Im curious @elainaplott as to why the choice was made to leave out that between 2/3 and 3/4 of Canadians are supportive of this. I read the outrage of Americans on this, but we too are a democracy, and we decide our course, not you or your fellow citizens.

Canada gave its citizens the right to die. Ten years later, doctors are struggling to keep up with the demand. My story for the September issue of @TheAtlantic: https://t.co/UyizcvsILO

Do you spot the flaw in this headline? Hint. It should real “an Alberta pension plan will raise Atlantic Canadians’, & BC retirement incomes”

Opinion: An Alberta pension plan could raise Albertans’ retirement incomes https://t.co/ScPaDeWTl8 via @

The party sharks - have lawyers on speed dial. Each ballot is shown to each of them by elections officials and tallied. If the sharks object - it gets escalated and adjudicated.

There is no opportunity for your vote to be changed. If someone tried that party’s shark would bite.

I am enjoying what I will call pencil-gate. All of this discussion of @ElectionsCan_E and their famous pencils.

It’s funny because you can use a crayon if it suits you - so long as your intent is clear.

Also. When that box gets opened? There are 3/4 party sharks 1/2

@DeanTester @PierrePoilievre He did very well. Same message different delivery. As a new MP the angry 25 year old was passion, as leader it was a liability. But tonight the style fit the moment and showed growth. If CPC does not win, keep him, grow him, and next time it will land.

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

And they’re ready. They will likely win this round.

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

More market turmoil - an escalation with China. Considering that nobody can deliver the same message on tariffs from the US administration - it’s clear this is one fight they’re not ready for. Their grievances on unfair trade practices are real and a 20/30% with negotiation

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

That would have been the approach. Especially when you are, as the United States is, the less prepared party. China has legions of smart folks who have gamed this out over and over again - they know their response, their stimulus, their leverage (they can tank Us debt)

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

We the people - as in a fearless young lady from Centretown had to go to court and get an injunction to stop the honking. The organizers had no regard for us - they took our freedom and rights away for 3 weeks. They don’t believe in freedom they’re anarchists.

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

A lot of talk about the “Freedom Convoy” verdict. As a resident of central Ottawa - my home became unlivable for both the smell of diesel and honking 24/7. I couldn’t call people because all they would hear was honking. For 3 weeks. Neighbours were scared to walk to the store.

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

We got to experience convoy fireworks - literal fireworks in the core. When I cleaned my deck there was that much diesel gunk on everything - it was a mess. The city was a mess the 10s of thousands of people who call Centretown home - were not even a thought for the organizers.

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

You can’t make this up. Tariffs on Christmas Island, Svalbard, the Falklands, St Pierre & Miquelon and Heard and MacDonald Islands. That’s going to generate billions and billions - just kidding their combined population is possibly 15,000 in the later case - zero.

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

@JJ_McCullough The promise of Canada in its constitution is Peace, Order and Good Governance - nobody can call the rapid fire changes to US trade policy ordered or organized. Canada requires certainty - like Elphaba in Wicked we’ve just realized we can fly.

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

This is no solution. I’d suggest legalizing long term law abiding adults - vs compromising children’s education is the better solution. Surely that’s better than your teenager falling asleep in Math class because they worked a night shift. https://t.co/9GCiubKPJC

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

@Spothe I know something like this happens every 10/15 years - less frequently than the UK and Australia - Martin, Campbell, Turner, Trudeau Sr - all came to office this way then ran later. It just happened provincially in PEI, Happens in Alberta every 3 years these days.

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

@MichelleLA1981 @_RoyalWitCheese Brazil, China, and the EU are all larger producers of oranges than the US - I’d wager the oranges came from Europe - why? Because Canada and Europe have free trade. We won’t pay the “counter tariffs” because the US goods will be replaced. Likely permanently.

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

@MichelleLA1981 Spain lol - Florida isn’t the only place that grows oranges.

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

@tylerwatt Good job! The people are never wrong! Cherish this - as an MPP even on the opposition benches you can start conversations and put the right people in a room - to make a difference and have an impact.

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

@BethCharron1 @krassenstein Absolutely. But goods have substitutes. Tariff Florida oranges and loblaw will import Spanish ones instead. We as consumers can generally opt out of the tax. US consumers can’t generally because its oil, gas (piped into their house), fertilizer (you need the mines)

[Adam Dewar @dewaradam]

@bruce_mcgonigal The federal government in Canada needs to use its considerable power to immediately initiate east and west pipeline construction. That would cause Alberta to back pretty near any action required to fight this off. (And lift the tanker ban)
