I will never travel to the US again. Zero trust. Zero safety. They won’t recover from this in my lifetime.
No. Never have, never will. I wear my political heart on my sleeve, but I’m more independent than the conspiracies on this platform dictate. Beyond X, pretty much all the people associated with the Liberal party know very little about me or my life. That’s the truth. Ask them.
are you paid by @liberal_party or other groups associated with LPC to parrot their talking points?
Since campaigning to become Liberal leader, PM Carney has extended many olive branches to Conservative-minded Canadians. His recent policies and plans show he listens to that (moderate) side of the political spectrum, maybe more than the left. So why all the rage, Conservatives?
Ok, if you believe that, why are you upset? “You stole our idea…and that’s awesome” used to be one of the mantras of the Green Party when I volunteered for them in a different life. Wasn’t about taking credit so much as seeing the policies come to life through work and advocacy.
He stole the Conservative Platform. Open your God Damn eyes!

I’ve written about public perceptions of the criminal justice system. Much of the discourse here is unsurprising. People tend to want tougher/brutal sentences or claim the offenders are the real victims. My position is that we’re all human and crime responses should reflect that.
My belief as a sociologist who studies the criminal justice system is that Lich and Barber do not deserve 7 years in prison for their crimes but certainly a custodial sentence. It was NOT a peaceful protest. Anyone telling you different is a liar disinterested in truth & justice.
The #BlueJays need more from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and I don't understand why that's only being whispered instead of said out loud. If any player can turn it on in an instant, it's Vladdy. He can take this team from a postseason contender to a World Series contender by himself.
Davis is often perfectly positioned in LF. #LightsUpLetsGo
Davis Schneider!!! Blue Jays shrink the lead to 4-3 in the 6th. #LightsUpLetsGo
Let’s get to work and battle, @BlueJays. #LightsUpLetsGo
Today, I’ll be meeting with the premiers in Huntsville to talk about building up our industries and getting big, nation-building projects off the ground. Together, we’re moving from reliance to resilience, and building one strong, Canadian economy.

The longest winning streak at home. EVER. #lightsupletsgo
You have never given me or the majority of Canadians confidence you have any clue how to manage our economy and interests during unprecedented global challenges. So why don’t you, in painful detail, walk your audience through the precise steps you’d take to get this done?
Mark Carney is breaking his promise to get projects done fast. Still no list. Just more talk. While we give away our resources at a discount & become more dependent on the U.S., the Liberal government stands in the way of getting things built. We can’t wait for every project…
#BlueJays enter tonight leading 6-2 in the season series vs NYY. With 5 games remaining between these clubs (2 this week, 3 in Sep.), TOR can secure the head-to-head tiebreaker with a win tonight or tomorrow. Playoff ramifications, indeed.
