🇨🇦Canadians:
Shame on those of you who continue to support the @liberal_party despite 10+ years of damage & decline under Trudeau & Carney.

I don't know how any of you can sleep at night knowing the vast majority of your children & grandchildren feel hopeless about their future!

"Canada’s story gets even more depressing when only young people under 25 are counted. The country then falls to 71st, another new low. Young people were once, on average, the happiest Canadian cohort; now they’re the most miserable.

And when compared to 136 countries, that 10-year drop in life satisfaction is one of the largest in the world, placing Canada just four slots from the bottom."

@BrianSuttererMD Just as Conor's knee could've unknowingly been compromised, so too could he simply have lost his balance a little in the prep area.
And based on footage during fight week, and of his pre-fight warm up, you can't fault Dana for believing Conor was healthy going into the fight.

[VVarrenO @VVarrenO]

@JayMMAYT @ChampRDS Agreed.
What happened is obvious, regardless of the exact injury.
In addition to hearing more from Conor, I'd be interested to hear from medical professionals about factors like his age, his increased weight and strength, and the treatments used to rehab his leg break.

I left Salsa on St. Clair moments before 2 people were murdered. Earlier, I woke up to a murder at Jane & Sheppard, on the border of my North York riding.

@TorontoPolice Officers are heroes. But I can't wait for the public to make a connection between the people we elect and all this gun violence.

Liberal crime laws gave rise to a revolving door in our Justice System. Violent repeat offenders, including those who offend with illegal firearms are routinely let back on the street.

The result is Gun and Gang warfare in Toronto, that claims innocent lives and terrorizes the public.

Modern Liberalism is a mental disorder. Next time, please vote accordingly to bring a much needed change to public safety.

God bless our great City of Toronto.

Btw, any future baddest man on the planet doesn't start his career by letting every Tom, Dick & Harry mispronounce his name - three times in this interview alone!

@SPVM My sincere condolences & prayers as well to the innocent civilian's family, loved ones & friends, as well as those of the perpetrator, as I understand those two people have now passed.🙏🏼💐💔

May comfort be found for all those affected by this terrible tragedy!

[VVarrenO @VVarrenO]

@SPVM My sincere condolences and prayers to the officer's family, colleagues, friends and the people of Montreal.🙏🏼💐💔

Thank you to the brave men & women who serve to protect vulnerable citizens. You've dealt with so much leading up to this tragic day & the loss of one of your own.

Canadians🇨🇦 are being replaced & our culture is being destroyed by a lack of collective self-preservation.
This is fact, not bigotry or racism! #cdnpoli

"The new law will give Prime Minister Mark Carney's cabinet authority to greenlight any pesticide that ministers feel is in the interest of economic or national food security." https://t.co/6hb2xa2E8S

Granular knowledge of how the Vancouver Condo Kings are the major supporters of people like Gregor Robertson, Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney was my past reporting beat. I’m not going back to it, other reporters need to pick that up. Read JWR’s chapter about meeting Trudeau in his friend’s pent house to understand who Carney is bailing out. I can say the Chinese money behind all these Liberals makes the story so much worse than a Liberal bail out of slick developers. This is scandalous and nationally ruinous.

🚨🇨🇦 Canada is spending $1.1 billion to host 13 World Cup matches.

⚽️ FIFA gets the ticket revenue.
⚽️ FIFA gets the broadcast rights.
⚽️ FIFA gets the sponsorship money.
⚽️ FIFA gets the concession cuts.
⚽️ FIFA pays zero Canadian tax.

You get the bill.💵
You get the traffic.🚕🚖🚕
You get the security costs.💵

12 of the last 14 World Cup hosts lost money.

Carney called it an economic opportunity.

FIFA calls it a business model.

There’s a reason only one of them is right.

This photo was just taken in downtown Vancouver on Davie Street. The BC NDP government and the Addiction Industry refer to this as “upholding personal dignity,” “harm reduction,” and “compassionate non-stigmatizing” - what absolute rubbish!

This has to stop! 🛑

This is someone’s dad, brother, or son. A OneBC government will get every single one of these people off the street and provide them with the help they need.

@SenateCA:

[Aaron Pete @Aaronpete_]

I'm prepared to go to jail over this.

My grandmother Rita Pete went to St. Mary's Indian Residential School. She experienced terrible abuse. As a consequence, she struggled with alcohol use most of her life.

My mother was born with FASD as a consequence of her using alcohol to cope with her trauma.

I am Chief of my community Chawathil First Nation. I am working to address the longstanding impacts of these past policies through renovating homes, building new homes, creating childcare, and growing businesses through economic development.

I have interviewed people who went to Indian Residential Schools. I have interviewed people who believe Indian Residential Schools were awful, horrible schools, meant to remove the Indian from the child.

I've also interviewed people who believe they were well intended, generous investments by Canadian taxpayers meant to assimilate a society and had shortcomings.

Like with many things, the history is dark, complicated, and with any policy that existed for a long time, across a whole country - there were different experiences.

No one story tells us everything. No report shares the full experience of the individuals who went. No commentator today can disprove someone's lived experience with statistics.

The path forward is not to criminalize speech, questions, or debate.

The path forward is empathy for past attendees.
The path forward is truth based on facts.
The path forward is real conversations.
The path forward is to lean into complexity.

If the government criminalizes this, then I will be a criminal for having these conversations.

If I am a criminal by the laws definition, then I am committed to going to jail over this.

[VVarrenO @VVarrenO]

@Aaronpete_ @scoopercooper Thank you for sharing your family's experiences and for using your voice to call out this wholly unjust attempt by @SenateCA to criminalize debate and discussion of this important chapter in Canadian history.

@Emily_Lowan @BCGreens,
I appreciate Ms. Lowan thanking @TrevHal & congratulating @KerryLynneFindl.

With their incessant ad hominem attacks & "MapleMAGA" slur, @Dave_Eby, @KahlonRav & the rest of the @bcndp could learn from her professionalism, leadership & grace!
