In Ottawa I always walk along the locks of the Rideau Canal. They are the perfect tourist spot. We forget they were built to protect Canadian shipping from the threat of American invasion. A lot of people died building the canal. It was built to keep us independent. True. North. Strong. Free.

Ass kissing POS. Just imagine if we had elected this. #cdnpoli

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter. It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote. And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

I served 21 years in Parliament but in the last caucus I gave up even trying to offer advice because I could never pass the increasingly rigid purity tests. Thank you @heathermcpherson.bsky.social for reminding us that social democracy needs to be social and democratic. www.msn.com/en-ca/news/c...

Just no. Full stop. #never51

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

MAGA Maple believes they can break up our country. The Crown signed treaties with Indigenous nations 30 years before Alberta and Saskatchewan were even thought of. This is my @meidascanada.ca look at the treaties and our obligations on Orange Shirt Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HEw...

#NeverPeePee! #neverconservative Seriously, folks, enough of this hate and lying!

My latest on the indictment of James Comey and the attempt to hide the trail of dirty Russian money. charlieangus.substack.com/p/james-come...

Napheesa Collier will not play in Game 4 after sustaining an injury during a collision with Alyssa Thomas in the final minute of Game 3. Minnesota Coach Cheryl Reeve has been suspended from the game as well. The Lynx must win tomorrow to extend their season. #WNBA

Enough. The UCP need to go. #NeverConservatives

Cheryl Reeve RIPPED the refs as expected: "This is the look that our league wants for some reason. For the leadership to deem those 3 people, semifinals playoff worthy is fucking malpractice"

The high school drama on the Rideau is back: Poilievre says he is shocked/appalled that the PM is meeting global leaders in a time of global crisis. Yowzers. Ottawa media pundits now have something to dig deep into. Meanwhile the serious crises facing the world pass by unnoticed.

There is no "he said-she said" when it comes to genocide. During the fight against Apartheid some artists took a big pay cheques to perpetuate the racist regime. The rest of the artistic community stood up. There is no going along with a state that engages in the deliberate starvation of children

Only hours after it's release, thousands of Albertans are taking the first step in opposing Danielle Smith's flippant and cruel use of Notwithstanding Clause. Join this effort: transactionalberta.ca

There are a lot of reasons to try to ignore what's happenning in the world. But don't ignore this! The Charter is a crucial backstop that should prevent authoritarian government in Canada. But flippant use of the Notwithstanding Clause eliminates that backstop. It must be stopped at all costs.

On what planet does this treasonous, separatist, evil person think that she can simply abrogate the laws she doesn’t like. Enough, already. Get rid of her and bring in @naheednenshi.bsky.social! #abpoli #ableg #daniellesmith #cdnpoli #treason www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Poilievre never held a real job in his entire life. Never contributed to the economy. Lives in taxpayer-funded housing & collected a taxpayer-funded salary his entire working career. He was fired by the residents of his own riding and now he's cosplaying as an Albertan." #cdnpoli

American farmers are crying about an impending "farmaggedon". Their global markets are disappearing as countries walk away on America. Canada and Mexico are stepping up to fill the void. Trump created this crisis. The boycott is growing. Here is my latest. substack.com/home/post/p-...

#FAFO #elbowsup

PM Mark Carney 🇨🇦 - "The person who's putting lives at risk is the leader of the opposition who's voted against every single piece of gun legislation." #cdnpoli

In travelling across this great country with the Resistance/ @meidascanada.ca tour I hear the voice of Gord Downie where ever I go. @meidastouch.com Sundown in the Paris of the prairies Wheat kings have all treasures buried And all you hear are the rusty breezes Pushing around the weathervane Jesus

After Trump's gong show at the UN it was good to see PM Carney invoking Leonard Cohen. "In every moment where there's a crack, where there's a rupture, there is possibility — and it's our responsibility, it's our opportunity as Canada in this moment to find it." www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8-B...

Spain and Italy are sending warships to protect unarmed citizens bringing aid to the starving people of Gaza. Israel is a terror state engaged in deliberate mass starvation and killing of civilians. We need full sanctions. Full boycott and international action to end the genocide.

Canada, UK, France and Australia should also send warships to protect the Global Sumud Flotilla.

There are no bystanders in the fight against fascism. This is the latest @meidascanada.ca piece debunking the so-called "bystander effect." We have been taught that people don't stand up in the face of threat. It's not true. People do stand up. Please watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=46H-...

Sorry, not sorry, Petey-boy. This is Canada, not the 51st state. And never subservient. Charlie Angus is dead on the money with this one. #Never51 #elbowsup

I am in Regina to speak at the University. Tuesday evening on the threats to democracy, the rule of law and the ongoing war against education by the MAGA forces. It is open to the public. I hope to see people there. @meidascanada.ca @meidastouch.com

Saskatchewan friends - do NOT miss this!

Jamaican Oxtail in the pot, simmering away. Will be served up with Rice and Peas in another couple of hours.

An amazing story and amazing women. The other teams in the top 4 are all professional teams. The Canadian women are amateurs, crowdfunding to even enter the tournament. Well done, and we will all be watching them this weekend!

This is my message to David Lametti - newly appointed ambassador to the UN. There is no such thing as a bystander int the face of genocide. His claims that Canada waits for all the evidence before doing anything is a falsehood. substack.com/home/post/p-...

These women are amazing! And have to do crowdfunding just to go to the Worlds? Shame on Sport Canada!

The Resistance @meidascanada.ca tour is coming to Saskatchewan. I will be speaking at the University of Regina on tuesday night. 7pm. I hope to see you there. I can't wait to see the great people of the prairies. @meidastouch.com

I’m a citizen of both countries and if it didn’t cost $2600, I’d have dumped my American citizenship so fast it would make your head spin. I hate fascists with every fibre of my being. I will never be nice to them.

Here's my message to MAGA ambassador Pete Hoekstra. He gaslights our nation, blames Canadians for being mean to the US. He accuses of us being anti-American. He says we are mean and nasty and doesn't like us saying Elbows Up. Too bad Pete. We are proud anti-fascists www.youtube.com/watch?v=88Jh...

#Cdnpoli #canadasky #Alberta #democracy

I find this extremely chilling: I spoke w a reporter this morning about Kimmel. (Reporter was / is great) They got back to me a short while ago to say they sought White House comment & WH demands to know first which experts they spoke with. I told reporter I'm happy to be quoted IN THE STORY but 1/x

The @meidascanada.ca resistance tour is on the road. Sept 23 - University of Regina Oct 15 - Peterborough Oct 24- Sunshine Coast Oct 25- Victoria Check out the footage of our official tour launch in North Rustico PEI. @meidastouch.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sLN...

Canada's parliament started the week giving a standing O for free speech and the memory of Charlie Kirk. They ended it by joining Orban's Hungary and Trump's America in targeting @kneecapceol.bsky.social an Irish hip hop group for challenging the genocide. Not our finest hour.

Human rights can never be overruled by political ideology. Full stop. #cdnpoli #abpoli

ELBOWS UP 💪 VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦 ANTIFA 🍁

A Palestinian film about a little boy won an award and Israel cut off the funds immediately. Meanwhile we are subjected to whiny articles about how unfair it is to boycott Israeli films, academics, artists. This is about standing up to genocide. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

Well, if Petie-boy is unhappy, that’s just too effing bad. Because it must mean we’re doing something right! #elbowsup

I’m with @charlieangus104.bsky.social on this. Might well be the only time I have ever agreed with Jason Kenny, but these MapleMAGAts need to be called out for what they are. #abpoli #cdnpoli #elbowsup

You go, Charlie! No truck with fascists. #elbowsup #never51 #cdnpoli
