@elonmusk Nothing says Government Efficiency like having to two people doing the same job.

So … what would you say you do here? 😂

2) The purpose of the transition process is to teach the incoming Administration what it needs to know to run the 400+ federal agencies in the Executive Branch. Trump expects to dismantle nearly all of them, so doesn't care how to run them. I know I'm right about 1). 2/6

Trump and his people have exhibited no interest in the legally required transition process. I suspect it's for two reasons: 1) As of 2019, they have to sign certain ethics pledges, AND reveal all conflicts of interest. I don't think they want to do that. But also... 1/6

@LesleyRHudson @peter102746 @JoshDehaas Just as conservatism has been soiled by the insanity of the far right - mostly south of the border. In Canada, both were traditionally closer to centre and need to be again.

@peter102746 @JoshDehaas I think the word 'liberalism' has been soiled by the excesses of today's left. But there was no contradiction between 'liberalism' and preserving western values in 🇨🇦 for nearly 150 years, so I feel it's the modern take on the word that's the outlier.

What can be done legally to push back against the disgusting pro-terrorism gatherings plaguing Canada’s cities since Oct 7 without violating constitutional rights like liberty, speech and assembly? Some ideas for politicians & police, whose responses so far have been lacking👇🏻

@kevin_b_b6 How many American jobs came back or were created as a direct result of tariffs during his first term?

I keep seeing so called "smart people" arguing against Trumps tarriff plan, but that's only because they think in checkers, not chess. And yes, Trump's plan is the epitome of 5D Chess. Here's why...

@AdamBrimson @StephenKing Could do that before he bought it, it says nothing about X.

@StephenKing You are still able to disagree with Elon and Trump without censorship That says alot about X

@KatKanada_TM No, it’s like celebrating Passover if you aren’t Jewish.

Lib MP is upset that Conservatives did not celebrate Diwali. She claims this proves they only care about themselves. She doesn't explain how exactly, though. Should non-Hindus & non-Sikhs celebrate Diwali? 🤔

@JohnFugelsang Funny how people quote Old Testament verses when asked about teachings of Jesus. The teachings of Jesus are New Testament and involve love, forgiveness, treating others as you would want to be treated. The actual antithesis of Trump and MAGA.

Please cite one actual teaching of Jesus that Trump, or the MAGA movement, have fought for legislatively. One actual commandment of Jesus that guided your vote for Trump. Chapter & verse, please. Just one. #AskATrumpDefender #100

@elonmusk 🎵 Oh, a dictator is a person in your neighborhood 🎵

@elonmusk @realDonaldTrump Is that so humans can escape his bitter tyranny?

Vote for @realDonaldTrump if you want humanity to make it to Mars!

@realDonaldTrump Nothing says “presidential” like insulting people you disagree with.

Mark Cuban, a really dumb guy, who thinks he’s “hot stuff” but he’s absolutely nothing, is now out there saying that I don’t surround myself with strong women. Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women - With the understanding that ALL women are great, whether strong or not strong. This guy is such a fool, he’s constantly on Television being critical, and only for the reason that I tuned him out completely while President because he called incessantly. I told him, very pointedly, “Look Mark, I’ve got a lot of things to do, I just can’t be taking so many pointless calls from you.” In any event, that affected him greatly, because he’s a very insecure guy, and a MAJOR LOSER, always has been and always will be! Nobody likes him, nobody respects him, and he’s unattractive both inside and out! He should go back to talk about the person he was forced to support, because I didn’t want it, Lyin’ Kamala Harris. Also, he’s got no clubhead speed!   I may, in fact, be surrounded by the strongest women in the World, including Heads of Countries, who make Mark look like a “baby!” All strong women, and women in general, should be very angry about this weak man’s statement.

@atrupar Trump going to appear at his next rally as:

OMG Trump is wearing the garbage man outfit at his rally in Green Bay (Follow this thread for clips and commentary)

@RonFilipkowski I’m betting on MAGA scam

Trump is melting down today and accusing everyone of cheating. Haven’t you had enough of this nonsense, America?

@brianlilley He knows that the NDP will place a distant 4th, will likely lose his own seat and definitely the leadership. He wants that pension as compensation and will hold everyone hostage until he gets it.

And look how shocked I am..... Jagmeet Singh says he won't vote to bring down the Trudeau government even as he denounces Trudeau. This is really pathetic. torontosun.com/news/national/…

@Schwarzenegger Arnold, you are a rare breed of person that can put country before party and realize that there’s more than blind loyalty. It is a very admirable trait.

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California. That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people. Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime. It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand. I want to tune out. But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious. For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing. The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better. It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed! But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems. It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger. That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz. Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us. And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. vote.org

@mileslunn @Tyler19006844 The NB liberals won in spite of the federal Liberals. They had very limited Liberal branding on signs and literature plus the absolute hatred for Higgs and lack of viable alternative parties played to their advantage.

@Tyler19006844 Agreed and if anything this year shows a victory for centrism as NB Liberals and SK NDP were all quite centrist unlike Trudeau while in BC lack of centre is why it was very close.

Liberals won in New Brunswick, polls suggest NDP may win in Saskatchewan, final count looks like NDP gains one extra seat. Looks like a good election for centrist and left not so good for conservatives. Maybe country is not swinging to right.

@mileslunn Don’t use New Brunswick as an indicator, Higgs has been reviled for years and this province has a tendency to flip all the way in the other direction at election time regardless of party in power.

@MaritStiles Two words… Bob Rae

In the next election, we have a decision to make. Do we stay stuck with a Conservative government under an RCMP criminal investigation, or do we move forward with New Democrats? I know what I'm choosing. I'm choosing to fight for you.

@VivekGRamaswamy Good try, but Trump stated that he hoped to have the kind of generals that Hitler had. THAT is what she’s referring to. Also those attempts were made by registered Republicans. Clutch those pearls a little tighter.

Comparing Trump to “Hitler” is not only insane. It’s reckless. We’ve seen two assassination attempts already, we don’t need things to get any worse. Our country is skating on thin ice, there’s a lot of crazy people out there, and we can’t afford to inadvertently stoke the flames of political violence just 13 days before the election. I’m calling on Kamala Harris to apologize now.

@ryangerritsen This is why I say he is closer in personality to Trump, than anyone in Canadian politics. Can’t see the freight train coming at him, doesn’t want to see it. He’ll go down as the PM who killed the Liberal Party.

It’s one thing to ignore the calls from within the Party to step aside, but an entirely different thing to ignore the majority of the nation who are calling for it. He & his cabinet can pretend things will turn around but that’s all it’s gonna be, pretend. The people are done with him & the Liberals, continuing this charade for another year is insulting.

@rexglacer He’s lucky he got seen, how many hours waiting? People have died in ER waiting rooms in NB before ever being seen by a doctor.

Free Healthcare in Canada: My friends 18 yr old son comes to him last night (22 October) in excruciating abdominal pain at 22:00 hrs, dad rushes him to RVH in Barrie, morphine not enough gets something stronger... Parents take turns. All day today (23 October) in ER bed, just got told might be admitted tomorrow (24 October), both parents work full-time, one runs a business so all week had to be canceled because who knows. This isn't special or unusual its SOP in Canada today, we pay a fortune for this "FREE" service. No elected politician & their family would be made to endure this & everyone knows it, it's not a provincial vs federal issue, there is only ONE taxpayer who pays for it all. This is life in Canada outside the palace walls in Ottawa where a week has been devoted to Justin Trudeau & his leadership who created this problem. #cdnpoli
