@DriveBC I know what you mean, but that’s still a bit unclear given that Hwy 3 is still closed further west.

@ClimateRetorts @robb_barnes @ClimateRetorts It takes a special kind of idiocy to post a comment like that while folks in Manitoba are looking out the window and seeing this.

Oh, and it’s Inuit BTW.

@CBCNews My goodness the Russian bot farm propaganda is out in force.

[Matthew Carroll @MatthewFCarroll]

@NosyNurari @Markbull2 @ztisdale @brianlilley That’s not really the case any more. Look up New York Pistol & Rifle Association v. Bruen.

@Char_ElisabethK @CBCNews No it’s because Tesla tried to defraud the government by claiming one car was being sold every second for the last 3 days before the rebate deadline. They’re all sitting in parking lots. It was a vast scam. Makes you wonder how else Tesla has been ripping us off.

@MistaMarshall00 @LeadingReport And how exactly do you determine if they’re “illegal” without due process? 🤦‍♂️

[Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩 @acoyne]

Ah there you are. Good of you to show up. But as always you make it about you, and instead of offering sincere thoughts on a matter of the most vital importance and moral urgency, you use it as yet another opportunity to chant partisan slogans (“Canada’s common sense Conservatives”). In fairness, this was probably written by Jenni, but that hardly makes it less inappropriate or less flippant.

@KirkLubimov @Heloise41396 Poilievre is such a flaming hypocrite. https://t.co/wb6xr7EWHQ

[Matthew Carroll @MatthewFCarroll]

@WPMarine Stop stonewalling! What you are doing to our community is awful. There's a fair deal on the table. The Arrow Lakes ferry operator signed on already so zero excuse for you not to. Quit harming small communities for profit. Shameful behaviour by @WPMarine Vancouver-based owners.

@PierrePoilievre @PierrePoilievre’s security clearance remains mysterious, to the detriment of all Canadians. 👀

[Matthew Carroll @MatthewFCarroll]

@PierrePoilievre You’re such a hypocrite. You were Harper’s parliamentary secretary when he did the exact same thing in December 2008. I don’t agree with proroguing, but don’t throw stones when you live in a glass house. 🙄

[Matthew Carroll @MatthewFCarroll]

Don’t get me wrong. Harper proroguing parliament to subvert the will of a democratically elected majority of parliamentarians in Dec 2008 was wrong. Trudeau doing the same thing would also be wrong. But wait… who was Harper’s parliamentary secretary at the time? Hmm 🧐 #cdnpoli

[Matthew Carroll @MatthewFCarroll]

I don’t think he means what he’s saying, but it is right that permanent standard time is best. Year round DST means going to work and kids going to school while it’s still dark outside. Morning light exposure is absolutely essential for health and maintaining circadian rhythm.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation.

[Matthew Carroll @MatthewFCarroll]

@glennboe @realDonaldTrump Think it stinks when it’s dark early? Try getting up and going to work and having your kids go to school while it’s still pitch black outside. Because that’s what permanent DST means and it would be devastating for health. Morning light exposure is essential for circadian rhythm.

[Matthew Carroll @MatthewFCarroll]

@HorsesAndCoffee @Brick_Suit @realDonaldTrump Because it’s vastly more important to maintaining health and circadian rhythm to have exposure to natural light in the morning when you wake up. Going to work and kids going to school while it’s still dark outside is the worst possible option.

[Matthew Carroll @MatthewFCarroll]

@chriswill451 Actually the fact the error was discovered and disclosed shows that elections BC’s checks and balances worked and the system has integrity. It’s still a problem and clearly requires process improvements, but it’s hardly the conspiracist scandal you’re trying to make out to be.

[Matthew Carroll @MatthewFCarroll]

@DickDumfaq @KvncrwDoug @YakkStack They’ve been in use municipally for years. The paper ballots are retained. The machines are tested and the results validated and in the case of close races / recounts it’s all done by hand. 🤷‍♂️

[BC Teachers’ Federation @bctf]

The BC Conservative Party has released an education platform that shows a deep misunderstanding of public schools and what students in them need. #BCElection2024 #ITeachIVote #bcpoli #bced 1/9

[Matthew Carroll @MatthewFCarroll]

@jimmypimentel @brianlilley So just to check… you’d rather the government legislated to ensure the viability of certain businesses, rather than letting market forces decide? 🤔
