Election day in a country that has had a fair and free vote for generations. Where all the opposition parties are free to take power. Where virtually everyone will accept the election result. After my last year, itβs a history and a privilege Iβm more grateful for than ever. Letβs get at it.
April 28th is the day we remember workers injured and killed on the job. They don't teach us the monumental stories of resistance and organizing to make workplaces safer. This is my reflection on the origins of April 28th and the miners of the north who made history. substack.com/home/post/p-...
The two NGO employees without security clearances who inexplicably have access to classified nuclear weapons data are Luke Farritor, a 23-year-old former SpaceX intern, and Adam Ramada, a venture capitalist whose firm took a large stake in a SpaceX supplier last year. Sure itβs just a coincidence.
I love John Oliver, and I loved Sunday's episode, but one nitpick: It grated on me badly when Oliver referred to David Geier as a "vaccine skeptic." Geier is not a skeptic. He is a longtime antivax activist and producer of bad science and pseudoscience regarding vaccines and autism.
Poilievre doesnβt even know his own constituencyβs boundaries. This is the second time of this campaign heβs holding a rally not in the constituency he thought he was in. Dumbest politician ever elected in Canada. Thankfully, Bruce Fanjoy π¨π¦ will bring real change to Carleton. #cdnpoli
Election Day 2025: leave it to Doug Ford Doug Ford to blow one final hole in Pierre Poilievre's sinking boat of slogans. No PP it's not about "change" or "woke" or "carbon tax Carney" - it's about standing up to Trump. And you ain't the guy. I love when Conservatives scrap in public.
My own Election Day reminders: 1) We don't elect the prime minister so there is no such thing as "PM-elect". If you must, say "PM-designate" or "presumptive PM" OR, if it's Mark Carney, just say "Prime Minister", because he's literally still PM even after the results tonight. 1/n
Here we go. A major conference on antimicrobial resistance (GAMRIC) scheduled for later this year has been moved from Washington DC to London. Email from the organizers: "In order to maximise global participation..." (NB that they say nothing about moving *from* DC. But it WAS in DC.) π§ͺ
Small election day scoop: Donors to Pierre Poilievre's Conservative leadership campaign picked up a $16,000 tab for a home reno contractor Poilievre claimed $85,000 in personal and living expenses that appear to relate to his private residence, located in a βresort lifestyleβ community in Greely
Makary & co. are trying to make people distrust the vaccines to justify the fact that they are blocking access to them. Donβt fall for it. This vaccine has already been rigorously studied, and the new βstudyβ he is proposing is both unscientific and unethical. You should distrust these lying frauds.
Itβs our election day. Itβs our day to show the world Canadaβs decency, compassion and strength. Itβs our day to show our children that Canada is owned only by them. Thatβs the Canada our parents gave us. Today is our day to pay it forward. #Vote #ViveLeCanada #LongLiveCanada
Iβm in a pediatric hematology oncology physician group on another site & the fact that kids with cancer & US citizenship are being deported was brought up & the comments section was full of similar stories of kids completely lost to followup the last few months bc of this hellhole we all live in now
If CBC projection holds, then I have two takeaways: 1) Lib + NDP seats = a majority 2) Many CON victories were pluralities, not majorities, meaning that those seats were won only because the "Left" split its votes Conclusion: the consistent majority of the Canadian body politic leans left.
An example of why American news doesnβt get Canada. @nytimes.com π article states PM Carney has won a full term. He has not. If itβs a minority Liberal government, it could fall at any time. Americans: get Canadian news about Canada - itβs accurate. #Canada www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...
T'was the night of the election, and Carney had won, Pierre was angry crying; the damage was done I was nestled all snug in my bed, While visions of Poilievre losing his riding danced in my head And I heard PP exclaim, ere he conceded that night, "I need Canadian lumber, to make this alright."
"Mr. Poilievre, can you please explain exactly what you mean when you say the word 'woke'?" "Absolutely. So the lost liberal decade has caused everyone to be crimed when they step outside their door, which is why I have to axe the tax and arrest homeless people, because we have to bring it home."
Soβ¦ I did a thing I'm proud of. Grateful to @thewhn.bsky.social for publishing my piece on masking at work, long-term health, and staying grounded in a chaotic world. If youβve ever felt stuck between clowns and jokersβ¦ youβll get it. whn.global/stuck-in-the...
#ElectionsCanada - Federal Election - April 28, 2025 #Canada π REMINDER By law, everyone who is eligible to vote must have 3 consecutive hours to cast their vote on election day. If your hours of work do not allow for 3 consecutive hours to vote, your employer must give you time off. /1 thread π§΅
TODAY! Vote like your life depends on it β because it does π¨π¦ βThe person who becomes prime minister will have to deal with one of the very worst people on Earth right now, as he attempts to destroy the global economy and annex Canada. We need a very strong leader for the next 4 years.β
While I so appreciate Americans taking an interest in Canadian politics- may I suggest amplifying Canadian news on this - like our national broadcaster CBC or other Canadian news outlets? The New York Times etc donβt have insight into Canada and it seems Americans could use a little insight.
PM Mark Carney π¨π¦ - The attack at the Lapu Lapu festival has left our country shocked, devastated, and heartbroken. To those grieving, to those who were injured, to the Filipino Canadian community, and to everyone in Vancouver: Canada is mourning with you, and we are united behind you. #cdnpoli
