If Conservatives think that education and facts have a Liberal slant, then perhaps it's best they reconsider their ideology. Because nothing puts fear into Conservatives more than a well-informed citizen that has critical thinking skills.

Whoa! Alberta judge throws out petition for separation referendum theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

If she’s not a separatist then why is she appealing it?

I wonder if Smith is going to throw ketchup on the walls?

Imagine that. Turns out you can’t lawfully hold a referendum on whether to take something that isn’t yours: like land covered by treaties, or the sovereign territory of Canada.

This is a disappointing piece, based as it is on that old Twitter-argument standby, the imputed double standard — which isn’t a double standard. I’ve never said or implied that it’s okay for Quebec to deploy the “knife at the throat” but not for Alberta. I’ve spent my whole career attacking its use by Quebec nationalists; Alberta’s separatists and their fellow travellers are only the latest to try it. And I stand by the point I made on the panel: no federation, no country, can operate on the basis that if we get our way on any given issue we stay, but if we don’t we’re gone. You can’t run a book club on that basis. No country could, and no country, other than Canada, does. There’s a reason Canada has, uniquely among the major democracies, spent the last 60 years perched on the verge of dissolution. It’s the same reason we’re now headed for not one but two referendums on secession, even as the president of the United States threatens to devour the pieces. It’s because, all but uniquely, we have tolerated the idea that secession is a legitimate “option,” and that the only response open to the rest of Canada is to make regular ransom payments to forestall it. To allow for the possibility is to invite it.

@BrianLiberal777 @ElizabethG10410 Yep, they went from O’Toole to a tool

@hollycellis2 @ElizabethG10410 Conservatives blew their chances again. PM Carney has established his place now.

Team Canada Looking pretty good, folks

Becky Druhan, Nova Scotia’s former justice minister and Independent member of the legislature, is joining the provincial Liberals halifax.citynews.ca/2026/05/11/for…

When Stephen Harper was PM at Census time, did any Liberals, NDP or Green Party supporters have such juvenile hissy fits as many of the Conservatives are right now? I don’t even recall this happening when Trudeau was PM at Census time. So stupid!

Keeps getting better and better

Team Canada still in the lead, while Team Crayon continues to plummet. Nice to see the NDP rising though.

Thank you Pierre. Sincerely, Canada.

Wow, just wow.

Newfoundland and Labrador’s own is the hero as Montreal moves on to the second round — he’s definitely converting a few more back home to be Habs fans, I’ll say that!

C'est officiel. Les @CanadiensMTL sont l'équipe du Canada pour les séries éliminatoires de la Coupe Stanley 2026. Montréal, on est avec vous jusqu'au bout 🇨🇦

@TrueHabsFan44 I’m keeping the faith

this is a stressful game

Sorry ,Pierre, but I was there during the Harper years in Ottawa, and you were not part of the inner circle of power. You had little incidence on what Harper and his close team decided. You were, however, always in search of the media spotlight and you were asking journalists-myself included- to be quoted in their report. You spoke French very well and I, working for French TV (TVA Nouvelles), was always happy to find bilingual politicians. I would have used a clip of you in my reports but what you said always stopped me. Even then, you were all about personal attacks and superficial comments. You never discussed /analyzed THE POLICY, always the party. Ad Hominem rather than Ad Rem. And those politicians ( from all parties ) I tended to exclude in favour of those who examined the substance. " No fighting with the other party " in my reports was my motto. Explaining factually why you are against x or y decision, yes. But otherwise, it's just empty political attacks and the citizens of Canada deserve better. You haven't changed, Pierre, despite the responsibilities that are now upon your shoulders. @PierrePoilievre #cdnpoli @PolQC
