Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

STORY: They are Canada's secret speed limits.

It will be 35 C in B.C. After the 2021 Lytton fire, Ottawa required rail companies to set speed limits for trains on hot weather days like today. But no one will publicly say what those speed limits are.

First Nations have raised concerns about the Building Canada Act since it was introduced as part of Bill C-5.

"Put simply, 78% of Canadians want the CBC/Radio-Canada to continue, especially if it addresses the major criticisms levelled against it. This is true across political lines, ages and regions." #cdnpoli
🚨 Our latest report, What Should the CBC Be? is out now!

The conclusion is clear: Canadians want CBC/Radio-Canada to continue, but it must evolve to remain relevant and trusted.

Here's a sneak peek at the report 🧵

“Sub-mediocre grievance gremlins”

Might be my new favourite descriptor for the CPC.
How bad was Stephen Harper? So bad that he led his Cons to four defeats with four different leaders and left his party destitute with absolutely no front bench of any depth to carry their torch forward. It’s an angry party full of sub-mediocre grievance gremlins and crap policy.

Obviously the solution is more swagger, right? 😕
sometimes i think about when Gregor Robertson defended vancouver’s record on housing and claimed that “our food trucks are globally revered”

for the record when i told people where i was from last year nobody broke down screaming “the food trucks!”
