My Country
My King
My PM

Canada is unique with our own identity. Bi-lingual and diverse.
We welcome immigrants of all races and religions and skin colour.
We respect women’s rights and LGBT rights.
Like the majority of the world we have universal healthcare.
We are sovereign & proud and free.

Our Canada - a mosaic that welcomes diversity and promotes inclusion. A sovereign nation - strong and free. 🇨🇦❤️

Dear Mr Pollievre, some ways to improve the speech you gave yesterday
1 cut the putdowns to cabinet members who were legitimately elected
2 identify that you’re looking forward to passionate & collaborative dialogue
3 express gratitude to Prime Minister Carney for facilitating an early bi-election

So true! It’s crucial that we teach critical thinking so students can assess what they hear and not just accept it.

Carney’s the leader for the hard work ahead of us to stay as a sovereign nation. PP is not strong enough. #elbowsup 🇨🇦

As Canada buckles down to protect its sovereignty, try to remember that Pierre Poilievre hand-delivered coffee and donuts to violent insurrectionists who wanted to overthrow the federal government and called for the murder of the Prime Minister.

Please don't fall for this nonsense that "the Liberals are going to win so bring your votes back home" that the other parties are pulling right now.
That is NOT how it works, they have NOT won yet, it is only polls and if we don't follow through with the ACTUAL VOTES, we lose. Polls are not votes!

I would like all Prime Minister's and party leaders to be required to have security clearance. Shouldn't that be the base minimum expectation???

Poilievre’s Refusal to Get Security Clearance Raises Questions about His Readiness to Govern | The Walrus Who seeks to lead a country without knowing the dangers it faces?

No security clearance? Then no voting clearance from me. Surrounding yourself with our flags doesn't change that.
"Among opposition party leaders, Poilievre is alone in refusing to apply for a security clearance."
