Dear Mr. @elonmusk, why do you never call for Putin to go? He's ruled Russia as a dictator for 26 years. Isn't that enough?

You know, Putin thinks you are a fool. He thinks he has your number. Behind closed doors, they tell jokes about you. You do his bidding here -- calling for Zelenskyy to go -- and he doesn't even have to bribe you, like Schroeder or others.

I am a huge admirer of your work when it comes to making things that improve our world. Huge!

I find your judgments of Putin naive.

But I know I might be "biased." He has killed some of my friends & colleagues. My guess is he hasn't killed any of your friends.

Please spend some time in Kyiv. Meet some mothers whose kids were deliberately killed by Putin's drones. And then go to Moscow and try to meet some mothers whose kids were deliberately targeted by Ukrainian rockets and drones. You won't find any.

Putin is slaughtering innocent civilians in Ukraine on purpose.

Zelenskyy is not.

Hey Vancouver and Victoria. Authenticity matters, if this doesn’t show you who Eby is, then nothing will.

[Jon Fraser @JonFraserTF]

Interesting. Do you know who has no interest in "freeing" Palestine? Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. They oppress the citizens of Gaza and refuse to hold democratic elections.

President Mahmoud Abbas is now almost 22 years into his 4 year term and has refused to hold the elections he committed to - again.

1. In Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is a designated terror entity that murders women, dissidents and LGBTQ people.
2. In Canada, the Iranian Canadian Congress (ICC) openly lobbies for the IRGC.
3. In Toronto, Progress Toronto is led by the founders of the ICC.
4. In 2026, Progress Toronto are running Olivia Chow's campaign.

Call me crazy, but I think this is kind of newsworthy.

[Brian Lilley @brianlilley]

This moron is trying to connect Ford, who endorsed Chow, to Bradford because they were both at the Daily Bread Food Bank and both wore yellow suspenders.
Hmmmm...
All volunteers there have to wear them. Look who else did and was also on stage with Ford and Bradford.
Chow.

Just now, David Eby confirms that he has his kids in $10/day taxpayer-subsidized daycare.

Approx. only 10% of BC daycare spots offer $10/day daycare. Most families who want in can't get a spot.

As Premier, Eby earns $227k/year. Eby's wife is a doctor. Their household income is likely well over half a million dollars per year.

We don't resent British Columbians who are successful (we want more people to succeed).

But where there are wait lists, surely a wealthy family like Eby's shouldn't be taking advantage of $10/day daycare. Think about a working single mother? David Eby deserves the spot more than her?

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

It is sickening that the USA is now lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, and transparently ridiculous to blame Ukraine for the spike in prices that obviously began with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Putin is murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians every day. The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. And yet the White House is apparently determined to force American drivers to bankroll Putin’s slaughter. It won’t work and I doubt it will make much difference to the price of fuel.

If we want Russian oil and gas back on the world market then let’s end this war - with a free, sovereign and independent Ukraine.

[Brian Eastwood @BrianEastwoodx]

If you pay attention enough, you’ll see patterns. Diesel is a liquid. So why would the President announce a Russian diesel fuel release in tons?

Because he knows you’re stupid and won’t do math. 300,000 tons is 82,000,000 gallons of diesel fuel.

“Teacher, how many gallons of diesel does the United States use per day?” “123,000,000 gallons of diesel on average per day, magatard.”

If you add up all of these numbers, it equals 1,312,000,000 gallons of diesel Russia will release over the coming months. That’s 10 days of diesel for just the United States.

Con Inc keeps saying we are energy independent. Oh look another thing that goes to the panicans.

[Warren Kinsella @kinsellawarren]

From a Toronto voter:

"I can't believe this is happening. At 8:15 am Saturday October 10, I witnessed this person taking down Bradford signs at the corner of Bathurst and Briarhill. I spoke to them and demanded they stop. They continued. I called the police, but it is low priority to them. The person hid in a park, changed their shirt and went back to an apartment building on the NW corner of Briar Hill and Bathurst. I cannot believe that this is going on. Photos attached." #topoli

A Statement of Conscience on October 7

I will not start by saying ‘as a Muslim’ or ‘as an imam’, but as a human being.

On October 7, over 1,200 innocent people were killed in a single day. Families were shot in their homes. Young people out dancing were hunted across open fields. Over 250 people, including children and the elderly, were dragged into Gaza as hostages. I think of a mother hiding in a safe room with her baby’s mouth covered. I think of a father listening as the line went quiet. I think of families who waited month after month for someone to come home, only to receive a coffin. I didn’t need my faith to recognize the evil of what happened. My heart told me first.

But I’m a Muslim and an imam, and I owe the world one honest sentence: what was done that day was a crime against God. God teaches that whoever kills one innocent soul, it is as if he had killed all humanity.

This day has an author: Yahya Sinwar. He planned it, ordered it, and knew what would follow. Every death of that day and war he started rests on him and Hamas leaders who sat in tunnels and foreign hotels and called slaughter a victory. It rests on every Palestinian leader who cheered, excused, handed out sweets, or said nothing. They chose this. They own it.

But Sinwar did not invent himself. He was the fruit of a tree planted almost a century ago by the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas named itself in its founding charter as the Brotherhood’s branch in Palestine. The Brotherhood’s poison is slow. It arrives through study circles, youth camps, charity boxes, and kind words to lonely young men. Drop by drop, it teaches him that his religion is a political party, his neighbour is his enemy, the Jew is the cause of his sorrow, and God is pleased by rage. By the time the gun arrives, the soul is already taken.

I have seen this poison in mosques where sermons became rallies and young men could recite slogans but not sit still for a verse on mercy. Every people that let the Brotherhood in has paid in blood and ruined generations. It has never built anything it did not first set on fire.

Behind Hamas stands another hand: the IRGC. It was the IRGC’s money, weapons, and training that turned a hateful idea into an army. One calls itself Sunni and the other Shia, and they may curse each other’s creeds, but they are united in what they worship. It is not God. It is power. The same IRGC that armed the killers of October 7 shoots Iranian girls for showing their hair, hangs young men for asking to be free, and has left graves from Tehran to Damascus to Beirut. They speak in God’s name. So did Pharaoh speak in the name of heaven.

So let me say this clearly. Hamas and the IRGC are not merely enemies of Islam. That would be too small a charge, as if their crime were only against us. They are enemies of God. God is the Giver of life, yet they deal in death. God calls Himself the Most Merciful, yet they have made cruelty a sacrament. God honoured the children of Adam, yet they look at a child and see a target or a shield. To murder what God created and sign His name to it is the oldest blasphemy.

And we Muslims have been too quiet. Some of us were afraid. Some told ourselves it was not our business. Some, God forgive them, felt something other than horror that morning and never confessed it. Silence was the soil this poison grew in. I will not add to it.

So on this anniversary, let us say plainly what our scripture already says. The Jews are not our enemies. They are our cousins in Abraham, and their dead were created by the same God who created us. Today belongs to them: the murdered, the hostages, and families who still set a place at the table. To them I say: I am sorry for what was done to you by men who used the words of my prayers. You’re not alone in your grief or remembrance.

The enemies of God are those who murder in His name. We know their names. It is time we said them from our own pulpits, in our own voices, before they speak for us again.

October 7 should be sacred.

It is a day to remember the innocent lives taken by Hamas butchers, the hostages ripped from their families and held captive for months on end, and the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

Yet even today, @NYCMayor cannot put aside his ideological obsession with Israel long enough to simply let Jews mourn.

At a time of rising antisemitism, words matter, and rhetoric has real-world consequences.

There are 364 other days for politics. Today, remember the victims. Condemn Hamas. Stand with the Jewish community.

It should not be difficult.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Three years ago, the terrorist organisation Hamas perpetrated the worst attack against Jewish people since the Holocaust.

Why do we keep going after our doctors in this country? Trudeau called them tax cheats and went after their corps., and now Eby is saying they need to pay the second highest taxes in the world?

I had dinner with a pediatric neurologist the other night. works 65 hours a week and in his early 60s. The overtime time pay boost is an additional $13/hour. But they do it because there is a dire need for their services.

Our doctors are a core part of our health care system that is breaking under the stress, and we need to support them instead of attacking them. Full stop.

[Melissa Mbarki @MelissaMbarki]

Does anyone see a First Nations person on this panel? Great, now stop speaking on our behalf. Thanks

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Eby is such a jerk.

Jimmy Pattison is one of the greatest British Columbians ever. He has likely created more jobs than anyone in BC history, and has been BC’s greatest philanthropist and booster.

Eby’s attack on a 98 year old model citizen is a gross appeal to class warfare and the politics of resentment. The NDP at its very worst.

AI will never, ever have a moral standard because it doesn't have a soul. That is what makes it so dangerous. And for that reason the Pope is taking the proper approach in my opinion. But what do I know?

[Martin Pelletier @MPelletierCIO]

Insane. Tax hikes for condo developers, tax hikes for out of province owners of real estate, going after oil companies and grocers. He has gone full on Mandami. BC is finished economically if they re-elect this guy.

[Martin Pelletier @MPelletierCIO]

Fire him British Columbians, please.

Donald Trump was the best thing that happened to Canada. Getting national and provincial buy-in to diversify our export market for our resources. And its just getting started...
