Kerry-Lynne Findlay mocks Caroline Elliot over her campaign messaging and video presence. Findlay joked about Elliot's "hire British Columbians first" message, which appears to exclude her campaign team. "I refuse to let boys from back east dictate to us how to run B.C."

Canada voted for Islamic Republic of Iran. The theocracy that just murdered ~30,000 of its own people for demanding democracy, and that is executing young democracy activists every day. This is a complete perversion of the values that Canada claims to represent on the world stage. For shame.

Excellent interview. Watch this. 🙌@PierrePoilievre

As the world clamors for oil and gas from a democratic ally, never forget the words of former energy minister @JonathanWNV less than two years ago.

700 IRGC officials on our streets. Deport them. Now.

🚨 JUST IN: In a stunning declaration that's ripping the European Union apart, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has just dropped a bombshell statement: Europe can, and WILL, unleash the massive €90 billion emergency loan to Ukraine without waiting for Hungary's approval.

Our ancient English liberty.

Who knew what and when over the Musqueam Aboriginal title deal? @Dave_Eby caught in a contradiction of his own making, after attending signing ceremony but claiming no knowledge. My latest in @BIVnews: biv.com/news/commentar…

David Eby stood in front of cameras and said he wasn’t even briefed. Not briefed on federal recognition of Aboriginal title over Metro Vancouver. Not briefed, yet he attended the signing event in his own riding. So which is it? Did he know and hope no one noticed? Or did he show up to a major title agreement affecting a third of the province without understanding what was in it? Either answer is unacceptable. This is about more than jurisdictional excuses and constitutional technicalities. This is about private property, land certainty, and the economic backbone of British Columbia. Families have mortgages. Businesses have investments. Developers have projects. Farmers have land. Ports move trade. And the Premier says he didn’t know what was in the deal. Under DRIPA, recognition of title is not abstract theory. It has real world implications for land use, permitting, consultation, and development. You cannot tell people everything is fine while admitting you have not even reviewed the contents. That is not leadership. British Columbians are tired of activist governance layered on top of incompetence. When I am Premier, there will be no confusion about who is in charge. There will be no legal ambiguity hanging over your home. There will be no signing ceremonies without me knowing what’s going on! We will restore certainty. We will defend private property. We will end the chaos. Join me. HarmanForLeader.ca Let’s Rebuild BC Together.

Just hours after insisting Ottawa didn't brief him on fed-Musqueam agreement, hasn't seen it, and doesn't know what is in it, @Dave_Eby's office admits premier actually attended the Musqueam/Ottawa signing event in person in his riding. But says premier still unaware of contents

The federal government's ban on the sale of pouches beyond pharmacies has created a major black market, mainly satisfied by sketchy online retailers who don't check for age. If you support smoking cessation, you should support alternatives being widely available. #cdnpoli

Canada’s c-stores support @DaleNally_AB & @ABDanielleSmith in returning nicotine pouches to legal retailers. We must stop black-market sales and let adults buy safely from trained, trusted stores. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Finally!!! Thank you @DaleNally_AB @ConvenienceCan @CanadianPM

The CBSA has been investigating dozens of individuals linked to the Iranian regime who are here in Canada. And yet, only one removal has been publicly confirmed. One. For years, the IRGC has operated as a terrorist arm of a brutal regime, funding, directing, and exporting violence right into our communities, and into Iranian-Canadians who fled tyranny. Canadians deserve answers. How many suspected IRGC-linked individuals are still here? Why has removal been so ineffective? Canada can’t be sanctuary for terrorists. The government owes this country transparency and action. Kick them out.

Every woman should fear this!

PORTRAIT DETAILS 1, On the top level of the left side of the bookshelf rest four small flags. They are the flags of Alberta, PM Harper’s home province in adulthood, Ontario, his home province in childhood, New Brunswick, the ancestral home of the Harper family, and the Kainai First Nation of Alberta, of which PM Harper is an honorary chief. 2, The top level of the right side of the bookshelf shows a photograph of Alert, Nunavut, the most northerly settlement in the world. PM Harper visited in 2006 as part of his northern agenda. Immediately below are the colours of the Royal 22nd Regiment of Quebec City, the “Van Doos,” of which PM Harper is an honorary member. 3, The second level of the left side of the bookshelf contains a photograph of Quebec City, Calgary’s sister city, and a miniature Stanley Cup, symbolizing PM Harper’s keen interest in hockey. 4, The third level of the left side of the bookshelf contains several books of importance in PM Harper’s life. From the right, the French dictionary represents his success in becoming bilingual. Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations is the seminal book of the economics profession, PM Harper being an economist. James Buchanan’s Democracy in Deficit is a critical work in public choice economics, the subfield in which PM Harper wrote his master’s thesis. The New Canada is the first book by Preston Manning, founder of the Reform Party and PM Harper’s principal political mentor. The Bible reminds viewers that PM Harper is a Christian believer. The harp refers both to his family name and his interest in music. Sitting above the other books is Old Colours Never Die, his father’s book on the history of regimental flags in Canada. 5, The fourth level of both the left and right sides of the bookshelf shows a photo of a deer near the Elbow River in the backyard of PM Harper’s residence in Bragg Creek, Alberta. The volumes represent the trade agreements concluded by PM Harper’s government with the European Free Trade Association, Peru, Colombia, Jordan, Panama, Honduras, the European Union, South Korea, Ukraine, and the Trans Pacific Partnership. In total, PM Harper’s government increased the number of countries Canada had free trade agreements with from five to 51, representing roughly two thirds of global GDP. 6, The mug on the desk displays the iconic cover of With the Beatles, the band’s second album from 1963. PM Harper is an avid Beatles fan, and this mug was indeed on his desk during his time in office. 7, The black and white photo on PM Harper’s desk shows his childhood family, including father Joe, mother Margaret, and brothers Grant and Robert, outside their family home at 332 Bessborough Drive in Leaside, now part of the City of Toronto. 8, The colour photo on PM Harper’s desk shows his family at 24 Sussex Drive, including his wife Laureen, son Ben, and daughter Rachel. 9, The colours in PM Harper’s tie represent his success in bringing together the elements of Canadian conservatism. The dark blue represents the Tory tradition of the Progressive Conservative Party. The green represents the western populist tradition of the Reform Party. The sky blue represents the autonomist tradition of conservative francophones and Quebec nationalists. 10, PM Harper is holding a volume representing the 2015 Budget, which confirmed the return of the federal government to balance after the extraordinary fiscal stimulus used from 2009 to 2011 to combat the effects of the global financial crisis. 11, Through the window, the skyline of Calgary can be seen. PM Harper represented the city in the House of Commons, specifically Calgary West, Calgary Southwest, and Calgary Heritage. 12, On PM Harper’s lapel is the Canada flag pin that he always wore while in office and continues to wear. Like his father, PM Harper is a vexillologist and, after his time in office, he authored The Flags of Canada.

1/3 There’s a long-standing tradition of Canadian Prime Ministers choosing meaningful symbols to include in their official portraits. Let’s explore some of these symbols in the newly unveiled portrait of 22nd Prime Minister Stephen J. Harper. ⬇️

I said to UNHRC: “We ask the U.N., the media, celebrities, campus activists: why are you silent? The answer is uncomfortable but clear. The Iran protest movement shatters a cherished narrative. A people rising against Islamist tyranny does not fit the ideology—so it is ignored.”
