Not Every Canadian MP Stood to Honour Charlie Kirk | The Tyee South Surrey MP Ernie Klassen said he and other colleagues abstained from the gesture. Here’s why.

Statement from MP Jenny Kwan, said that none of NDP’s MPs participated in the standing ovation. Kwan denounces political violence, but β€œanyone with a platform should always be mindful that political rhetoric that is incendiary, racist and dehumanizing is unacceptable.” thetyee.ca/News/2025/09...

This is what happens when you let AI write for a newspaper. It will regurgitate a story from 1971.

Doesn't really matter a whole lot. Hard to imagine that any proposed legislation can't get another 2 or 3 or more votes from either of the other 3 parties...different support from different parties depending upon the legislation.

We need an occasional adult in the room. He should call it as soon as possible, and likely will.

I'm in PR. Big Poilievre rally a month before election. 2 weeks before very professional cons door knocking identifying vote. Day before election call big con signs up, day of call yard signs (identified by door knockers) everywhere. Next day NDP big signs up, very few yd signs, no door knocking

Also the way the model is reported is really bad. Last poll reported here had Libs at 188 seats...a single number. The range was 153 - 214. LOL quite the range! If range only is reported, people would take these projections with a grain of salt. As they should.

Overall polling was good, but...maybe it's just me... models for seat projections seem to need work. ??

Uninformed. I talked with many here in past 2 weeks who planned to vote Lib to stop Cons. When informed at how low Lib vote share was in past, and vote would help Cons every one switched to NDP. Bad NDP ground game. Good Con ground game. Predictable result.

Liberals increased their vote share here by over 10%. Talking with people over the past couple of weeks I realized most were totally unaware of how far below the NDP/Con vote the Liberals were. They just wanted Carney/not Con so were voting Liberal. The NDP had a bad ground game, surprisingly.

Many I've talked to here don't get that, want Carnie to win but understand you give numbers. CPC and NDP always get around 22--24,000 votes. Liberals 7-8,000 in this riding. The Greens got more than the liberals a couple of elections ago.

Still looks like CPC will flip this to Gunn of all people.

Yes. CPC has the best ground game I've seen in 50 years. Poilievre had rally in rural Powell River about a month before election called. Enthusiastic crowd. Door knocking couple of weeks before election announced identifying their supporters. NDP almost invisible. Retiring NDP MP. Sigh...Gunn??

Southbound border traffic plummets amid American tariff and annexation threats Long weekend car traffic was down by more than 40% at BC's busy Peace Arch crossing.

STORY + DATA: The scale of Canadian efforts to boycott US goods is becoming clear.

New border data shows crossborder traffic has utterly plummeted in the last month. Southbound traffic during the recent holiday weekend dropped by more than 40% from last year.

Never mind the tchotchkes & swag. Subscribe for the (Canadian) stories the media are missing or misrepresenting.

If I may, here's David Gutnick's 2011 documentary on the Hawkins Cheezies company, as it aired on CBC's flagship weekend news magazine, Sunday Edition -- if you want a simultaneous example of why local companies like these are essential to the country, and why the CBC is too.

BC again best for job opportunities as Ontario's below-average results continue BC has had highest or second highest rate of job opportunities for 18 of past 24 months, while have-not Ontario has been below national average for 24 of 24.

#NDP is best at building an economy that is good for everyone (below).

Best at managing money (Fiscal Period Returns).

& best at Health Care (CIHI).

So Ontario, go for the best! ONDP

I'm not all that up on things, being an old guy, but...

I thought it was common knowledge by now to avoid these block lists. Many are scams. They might start out with accounts that you would block, but names can be added later on that you aren't aware of. Surprising #bluesky allows them.
