The Blue Jays’ inspiring playoff run captured the imagination of Canadians. As the Jays advanced in the playoffs, Canadians came to believe in the power of positivity & unity. Let’s carry that spirit with us in the days, weeks, & months ahead as we face serious challenges as a nation.

Watch this and you will love Dr. Jane Goodall even more💙
Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Poilievre & the MAGA CONS have been criticized for attacking scientists & research by pledging to cut funding for projects they label as influenced by woke ideology. This approach is seen as a threat to academic freedom & scientific integrity. Similar tactics used by far-right movements in the US.

Cities worldwide are embracing urban forest restoration.
As heatwaves & rising temperatures become more common, these green spaces can help reduce temperatures by 2 to 8°C.

Toronto’s story is just one example of what #GenerationRestoration can achieve:

Antivaxxers lie and say measles is ‘just a rash’

Please inform those you know about the dangers of measles and the need for vaccination.

Also tell them the earth is round, gravity exists and vaccines don’t cause autism.

At NATO meetings I understood that our allies will do anything to appease Trump.
This dude berated Canada about carrying our "weight".
I pointed out that every Canadian has family lying in the fields of Europe.
We carried our weight to free the likes of him from fascism.

‘Nation-building’ projects should by more than 'stuff' like pipelines and infrastructure. They should include programs that reflect Canadian values like equitable access to health care, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com
Opinion: ‘Nation-building’ projects should also reflect Canadian values
We can’t just focus on pipelines when health care and other soft-power initiatives are already our strengths

Liberals - do not listen to any messaging that says "Liberals already have it in the bag so Liberal voters needn't bother voting".
Disregard that stuff, it is a voter suppression technique.
Tomorrow get out and vote come hell or high water. #cdnpoli

Women advocated for their rights—and under a Liberal government, we’ll never let them be rolled back. We’ll defend real equity in health, at work, and beyond. Women's rights are non-negotiable. #CanadaStrong

What’s happening in the U.S. is a flashing red warning light. Canada, wake up. This election is a fight for democracy itself.
"Holy shit! Trump's FBI arrested a sitting judge! Canada this is no time to dick around! We know proximity and affinity of Poilievre to MAGA. We must show US and the world we are Elbows Up in this moment behind Mark Carney!"

Those of you who believe in Conservative Canadian values need to work to rebuild a more centrist coalition that leans right. If you vote for Poilievre, you are doing the opposite.

For anyone reading, a reminder: Carney didn't win yet! If you stay home, PP will win.
It’s far better to go out and vote than to go out and protest when it’s too late. 🇨🇦
