The outrage and fury from some Conservatives (okay, and some folks from other parties) after a recent floor crossing has opened an important conversation about representation — and who Members of Parliament should truly serve. 🧵⤵️

Poilievre and like-minded far-right individuals make space for hate, when hate should have NO place in Canada.

STATEMENT:

By now, you may have seen the photos or heard the news: a far-right hate group held a rally at the #Dartmouth Cenotaph at Sullivan’s Pond.
STATEMENT: By now, you may have seen the photos or heard the news: a far-right hate group held a rally at the Dartmouth Cenotaph at Sullivan’s Pond. The cenotaph is a sacred and solemn space—built to honour those who fought and sacrificed for freedom, not just for some, but for all. For a hate group to rally there is an insult to that sacrifice and an attack on the very values Canada stands for. Hate must have no place in Canada. Whether in Ottawa, where swastikas were flown alongside defaced Canadian flags, or at the NS/NB border with far-right Diagolon supporters—every time time politicians like Poilievre and the Conservatives lend support, they embolden them to go even further, spreading their hate and disinformation. Let’s be clear: this was not a peaceful protest. There is no peace in hate. There is no excuse, no justification, no room for neutrality. This was a white supremacist hate rally, and we must call it what it is. We must stand together—here in Dartmouth–Cole Harbour and across Canada—to reject this hate and defend the values that truly make us strong. —Darren Fisher, Member of Parliament Dartmouth—Cole Harbour

When you’re looking to #BuyCanadian, look closely.
I saw this at my local Sobeys.

This is forty.

It’s been a wild decade of many adventures with more ups than downs. And I’m feeling very grateful.

Popped by the Alderney Landing Farmers’ Market, Morley’s, and the Portland Street Crêperie this morning. #Dartmouth

We headed to the airport early this morning and it was frosty and slippery out there.
Take care friends! #halifax #dartmouth
