I would vote for @erinotoole 100 times over before your guy.
Canada needs serious people, not someone who doesn't even have the words to defend this country and who thinks pronouns are our biggest threat.

I want to send my condolences to John Horgan’s family, friends, former colleagues and everyone whose lives were made better for his years of service, as a public servant, as an ambassador and as a Premier of British Columbia.

He will be remembered, not just for these titles, but as someone who forged ahead with a vision of good public healthcare, a more affordable quality of life and a steady hand, even through the worst of a global pandemic.

To his wife, Ellie and their children, I send you my deepest condolences. I know, the battle against cancer is a terrible, tiring one, but John responded with the same courage he showed countless times as a leader for his province.

Nov 9 An Israeli airstrike targeted an area housing displaced people inside the Al Aqsahospital compound in Deir Al Balah, #Gaza. MSF teams assisted in treating 8 wounded in the emergency room. It is the 8th attack on the hospital compound since March 2024.

It is unacceptable.

Oh, we're in for 4 yrs of "babe" and babytalk.

The Thompsons, the Westons, the Irvings, the McCains, the Rogers. Jimmy Pattison. Chip Wilson.

These oligarchs are laughing at us.

Food bank use explodes as their riches piles higher.

Tax this obscene wealth and rebuild our broken public sphere!

Or rage will win here too.

A moment in the Winnipeg art museum to CLEANSE your mind and move on making sure our country remains great !

It’s almost as though booming stock markets and growing GDP don’t inevitably lead to rising living standards 🤔

Are you a Manitoban living or snowbirding in the United States? The Free Press would like to talk to you about Trump's election win.

"The Trump campaign’s research found that up-for-grabs voters were about six times as likely as other battleground-state voters to be motivated by their views of Israel’s war in Gaza." This is why Trump/Vance ramped up anti-war rhetoric in last few weeks of campaign https://t.co/doI1FOZVkW

As an emotional support Canadian to America I officially withdrawal from that role and suggest America needs psychiatric care.
You just gave a 75 yr old man full of hate & rage with dementia the nuclear codes.
I have never been more disappointed and scared in my life !

I guess it’s worth pointing out that Peru had an electoral college system until 1896 and it replaced it because, by 19th century standards, people considered it betrayed popular will. Just pointing this out for no reason…

Congratulations to University of Manitoba kicker Maya Turner, the first woman to be named a Canada West football All-Star!

🚨NEW: Far-right influencer Lauren Chen was just hauled before a parliamentary committee to testify about her alleged role in a Russian propaganda operation.

She founded TENET media, which allegedly hired right-wing influencers to spread Russian messaging.

Things went…badly:
