It was an honour to meet His Holiness Pope Leo XIV today following his Mass of Inauguration. 
 
His message of unity and compassion inspires the best in us all.

It’s time to have an honest discussion about critical thinking.

The less educated you are, the more likely you are to vote Conservative.
Support for the Conservative Party of Canada decreases with education
There is an inverse relationship between education and support for the Conservative Party of Canada.

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges.

When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

Perspective is everything. Same venue, same crowd. How to make your rally look enormous by forcing photographers to keep at a distance and use a small group as a background if you want a close-up of the speaker. #cdnpoli

It would be great if progressive voters in Peterborough continue to throw their support behind the Liberal candidate Emma Harrison and send Conservative Michelle Ferreri back to vlogging from her bathtub.

You may see a lot of "Juno News" pretending to be an unbiased and accurate news organization on X. Certainly Poilievre favours them. Be aware they're actually True North, rebranded just before this election, a RW advocacy organization. Different name, same con game.

There is not one mention of LGBTQ2S+ in the Conservative Platform not one. Do a search, I did.

Diversity is not mentioned.

Inclusion is not mentioned.

Equality is not mentioned.

No funding for women's initiatives.

My last thought on this because I need some Offline Time:

Because of their fear of being defined as "not neutral" or "biased," the bodies who label "journalists" and adjudicate access are increasingly complicit in the destruction of our information ecosystem.

Meet the moment and grow a spine.
Literally like half of the questions are going to disinformation spewing grifter outlets who are using it as an opportunity to spew absolute bullshit under the guise of asking questions.

Great work, leaders debate.
Fucking disgusting the leaders debate made Mark Carney take TWO questions (plus follow ups, so four) from dogshit grifters who were behind the article targeting HIS CHILD

All bc they're too chickenshit to stand up to these asswipes that crawled out of their mom's basements for the night

It didn’t take long for #DougFord to ditch the Captain Canada persona.

“Gee whiz, folks. I’m flattered that Donald Trump wants to invade Canada to steal our land and resources and control the Northwest Passage. What a compliment!”
Premier Doug Ford today called President Trump's threats to make Canada the 51st state "a compliment."

It was Stephanie Levitz of the Globe and Mail followed by Rosie Barton of CBC.

PM Mark Carney put them both in their place with his replies to both of their questions, though Rosie Barton didn't really ask a question, she made a statement basically saying she found it hard to believe him.

“There will be no taxes on consumers, no taxes on Canadian industries,” says Pierre Poilievre as he announces that a Conservative government would scrap the whole carbon pricing system, including the federal backstop for industrial emissions.

I see that Poilievre is back on the “technology not taxes” bullshit today.
This is just magical thinking. Hoping someone else does all of the heavy lifting, and that they will develop said technology with no price signals to drive the innovation. Just absolute stupidity. #cdnpoli
