Carey Price came out in support of CCFR, a pro-gun organization that recently started using the promo code “poly” for discounts. Carey, Montrealers have supported you for years, but in return, supporting an organization that mocks the Polytechnique killing is shameful #cdnpoli

choosing to not vote is not the flex you think it is

[Alex Laurent @AlexLaurent99]

It was never about protecting lives.

For only the fifth time, The Atlantic is endorsing a presidential candidate: Kamala Harris. “She believes in the freedom, equality, and dignity of all Americans,” our editors write. “She won’t abuse the power of the highest office in order to keep it.” https://t.co/uP4VN4xoDH

Safe abortions are essential to women's healthcare and rights.

Poilievre lets his anti-choice MPs repeatedly introduce anti-abortion legislation. Guess what? That’s anti-choice.

A woman's right to choose is non-negotiable.

What a sane thing to say in the @OurCommons. Sigh. 🙂

"If Russia wins, no state, and no border would feel secure. And the world would enter a new era of imperialist wars of conquest."

A brilliant piece in the Economist magazine from the author of “Sapiens” Yuval Noah Harari.

Big fucking deal for young folks out there!

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Starting December 15, first-time buyers and anyone buying a newly built home can choose a 30-year mortgage, instead of the usual 25.

That means smaller payments and more flexibility when you’re starting out, so you can buy that home sooner.

Félicitations, @jyduclos, pour votre nomination au poste de lieutenant du Québec.

Nous continuerons à travailler ensemble afin d’obtenir des résultats pour les Québécois et pour tous les Canadiens.

[Alex Laurent @AlexLaurent99]

Donc @francoislegault aimerait mieux travailler avec un gouvernement majoritaire conservateur de @PierrePoilievre, qui n’a que des slogans et aucun plan pour développer l’économie québécoise ?🤔

NOUVEAU

François Legault demande au chef du PQ @PaulPlamondon de faire pression sur le Bloc québécois pour voter en faveur de la motion de censure du PCC. Le PM du Québec déplore l’impasse en immigration avec le fédéral. #polqc #assnat

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

Give me a break. All the money from carbon pricing goes back, with the majority of Canadians (especially lower income) better off. I think Jagmeet Singh needs a briefing but also a climate plan - and one that supports the people the NDP professes to care about.

[Alex Laurent @AlexLaurent99]

@theJagmeetSingh knows this is completely false. Basically echoing Poilievre’s lies. Grow a spine.

[Globe Politics @globepolitics]

Singh signals NDP plan to oppose carbon tax, says it puts burden on ‘backs of working people’ https://t.co/lxQTHZF4Sl

The standards were extremely high for Harris.
She not only met, but exceeded the moment. She showed the American people what kind of leader she is.

#Debate2024

[Alex Laurent @AlexLaurent99]

2 drastically different visions and tone:

On one side: hope, unity, putting middle class folks first.
On the other side: an old mentally deranged man ranting, spewing hate, seeking division and fear.

@KamalaHarris is objectively the logical pick.

We’ve been waiting for his healthcare plan since 2015. Don’t think it’s gonna happen folks.

[Alex Laurent @AlexLaurent99]

At this point, the way she manages to handle herself is beyond remarkable. Tells a lot about Harris’ character and her ability to lead.
