So far: no more CTax rebates while gas prices will stay the same or worse, re-opened the door to more pipelines and afraid of taxing the rich. Instead of Polliver they’re getting a neoliberal Trojan Horse. If only the federal NDP had their shit together… #cdnpoli
My government is cancelling the capital gains tax hike. We’re going to incentivize builders, innovators, and entrepreneurs to grow their businesses right here in Canada and create more good-paying jobs.

It’s time to build the strongest economy in the G7.

Liberal Party of Canada 🇨🇦 -
It's a choice between two visions:
Pierre Poilievre's politics of division — cutting vital programs and leaving our country more vulnerable and dependent.
And Mark Carney's serious plan to invest, to build, and to take control of our future. #cdnpoli

How to gauge support for a controversial bill/law/contract/whatever an 'MOU' is even supposed to be (enforceable probably not one of those things...): poll people who are as far removed from the negative consequences as they can be 🙄 #idiot #cdnpoli
Mark Carney's grand bargain with Alberta wasn't popular with climate activists, but it's a much different story with the broader public.

Why it's part of his push to return the Liberals to their former position on the political spectrum. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/12/o...
Mark Carney's grand bargain is more popular than you think
So far, the deal with Alberta hasn't cost the Liberal Party of Canada much support in the polls. Has the prime minister actually read the public mood correctly?

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

That’s assuming their gender contributed to their unelectability and not their history of warmongering (Clinton) and failure to stand up for trans rights and to speak out against genocide (Harris). Or being the second Clinton in a year the third Bush was running on the other side as well as someone
I am opposed to the prodemocracy coalition losing any more elections. I think running a female candidate for the third time since 2016 increases the chances of losing.
But thank you for trying to intentionally misunderstand the point.
You are - as a general matter - opposed the idea of a female being nominated for the presidency in 2028?

Hey @maxfawcett.bsky.social what kind of ‘breakthrough’ you think that is…? #idiot #cdnpoli
WATCH: Bill C-15 would allow cabinet ministers to exempt any individual or corporation from virtually any federal law for up to six years and includes no meaningful safeguards. When pressed in question period today, the government's response was "trust us."

As long as it also means a (largely) benevolent race of emotionally repressed aliens will land in Montana in 2063 to meet the drunken inventor of warp drive, it will have been worth it imo. Leave The Borg out of it though…
Seriously Star Trek. You can just be wrong about your World War III dates. It's cool. We don't need to have that part of the timeline. We can just skip straight to fully automated luxury gay space communism.

‘Canada is the only #G7 country without a national strategy. We rank 64th in the world on women’s #health. This is an unacceptable failure for a country that claims to lead.

The solutions are neither abstract nor novel.

Canada’s women’s health strategy ended in 1999. It shows.
Misdiagnoses. Blind spots. Worse outcomes for things we know how to treat.

With Bill 14, Danielle Smith joined the separatists and is now clearing all legal obstacles to Alberta separating from Canada.

No worries. Carnage Carney will soon announce an MOU where Smith commits to absolutely nothing and some idiot self-identified ‘centrist’ commentators will hail it as a ‘judicial breakthrough’ or whatever 🙄 (on the Hellsite, this would have been called a subtwit…) #cdnpoli #fascism #idiots
Smith doubled down on her anti court rhetoric today...

She even seemed to suggest that federally appointed judges couldn't render impartial rulings and that she believed her interpretation should always be above theirs.

It’s often the most vulnerable Canadians who don’t file their taxes and miss out on the benefits they need or have paid into.

So we’re introducing Automatic Federal Benefits — pre-filing taxes for up to 5.5 million lower-income Canadians.
