Wearing my #paperclip! What it’s about: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

#Paperclips against tyranny! Everyone has one in a drawer somewhere, and they're a beautiful, simple way to demonstrate how we are all connected. I'm wearing one now, and gonna carry a bunch with me to hand out to anyone who asks why I'm wearing it. Brilliant idea!

Happy Labour Day! We now have Meidas Canada!! 🇨🇦 #Meidas #Canada #CharlieAngus

When @bradtakei.bsky.social and I first got together, we never imagined we’d one day celebrate Pride openly, let alone post about it on the internet. But here we are, joy and all. Happy Pride, everyone! Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and marching forward (glitter optional, but encouraged). 🌈✨

Remember when women said Trump was going to curtail women's rights and even lefty men said "lol you're being hysterical" and then he did? And remember when people said "hey he's a fascist" and were told they were being hysterical? And now he's threatening to undo the US constitution?

Devoted some time to a little art project this morning. Rally at 2pm outside the US Consulate, 1075 West Pender. Meetup for drinks after! #Never51 #HonkForCanada

A gathering in #Winnipeg today, recognizing and calling attention to the many missing and murdered indigenous women lost over the past decades in Canada.

This week on Elbows Up, we have everything you need to know about Canada's auto industry and the trade war. Including: jobs, plants, can we just ... make our own car here, ourselves? And of course, how to actually buy a car in a trade war. (Spoiler: Run, don't walk. Go now.) lnk.to/AhF2DG

Let's talk about the elephant in the room regarding the current fascist US regime and Alberta seperatism: Christian Nationalism. Long🧵 ahead #canpoli #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli #bcpoli #Alberta #BritishColumbia #Canada #turtleisland #Indigenous #mbpoli #skpoli #DanielleSmith

Working on it

Brilliant letter. I stand with the Saddle Lake Cree Nation in standing up for sovereignty. #CdnPoli

Let's make a big splash with this one and send a strong message! Tomorrow at noon, corner of 4th and Fir. #TeslaTakedown #Vancouver #ElbowsUp

Yeah, I think progressives need to take that word back from them. #WokeAF

Poilievre losing his seat is almost Shakespearean: Pretender to the throne riles countrymen with anger, gets defeated by guy with Joy in his name. It’s basically Macbeth.

Oh what a night! The OShow Scandal Panel will be all over it Wednesday when hopefully all the ridings are decided and we can analyze exactly what happened in the most consequential election in Canadian history. It's going to be EPIC 🇨🇦💪🏻 #CanadaSky #CanadaStrong #MarkCarney #Canada 💪🏻🇨🇦

Heard this song on the #ElbowsUp podcast this morning, and it's so beautiful. I was bawling by the end of the first verse, but in the best possible way. A true anthem for our times. #Canada #NorthernStar #DannyMichel #Anthem

A member of the Vancouver animation community has been injured in the Lapu Lapu Festival attack. Please consider helping him out if you're able 🙏❤️

OMG it's the icing on the cake!! Congratulations to Bruce Fanjoy, and to Ottawa Carleton! I think he'll make an absolutely splendid MP. ❤

We did it!!! Pierre Poilivere has LOST his #carleton riding seat to @brucefanjoy For the first time in history, people from across canada donated to brucefanjoy instead if within the own riding! I am so fucking proud of all you

Elbows up, Canada! 🇨🇦 Get out there and vote. Don’t let what is happening to us, happen to you.

TODAY is Election Day. This is our chance to defeat Pierre Poilievre and stop MAGA-style politics from taking hold in Canada. ✅ Protect democracy ✅ Save the CBC ✅ Defend the Charter ✅ Reject American-style extremism ✅ Keep Canada Canadian Find your polling station: www.elections.ca/Scripts/vis/...

Arrived at my polling station at 7am on the dot, and was delighted to see a line of people already waiting to vote.

It's go time! Last day to vote. Let's make it historic.

Exercise your right to vote today, Canadians! Own your democracy! 🇨🇦🗳️

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

It’s Election Day, Canada. Go vote Canada Strong.

Good luck today, Canada 🇨🇦 elbows up!

Get out and Vote Canada!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Yeah, do not let anything dissuade you from casting your ballot tomorrow. Polls don't win elections, and there's too much at stake to sit this one out. #Vote #CanadaSky

Heartbreaking to learn about the attack using an SUV on innocent people at the Lapu Lapu Filipino festival in Vancouver. My thoughts are with the families and friends of those who were killed and all who are injured.

I was out postering in Hastings Sunrise this morning and saw this. It feels like the scrappy words of encouragement I needed to hear this morning. #ElbowsUp

This time tomorrow, I'll be lined up to vote.

Thanks to @meidastouch.com for the shout out! The OShow was honoured to interview @brucefanjoy.bsky.social as he valiantly takes on Pierre Poilievre 🇨🇦💪🏻👀 #FanjoyVSPoilievre #cdnpoli #cdnmedia #Elxn2025 #CanadaStrong #Cndmedia #NeverPoliviere #CanadaVotes #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦💪🏻 🔗 youtu.be/tUxdEuPqTQo?si…

This man supports Mark Carney, he was waiting in line at an event and CPC protesters were harassing people and he gave them the finger, now his family is being attacked and trolled. Do not let hate win! #Canada www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
