The #Greenland talk, like the 51st state nonsense, is just Trump “Art of the Deal” negotiation theatre. Outrageous ask, relentless pressure, and drive the other side to concede something smaller just to end the spectacle. #uspoli

Punctuation changes everything.

Whatever your opinion on Israel-Palestine: if you can't differentiate between the Palestinian people and Hamas, or between Jewish people and the state of Israel, you have no business feigning understanding of the conflict, nor of anyone's foreign policy on recognizing Palestine.

Listen—I've been using em dashes and en dashes – correctly – for a long time. Just because ChatGPT just figured it out, doesn't mean everything you receive that uses one is AI generated. Don't punish me for knowing my option keys—lest I have to become a double-dash person. #grammar

No surprises here—he wrote a book about how he negotiates. His "art of the deal" can be summarized as: start with unreasonable demands, throw a tantrum to wear them down, then feign making a concession to what you actually wanted. Like children do. #uspoli #cdnpoli www.wsj.com/world/americ...

If you’re having a bad day, just remember that Poilievre has to watch the speech from the throne from the gallery. #SpeechFromTheThrone

The problem is the Leafs aren’t a hockey team. They’re a group of individually talented hockey players all wearing the same jersey. #LeafsForever #StanleyCup

Ok… I’m an Oilers bandwagon fan now. Need a Canadian team to win.

NGL I’ll probably be a bandwagon Oilers fan by 11pm tonight. #LeafsForever (except past round 2). @edmontonoilers.bsky.social

The irony is that the #StanleyCup lives a block north of where the team with the longest cup drought plays. The Leafs will probably have to heist it before they hoist it. #LeafsForever (for some reason).

As someone with a disability, days like this mean an increase to the already daily reminders of how inaccessible some things still are. Particularly disheartening as a programmer, though, seeing this statistic barely change, knowing just how easy it is to make things accessible. #gaad #a11y

Our electoral system is broken, and yes I know it’s not the fault of NDP voters. But, if you know your car is broken, and you know it’s going to break down on you, do you drive it into a bad storm with your family inside? Or do you get a loaner until it’s fixed? #cdnpoli @fairvote.ca

Thank you, NDP, for electing so many Conservatives. Great job! 😑 #cdnpoli

I think so much better of Poilievre for conceding. I wasn't sure he would. Our democracy is strengthened by that.

The one thing the NDP did excel at this election was electing Conservatives. #cdnpoli

My 2022 prediction: ✅ Trudeau Resigns ❌ PM Freeland ✅ Embarassing PP defeat ⏰ PP resigns (he can’t not) 🤷‍♂️ Cons split ✅ Singh still leader (going into the election anyway) ❌NDP gaining seats 😬 #cdnpoli #elxn45

Kudos to Poilievre for congratulating Carney, and for insisting that he must, despite the boos. #elxn45 #cdnpoli

I can’t wait to never hear PP’s voice again. #cdnpoli #elxn45

Poilievre will have to get a real job now. #cdnpoli

Elon Musk is Trump’s Goebbels, and Stephen Miller is his Himmler.

PP’s ads are so tone-deaf it’s hilarious. Two boomers at a driving range complaining that the housing market they inflated has impacted their kids. Or ex-PM Geppetto Harper, the reason for 10 Liberal years, touting his Pinocchio as change—and teaching him how to smile, apparently. #cdnpoli #elxn45

Hey Mainstreet, your bias is showing. #elxn45 #cdnpoli @mainstresearch.bsky.social

This is Poilievre’s 9th election, let that sink in, 9th, this is Mark Carney’s 1st. Who is the change candidate, hmmm, let me think🇨🇦

Poilievre kept repeating talking points, saying “vote for change”. HE’S BEEN IN PARLIAMENT FOR 20 YEARS! He was part of the Harper gov’t in power for a decade with the worst economic record, worst jobs growth since WWII. The highest trade deficits in Canadian history! That’s not change! #Debate2025

His closing statement was almost word for word one of his commercials.

Banker or wanker. Your choice, Canada. #cdnpoli #elxn45

Poilievre is banking on a desire for change, but over-relying on Carney not being that change. 29 times in the debate he referred to: last decade x10, Trudeau/Liberal promises x7, or just straight change x12. Much to PP's chagrin, Carney isn't Trudeau, and people do see him as change. #cdnpoli

Can't wait for tonight's recap. Here's one perspective on the French debate. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli

Ironically I counted 10 times Poilievre referenced the last decade in some way. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli

I don't think this debate will move the needle on the polls at all. Same guys saying the same things they've been saying for 3 weeks. Nothing new, no one stood out. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli

Poilievre's "gag order" excuse re security clearance is an admission of ignorance, and that he states opinion as fact. Clearance would both expose him to the truth, and prevent him from lying about it—so it's nothing more than plausible deniability allowing him to lie. #cdnpoli #Debate2025

Politics aside – as a disabled Canadian who relies on captions – I am personally offended by the constant, interrupting during the debate, primarily by Jagmeet Singh, inconsiderately making political participation inaccessible to me. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli

You can hear the wheels in PP's head screeching as he tries to steer every answer towards a talking point or a slogan. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli

Poilievre's pledge to "approve projects on national security grounds" sounds a lot like Trump's tariffs under the guise of national emergency. Forcing through executive decisions without due process under a false, fear-based premise. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli #CanadaSky

Poilievre's promises to green light Ring of Fire projects is not possible without Indigenous consent. This is a critical point. He's either lying, doesn't know what he's talking about, or is willing to move ahead without SCC mandated consent. #Debate2025 #cdnpoli #elxn45 #CanadaSky

Poilievre is fear-mongering with this #Charter talk. No leader thinks violent criminals should get off easy, they simply think upholding the Constitution, including the Charter, means letting the judicial branch do its job without Trump-esq executive branch interference. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli

Poilievre talking over people saying "false" reminds me of someone..🤔 #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli

Debates are not inclusive when candidates are allowed to speak over one another and the captions only read "[All speaking at once]". Not only is it unproductive, but it's inconsiderate. #debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli #a11y

We're at 2x "for a change"s. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli #CanadaSky

PP is going off a memorized script, not answering the questions. This is for soundbites later. #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli

Debate drinking game: drink every time Poilievre uses a slogan as part of an answer. Here's my list so far, what am I missing: - Lost liberal decade - Build the homes - Stop the crime - Fix the budget - Axe the tax - ...for a change #Debate2025 #elxn45 #cdnpoli #CanadaSky

It's that time again! @votecompass.bsky.social #cdnpoli #elxn45 share.votecompass.com/PHOLMaG5aJP8...

3 years ago I predicted JT resignation, but was wrong about Freeland. I’m on track for PP’s embarrassing defeat (losing a 24-point lead), and he’ll probably resign as leader. Jagmeet is still somehow leader of the NDP, but I was way off on seats.😬 #cdnpoli #elxn45 #CanadaSky

What a game! Gorgeous OT goal. #LeafsNation
