Further, US companies don’t give a DAMN whether someone in Bear River or Lourdes gets a package or letter delivered.

US control of our delivery services will invariably lead to Atlantic Canadians losing access to the service

The truth is that Canada Post was simply set up to fail How can the Crown corporation be a low-cost, national public service while competing with American e-commerce giants and international shippers?

@markcarneyforpm.bsky.social needs to demonstrate vision and bravery and make Canada Post the de facto at home delivery service

Too many well-paying Canadian jobs at risk, ones not owned and exploited by US interests

Opinion: Carney downgraded the small-business portfolio in his cabinet. This is a problem When Mark Carney first took office in March, he appointed Small Business Minister Rechie Valdez as chief government whip – without a replacement

"Without a dedicated minister, the concerns of small businesses risk being scattered across multiple departments, none of which are solely focused on their needs."

This is going to affect the mom and pop shops across the Atlantic Provinces.

Our municipal partners want greater flexibility to levy regional taxes to fund community specific projects and initiatives.

We will work with provinces to craft a first-of-it’s-kind municipal tax regime which is more responsive to local priorities

Commendations to the incoming #Liberal government.

But take note:

These seats will all be turned to the soft pasture green of the Kitchen Party in a few years’ time

Poilievre’s Nova Scotia campaign stop highlights growing rift between federal Conservatives, provincial PCs Strained relations started after a perceived snub by Premier Tim Houston during the provincial election campaign last fall, according to three sources

To the conservatives among us: it is TRUE that Atlantic Canadians have different sensibilities than their Reform/Upper Canadian counterparts!
Continue to tune out Pierre’s noise and let’s continue to focus on the sensible solutions for Atlantic Canadians!

Project 2035: an NHL team in Halifax, co-owned by willing and interested Atlantic Canadians.

Let’s make it happen.

Remain wary of the Powerful’s reverence for “Freedom” - their conception of Liberty is one of Impunity, cloaked in the garb of freedoms, ones inaccessible and unwieldable by the average person.

Equality and a narrowing disparity generates true Freedom for us all

Rock on

If the polls are to be believed, 4 out of 5 Canadians will be voting red or blue, the first time in over fifty years.
That moment marked the height of centralized party dominance.
Today, we must resist slipping back. Regional balance isn’t fragmentation—it’s federation, alive and well.

Goes to show how much the folks in Ottawa care about the environmental safety of Atlantic Canadians.

An empowered #KitchenParty would compel the Federal government to take swift action in resolving coastal calamities.

#cdnpoli #nlpoli

Not our doing, but someone updated the Wikipedia photo of #EzraLevant, the self-appointed King of Conservative “news”

Ridiculously unprincipled conduct by his team

@jessebrown.bsky.social

“You know you’re from Atlantic Canada if you live in Fort McMurray”

Top down policing in Atlantic Canada does not solve community safety concerns.

Funding needs to be made available for local - municipal, regional and indigenous - policing solutions. RCMP, while skilled is a stopgap solution for rural/community policing

#cdnpoli

Debate spoke of youth and opportunity, but missed how young people are fleeing Atlantic Canada for work. Where’s the vision to let them stay and build here?

#nspoli #nlpoli #nbpoli #peipoli #cdnpoli #federalelection

Plenty of talk about foreign interference—none about how our region’s critical infrastructure (ports, telecoms) is being overlooked in national security planning. We’re a “weak link” only because Ottawa forgets we exist.

#nspoli #nlpoli #nbpoli #peipoli #cdnpoli #federalelection

They debated the threat of Trump’s return and its impact on Canada—but forgot we’re his nearest neighbours. What’s the plan for border towns and Atlantic trade if MAGA chaos returns?

#nspoli #nlpoli #nbpoli #peipoli #cdnpoli #federalelection

We are on the front lines of climate change—coastal erosion, hurricane damage, rising tides. And yet, Atlantic Canada got no airtime in the debate on climate. How is this acceptable?

#nspoli #nlpoli #nbpoli #peipoli #cdnpoli #federalelection

Talk of public safety—but zero mention of innovative, community-led policing solutions in Atlantic Canada. We don’t need more top-down answers—we need resources to craft our own local solutions

#nspoli #nlpoli #nbpoli #peipoli #cdnpoli #federalelection

Atlantic Canada has the wind, water, and know-how—but no mention of our role in the national energy strategy during the debate. Why are we left out of the transition we’re already leading?

#nspoli #nlpoli #nbpoli #peipoli #cdnpoli #federalelection

Not a single word about Atlantic Canada’s ports, fisheries, or trade corridors in the federal debate. We are Canada’s front door to Europe—do we not matter in trade conversations anymore?

Rail*

@jhearn.bsky.social can you give us some NL tail history facts for our provincial rail policies?

Bless your heart

Can’t remember where we read about the idea of a Canadian Foreign Legion, but certainly a discussion worth having to address recruitment shortages and channels for immigration.

Regardless, military policy is tangential to the #KitchenParty core platform, so further comments reserved

#cadpoli

The finale has Mark and Helly eloping to Gander and voting for the #KitchenParty in the upcoming Federal election
