Everyone’s mad that we backed down on the tech tax. But here’s why this might be the smartest move we’ve made.

As a Métis woman, I honour the strength, stories, and spirit of our Peoples, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis.

This is a day to celebrate who we are, where we come from, and the path we’re building for future generations.

Our voices matter.
Our cultures endure.
Our communities thrive.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think that the protestors in the USA who are waving the Mexico flag are hurting their cause by playing into the idea that there is a 'foreign invasion'. If it were American flags being flown, the folks who are on the fence would be more likely to relate.

@larrydallas1977.bsky.social Hey - I was wondering about your energy bill this past month or so. Did the removal of the carbon tax actually make a difference for you?

RIP Peter David.
I first read one of his books when he was writing for Star Trek. His novels in that world are wonderful, and I still have copies of all of them.
I had the pleasure of meeting him and Kathleen at FanExpo one year. My friend and I chatted with him for over an hour.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Mr. Prime Minister. I and millions of Canadians feel you should make it mandatory for PP to return to Parliament to have his Top Secret Clearance first. Many feel he is compromised.

“…this morning, from a war zone half a world away, I was reading about your election. And for the first time in days, I exhaled.

A small, almost invisible breath. Relief.

And then came gratitude…

You didn’t just choose kindness or experience…

You chose not to flirt with fascism.”

This is still a nail-biter for me. The numbers of ridings are still shifting as the last 10-20% of votes are being counted. There are still lots of close races.

I would like our new government to make obtaining a security clearance a condition of holding a seat in government. #cdnpoli

I feel like the various news outlets are calling results much too early. I mean, I understand trends, but I also understand that 130 of 233 polls reporting does not yet mean a full result. #cdnpoli

I have not been so anxious about a vote result since the Quebec referendum; nor felt so strongly that our country's future hangs in the balance. Please, fellow Canadians - don't let us all down. #cdnpoli

Why do some folks WANT a prime minister who doesn't have a security clearance?
Genuine question to the folks who support Poilieve.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

House votes to rein in federal judges amid Trump's attacks on the courts
Republicans passed a bill aiming to curb district court judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions, which have stymied Trump's agenda in some cases.

Everything coming out of the USA that has the government being not just complicit but co-operating and actively supporting the dismantling of all possible legal checks and balances, I just get sicker. I never bought into US exceptionalism, but I genuinely thought better of of them than this. #uspoli

I am seeing a lot of 'we live in unprecedented times' posts, where people seem to feel as though because they have always lived in peace and prosperity that everyone always has.

These times are not unprecedented. Humanity has seen the fall of empires before. #uspoli #cdnpoli #history

I can't help but think that the best way to get off of the rollercoaster of Trump's brain trampoline is actually pretty straightforward.

Stop doing business with him, completely.

The USA is less than 5% of the world's population. There's a lot of other people to trade with. #trade #uspoli
