Can anyone point me to any private members bills or legislation fm the CPC that would help workers rights, to unionize or improve working conditions by Fed regulated workers? If you're going to campaign for those votes, shouldn't you have some legislative history to support that? #cdnpoli

Real estate developers need to be more discerning about who they throw boatloads of money at
At some point we need a national conversation about why so many Canadian mayor are so bluntly bad.
Ken Sim's austerity budget is so severe that they're going to be REMOVING EXISTING BABY CHANGING TABLES

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

That disabled person you are judging?
Chances are they are already doing far more than they “should”, to the detriment of their own health.
Chances are they are acting “fine”, to make you feel more comfortable.
Chances are they'll get home and struggle to function as a result.
