Today was a very stupid day but I have faith tomorrow will be stupider

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Over the past 24 hours, I’ve received many messages from constituents asking whether I stood for Monday’s ovation in the House of Commons connected to the murder of American podcaster Charlie Kirk. The answer is no, I did not stand. Neither did many of my Liberal colleagues. Let me be clear: I am strongly opposed to political violence in all its forms. I am also strongly opposed to hate speech and discrimination, which unfortunately permeated Mr. Kirk’s work. Furthermore, his violent death in the United States has only led to escalating violent rhetoric here in Canada. We have seen intensified hate speech and threats, harassment campaigns stoked by public officials, and organized mobs trying to destroy the careers of fellow Canadians. The injustice of what befell him last week should not be used to excuse or ignore any of this. Ignoring the harms that hate speech and harassment inflict on vulnerable communities means abandoning those who fear for their safety in the face of that rhetoric. I will not stand by while Canadians feel dehumanized by violent rhetoric, and threatened by the political movements and actors that wield it.

I've received many messages from concerned constituents over the past 24 hours, asking me about the standing ovation connected to Charlie Kirk in yesterday's session in the House of Commons. Please see my statement on the matter.

Thank you, Ernie, for this strong statement. I also appreciate the quick response I received. Some of my friends wrote to their MPs and have heard nothing.

The Air Canada strike was ended by union solidarity and militancy, and also by the Carney government’s intervention being so early and so tin-eared and ham-handed that it made AC admit being saved by arbitration was their whole bargaining strategy. Then it was gone and the strike ended! Lessons!

And according to the replay both Schneiders were wrong.

Understatement!

It is unacceptable for a National Heritage Site to host this MAGA musician. Hate has no place in Canada. I call on @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social to cancel this concert immediately.

Has Donald Trump ended or started something? Has Iran’s nuclear program been destroyed, or has Trump set the table for a wider regional war that will suck in the Americans?
