Trump is insane. Countries are going to pay to shop in the US.

Looking at so many ridings won with less than 40% of the vote and I might be coming around on ranked choice voting. (I'd still prefer pro-rep, but ranked choice is probably an easier sell.)

So, don’t force one of your MPs to step down so you can take their seat.
You didn’t get the job done and lost. Just admit it and move on with your life, or is the private sector to scary?

Mark Carney is a highly intelligent, warm man with a great sense oh humor. He will make Canadians proud at home and represent us very well around the world.

On a related note, this happened at an earlier rally yesterday in Saskatoon (in case you’re wondering):

Teri Michelle
(via Facebook.)

So if you were thinking of voting for the Conservative Party...
•••
I went to Polievre's rally in Saskatoon this evening. I wanted to hear him speak and I had questions. I was there with a friend. We stood near the back of the warehouse because it was crowded and very loud. I was wearing a trans rights t-shirt.
As Polievre was being introduced, a man came up to us and asked us to leave. We asked why. We hadn't done anything, we were there to listen, like everyone else. He said it's private property and we were trespassing. I said we signed up to be there. He said we needed to leave. I said why, we haven't done anything. He said if we don't leave we'll be arrested. Then he grabbed my arm. I wrenched it away. He went to grab it again and I avoided him. Then the cops grabbed me and marched me out.
Once we got outside we asked if we were being arrested.
They said we were trespassing and this was private property. Each of my arms were held by a different cop. I said if you guys let go of me I'll leave. They said "you're resisting" and handcuffed me. Four cops marched me to the street and went through my pockets. (They did a very poor job because I did have my ID in my pocket but they did not find it.) They said they needed my name. I said no.
They said if I didn't give them my name l'd be arrested. I said I didn't do anything. They said I was trespassing. I gave them my name and they confirmed my identity in their database. Then they uncuffed me and said if I came back to the rally I'd be arrested.
So that's your tax dollars hard at work folks. Cops handcuffing people to march them out of rallies for... not cheering? Wearing a pro-trans shirt? Standing at the back because it was very loud? Wanting to ask our political leaders some questions?
Polievre says Canada for Everybody, but he means only for people just like him.

Still can’t believe Ford slashed, burned, destroyed school budgets, hospital budgets, social services budgets, $10/day childcare budgets, university budgets, got rid of rent control, and hasn’t built ANY housing…and he got re-elected and you all still blame the Feds

Dale Smith @journodale.bsky.social · Apr 24

I cannot this repeat often enough, but STOP LOOKING TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO SOLVE PROVINCIAL PROBLEMS!
Federalism doesn't work like that. Dangling more money won't solve problems, and may in fact make things worse.
HOLD THE GODS DAMNED PREMIERS TO ACCOUNT!

‘Canada First’ Conservative MP attended prayer breakfast with Trump.

Bob Zimmer’s praise for Trump used to raise eyebrows locally. Now he’s trying to distance himself from a second MAGA administration.

Regardless where you land on political spectrum, if you consider all facts involved, you have to realize that Carney is THE choice.

Saw Carney on the stump this morning. He responded to the Trump comments, with an almost somber and despondent tone. Not a man who sees political opportunity, but concern for his country and a deep understanding how much this will hurt Canadians. No bravado, the room is silent and serious. #cdnpoli
