Centrist in Spirit

We need to remember, it is not ‘Us’ or ‘Them’. We are all in the same boat. There is no ‘Off’ switch, it is more than an addiction, it IS part of every day life. www.linkedin.com/posts/justin...

Progress, even in very small increments, is meaningful. A Emergency Order from the Supreme Court effectively telling Trump to sit down and shut up. [Yes, I know…, but one can hope] www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

@MarkCarney Imagine if the Leaders of the Nations most impacted by the current chaos, supported an effort such as described by David Brooks Would that not be an efficient path forward in to the coming era? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

Mr. Poilievre will bring U.S. style gun laws to Canada. #Debate2025

We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, more humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza, and a lasting two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians. #Debate2025

In this NDP/Lib race it’s clear who had the grit, energy, and passion to advocate big time for Van Centre. It’s Avi!

Thank you, Neil, for your support. Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World. tinyurl.com/yzmj52yj

Please Canadians, remember about Smartvoting.ca If we vote for the strongest candidate who is not a Conservative we can ensure Poilievre does not form a government. Even Pierre's own riding is vulnerable. Please get the message out 🇨🇦

Exceptional, plain language, perspective on the philosophy, history, and future risks of Tariffs, in light of the current economic chaos being wrought by the USA. It IS worth the 20 mins, for this master class, suited for general consumption. #Tariffs #Risks #Insights youtu.be/Io1G_5I7a-0?...

Brilliant reading. Carney, Japan And The EU proved America's Idiot Emperor Has No Clothes #TeamCanada #ElbowsUp open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

It’ll be a great time for a career in the trades.

It was heartening to see: The Hands Off rally drew committed individuals who, together, formed a passionate crowd.

Wisconsin! Judge Susan Crawford will work to protect your rights and freedoms. So get out there and vote today by 8pm. You can find your polling place at wisdems.org/vote. If you have any questions about voting, call or text the Voter Assistance Hotline at 608-336-3232.

Talk to the people who want the cheapest ticket, full stop. Flair, WestJet? If you want to pay for it, they buy ‘unleaded’. Sports, Skiing, Hockey? Zero Climate Impact? Are they essential? Let’s not be so hypocritical.

Are medicines, paved roads, and warm clothing something YOU are willing to give up? Crude Oil enables our whole lifestyle. Wind & Solar ONLY provide electricity. Oil = Bad is not the full story Hover over each box to see what will be lost. www.petrochemistry.eu/interactive-...

Canada is everything.

I mean if I have to vote for a centre-right party to keep a far-right infection from gaining any more power, I will, but I'd love an election someday where I'm not required to vote against my own interests

Canada had a less severe recession in 2008-'09 not only bc we have stronger banking regs but thanks to PM Carney as Governor of the Bank of Canada. I trust Carney's economic expertise to keep our economy strong & avoid the economic ruin Trump threatens with his tariffs. Poilievre has NO expertise.

For those not all that familiar with Canada’s Electoral Process, from an ‘external’ point of view www.bbc.com/news/article...

Somehow the camera was still afterwards... 🐻

Random Thoughts

Today marks 15 years since the Affordable Care Act became law. When Republicans tried to repeal it, John McCain stood up to his party and voted no. Now with Trump about to gut Medicaid, do any Republicans have the courage to oppose his plan and protect Americans' health care?

Another fire. Another seniors' building with no sprinklers. 15 hospitalized, 20 displaced in Burnaby. This is exactly why we called for urgent action after Nicholson Towers. We don’t need thoughts & prayers—we need federally funded safety. Now. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #cdnpoli #yvr

Elbows up, Canada.

Now is not the time for throwing stones. TEAM CANADA requires ALL of us pulling together to fight the existential threat South of the Border. Forgot Party Alliances for the moment, we have the most competent person already leading the way. Now is not the time to change horses. #MarkCarney

Canadian PM Carney has formed an alliance w/ the UK, France, Australia and the EU. Carney has filled the leadership void & is now the de facto leader of the US Opposition to Trump. The Canadian alliance has nukes. The Canadian flag is the symbol for the Opposition & a signal we will fight w/ them.

I know where my vote is going.

Canada aiming to remove internal trade barriers to grow economy and defend it's sovereignty. 🇨🇦

Country over party!!

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

It’s tough to argue with results. That Flair’s pullback is being discussed in chamber says a lot. #Tariffs #Canada #Effective youtu.be/wyvpyJqHDZw

Honestly, shouldn't the Canucks expel Rubio at this point? Having a foreign power threaten you on your own soil? Deport Marco's little ass.

Trump’s decision to offer special treatment for Canada’s oil & gas exports is a tell; he’s signaling where he is vulnerable, and who has his ear. My latest video column & a 🧵 on why 🇨🇦 needs to urgently impose an export tax on our oil & gas export to the US... www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_3Z...

Remind me again, who was the cross dresser who lead the FBI’s anti-gay campaign ? Those who scream the loudest, usually have the most to hide: www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...
