The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept cheering and voting for the axe. Because its handle was made of wood, and they thought it was one of them.

In 1988, the federal government banned metal-tipped lawn darts because a single child died from one.

Manitoba’s Premier was asked about the tragic death of a young indigenous woman. Instead of answering the question she used up the allotted time by congratulating her son’s private school hockey team. This is cruel and unforgivable. https://t.co/6AtHjuDQXa

Hey @PierrePoilievre @CPC_HQ "Liberal" inflation? Oh c'mon. Stop it, you're embarrassing yourself.
Canada 5.1%
UK 5.5%
US 7.5%
Germany 4.9%
Italy 4.8%
Spain 6.1%
Netherlands 6.4%
Mexico 7.1%
Hardly a "Liberal" issue is it? Be better.

Canada PM Trudeau: "You can disagree with elected officials. You can certainly disagree with me. But you can't harass your fellow citizens who disagree with you. You can't hold a city hostage. And you can't block a critical trade corridor and deprive people of their jobs."

Effective immediately, CBC’s #COVID19 coverage will focus first on hospitalizations and secondly in case counts.

Case counts are no longer accurate and are also not the most important measure of the pandemic’s impact.

[Winnipeg Jets @NHLJets]

Eight seasons. Five playoff appearances. Countless memories.

Thank you Paul, for everything you have done for the team, the city, the province, and the sport. The positive impact you have left on our community and our organization will never be forgotten 💙

We've developed a political culture - constantly told

"Things WORSE they've ever been"

"No one has suffered like you"

All NONSENSE

We've created a culture where

You're the victim & world has screwed you over

.@jkenney and his UCP Cabinet waited till today, 1 day after the election, to ask for life saving help from the federal government. Suddenly, they demand emergency meetings to deal with our #COVID19 crisis. This is what politics over lives looks like.

Last thought before I call it a night.

Tonight’s result likely means the holdout provinces will come on board with the @liberal_party plan for $10 a day childcare.

When that happens, thousands of families across Canada won’t be asking about the point of this election. #Elxn44

[Andrew Tumilty @AndrewTumilty]

To the “what was the point” crowd,

The government had to make extraordinary choices in the last 18 months which they didn’t run on in 2019.

The public was due the opportunity to weigh in on those choices and what comes next.

Democracy is a verb, it’s never pointless. #Elxn44

Wishing my friend @JustinTrudeau the best in Canada’s upcoming election. Justin has been an effective leader and strong voice for democratic values, and I’m proud of the work we did together.

Stupidity, ignorance, callousness, arrogance, and a political movement that is rotting in Canada in every way that matters. If Alberta is a preview of a nationwide conservative movement, this country is in such deep trouble.
