1/ Trump reminded many Canadians of something important:
We still care about decency, integrity, kindness, and competence in our leaders.
That’s not weakness — it’s character.
And it’s exactly what we need right now.
Here’s why I can’t support Pierre Poilievre. 🧵

@abdanielsmith.bsky.social admits she worked with Trump operatives to interfere in our election.

This isn’t a gaffe. It’s confirmation: Poilievre and Trump are aligned.

Pierre is MAGA. Different flag, same playbook.

Elections Canada must investigate.

Opposition parties love to demand transparency, accountability, and action—forgetting they were just in power. Leadership isn’t a campaign slogan; it’s a commitment. We need clear objectives, sustainable plans, and real outcomes all the time. Put citizens first.

Trump says Zelenskyy has “a lot of hatred for Putin.” No shit. Putin invaded Ukraine, killed 46,000+ soldiers, 12,600+ civilians, and bombed homes, hospitals, and schools. What’s next, defending Hitler? This isn’t strength—it’s cowardice. Supporting dictators over democracy is despicable.

Every MP, Premier, and elected official must work together to rebuild trust, act with integrity, and put the well-being of all citizens first. Greatness doesn’t come from tearing others down; it comes from standing up for what’s right and showing the world the strength of a united, principled nation

Proud to call @waynelongsj.bsky.social a friend—he’s a courageous voice for change. In party politics, towing the line is expected, but Wayne refuses. Canada needs a leader who can stand up and unify us. It’s time for new leadership. #cdnpoli #NBPoli @cbc-news.bsky.social

The goal was affordability, yet NBers face a 14-20¢/L surcharge—some of Canada’s highest prices—despite having a refinery in our backyard. Forget the fuel adjuster; let’s dig deeper and reset the conversation. Why are we paying so much?

Today we said goodbye to Gus—a big, goofy, loving soul who made life better with every wag of his tail. He wasn’t “just a dog”; he was family. He taught us to love deeply, find joy in the simple things, and savor every moment. We’ll carry him in our hearts forever. ❤️ Rest easy, Gus.
