Westcoastmaven 🇨🇦Way to go Canada! Elections Canada reports 2 MILLION of us voted on the first day of Advance Polls. Woohoo! Sovereignty seems to be very important to us.

MarkG"The Star reported Saturday morning that the NDP would make their support of a minority government conditional on national rent control measures, and Singh added in his speech that he would also use any influence to try and prevent the next government from cutting health care services." Good stuff. A lot of large corporate landlords are just price gouging, making housing unaffordable.<a href="https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/jagmeet-singh-sets-sights-on-super-rich-tax-in-ndp-platform-to-help-offset-227/article_3963f03b-1b09-43f4-8805-2206f6f78829.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/jagmeet-singh-sets-sights-on-super-rich-tax-in-ndp-platform-to-help-offset-227/article_3963f03b-1b09-43f4-8805-2206f6f78829.html</a><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/canpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canpoli</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Elxn45" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Elxn45</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ndp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ndp</a>

Gordon J HoltslanderWhile Poilievre portrays himself as defending Canada against Trump’s economic aggression, his cultural rhetoric tells a different story. He’s not resisting Trump’s tactics. He’s importing them.When Poilievre declared in Parliament that woke has “one purpose . . . control,” he deliberately and dishonestly twisted a term rooted in principles of social justice into something sinister. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> <a href="https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/april-2025/poilievre-woke/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/april-2025/poilievre-woke/</a>

LesterWent to an advance poll today and voted early. For me at least, in my riding, the choice is clear. It was dead though, only 3 other people voting at all in the whole place.I was in and out in under a minute.

Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦“Canada’s R&D spending consistently falls below the G7 average. Funding for scientific research from the main governmental bodies that provide support to my laboratory, for instance – the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) – is inadequate. “Until funding changes in Canada, recruitment of Scientists from the USA is largely a dream. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Research</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cdnpoli</a>

Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦Recruiting U.S. scientists is a fine idea – except we’re barely supporting Canadian scientists as it is “One thought is to capitalize on this scientific excellence, and the uncertainties south of the border, to recruit top American talent to our country and bring back Canadians working in American labs. In principle, this sounds like an excellent idea, except for one detail: There are insufficient funds for those of us who are already here.” <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Research</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> <a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-recruiting-us-scientists-is-a-fine-idea-except-were-barely-supporting/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-recruiting-us-scientists-is-a-fine-idea-except-were-barely-supporting/</a>

Kyle Memoir 🍉We can thank Trump for this:He's showing Canadians the hatred, the racism, the ignorance, the abject stupidity, the greed, the wantonness, the unpredictability, the market-wrecking tunnel-vision, and the knowledge & freedom of speech suppression we should expect under Prime Minister Pömmedetèrre if we’re all of the above ourselves in sufficient numbers to vote him in. I fucking hate plastic, but I got a sign for the best alternative this time, and stuck it out front. Good luck.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a>

Zazzoo 🇨🇦Because they were bored I asked them about some stuff posted here yesterday:1/ Yesterday was insane, blew their minds, waits of up to two hours at this same location.2/ The slow hand-written process. Ink beats tech. Doesn't fail and elections are everywhere including places where communications can be dicey.3/ The code they copy when you show up is your registration's database ID, it gets used to verify ballot counts. There is no link back to your actual physical ballot.2/2 <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CdnPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CdnPoli</a>

Zazzoo 🇨🇦Just finished voting here in Ottawa-South. There seemed to be a lot of chaos reported by people yesterday, just wanted to share that today there were 6 polling tables, each staffed by two people. Two people directing traffic both outside and another two directing traffic inside.When I got inside, there was virtually nobody there except a bunch of very bored looking volunteers. I was able to vote immediately and was done in less than 10 minutes.1/2 <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CdnPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CdnPoli</a>
