My dear Mum passed away yesterday at the age of 91. She was a proud nurse who dedicated her life to helping seniors through her work in long-term care homes. She will be missed. #family

Rainbow over Bowmanville tonight hopefully means better times ahead.

Is driving a right or a privilege? What if someone in the early stages of #dementia is behind the wheel? Dr. Saskia Sivananthan of @brainwell.bsky.social discusses this with @CBC Radio's noon show in Quebec. Interview begins at 27:40. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Quite possible that Australia's Dickson has pulled the same thing Canada's Carleton did earlier this week: defeating an opposition leader in their own seat. #auspol #cdnpoli

Thank you, Canada. Together, we’ll build #CanadaStrong

A big thank you to Bridget Girard and her team for her excellent showing in Bowmanville-Oshawa North last night. It was a hard fought race and you did the @liberalca.bsky.social proud!

And the dawn comes up like thunder as we head to the polls to cast our ballots in #Elxn2025 today. Fingers crossed that Bridget Girard and her @liberalca.bsky.social team emerge victorious tonight in Bowmanville-Oshawa North.

Wow! Elections Canada says more than 28,600 people voted at advance polls last week in Bowmanville-North Oshawa. The final push is on this weeked. Let's help Bridget Girard and @liberalca.bsky.social get over the finish line to flip the riding to red on Monday. #elxn2025

This almost seems real… #cdnpoli www.thebeaverton.com/2025/04/poil...

Canadians are still waiting for answers from our political leaders on how they'll address the need for more funding for #dementia research and support. Please read this important op-ed and ask candidates in your riding if they will #deliver4dementia. #cdnpoli www.linkedin.com/pulse/dement...

For many years, @tvotoday.bsky.social has been an oasis of in-depth, long-form interviews that get to the heart of matters affecting Ontarians. Now, host Steve Paikin says it's time to say goodbye. #onpoli www.tvo.org/article/and-...

Poilievre keeps repeating it, even though the Bank of Canada clearly said it was not true back in 2022. #cdnpoli

Only took about ten minutes to cast my vote this morning at the advance poll for Bowmanville-Oshawa North. Proud to vote for Bridget Girard of the @liberalca.bsky.social!

Show me one GIF from Star Trek that perfectly embodies your aura.

A 40-minute wait today at the advance poll to vote today for #Elxn2025. Let’s hope for a strong turnout in Bowmanville-North Oshawa. #cdnpoli

BREAKING: Canadians are being warned to be “extra vigilant” against deliberate disinformation efforts & campaigns during the last few weeks of the Canadian Federal Election. Disinformation has become a constant thing, but a significant ramp-up is expected as we approach the Debates later this week.

Good morning from #Bowmanville. Have a great week everyone!

Richmond is ready to fight, to protect, and to build. #CanadaStrong

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand just how lazy, moronic & dishonest Trump’s “math” is, that he claims is the basis for his “reciprocal tariffs” on nations all over the world (spoiler: they aren’t reciprocal), please watch this excellent CBC explanation by Andrew Chang. Then please share it.

Canada needs a robust and effective #communications strategy to counter the fire hose of falsehoods about our trade relationship with the U.S. A good read. #never51 #cdnpoli theconversation.com/forget-booin...

Yay I’m so glad some of you caught this interview! It’s true, I’ll be on CTV Your Morning every Friday just after 8:00amET to do a lil fact check of the election campaign 🥰 I’m so excited!!!

Elbows up, Canada.

Eggs are the new fentanyl. #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Get a load of these two characters - grandnephews Cooper and Lincoln light up the room with their smiles. #family

For 25 years, Canada has been investing in aid and investing in children. Their dreams. Their safety. Their right to a future full of hope. #AidWorks🍁🌍 #Foreignaid

A hearty #HappyStPatricksDay to everyone.

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Meet Peter, Achol and Evan, ages 10, 8 and 5. The reckless actions of the world's richest men are killing the world's poorest kids www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Alan Story asked me to write about this moment in Canadian politics for a British audience and I think that it all boils down to our search for a saviour. The big question is what kind of Captain Canada do we want? theleftlane2024.substack.com/p/as-trump-s...

The sun rises a little earlier each morning and temperatures are rising as the snow melts. Spring will soon be here. #Bowmanville

Stats show that #dementia is becoming a serious health issue in Canada as our population ages. The @brainwell.bsky.social points out, there's still no new funding for our National Dementia Strategy. Which political parties will commit to #deliver4dementia #cdnpoli www.linkedin.com/posts/the-br...

5 years ago today, I wrote this "Shut it down" column, published the next day on the front page of The Globe and Mail. It remains the most impactful and most read piece I've ever written. #COVID19 consumed my life for the next few years. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... #PandemicJournalism

“It’s nearing the end of the republic but we’re cheering for the pickled egg.” A wonderful piece of writing from @mollymckew.bsky.social x.com/mollymckew/s...

Sad news from #Bowmanville this morning where downtown residents are assessing the damage from a devastating fire that severely damaged a number of apartments and small businesses last night. Fire crews still on the scene.

"Let them use corn cobs"

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.

Sign, perhaps one expects better from an international news organization of such high repute as @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social, but one must acknowledge that this was quickly corrected and a new update sent out a few minutes later. #cdnpoli

Since 1945, only two U.S. presidents have had negative approval ratings after one month in office. Both of them are named Donald Trump.

Deer My Friends You of given me a strong man date to pretect Ontario from the brilliunt Donald Trump and I will work my back off to pretect you by building a tunnil under the 401, making alcohol availabull at doctors offices and ahliminating hallway hellthcare by building less hallways. Premair

I’d like to ask some questions of my British friends, such as @chefarchiepie.bsky.social and @sundae-service.bsky.social. Why would your PM not speak up for its oldest ally and friend in the face of Trump’s aggression?
