Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar, with degrees from the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia. 84% of Rhodes Scholars are Democrats or Independents, compared with just 14% Republicans. It’ll be great having Abdul in the Senate.

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

Wab Kinew calls on Ottawa to abolish Indian Act: "I'm not sure if that lines up with your vision of Canada, that we still have a race-based form of identification in this country. It's long overdue that we have a relationship with Indigenous peoples that reflects who we are as Canadians today."

It wasn't Freeland having problems with PMJT that was my issue. My problem w/Freeland was she disrespected Canada's PM publicly by airing her problems with him to all of 🇨🇦. She disrupted 🇨🇦 in service of her ego to take down our PM publicly. Totally unnecessary& unprofessional. Especially a Dep PM!

All across America, millions of people who have avoided politics are shaken by what they’ve seen and heard. It’s no longer Democrat versus Republican or left versus right. It’s now democracy versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Fred DeLorey: "All of these separatist 'leaders,' not a single one of them have been elected to anything. Go put your name on a ballot. Try to become an MLA. Try to create the movement through a democratic process. You had your chance. It failed."

They keep blaming universities for turning people into liberals. It's not because they're taught liberalism, but bc education opens your eyes to a wider set of variables, giving the possibility of differing views. Once educated, people tend to reject the conservative agenda. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't make the rules

Mark Carney: "Very senior U.S. officials have directly made suggestions, intervened, so to speak, in Canadian sovereignty, Canadian democratic processes, encouraged certain outcomes, encouraged certain peoples through that process."
