Fred played a role in getting Mr Harper elected. If he doesn’t count as “conservative” then conservatives will never win.

Last election, Conservative MP Randy Hoback handed Poilievre a 70-page report on how to manage Trump’s trade war after consulting 290 stakeholders

Officials say Poilievre never read it; his office denies it.

In it? “Exactly what Carney is talking about"

Ontario's public employees union is moaning about going back to work in the office fulltime

CBC's reporter, Naama Weingarten, thinks that it's a "childcare" issue

"Yeah, so along with commute times, then of course there is childcare that people are going to have to find accommodations for for that additional day that they will be in the office."

If you're caring for your children, are you really working fulltime?

Exactly @Sean_Speer

All the things you define as “economic reconciliation” are what will lead to Indigenous People beginning to manage prosperity instead of poverty!

That is the best outcome of all and for all!!

[Sean Speer @Sean_Speer]

I hate to weigh into this stuff but I’ve witnessed enough bullshit in recent days that it’s not hard to.

The idea that the reason that Indigenous peoples have poorer economic and social outcomes than non-Indigenous Canadians is because they come from a hunter-gatherer culture is precisely wrong.

In fact, it’s this type of paternalism that led to the Indian residential school system in the first place and continues to hold too many Indigenous people back.

Left- and right-wing paternalism has caused us to impose a form of socialism on Indigneous communities—including limited property rights, large-scale government transfers, poor access to private capital, and so on—and the results are predictably bad.

That’s why the most exciting developments these days involve land-use and tax reform, economic partnerships and growing own-source revenues—what the @MLInstitute and others have come to call “economic reconciliation.”

The growing number of Indigenous communities thriving today under market-based conditions is a direct rebuttal to the notion that somehow Indigneous peoples are just culturally wired to be poor. Paternalistic policies have made them poor. Freedom, enterprise and self-sufficiency can make them prosperous.

According to @ParksCanada, John Turner is a "national historic person", but not Brian Mulroney.

That's like saying Robin was a superhero, but not Batman.

For Trudeau Sr, the designation took 7 mos. after his death. 18 mos. for Pearson, 17 mos. for Diefenbaker, but 25 years for Mulroney? Make that make sense.

[Brad Wall @BradWall306]

The Premier is absolutely right. 👇

[Gary Vidal @GaryAVidal]

@FredDeLorey Unfortunately Fred you are trying to apply logic with people who are illogical and have lost their ability to use any common sense. They think the whole world is out to get them no matter what.

This is a really great article that shows what it looks like to be a decent human being even in the Ottawa bubble. Marc Garneau was definitely one of the good ones and many in Ottawa could learn some life lessons from his example. Canadians would benefit. https://t.co/9mkuSPO8wx

[Robyn Urback @RobynUrback]

This whole interview (longer than the clip) is worth watching for the striking lack of humility. Yes, the Conservatives made gains, but ultimately, they blew it. Time to shelve the ego

This is shocking!
So much for even a hint of fiscal responsibility. Carney projects 130 BILLION in new spending.

[Alexander Quon @AlexanderQuon]

Chris Beaudry, the former Humboldt Broncos coach and MLA for Kelvington-Wadena, just delivered an emotional and beautiful statement in the Saskatchewan legislature.

Through tears, Beaudry spoke on Green Shirt Day and Logan Boulet. #HumboldtBroncos

@CTVNews
The population in Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River was reduced to 37,845 from 71,488 in the redistribution process.

Maybe on the third try you could get your facts straight. #FactsMatter

We are getting an election, let's not waste it.
Canadians need to remember which party has been in power for the last decade and why it's time for a change.
