Today I wrapped up my affairs in Ottawa - parliamentary office closed down and secondary residence emptied. A farewell, not necessarily a goodbye.
It’s a weird feeling to be back here without a job to return to, but I’ve really enjoyed reuniting with old colleagues and staff.

Congratulations to @donvdavies.bsky.social on being named as interim leader of the @ndp.ca.
There’s a lot of rebuilding to do in the weeks and months ahead, but I know Don has the capabilities and experience to get our party on that path.

The strange part about going out into your community after an election loss is that it feels a bit like consoling people at your own funeral.

An early morning hike up Maple Mountain clears the head wonderfully!
Now it’s time to head down and into the chaos of E-Day. Let’s do this!

Today, CSIS confirmed India interfered with Poilievre's leadership race.
But Poilievre refuses to get his security clearance, so CSIS can’t share detailed intel with him.
Poilievre refuses to protect the integrity of his own party & refuses to protect our democracy.

Vimy or Vichy - the choice is simple.
We know where Danielle Smith and Pierre Poilievre stand.
I stand for Canada.
See you on the ridge my friends.

We got absolutely soaked while door knocking in North Cowichan today, and we may have even earned some support out of sympathy!
But never mind the weather; it’s always great to get out and say hello to folks where they live.
Thank you for your support!

We’re probably well past the time that this should have been done.
At what point does Global Affairs Canada issue a travel warning to Canadians heading to the US?
Because I think we're thoroughly at the point at which this is necessary.

A rainy day in Cowichan Bay! But we’re not made out of sugar, so onward to each door we go.
I’m so lucky to be out again and with a different volunteer today - our volunteers make all the difference and are what makes up our strong ground game here in Cowichan-Malahat-Langford.

The Conservatives will miss the carbon tax the most.
Now there’s no cover for them to hide from the massive corporate profits that the oil and gas sector makes every year, hoovering that straight from Canadians’ hard-earned money.

The convoy crew held the people of Ottawa hostage and tried to divide people with rage politics.
No wonder they are freaked out by Canadian solidarity and goodwill.
They promote bitterness.

As we celebrate the remarkable achievements in human rights, economic development, science, arts and culture, politics and more made by Canadian women, I am forever grateful for the amazing women role models and leaders I’ve met and continue to meet across Canada.
