Despite losing his seat in the election, Pierre Poilievre still lives at Stornaway - that’s tax-payer funded government housing. Ironic considering he spent his whole political career, including a few years as housing minister, denying affordable housing Canadian families.

Same. It’s frustrating to never feel like my views have been represented in the political halls.

I worked the election in Canada yesterday. The care and attention to detail with keeping ballots and voter information safe and secure before, during and after the vote, not to mention making the election day process easy for voters, is an impressive logistics masterpiece. 🇨🇦

Agree! He got the votes because he has ideas and because Canada does need change.

1h20 mins in line tonight to vote at the advance poll and there were still people in line as I left at 9:20. I’m working as a returning officer on election day, so wanted to make sure I voted early! #canpoli #elbowsup

Can we please stop saying “Trump’s policy”, “Trump administration” etc, and start saying “Republicans”. It’s all of them, not just him.

On now! Check it out!

Agree!!!

The Canadian Anti-Hate Network reports on the anti-choice candidates given the “Green Light” by Campaign Life Coalition. 84 of them! Actually there's even more because CLC excludes those who support abortion in *some* circumstances. ARCC counts those as anti-choice.

BREAKING: HE DID IT! HE DID IT! SENATOR @booker.senate.gov HAS BROKEN THE RECORD FOR LONGEST SENATE FLOOR SPEECH - BEATING RACIST STROM THURMOND'S 1957 SPEECH - 24 HOURS 18 MINUTES. "I'M NOT HERE BECAUSE OF HIS SPEECH, I'M HERE DESPITE HIS SPEECH!" THANK YOU, SENATOR!

Berettini fighting back in Miami! Love seeing him back playing so well. #tennis

I was at this event last night - just out of frame on the left. I’m glad I went. Carney handles himself calmly, leading w positivity and action - it feels like that’s who we want at the table with other world leaders as we defend our sovereignty and work our way through this complicated season.

Last night Poilievre had a large boisterous crowd in my hometown. No surprise given hate of Trudeau and love of Trump I hear all the time. Pierre appeals to anger about economy, vaccines and homeless crisis. Don't let polls make you comfortable. #CanadaStrong #CanadaElection #CanadaSky 🇨🇦

Just a reminder… In just a few days Danielle Smith is flying to the US on taxpayer dollars… To hang out with this guy. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I am asking Canadians for a strong, positive mandate to deal with President Trump and build a stronger economy here at home.

Elbows up, Canada!

I don’t do a lot of colourwork but this was a fun project - Christmas gift hats for my family a few years ago :) #knitsky #showmeyourknits

Is America going to end up being 50 small countries?

Great thread about the Canadian election process - I have also worked a few different Federal elections and truly, there is SO MUCH PAPERWORK, cross-checking, supervision etc. The system works.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them. We need to believe that he means what he says and act and prepare accordingly. 🇨🇦❤️

5 years ago today my kids came home from their last “normal” day of school before the pre/post pandemic line was drawn. I remember driving my kid to gymnastics that night, worried. Turned around partway and came back home. Why risk it, I thought?

“Tariff related money is pouring into the United States”… I’d like a fact check on this, please.

This should be the end of Trump. Why isn’t it? Democrats, where are you? This is unbelievable. 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

More of this!

I’ve always followed politics from a bit of a distance, but I’ve protested and I’ve worked election days and tried to stay engaged when it mattered. Now it feels like I need to ramp it up - join a party, make plans, and prepare to legitimately fight for our country. We aren’t perfect, but we are 🇨🇦.

I knew a 2nd Trump term was going to be bad, but this insanity is beyond anything that my friends and neighbours in Canada could have imagined.

I just saw multiple runners in shorts, a Dad and kid on inline skates, an adorable older couple grinning as they sped by on a tandem bike, an elderly woman smiling as she sat in the sun on a bench - sunny March days that bring the promise of summer are delightful!

I don’t understand why the president is allowed to spout nonsense about colonizing another country and the 25th amendment isn’t being invoked in addition to all the other horrors this is insane. It’s absolutely insane. It isn’t funny or even weird.

Just turned the heel on my first-ever sock! #knitsky

“We must be prepared to defend our sovereignty-not just with military spending, but with a population that is engaged, trained and ready.” Great piece by @petermacleod.bsky.social about how Canada needs a Civil Defence Force where every Canadian has a role to play. 🇨🇦💪 thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

What we would LOVE is if American media would shut this bullshit down - calling a sitting Prime Minister of a sovereign nation the “governor”, implying that you’ve already taken over our country, is unbelievably appalling. Stop laughing. Shut these people down. #Canada

“What he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us." This is the most extraordinary statement by a Canadian prime minister in the history of this country. The Trump administration is at war with Canada.

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy. SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

Putting every single Canadian politician on notice: There is going to be zero patience from the Canadian public for any nakedly partisan messaging moving forward. No cheap stunts, no reductive slogans: we need the best version of each and every one of you to show up for the rest of us right now.

Lunchtime sock knitting! Yarn from the stash of a dear friend’s mother - love the colours.

Dear Ontarians: Own your democracy and VOTE today! We can never take our democracy for granted.

We're experiencing an epidemic of femicide here in Ontario and and Ford refuses to name it. Don't give that goon another 4 years. We need to vote like women's lives matter!

Voting is harm reduction. We do not vote for perfection but for progress, step by step. If you have to pinch your nose while you do it, then do it. But "They all suck" is defeatist BS that only benefits the worst people in politics.

I love this @dragonstrings.bsky.social grey aurora borealis speckle, and matched with the gorgeous lupine from @sweetgeorgia.bsky.social… *swoon*. I’ve never knit a sweater, but I think I need one in this glorious purple-blue! #knitsky
