I spoke with UN Secretary-General António Guterres today. In this time of rising conflict, Canada is ready to lead. We will build coalitions, defend democracy, and stand up for our values on the world stage. As others step back from global leadership, Canada is stepping up.

“Timothy Garton Ash wrote in the Guardian, Canadian voters could be a “strong mounted brigade” to lead the world against the rise of authoritarianism and fascism “ (Just a teaser 👍) highly recommend reading this 🔥🔥🔥

Here are my initial thoughts on the 2025 election - what it means for Canada in the short term and what it means for the movement of social democracy in the long. substack.com/home/post/p-...

don’t ever let anyone tell you or your kids one person cant make a difference on their own, the entire Canadian political landscape was shifted in a genuinely large, unprecedented way all thanks for one man being an asshole loudly in a foreign country

Pierre Poilievre managed to go thru all that — years of campaigning on the public dime; the most important election in modern Canadian history; losing a historic lead in the polls with historic speed; losing his own riding — ALL without actually proving that he could pass the normal security check.

What a wonderful message from a daughter to her father. Well done, Charlie, well done.

I saw this FB message from one of my fearsome daughters. She was a baby went I left home for politics. I missed every school play, every graduation. Tomorrow I start at 8AM drywalling an upstairs room to support her fantastic tea shop business. So glad to be home and be still welcome.

This is a perfectly Canadian thread!

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.

I feel like Americans are the last to find out that yes, that is where you are.

Other countries have watched their democracies slip away quietly, without tanks in the streets. That may be where we’re headed—or where we already are.

Thank you, Charlie. Elbows Up!

On my last night as MP, I thank Jack Layton for inspiring me to run for public office. Jack made me believe it was possible to do politics with integrity. He loved our country and he loved people. He said politics was about getting your hands dirty and taking chances to make life better for people

I already voted Liberal, I bought in. But claiming this was ‘spontaneous’ and not orchestrated by the party as his plane majestically landed is why I know I’m eventually going to be disappointed. Liberals get a good thing and then just can’t help themselves. #election2025 #canpoli #cdnpoli

Listen, I know I’m eventually going to be disappointed by a Liberal government. But in a ‘SMH I’m voting NDP again’ way, not in a ‘march in the streets against fascism’ way. #election2025 #canpoli #cdnpoli

President Zelenskyy: "It is absolutely obvious that Russia is actually trying to fool the world - fool America& others -prolong the war further. That's why pressure is necessary…Yesterday's meetings in Vatican and Rome confirmed that our partners understand what's going on."

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

While mourning the Pope, thousands of people in Rome went from dead silence to an eruption of cheers when they spotted President Zelenskyy. Ukraine represents bravery, hope and unity in a world under assault by the forces of evil.

Regina Wascana likely the only other riding to flip. It would be political malpractice to let Kram keep the seat because we could not vote strategically.

This is the assignment for Monday: Ask EVERYONE you interact with if they have voted yet. Grocery store clerk, colleagues, teachers/students, Uber driver, crossing guard. Ask your kids if their friends have voted. Ask your neighbours in the elevator. Ask them all. #election2025 #canpoli #cdnpoli

Harper has spent 20 years building far right alliances around the world trying to destroy democracy. He used his time as Prime Minister to carve up Canada and sell us out to foreign entities. He groomed Poilievre to kill Canadian sovereignty. We cannot allow it to happen. We will not fall to fascism
