I hit Platinum in support. The second thing didn’t happen.

A little late to post this over here on Bluesky, but here’s my prediction for tonight…

#LockItIn: Liberal Majority Government

181 - Liberal
125 - Conservative
22 - Bloc Québécois
11 - NDP
3 - Green
1 - Independent
0 - PPC

In my latest #elxn45 Substack piece, I go over some decisions the Conservatives will have to make in the hours and days to come.

Sometimes, external factors make said decisions easier than anticipated… or not.

The Vibe Shift Something's in the air. An election? A changing of the seasons? Or a little bit of everything all of the time?

The vibe shift in #cdnpoli is real, and this might not be a repeat of 1984 after all.

In my latest #Substack piece, I discuss how the Liberals can make the most of the vibe shift, and how they can introduce and re-introduce @markjcarney.bsky.social to a new generation of voters.

The Second Session: Prorogation ended the most recent session of Parliament. How chaotic could the second session be — if it even happens?

The new Liberal leader will have to decide whether or not to bring back Parliament before dissolving for #elxn45. I go through a few potential scenarios in today’s #Substack piece: wisemanswords.substack.com/p/the-second...

In my latest #Substack piece, I do a moderately deep dive on the most recent session of Parliament. We got a little nerdy in this one, but there’s something in it for all #cdnpoli aficionados.

On the eve of the second #lpcldr debate and a #cdnpoli polling bonanza, there's probably no better time to announce a new little project I've been working on:

With that introduction out of the way, I'm forward to interacting with all of you as I get started on Bluesky!

Also, do we call these Bleets? Skys? Blues? Blys? Paul Skenes?

Besides the intricacies of parliamentary procedure and dabbling at a few trivia nights, what else do I enjoy?

The #Leafs, #Raptors, #F1, #D&D, #Overwatch, #StarWars, #Steelers, and the #BlueJays.

The Leafs will win the Stanley Cup some day. Maybe the day I finally hit Plat in Support.

Hello! I’m Jon, and I recently left the Hill, seven and a half years after I started as a summer intern. It was the honour of a lifetime to work in the offices of so many incredible Parliamentarians and Ministers.

Figured there’s no better time to send out my first…Bleet (?)
