PM @MarkJCarney said today what needed to be said.

Danielle Smith’s referendum is distracting, damaging, deceitful and divisive.

It unsettles investor confidence.

And it is a potentially destabilizing move that cannot be undone.

We have seen what Brexit has done.

🇨🇦 forever

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

WOW!

Today Smith tried to perpetuate her spin on what duty to consult means and how it applies...

And Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew was having NONE of it!

@nvanrcmp As a cyclist noticing more and more brazen disregard for rules and safety (red lights are now just suggestions, right?), I'm glad to see this enforcement.

I’m sickened by the shooting at former President Trump. It cannot be overstated — political violence is never acceptable. My thoughts are with former President Trump, those at the event, and all Americans.

[Scott Reid @_scottreid]

This image will be inescapable from now until November 5th. The political implications will be HUGE. Trump's survival probably means Biden's end. Trump's numbers will bump up, Dems confidence will spike low, and the rush toward a new nominee will become irresistible

The first sanctioned supervised consumption site in North America is in Vancouver.

It’s called Insite and it opened in September 2003. Staff there have reversed about 12,000 overdoses, and referred people to treatment and health care services over 70,000 times, AT THIS ONE SITE ALONE.

My own life was saved there.

Over 20+ years, the evidence has piled up: supervised consumption services are one of the most effective tools we have to prevent harms, save lives, and guide people toward treatment.

With the facts clear and the evidence indisputable, these services have rolled out across the country, saving lives from coast to coast. Today, public officials and media from all over the world come to Vancouver to visit Insite, to learn about this incredible place that builds connections and saves lives, both literally and figuratively.

So it was shocking to hear @PierrePoilievre call them “drug dens” today. It was only weeks ago that he was promising to provide yoga at beautiful rehab centres to bring our loved ones home drug-free.

Today he dropped the act, ditched the compassionate language entirely, and showed he really doesn’t care about our loved ones at all, promising to defund, close or prevent these services from operating … one of the very few tools we have against the toxic drug supply.

GETTING RID OF SUPERVISED CONSUMPTION SITES WILL NOT MAGICALLY SOLVE THE DRUG CRISIS OR ELIMINATE DRUG USE FROM CANADIAN COMMUNITIES.

What kind of campaign promise is THIS?? What Pierre is suggesting is the same problematic path Alberta chose to follow, and we can all see what’s happening over there: unprecedented rates or injuries & deaths, and zero reduction in drug consumption or community chaos. People definitely won't recover if they are dead! #HarmReduction #supervisedconsumptionsites #toxicdrugcrisis

@canadaposthelps I'm not asking about the specifics of my mail forwarding request, I'm asking if the website is working. When I try to follow the "Buy Mail Forwarding" link all I get is a blank page (both on Firefox and Microsoft Edge). If you try to access the service, is it working for you?

[Duncan Frostick 🇺🇦 @duncfro]

@canadaposthelps Hi there, I'm trying to use the website to look at my dashboard and purchase mail forwarding but every link (e.g. https://t.co/mml68s0PZ3) I try just ends up with a blank page (on Microsoft Edge and Firefox). Is the system supposed to be working currently?

@maxfawcett @DieselYorkie1 Wasn't he a respectable pollster at some point? I don't comment much on twitter, but I'm sad to see the decline.

She's not wrong. This, disappointingly, is modern conservatism.

[Rachel Notley @RachelNotley]

“The Premier is setting up a totalitarian government for herself. Danielle Smith wants to control everything. Pensions, police, health care, schools, local councils. Any dollar spent anywhere in the province, and any decision made by anyone. Everything.”

Irfan Sabir, Alberta NDP Critic for Justice and Public Safety, issued this statement in response to the legal implications Danielle Smith’s Bill 20 pose for the province:

“Without running on it in the election, without any mandate from Albertans, and without public support, Bill 20 gives Smith sweeping powers to overrule local bylaws, dismiss any councillor or mayor at her whim, and give her Minister final say over recall petitions. Plus, this Bill will allow for local election donations to be gathered into campaign war chests outside of an election year and for party banners to be formed at the local municipal level in Edmonton and Calgary. 

“Smith is pushing her own ideology forward regardless of the opinion of Albertans and the local governments who represent them. She is dangerously throwing away our basic democratic principles, impeding on the rights of citizens to elect our local representatives, and interfering in the decisions everyday Albertans make in their lives.”

For those in the back: if your loyalty to this country depends on the capital gains inclusion rate — one that’s still lower than it was in the 1980s and 1990s — then you were never loyal to it in the first place.

[Jonathan Wilkinson 🇨🇦 @JonathanWNV]

First they muzzle scientists, and now they attack the credibility of hundreds of experts. We've seen this playbook before. Pierre's MAGA-Conservatives cannot be trusted to fight the climate crisis - they won't even try.

@tonyvalente_ca @northshorejoey @nvanrcmp Yes, we need to ticket those folks, and the ones who stop in the full lane of traffic outside Freshslice with their free-parking-four-way-flashers on.

Fires have been burning here for weeks with millions under air quality alerts, but wait, now it's millions of Americans! Live coverage go!

[Klitschko @Klitschko]

It feels great that the German Chancellor is finding these clear words and it also moves me personally how emotionally @Bundeskanzler is reacting to the Putin friends. Thank you, Olaf Scholz, for defending us so resolutely!
