Lot of folks with their elbows up in Guelph tonight to listen to Charlie Angus talk about working together to defend Canadian values of democracy, decency and diversity.

We went and voted today. Longest lines I've ever seen. Voter involvement in the democratic process is essential. I'm hoping for record voter turnout. Show up like our country depends on it because it does.

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom. If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

Conservative politicians said the quiet part out loud: Pierre’s hidden vision for Canada aligns with Donald Trump’s. He won’t stand up for Canada. Carleton — you deserve better! #FanjoyVsPoilievre #CanadaStrong #CarletonDeservesBetter #TogetherWeCan

CBC breaks down renewed concerns over Poilievre’s refusal to get security clearance after foreign interference allegations. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=IFTFJT…

I’m not a journalist. I’m an Alberta dad, husband, and trades worker. Over the past few days, I’ve been reading everything I can about the CSIS findings regarding Pierre Poilievre’s compromised position and lack of security clearance. Here’s what I’ve found. #cdnpoli

Canada, don’t get lulled into complacency. You must vote. The last thing we want or need is that surprise, depressing, sinking feeling on election night if we watch Canada turn blue, like the shocking feeling we had when Trump won both times. Vote like your life depends on it.

Pierre’s badly worded announcement (done deliberately) worked like he knew it would. People think the tax reduction is 15% of their taxes…it’s not…it’s 15% of 15%, a 2.25% reduction. He’s conning you.

Teachers are protesting because we know that abolishing the Department of Education would destroy the last safeguard of equal public education, leaving countless students at the mercy of underfunded, under-resourced, and deeply unequal state systems. #departmentofeducation

@CPC_HQ 5/ And they want you to decide to vote for Pierre without telling you what you are voting for. Like Donald Trump. Like Danielle Smith. Out of control and causing damage without having been honest about it. Team Poilievre blew it.

Let’s go girls! It is time to mobilize. Who’s in? Let us know where you’re from because we need one of you in every province or even city!! #WomenAgainstPoilievre #NeverPoilievre cc. @Libs4Canada @VoterNerd @FairplayDesigns @ame_todd

Lots of interesting DMs/phone calls in the past couple days from friends across #ontag about the @GrainFarmers decision to endorse @fordnation Wildly they didn't even agree to endorse him... By the end you will find this is one more example of Ford rolling over rural folk 1/x

This! 🙌

I've been seeing a lot of people on the left and right talking about the 2024 election as if it was a landslide. So I made this chart to put things in context. Trump's win was one of the smallest in modern history.

Powerful. 🌦

@MrsChahine Adorable!!

Meet Nova, my new farm dog.

Today, I want to share a message with my powerful Afghan sisters. You are fighting back against the Taliban’s crimes, as they ban you from going to school and try to erase you from public life. You continue resisting. Your courage is a source of inspiration.

Join me on Sunday July 14th at The Boathouse for live music and free ice cream!
