My dear Mum passed away yesterday at the age of 91. She was a proud nurse who dedicated her life to helping seniors through her work in long-term care homes. She will be missed. #family

Quite possible that Australia's Dickson has pulled the same thing Canada's Carleton did earlier this week: defeating an opposition leader in their own seat. #auspol #cdnpoli

Poilievre rushed to safety after actual journalist question makes it past security CALGARY - During an outdoor campaign rally, security rushed a shaken Pierre Poilievre to safety after he was tragically struck by a lone question from a journalist.

This almost seems real… #cdnpoli

BREAKING: Canadians are being warned to be β€œextra vigilant” against deliberate disinformation efforts & campaigns during the last few weeks of the Canadian Federal Election.

Disinformation has become a constant thing, but a significant ramp-up is expected as we approach the Debates later this week.

The bizarre way Trump’s team calculated reciprocal tariffs | About That
YouTube video by CBC News The bizarre way Trump’s team calculated reciprocal tariffs | About That

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand just how lazy, moronic & dishonest Trump’s β€œmath” is, that he claims is the basis for his β€œreciprocal tariffs” on nations all over the world (spoiler: they aren’t reciprocal), please watch this excellent CBC explanation by Andrew Chang.

Then please share it.

Forget booing the anthem, Canada must employ strategic communications to fight Trump’s lies In the Canada-U.S. trade war, Canadian officials are facing an American president who excels at creating false narratives. Canada must win the messaging war.

Canada needs a robust and effective #communications strategy to counter the fire hose of falsehoods about our trade relationship with the U.S. A good read. #never51 #cdnpoli
