Only in Canada.

Alto is the most expensive project in Canadian history, at $90 billion, or $8,000 per each Canadian family. Minister Champagne's partner stands to materially benefit. He says he recused himself, yet he included Alto in his budget, voted for it, and advocated for it. Our Conservative team is demanding answers now: conservative.ca/cpc/investigat…

@deepwebslinger LOL this is fantastic. I'm glad my Dutch wife has a great sense of humour, though

This guy had hip surgery and some unknown complication has caused him to continuously laugh about everything... I'm sure his wife, at this, point wants to kill him. I watched it three times and I laugh harder each time.😅🤣😂 Shit...my gut hurts 😅🤣😂😂🤣🤣😅😅🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😅

Excellent analysis of the HST break on new homes:

@junonewscom The solution for arrogance is not more power.

Asked what he'd do with a majority, Minister Champagne said his party would "govern with humility," adding that "authenticity and empathy [aid] long-term success." His remarks come after he previously urged Canadians "to be humble" amid rising food costs.

@junonewscom What healthcare changes?

HAPPENING NOW: A large police and security presence is blocking access to the Liberal Party convention in Montreal as protesters with Palestinian flags gather at the entrance, demonstrating against PM Mark Carney's healthcare changes.

@sarobertsonca I'm glad Nathan Cullen doesn't get to choose my doctor, dentist, mechanic or Prime Minister. We just had an amateur for 10 years, and look how that worked out.

Nathan Cullen on Pierre Poilievre's future: "He's not known any other life than this. This has been his ambition and all he's known and what he's somewhat good at, what else is there? And for him to walk away, he's gonna have to get pushed. I mean really pushed. Like Justin Trudeau pushed."

@TheTorontoSun It's actually not a problem at all. It's good and healthy to have a culling of Conservative MP's who are either more aligned with Liberal principles, or who don't really care which principles they're aligned with. Good leadership doesn't just gather. It scatters.

KINSELLA: The Conservative Party's problem isn't floor-crossing – it's leadership torontosun.com/opinion/column…

Let me get this straight. You’ve been in power for ten years. You’ve doubled the debt. You’ve weakened the economy. And now, your answer is to trap young Canadians? On stage, the Liberal Party of Canada brings out Patrick Pichette, a former senior executive at Google, who now lives in Europe, to suggest that Canadians who want to pursue opportunities in the United States should face an exit tax of $500,000. Half a million dollars to leave your own country. This, from someone who once left Canada himself to build a career in the U.S. and paid virtually nothing to do so. So let’s be honest about what this is. It is not economic policy. It is not nation building. It is control. A government that has mismanaged the economy now wants to limit your ability to seek opportunity elsewhere. Instead of creating reasons to stay, they are looking for ways to make it harder to leave. You do not grow a country by locking people in. You grow it by giving them a reason to believe in it.

I agree that some on the left voted strategically against the CPC, but that would not have been enough to stop a CPC win, had Singh not become the lame duck that he was. Switch him out for a Layton or Mulcair, and you could easily have siphoned 3-5% away from the LPC. Ironically, Harper was much more maligned in his time for being a right winger with a "hidden agenda" than Pierre has been.

@LesLamb @jppl1979 1. I would argue that in 2025, part of the weakness of the NDP was because many NDP voters voted LPC to block Poilievre because he’s seen as too right-wing. 2. Much of Poilievre’s support was because people were fed up with the Trudeau Liberals, and visibly, has now collapsed.

If Conservatives were presenting credible centre-right policies and a solid team with creds; liberals would not have to be such a large tent alternating between centre-right leaders (Chrétien, Martin, Carney, etc.) and left leaning leaders (Trudeau Père, Trudeau Fils, etc)… conservative would be the center right alternative. Liberals are often referred to as the natural governing party because of the conservatives’ inability to articulate a conservative alternative that isnt religious nuts, reform primates or MAGA idiots. In the name of their call principles, they alienate 1,000 urban voters and women to please a handful people of their base voting for them no matter what.

You're overlooking the fact that Harper won three elections and governed for 10 years with less than 40% of the vote. Pierre enjoyed more broad public support than Harper or O'Toole - both considered more "moderate" Conservatives, with 41.3%. Trudeau won with just 33.1% and 32.6% in 2019 and 2021. The different outcomes the Conservatives experienced under Harper vs. Pierre were because of a weak NDP, not because Pierre is not moderate enough.

@jppl1979 That's certainly the case with this version of the CPC, but it was not always the case. Mulroney was not in that camp and Harper managed to hold together a very diverse group of Conservatives. It's since the Scheer-Poilievre takeover that the CPC has been catering to one wing.

@MarcNixon24 I would expect nothing less. He has one job: to do whatever it takes to work with whomever to get things done for Ontarians.

REPORTER: Doug are you concerned about Mark Carney getting a MAJORITY Since you’re a conservative? Doug Ford: NOT concerned at ALL about Liberals getting a MAJORITY. I work BETTER with a Liberal even NDP. I drank Mark Carney’s water remember.

@JohnPasalis Yes. Over that same time period, Q1 2026 just recorded the lowest quarterly sales ever for Durham Region, at least. Worse than Q4 2025, and even Q4 2022. -43.3% from the quarterly avg for 2010-2026 (dotted line).

@BertHuttVan @grok who is this guy?

BREAKING: The Toronto Maple Leafs and MLSE have confirmed the appointment of Jim Benning as new General Manager

@cbcwatcher Oh yes, let's get the government involved, they can run things efficiently!

Avi Lewis on CBC claims "We're talking about, for instance, with groceries developing a chain of 50 publicly owned and operated grocery stores across the country with six or seven regional distribution hubs that would be able to provide groceries to Canadians 30 to 45% cheaper than what they're paying right now." Then he claims "To just blast this idea out there on social media platforms and we got thousands of responses from conservatives who were interested in this idea of a public option for groceries." Margins at grocery stores are notoriously low in the 3–5% range. Looks like Avi's strategy is to out BS Mark Carney, Master BS'er @avilewis

@by__brittany Wow. @grok is he related to Nikki Ashton?

Rob Ashton, NDP leadership candidate: “EAT THE DAMN RICH!!!!!!!” This NDP 2026 Convention is the most unhinged mind-boggling thing I have ever seen in my life 😬😬😬

@ronmortgageguy It's sad. We owe $31K per person, and that's just federal.

Sure, a bunch of people on this App care Some Business People care But all forms of polling of the public tell us the vast majority of Canadians don't care, over 50% of Canadians aren't totally sure what a Government Deficit actually is.... And why would they? 3/

Nobody In Canada Really Cares About Government Deficits: Until We All Have To Care Ontario ran out another huge $14B Deficit yesterday The massive $88B Federal Government Deficit will be higher once we get the actual numbers The BC Deficit is a Ball Buster No one cares 2/

@adamchamb Yes, people need to take a breath on both sides. It's sad how tribal politics has become. Imagine being so small of a person that your whole day is ruined because a guy you don't like went on a show you never watch, so now it's you crusade du jour.

Your reminder that the Prime Minister launched his Liberal leadership bid on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

@OverDrive1050 It was ONE game. That doesn't negate all the great ones.

Hayes gives his candid view on William Nylander’s performance against the Islanders. #LeafsForever 😬

@quesoandmargs_ Agreed. Willy always finds a way to save the day with a GWG

I'm stunned (and annoyed) at all of these posts w/ ppl wanting to get rid of your TOP scorers. Of all people, let's get rid of the captain and the one player who's been consistent? Who are we bringing back, lord knows we didn't win losing Marner.
