What was Prime Minister Carney's official reason for calling the April election? In the declaration, it was mentioned that he'd shown cabinet a "report" explaining his decision. I was curious what the report said, so I filed a Freedom of Information thing, but its's all redacted.

I think my absolute favourite thing that happens in Canada is this:

When supply managed dairy or chicken farmers

hire temporary foreign workers because they need cheap labour to function IN A COMPLETELY CAPTIVE MARKET.

Literally, there is NO COMPETITION or imports allowed.

[Tablesalt 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Tablesalt13]

Why would an employer hire a Canadian student

when they can GET 20k for a LMIA letter AND get them to work for UNDER minimum wage

AND

get them to work 85 hours and pay them for 75? This is why the student unemployment rate is 20%

If Harper had asked the King of England to deliver parliament’s opening speech, the papers would be filled with editorials citing this as proof of his latent white supremacy and longing for a return of “old stock Canada.” But instead this will be spun as inspiring and uplifting.

Thank you @drashsachan for your support in Guelph! Together we’re going to reverse years of economic decline to build a better Canada.

The Liberals don’t deserve a 4th term. It’s time for a Conservative government to get our economy back on track.

Vote Conservative.

@drashsachan Standing with you, Ashish. You’re absolutely right to call this out—grassroots democracy, transparency, and fairness aren’t optional, they’re essential. When nomination processes are undermined, it damages trust and pushes good people away from politics. This has to change.

[Ashish Sachan, PhD @drashsachan]

Ongoing media coverage and public discussion about the candidate selection process in the Conservative Party of Canada are deeply concerning. While each case may be unique, a troubling pattern seems to have emerged-one where democratic norms are sidestepped in favor of backroom strategies that serve narrow interests over broader public trust. At its core, this signals a deeper issue: that the principles of grassroots democratic participation seem to have been compromised.

If the Conservative Party of Canada wishes to be seen as a beacon of democratic values and maintain the moral high ground, our politics must be held to the highest standards of transparency, fairness, and accountability. Irrespective, any political party or its operatives should strive to improve the democratic process-not manipulate or diminish it for short-term gains, or treat it as a springboard for anyone’s personal ambition-for we, as Canadians, carry the responsibility not just of winning elections, but of safeguarding a democratic legacy for future generations.

Regardless of political affiliation, we should all be committed to preserving democratic integrity. The strength of our democracy lies not only in who is elected, but how they are elected. When nomination processes are open, competitive, and genuinely reflective of the people's will, we strengthen public trust in our institutions.

Perceptions of predetermined outcomes, procedural irregularities, or unwarranted influence-particularly when candidates are parachuted into ridings without substantial political background or community ties-undermine that trust. When such candidates suddenly claim to embody the concerns and values of a community they have ever barely engaged with, it comes across as insincere, disingenuous, and opportunistic. Such candidates not only disrupt the years of political momentum built in the riding, but also discourage long-standing volunteers, dishearten party loyalists, alienate voters who value personal connection with their candidates, and offend party members who deserve to feel represented by someone worthy of their support.

When all is said and done, we will have to reflect on the forces operating behind the scenes-those who have shaped political outcomes without meaningful public involvement. Ignoring this dynamic puts the integrity of our democratic institutions at risk and distances us from the kind of vibrant, accountable democracy we aspire to uphold in Canada. #cdnpoli #canada

@RRohampton No, the train exploded because it was carrying hydrocarbons that should have been in a pipeline. Voting Liberal = voting for exploding trains

Sean is obviously in the right about this.

Something a lot of Canadian pundits, and especially American pundits, fail to incorporate into their analysis is the degree smug, vindictive anti-Americanism has been a defining part of Canadian boomer culture long before Trump. The Liberals are purposefully running a campaign to energize these types as much as possible, presenting themselves as the only government able to stave off American annexation, divorce Canada from all US influences, and humiliate and shame a Republican president.

It’s very obvious the boomers’ desire for those things aren’t wholly animated by a simple reaction to Trump’s economic policies, given they’re things the boomers have always wanted in some form, and have accordingly always played a prominent role in how Liberals campaign. Giving the boomers the biggest possible anti-American dopamine squirt is absolutely a luxury belief if it’s coming at the expense of all sorts of rational domestic policy reforms this country desperately needs.

Its unbelievable to me that the Liberal Party of Canada sacrificed an entire generation of young Canadians

by sending housing prices to 10x income using large deficits and record-setting immigration

and people are like: "yeah but Pierre has slogans"

[J.J. McCullough @JJ_McCullough]

The Liberal Party is making great strides solving problems created by the Liberal Party!

[Guelph Campus Conservatives @guelphcons]

@wrightwingman @Tasthar1 @marcorubio The entire former Soviet Bloc up to and including East Germany is also regarded as constitutionally legal Russian territory. Legally, nothing stops Russia from amending their constitution on a whim and adding Alaska to that list. What point are you trying to make?

[J.J. McCullough @JJ_McCullough]

0.3% of Canada's population have selected our next prime minister, one of the most powerful executive offices in the western world.

[Tracey Wilson @TWilsonOttawa]

Look at these cowards. On the last business day of this government, before leadership, in the 11th hour, with geopolitical crises and tariff wars, economic uncertainty, violent crime wave, border and national security issues, prorogation … what do they plan?

Another attack on hunters and licensed sport shooters.

They’ll go down as the most undemocratic, corrupt, incompetent, malevolent government in the history of this country 🇨🇦

Canada was having a leadership crisis under Trudeau, which then spiraled into a democratic/succession crisis when he resigned and suspended parliament, and now we have a diplomatic/economic crisis added on top because of Trump. I am increasingly unsure where this is all leading.

[Shaun Newman Podcast @SNewmanPodcast]

The Liberal establishment just pulled off the greatest hijack in history:

ONE man will appoint 100 out of 105 senators.

NONE of them elected by the people.

Here's what Trudeau is hoping you don't notice:

[Dan Robertson @pdrobertson]

One silver lining is that suddenly we’re not a post-national, genocidal, settler state.
