Even though it is the bare minimum, it still really matters that Poilievre immediately accepted the results, was classy on defeat and pushed back on boos against Carney and talked about uniting the country.
It’s sad that we can’t take this for granted anymore, but I truly appreciate him doing that.

Conservatives missed all-candidates events at a much higher rate than the other major parties.
We looked for reports of no-shows in each of the 343 federal ridings, and here's what we found:

With another high profile sex assault case in the headlines, I hope the *many* survivors of sexual violence across this country take excellent care of themselves.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
