Flipping Canuck

@MacLeodLisa Did you miss January 6?

Even Donald Trump, whose disregard for institutions is well known, has never been able to seize absolute power without electoral consent like Mark Carney has.

@hsnorth_ At least Starbucks employs Canadians and not TFW and that’s a win IMO

The Gazette found at least 30 Starbucks locations in Greater Montreal have closed in the last 10 years, outpacing the opening of new locations. Coffee-aficionados go to their third wave spot. Those price sensitive may go to McDonalds or Tim’s. What’s left? Some Montrealers, sure, and maybe your international student more willing (and used to?) paying 8$ for a coffee. Worse still for Starbs, and similar to the UK with Gales bakery, Montreal’s super successful third wave & Italian local chains squeeze it even more. So that international student goes to Starbucks until they find the Olympico or Myriade around the block and get that Montreal experience their pals back home can’t get. @leoraschertzer

@DollyHPN Unfortunately it isn’t the same anymore with mass immigration

I miss Canada 🇨🇦 10 years ago I visited for the first time & instantly fell in love 🏔️🍁🐻 Just look at these views… how could you not? Can’t wait to get back 😍

@AnaPoilievre Your husband is going to be done as leader of CPC come Monday night

A few weeks ago, I got the chance to meet Steven Bartlett from The Diary of a CEO for my husband’s podcast recording. Meeting Steven and shaking his hand somehow felt familiar. After he left the room to prepare, I paused and thought about it. Then it clicked. I realized how much I already knew about him from watching so many of his podcasts, and how in every single one, he finds a way to connect with the guest or with what the guest is saying. He is open, authentic, and raw. He shares bits and pieces of his life, his childhood, his upbringing, and his relationships, whether with his mother, his girlfriend, his friends, employees, or business partners. I believe that’s what makes him such a great interviewer. He comes in with curiosity and openness, ready to take in the information, analyze it, push back a little if he’s not fully convinced, and then connect at a human level. He takes what the guest shares and relates it to his own experience, whether in business or in a more personal way. Then I thought about his book, The Diary of a CEO: 33 Laws of Business & Life. It’s the result of hundreds and hundreds of interviews where he sits down with a wide range of people, from health experts to business leaders, politicians, relationship experts, lawyers, scientists, and more. His mind has absorbed so much of this over time, it’s no surprise the book is so strong. Which brings me to a proud wife moment. During the podcast with my husband, Steven mentioned how knowledgeable Pierre is. He said this was one of the rare interviews where a politician actually answered the questions, and that he truly enjoyed the conversation. This is coming from someone who has interviewed hundreds, if not thousands, of people, many with impressive careers and deep expertise. Because that’s what happens when people really listen to Pierre. His depth of knowledge about our country and how the world works. He is thoughtful, intelligent, but above all, principled. As Steven pointed out, Pierre has stood for the same ideas and values since the letter he wrote for the “If I Were Prime Minister” contest. So here’s the thing. We go forward. We keep moving. We keep fighting. Because we believe deeply in what we stand for, with principle and conviction. And let me tell you, my husband has rock solid support at home. This lady is not for turning. 💁🏻‍♀️

@TLNewmanMTL You are post media. Your views don’t matter here. Let adults in the room deal with it

It remains an extreme decision to take this stance towards the U.S. due to one president. It makes no sense.

@briangarrett @Montreal @Toronto Canada? I thought you guys were referring to us as 51st state until few months ago?

I’ve spent about a week in Canada it’s my fist time visiting the country so I wanted to see Montreal Quebec and Toronto Ontario they’re completely different but both very cool and unique in their our ways I’d suggest any other Americans thinking about a trip to come visit both 👌

@MACNational 🇮🇱

The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) has released a statement condemning Israel’s closure of Masjid Al-Aqsa in occupied Jerusalem and the ongoing restrictions preventing Muslim worshippers from accessing this sacred site. MAC is calling on the Government of Canada to take a clear and principled stance in support of religious freedom and the protection of Masjid Al-Aqsa. The statement also raises concern over recent actions that threaten the sanctity of the site. Masjid Al-Aqsa holds a sacred place in the hearts of Muslims worldwide, and ensuring access to places of worship remains a fundamental pillar of religious freedom and human dignity. Full Statement: macnet.ca/2026/official-…

@tundebillions Please go back

4 years in Toronto today. Can remember stepping out of Pearson and running back inside. Wondered how normal people will live in a deep freezer.

@WashTimes Good

@raghu_venugopal 400 bureaucrats fired? Where do we sign up for more of this

The amazing Ottawa Hospital is losing 400 staff due to underfunding by Ontario. Just to be clear, with today’s healthcare pressures, the Ottawa Hospital should be announcing adding 400 staff. This is so seriously wrong in every way possible. ctvnews.ca/ottawa/article…

@jkenney Mass immigration has destroyed Canada but we can repair it starting with remigration

Our victory at Vimy should fill all Canadians with pride. Sadly, the post-nationalists believe that we should be ashamed of the Canada that achieved this. We must renew national pride in the courage, valour, and audacity of the tough people who built this country, and died in its defence.

@PierrePoilievre Bro it is time for you to cross the floor

Liberals have put the land, property, and homes of all British Columbians at risk by backing down from opposing the Cowichan decision and signing the Musqueam agreement. Here are the 4 steps to protect your home and property: conservative.ca/cpc/protect-pr…

@raghu_venugopal Huh

Conservatives sure didn’t say this when others crossed the floor to them in the past. Mr. Poilievre can ask Mr. Scheer to be sure.

These are real people not bots and their unhinged takes are sadly mainstream thinking within the CPC and the conservative moment. The party and its supporters consistently misread their opponent whether it's Trudeau or Carney. They spent years trying to paint Trudeau as unserious or unintelligent, only for him to win three elections. Like him or not, Trudeau's been one of the most consequential prime ministers in recent history, with a lasting imprint on the country, much like his father. They’re repeating the same mistake with Carney, dismissing him as a fool and alleging corruption instead of grappling with what actually makes him politically formidable. Spoiler alert: it's not Trump.

@SandraCobena_ Today would be a great day to cross the floor then!

18 years, beautiful children, and a lifetime of memories. I’m so grateful to walk this crazy life with you. Cheers 🥂❤️

@CitImmCanada Co-op at Tim Hortons?

As of April 1, 2026, eligible post-secondary international students who have valid study permits will not need a separate work permit to take part in mandatory placements that are part of their study programs, like co-ops or internships: bit.ly/47Sg2ou

I think @SandraCobena_ is next to cross the floor #cdnpoli

@GinnyRothTO Cry harder Ginny

Just to be clear - it’s demonstrably untrue that Sarnia Lambton is a bellweather riding
