Curious minds want to know... will PM Mark Carney be getting a pair for Christmas??

80 years ago, in Ottawa, across Canada, and worldwide, crowds gathered to mark the end of the war in Europe. Today, we remember the Canadians who helped make that victory possible through their service, sacrifice, and resolve. #VEDay80 #CanadaRemembers #WWII #OnThisDay

On this the 80th anniversary of VE day, a great read about Canada’s role in ending WWII by war historian Tim Cook in this morning’s @thehubcanada.bsky.social. thehub.ca/2025/05/08/t...

Correction - Poilievre did briefly in his opening remarks thanks the residents of Carleton www.cpac.ca/scrums/episo...

On the way into caucus, CTV’s @judytrinh.bsky.social asked Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre what he had learned from the election. Didn't answer the question nor did he thank the constituents of the riding of Carleton for giving him a job for the past 20 yrs. youtu.be/pZNSIjifMg8?...

The Conservative campaign put Poilievre front and centre, but it didn’t land. On The Big Story podcast, VP @jordanpaquet.bsky.social breaks down what went wrong and what the leader needs to rethink after the loss. Listen: toronto.citynews.ca/2025/05/05/p... #cdnpoli #TeamBluesky

The red dress is a powerful symbol, but the change must be real. Justice is long overdue. Today, we remember those who are missing and those who have been taken. #RedDressDay #MMIWG2S #HonourTheMissing
