"My plan will cut funding to the implosion of “woke” ideology in federal public service & the allocation of federal funds for university research"

👉 Reminder: Mr Poilievre has voted against the environment over 400 times in the last 20 yrs.

Is someting happening in Quebec?!

The Bloc have broken below the 5% (national poll) barrier twice in the latest two days of polling, which is for April 4th and 5th.

Mainstreet polls, 4% on the 4th, then 3% on the 5th.
There are also Liaison “B" grade (not included on graph) polling that pegged them at 4% in their four most recent pollings since April 2nd.

LPC/CPC still within usual bounds. NDP steady.

Remember everyone, it's all happening like it's supposed to. Project 2025 was there for everyone to see. All they needed was a bunch of ignorant selfish people to vote, and there was plenty of them available. 1.5m more than so-called "woke" people.

They know what they're doing. We don't. They have money and power, we don't. They have the police, we definitely don't.

All we have is numbers

More than 50 [update: 78] candidates are on the federal ballot in Conservative leader Pierre #Poilievre's #Ottawa riding of Carleton - all the independent candidates have the same registered agent – Tomas Szuchewycz.
Carleton riding has also seen a rash of damaged and defaced campaign signs for the Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy.
The Conservative signs are largely untouched.

Fifty-five of the candidates have the same registered agent – Tomas Szuchewycz – and link to the Bluesky account “Longest Ballot Committee.”

Well, Mastodon, now that I'm working for Elections Canada, all my partisan political activity for this election must stop.

Y'all don't know my name or, likely, my riding, but I'm going to take this directive seriously and stop posting about party politics from now until 29 April.

😭

Enjoy the contest!

@driusan "In international economics, Carney has the most experience and the finest education of* any *of our previous prime ministers. While all were seasoned politicians, none had PM Carney's singular mix of academic and professional achievement." --TVO

And yet, Pierre attacked the PM again today saying Carney's economic resume was "fake". 🤦

Mr & Mrs PP must believe Canadians are turnips.

Getting tax scam warning emails reminds me that the US filing deadline is a full 2 weeks behind Canada... All that tax season stuff is behind us.

And I love that we have the best online tax software home-grown here in Edmonton. It's made tax season a joy for the past decade.

From Press Progress

Conservative Candidate Used a Secret Signal Group Chat With Freedom Convoy Leaders, Right-Wing Media and Far-Right Influencers

Andrew Lawton was a member of the “clandestine” group chat used to coordinate convoy messaging on social media

The group chat on Signal, an encrypted messaging app, is called “Canada Freedom Rights Movement” and includes over 50 names associated with the Freedom Convoy and the Canadian far-right.

If you have young people in your lives, it is imperative that you tell them about how everything Pierre promises now is the exact opposite of what he did when he was in government.

This is really a moment to judge our politicians on what they have ACTUALLY done, not what they say they are going to do.

Canada's reputation took a dive under the last conservative government just like the Trump admin has done the US.

I keep hearing them talk about Pierre like they think he is genuine.

@fsinn I think this policy would help most ridings. I have never seen more NDP supporters ready to vote Liberal, simply to affirm Canadian nationhood vs PP & maple maga. The best domestic policies don't mean a thing next to the threat of invasion. #cdnpoli #leadership
