Progressive struggling in a world bending towards hard right authoritarianism. That an x-PM is playing a lead role in that global trend, while maintaining influence here, is troubling.

It’s been a bad week for right wing populists in πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ & πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί.

anyway one of the reasons I posted this is that actually lots of people in lots of situations appreciate being affirmed or supported by masculinity, and it’s not necessarily sexual although it is definitely gendered, and I think the Discourse loses sight of that from time to time.

Fine, you've walked back while pretending to not walk back.

IMO the most important character trait is to recognize when I've made a mistake and learn from it.

Really?

For a new party leader without a seat, sure. But an incumbent who lost their seat? How many can you cite? Even at the provoncial level.

Free and fair elections in a functioning democracy are a wonderful thing. So is a plurality of beliefs amongst the citizens of Canada.

The sovereignty and strength of this imperfect, diverse assemblage of people is worthy of you casting your ballot.

If you haven’t voted already, GO! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ πŸ—³οΈ

A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives.

The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.

Exploring Canada, starting with Ontario and Quebec, has been my focus for the last 2 seasons. I am all for Canadian travel but a large surge is going to overwhelm the parks and facilities. It is going to be hard to find places to stay.

We have an unique opportunity as Canadians to to take all the turmoil from the trump regime and turn it to our favor.

We can travel within Canada and see places that we would never have seen beforehand as we would always favor the US over Canada for vacation destinations.

If we are serious about preserving Canada’s democracy and sovereignty, Canadian institutions need to stop tolerating the intolerant! πŸ‘‡ Amongst other things, that means blocking X, Rebel and others making $$ from purposefully purveying disinformation and division.

Raj: [The CPC] believe that the Liberal future means that [people] will be foraging for [their] food.

Carney: Is that right? Wow.

Raj: If you win, how will you reach out to the all the people who will have voted for Poilievre?

Carney: Well, they're not going to have to forage for food.

The "Brantford Boomer" became an election meme thanks to extremely online right wingers.

There's just one problem: @lukelebrun.ca found the real context, and it changes everything.

Scoops like this are why I was so stoked to have Luke on this week's episode of Bubble Pop.

Here's a taste:

Just vote guys.

We have this one in the bag if you VOTE.

More important than buying Canadian.

More important than boycotting America and its products.

More important than boycotting Tesla.

It’s getting the non-Con vote to the polls and make damn sure every single one votes.

That’s the REAL challenge I’m throwing down for Canada.

Trump brings up "Governor Trudeau" and says, "I have to be honest. As a state, it works great. As a nation ... why are we spending $200 billion? It doesn't make sense."

Do not be complacent, please vote.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦Liberals need to ignore the pollsters, just get out and vote, encourage friends, families and neighbours to do likewise.
In every riding.
Every vote counts, and lots of ridings will be really close!

Unless you are 100% certain the hat is real (not photo-shopped) I think you should delete it.

DF is a detestable human but IMO posting a faked association with a NAZI salute should never be done.

After demanding an election for the past two years, now a week away, piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre still hasn’t released a costed platform?
The reason, of course, is he and Jenni Byrne don’t want the media, experts or voters any reasonable time to examine it and pick it apart.
Vote wisely,
