Today, our government introduced new legislation to protect our kids online. Canada's Safe Social Media Act will hold social media and AI platforms accountable, make them safer, and restrict access to social media for children under 16.
More and more kids are suffering from anxiety, depression, self-harm, and exploitation. To keep our kids safe, we have to ensure that our laws keep up with technology.
Today, 18 million Canadians received a GST grocery rebate.
My family pays more GST than the average Canadian, yet we don’t get a dime back.
We’re apparently too “well off” to qualify, but not too well off to keep footing the bill while politicians spend taxpayer money like it’s monopoly money.
Make it make sense.
Sid not having the C for a Canadian team he’s playing on is insane. Greats always talk about learning from the greats before them. If he’s there, he’s obviously the captain, just give him the letter. Doesn’t matter but sometimes we twist ourselves in knots overthinking stuff.
REPORTER: "Today, China and the U.S. are almost friends. How do you explain the change of tone between the two countries?"
PM CARNEY: "I would hope there'd be beneficial agreements for... the world... These are the two world hegemons, the two major world powers."
Mark Carney held a press conference today to re-announce the Liberal policies that already raised your power bill by a third and gave Canada its first electricity shortfall ever.
He then said he’d consult about maybe doing something that could potentially double production and lower costs… by 2050.
LOL this isn’t a plan.
PM Mark Carney announces Canada's first national sovereign wealth fund, the Canada Strong Fund: "This will be a Government of Canada fund, but more importantly, this will be a people's fund. It will be your fund."
#BREAKING: Canada’s inflation rate rose to 2.4 per cent in March, up from 1.8 per cent in February, Statistics Canada said on Monday. https://t.co/neHMy6YRZf
All government hand outs that drive up debt, slow the economy, lead to money printing which leads to higher prices on all things. Tell us you don't understand how it works without saying it
Dental plan, disability benefit increase, $10 a day childcare, pharmacare, more tax benefits, more taxes back, easier and free tax filings, 10 cents less on gas today, no industrial carbon tax, national food program, food rebates, etc.
Those are just a few things Canadians got under a liberal government.
Mark Carney did not develop the concept of “Forward Guidance”
He is lying.
He used the practice as a tool during his tenure as a central banker. It didn’t go well.
A whole convoy of empty oil tankers on the way to the US to fill up.
It could have been Canada but we have land acknowledgments to do and carbon tax instead.
6 months ago, Team Elbow said they'd fight tooth and nail to protect Canadian sovereignty.
Now they suddenly want to be part of the EU. This country is fucking stupid.
I will just say this: this is extraordinary, and shows the strength of Carney as a PM and also likely reflects the gravity of the moment, and it also shows that Carney probably could have said no to Marilyn Gladu
PM Carney on the possibility of more floor crossers: "I'm often the last to know ... what has been the case is in in each of these circumstances is that the individuals have come to people they know well in the in the Liberal caucus and expressed an interest in joining."
121,027.
121,027 Canadians who did all a candidate could ask for - go out and vote on Election Day. In the 4 ridings in which Chris D'Entremont, Michael Ma, Matt Jeneroux, & Marilyn Gladu won their seats as candidates for the Conservative Party of Canada - 121,027 Canadians put an "X" beside their names in the hopes they'd keep their promise, go to Ottawa (either a return or for the first time), & do their very best as a MP for their community & for Canada, as a whole. 121,027 in those 4 ridings voted CPC, only 103,599 voted Liberal. The 103,599 have 4 MPs, & the 121,027 now have none.
I think they have a right to be angry. I think they have a right to feel betrayed. I think they have a right to demand answers. A year ago I was getting up at 730a (it DOES beat 345am) & getting back in the front door, usually by 930p. Banging on doors for 80-90% of that time - I'm still amazed, dazzled, exhausted, happy, sad, proud, devastated. But when you get there & you see volunteers, donors, people glad to chat with you for 2 minutes, or even 10 on their porch or in their yard & you realize they care about Canada just like you do....it's so awesome, & it's so inspiring - & I was even inspired by people who wished me well, but weren't sure I'd get their vote. They gave me time, they heard my message, & they'd consider it - it's all I can ask.
Almost 27,000 people voted for us in Ajax. Only 13,200 voted for the party 4 years earlier. I was one of the Top 10 vote percentage gains in a riding NOT to win his riding. We didn't win 199 ridings - & Ajax was Top 10 for gains. It still hurts - but there's pride & gratitude in that.
My point is - I couldn't possibly, & ESPECIALLY, a year or less after asking so much of myself, my team, & the voters - betray them, with really little explanation, little incentive. Things can go bad & things can change & I bet there's a reason why a floor-crossing can happen in very, very exceptional circumstances.
FIVE in the past 6 months? Come on. There's usually never a sad day to be a Canadian - this one feels like it.
