Four years ago, I stood right here and called on the Liberal government to use federal land to build affordable homes. Pierre Poilievre wants to sell off our land so rich developers can get richer by driving up prices. My government will use our public land to build 100,000 rent-controlled homes.

If I had a dime for every time someone told me that whatever crisis was happening was more important than worrying about women’s rights … such a lack of understanding that the equality is fundamental to our resilience and progress.

Missing gender parity in Cabinet by one woman AND kicking out Karina Gould is a deliberate message. This Cabinet could have had an equal number of women and men. It was a choice not to do that. Because it no longer matters to this government.

I rewatched “All the President’s Men” - favourite political movie- on the weekend. Quaint reminder of how a phony letter insulting Canadians derailed a political career. And now it’s daily fodder from the US President. In mourning today for the once great Washington Post that broke Watergate.

Anyone remember this promise from the 2021 Conservative campaign? You know the “GST holiday” that all those Conservative MPs ran on? The exact thing that Pierre Poilievre has now ordered them to vote against?

Imagine knowing you were second choice after Matt Gaetz.

I don’t think telling Trump supporters that this is what they voted for and they get what they deserve is going to be a winning argument.
