The Air Canada strike was ended by union solidarity and militancy, and also by the Carney government’s intervention being so early and so tin-eared and ham-handed that it made AC admit being saved by arbitration was their whole bargaining strategy. Then it was gone and the strike ended! Lessons!

Is #DougFord trying to pull a fast one on the people of Ontario again? Let's talk about Bills 10. Bill 10 is a "Tougher on crime" bill but has an ideological agenda. He wants the power to 'choose' judges. That's what streamlining the judiciary means. #onpoli globalnews.ca/video/111629...

People should be SHAMED for staying in office so long they die there, leading to legislative and electoral losses.

YOUR ego is NOT more important than the CAUSE.

Millions of people are going to die on the altar of career goals. And yet I will be viciously attacked for stating this obvious truth.

Kristi Noem's leadership of DHS has been nothing short of disastrous.

But while she seeks to turn the Department into a reality TV show – real people are hurting.

Here’s the thing — Poilievre must know his refusal to do the normal security check and get a security clearance during a sovereignty and security crisis has been badly hurting him with a LOT of voters. His excuse makes no rational, or even strategic sense.

So I’m assuming he knows he can’t get it.
Reminder: Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to apply for the normal, usual security clearance, the Canadian media is STILL under-reporting that, and I’m STILL choosing to assume under these dangerous and scary circumstances that it’s because he knows that he wouldn’t pass the security check.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith asked US administration to "put things on pause" to help Poilievre get elected as PM x.com/cspotweet/st...

This is some of the best messaging I’ve seen in a really long time. If the Libs don’t take this messaging Canada-wide, I’m going to be a little disappointed. Sound economics over sound bites, sound strategies over sound bites, sound policies over sound bites.
Canada is facing a challenging moment. Now's the time for strong, serious leaders like @mark-carney.bsky.social - that's why I'm running.

Volunteer with the @liberalca.bsky.social, spread the word, and be sure to get out and vote this election. Let's be #CanadaStrong
