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.

Give me a fucking break. I’m a 52 year old gay man. I was a teenager in the late 1980s when the entire world described us as immoral, disgusting, disease carriers. People were arrested for “gross indecency” for kissing in public. Homophobic attacks were routine and somehow I’m not a fucking Nazi.

Pierre Poilievre admitting in the debate that he's going to suspend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms so he can defend the charter rights of the people he deems to be worthy should terrify everyone.
Seeing what's happening in the US with ICE he wants the same thing in Canada

Now that the election is officially underway, you may wonder what Senators do when there is an election campaign in progress? First, the Senate doesn't sit. In some European countries, the upper house sits while the lower house is campaigning. That's not the case here. #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada

To Poilievre's friends.
Lay off Carney's kid. Stop being a bunch of bullies and jerks.
It's not okay.

Here's my latest reflection on a lesson I learned from a woman who was in the second tower on 9/11.
When the world is turned upside down taking action is the only way to survive.
Our democracy is under threat but politicians are still living in 2024.
