Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

@beynate.bsky.social Thank you for your recent posts via Bluesky. I take it that you are more active here than some of your colleagues. All the same, your Bluesky profile still lists you as: 'Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities.' Can you please update this?

@aliciataylor.bsky.social Was this for Saturday, October 25th or Saturday, November 1st? The image doesn't show the date. Are there any future dates for Lethbridge planned?

Thank you very much to the hard work of everyone involved in the Forever Canadian petition!!

Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Alberta’s future is in Canada.🇨🇦 Alberta is #ForeverCanadian

@govnb.bsky.social The Government of Nova Scotia follows the Government of New Brunswick via Bluesky. As such, would it be possible for the Government to reciprocate by following the Government of New Brunswick?

Portland Frogs the Irish relations!!! ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #NoKings

Plenty of frogs present, along with their allies. In the last two seconds, we see that that hippo can sure move too! :)

“What is astonishing to me as a legal scholar is that the alcohol industry has somehow circumvented their legal and moral responsibility to warn consumers.” No question this bill should be made law. Make alcohol follow the same plain packaging rules as tobacco.

This weekend, there were over 300 pop-up #ForeverCanadian signature collection locations across Alberta, and we are only gaining speed. Volunteers, thank you so much for your time, commitment, passion and creativity. That’s what being a proud Canadian is all about. #cdnpoli

“Empires once built railways. Now they build algorithms” “If Canada cannot govern the code that governs Canadians, then we are no longer a sovereign democracy,” #CanadaStrong #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

That looks like a whole lot of petition papers!! Nicely-done video too. :) #ForeverCanadian

It's great to see the Government of BC now on Bluesky. If memory serves me correctly, the Government of BC now joins other Canadian provinces. But it may be the first Western Canadian province to get a province-level Bluesky account.

The Honourable Thomas Lukaszuk has his petition approved. It looks like they are set to collect physical signatures very shortly!

Please check out my various Starter Packs, including a Starter Pack of CBC reporters and Starter Packs pertaining to federal politicians here in Canada.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

@lorirn.bsky.social Hi Lori, I have a Starter Pack of Liberal MPs that I was able to find. I found 87. Out of a total of 169, that would be just ever so slightly over half. Can't be sure that all the accounts are genuine, though. go.bsky.app/75swtVf

#Cdnpoli There are now six federal government departments / entities in Canada, of which I am aware, present on Bluesky. go.bsky.app/TKA6sXk

@snacking.dev Aaron, Just discovered a few more federal government bodies today. Thought that I'd best let you know. Canadian Human Rights Commission @cdnhumanrights.bsky.social Office of the Federal Housing Advocate @housinglogement.bsky.social

@wendyatlanticcan.bsky.social Hi, Today, I discovered a few more fed gov't entities on Bluesky. Thought that you might be intrigued to know. Canadian Human Rights Commission @cdnhumanrights.bsky.social Office of the Federal Housing Advocate @housinglogement.bsky.social ...

Charlie Angus has some pretty powerful words here. And makes some really good points!!

• "Dachau was the first step on the road to atrocity." • "Now, anything is frighteningly possible." "But remember, as difficult as the times are, it is much easier to resist fascism now than when the abuse of law becomes absolute." #AlligatorDachau #DeathCamp @charlieangus104.bsky.social #Resist

A really sad and demoralizing development. If such a trend continues, our PM might wind up being dubbed 'Capitulation Carney.' And this is just after Canada apparently agreed to a crazy high 5% of GDP being spent on war??! Is Carney going to wind up sacrificing dairy too to appease the U.S.?

Strong words coming from Charlie Angus here. It's worth remembering that Keir Starmer is with Labour. This present stance is making me wonder whether Starmer might be trying to outdo former PM Tony Blair, insofar as willingness to make the UK a tool to be used by a right-wing American president.

The Trans Mountain pipeline is a financial disaster. Fossil fuels are killing the planet and robbing our futures. If we want our economy and environment to thrive, Canada must invest in wind, solar, geothermal, modern grids, public transit, health, and housing, not pipelines.

@stevenguilbeault.bsky.social One other quick question: Would you consider following @nathalieprovost.bsky.social ? She's part of your department now, yes? That is, assuming that the @nathalieprovost.bsky.social is a genuine acct, right?

@stevenguilbeault.bsky.social As the leader of the Dept of Canadian Heritage, I don't suppose that you would have any idea why Heritage hasn't started up a presence via Bluesky as of yet, would you?

@bcsupremecourt.bsky.social @bccourtofappeal.bsky.social Is there any chance that you might start to follow this Bluesky account? @bcprovincialcourt.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/bcpr...

@ginettept.bsky.social Hon. Petitpas-Taylor, Congrats on getting re-elected in your riding on April 28th. All the same, your Bsky profile still indicates that you're President of the Treasury Board. I understand that there was a post-election cabinet shuffle. Would it be possible to update this?

@tomosborneca.bsky.social I couldn't help but notice that your profile indicates: 'Tom Osborne, the Liberal candidate in the riding of Cape Spear for the 2025 Federal Election..' I understand that you are no longer just a candidate for the riding but the MP for the riding, correct?

@orourkeguelph.bsky.social I happened to notice that your profile indicates: 'MP-designate for Guelph ' All the same, you are listed under 'Current Members of Parliament' at: www.ourcommons.ca/members/en/s... As such, would it be possible to change 'MP-designate' to 'MP'?

@asskickerleague.bsky.social Hey Aaron. Were you aware of this Bluesky acct? bsky.app/profile/take... Looks interesting!

@drdougeyolfson.bsky.social On a bit of a semi-related note, as per what provincial politicians in British Columbia can and can't do, it seems that they can no longer remain municipal councillors. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... I trust that there's no similar provision for MPs also doing medicine.

@frpc.bsky.social Just so you know, I have reason to believe that the account for the CRTC that you are following is not the CRTC. Or, well, at least, it's not the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. (Maybe it's some other CRTC somewhere else in the world, but not Canada's)

@drdougeyolfson.bsky.social I couldn't help but see that your profile notes: 'Canadian Emergency Doctor, former Liberal MP' Can that be updated to 'Liberal MP, former Canadian Emergency Doctor' ?

@johnpauldanko.bsky.social Are you by chance the John-Paul Danko who is now a Member of Parliament? If so, would it be possible to update your Bsky bio? (It still suggests that you're a Hamilton city councillor, but doesn't mention you being an MP.)

@lesliechurch.bsky.social Your Bsky profile notes: 'Liberal Party of Canada candidate for Toronto-St. Paul's. 🇨🇦' I believe that you can upgrade that now to: 'Liberal Party Member of Parliament for Toronto-St. Paul's. 🇨🇦 '

Hmm... Who might Linus possibly be referencing?

@nikiashton.bsky.social My sympathies to you in your loss in the recent election. It must be troubling to lose one's job so publicly. It might also be a question to ask: If the voting system weren't still FPTP, would the electoral outcome have been different for you?

@npd.ca Je m'excuse. Je ne peux pas communiquer bien en français. Mais, je peux voir que vous ne suivez pas une députée qui est avec le NPD: @heathermcpherson.bsky.social Est-ce que vous pouvez commencer à suivre Heather McPherson sur le Bluesky?

@ndp.ca Your account appears to be following 10 other accts: Jonathan Gauvin, Brian Masse, Alistair MacGregor, Bonita Zarrillo, Blake Desjarlais, Charlie Angus, Matthew Green, Alexandre Boulerice, Jagmeet Singh and Bluesky.

@laurelcollins.bsky.social My sympathies to you in your loss in the recent election. It must be troubling to lose one's job so publicly. It's nice to see that you have still posted a Bsky message subsequent to the election, though. And congratulated the winner of the election in your riding.

@rachelreading.bsky.social I trust that you are enjoying your retirement. Or, well, at least as best as you can, given the recent devastation wrought upon the party that you had represented during your time as an MP.

@dickcannings.bsky.social I trust that you are enjoying your retirement. Or, well, at least as best as you can, given the recent devastation wrought upon the party that you had represented during your time as an MP.

@leiladance.bsky.social My sympathies to you in your loss in the recent election. It must be troubling to lose one's job so publicly. Also troubling in that the combined total for yourself & the Libs was greater than the Cons. But with FPTP, ppl will be stuck with a Con going forward.

@jagmeetsingh.ca My sympathies to you in your loss in the recent election. It must be troubling to lose one's job so publicly, especially as you are the leader. Or, at least you were, going into the recent election.

@matthewgreen.bsky.social My sympathies to you in your loss in the recent election. It must be troubling to lose one's job so publicly. It's definitely a question that lingers insofar as whether there was a voting system other than FPTP, would you have had a better chance at winning?

@blakedesjarlais.bsky.social My sympathies to you in your loss in the recent election. It must be troubling to lose one's job so publicly. Also troubling in that the combined total for yourself & the Libs was greater than the Cons. But with FPTP, ppl will be stuck with a Con going forward.

@vaguefemme.bsky.social Quick update: The CBC has adjusted the content of this article about the Greens slightly. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... As such, it now indicates, 'endorsing candidates in at least 90 per cent of all ridings 28 days before the election' A big improvement from before.

If we had any idea this was going on and the Leaders Debate Commission was this ignorant about Ezra, Rebel, and ForCanada, we would have called them ourselves just to present the facts.
