@MarkJCarney, enough is enough. Every Canadian citizen detained by ICE must be legally returned home within 72 hours, no matter what. It's time to stand up for Canadians before U.S. interests and protect our sovereignty! #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
I'm deeply disappointed Canada is attending a Trump-run forum that discusses stopping so-called "transgenderism." This is the opposite of standing up for Canadian values, and most voters did NOT vote for this. The Liberals must cease this nonsense at once. #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
Jamil Jivani went to the White House without authorization from the Prime Minister. Backbench opposition MPs represent their ridings, and nothing else. He must testify before a parliamentary committee and disclose exactly what was discussed with VP Vance. #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
Looked out my window in Bowmanville after I woke up and was greeted by a literal apocalyptic orange sky from the northern Ontario wildfires. But no need to panic, I'm sure building another pipeline will fix this. #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
The current flag of Ontario is a colonial relic, adopted even though it doesn't represent the people who live in Ontario. Retweet if you agree that Ontario needs a new flag! #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong #InOurLifetime
From day one, I have firmly supported Ukraine's right to independence and self-determination. Unlike some "anti-imperialist" activists who flip-flop and push pro-Russia talking points, I am not confused about my position! #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
Your options for the BEY Liberals are; a) the EDA president who groped me's conservative buddy who will just act as a puppet for Ontario's right wing, b) an actual Liberal. If the Liberals in BEY have any damn common sense, they'll nominate Claire Seaborn. #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
Jamil Jivani says undocumented immigrants shouldn't get benefits. He's wrong. When someone puts in 30 years of hard work, pays taxes, and contributes to Canada, they've earned their keep. A paperwork dispute does not wipe out a lifetime of contributions. #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
Met someone in the community today who wants to start a Bowmanville—Oshawa North NDP EDA and asked me to share the concept! What would YOU want to see from a local B—ON NDP EDA? Drop your thoughts below. 👇 #CDNpoli #InOurLifetime (I am not affiliated with the New Democratic Party.)
Calling over 50% of Canadians "Liberal degenerates" because of ONE person is shameful. 57% of voters explicitly voted for parties that do not agree with Jamil's LGBTQ views. As an MP, he is elected to represent EVERYONE in his riding, including those who don't agree with him. #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
Jamil Jivani's claim is completely false; Canada Day and Multiculturalism Day are two entirely different holidays with separate funding streams. Politicians should not be allowed to spread disinformation like this to divide people. #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
The @provincialtimesca.bsky.social will soon be dropping endorsements for the GTA municipal races! As editor, I've chosen to focus my endorsements explicitly on candidates in Clarington, Oshawa, and Toronto. Who has your vote this fall and why? Let me know below! 👇 #CDNpoli #TOpoli #CanadaStrong
Premier Ford says Beavis & Butthead over here lied about being volunteers, but it STILL says a lot about the toxic crowd the Ford PCs attract when people who harass others is who show up to represent their culture. They can disown them, but they still own the energy. #CDNpoli #ONPoli #CanadaStrong
It's time to establish common-sense age limits for elected officials to ensure our government stays focused on the future.
After 32 years in uniform and 17 years as a CSA astronaut, capped off by flying around the Moon on Artemis II, Jeremy Hansen is moving on to a new chapter as an RCAF Reservist. Thank you for showing the world what Canada can achieve when we aim high. 🇨🇦🚀 #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
Watching OPSEU protest outside Todd McCarthy's empty office perfectly shows how Durham feels about the Ford PC-style vanishing act. Maybe by 2029, we can finally elect an MPP who actually shows up for work instead of leaving us with a ghost town??? One can hope! #CDNpoli #ONpoli #CanadaStrong
After being assaulted by Liberal EDA President Edward Nixon, I faced backlash & lost subscribers. Yet Liberals like Bridget Girard & Team Nate stood up for me first. One creep doesn't define all Liberals, just like kink at Pride doesn't brand every Liberal "degenerate." #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
As a Durham resident, I'm really disappointed to hear Rob Cerjanec is dropping out of the OLP leadership race. Ajax's MPP brought local roots and real potential to rebuild a party with a strong 905 voice. I wish him all the best in the Legislature. #CDNpoli #ONpoli #CanadaStrong
I take a photo with Jamil Jivani every year at Maplefest, where he's always told me I'm "authentic," refreshing, and principled. It's disheartening to see him pursue such a hostile stance against political opponents. As my MP, I expect better than this divisive rhetoric. #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
It is deeply concerning that my MP thinks that over 50% of Canadians represent "degeneracy." This highly divisive rhetoric is completely unbecoming of someone elected to represent our entire community. #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong #RestoretheNorth
Grateful to have attended the @provincialtimesca.bsky.social's first press conference today in Clarington! Thank you to the organizers for the invitation to an important discussion on community safety and the threats facing a local family. #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong
“We are not a perfect country, but our shared commitment to the values of Canada means that we should use this national day of celebration as an opportunity to recommit to building a more inclusive and just society today and in the future.” — Erin O'Toole, former Leader of the Official Opposition
9/ None of this is about forcing anyone to march. It's about whether a party that aspires to national government is willing to signal basic respect for millions of Canadians instead of treating their existence as optional culture-war terrain. For a lot of us, that signal has already been sent.
7/ The Tories' wider direction on transgender issues has become a particular non-starter for me, but when the pattern ALSO includes skipping these events while amplifying other messages (such as Walk with Israel), it starts feeling like a deliberate choice about whose concerns actually matter.
6/ Showing up at Pride, as Jack Layton, Justin Trudeau, Elizabeth May, Thomas Mulcair, Jagmeet Singh, Mark Carney, and Avi Lewis have all done at various points, is one straightforward way of meeting a community where it actually gathers, and allows leaders to hear out their concerns directly.
🧵 1/ Jamil Jivani's recent tweet argues that we shouldn't "normalize" a culture where politicians get grilled for skipping events like Pride. He quoted a photo of Prime Minister Carney at Toronto Pride. The image features some eye-catching elements, specifically people wearing dog-kink masks.
Since Melissa Whitefield likes to act tough with legal threats, I decided to call her bluff. Unlike her, I actually know the laws and can back up that she's a lying hack. If Ms. Whitefield truly wants to die on this hill, it's not going to go over very well for her.
