Paul Nesbitt-LarkingKingston, Ontario, this morning. It took us over an hour to vote. Among those in the queue were seniors with serious mobility challenges, quietly resilient. They and we know that Canada is under attack and faces existential threats. The need for a massive display of unity has never been greater.
Canadian Federal Election English debate so far:
Blanchet: Slightly squiffy visiting Uncle
Singh: Intense teen brother trying to correct the adults
Poilievre: Former family friend (uninvited) reminding everyone why he doesn’t get invitations
Carney: Beleaguered Dad who can’t get a word in

Throne speech ignites outcry over Ford’s environmental rollbacks
Despite years of public outcry and widespread criticism from experts and advocates over weakened conservation laws, the Ford government doubled down on its first day back in power — vowing to slash environmental oversight to fast-track mineral and infrastructure projects.
Tonight’s Canadian federal election post-debate scrum was dominated by an organization called Rebel News.
It’s a far-right special interest group that recycles misinformation/disinformation - definitely not journalism.
What a tiresome waste + irrelevance for candidates + attentive voters.

Mr. #Poilievre also pledged his Conservative govt would cut what he called "wasteful foreign aid" #elxn45 #cdnpoli #canada #veterans "the lost Liberal decade" ⬇️

Trump believes Canadians would 'benefit greatly' from becoming 51st state, White House rep reiterates
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, answering questions from CBC reporter Katie Simpson about auto tariffs and Canada-U.S. relations, said Tuesday: 'I would reject the president's position on Canada has shifted,' reiterating that President Donald Trump maintains the U.S. has been subsidizing Canada’s national defence, and that Canadians would 'benefit greatly' from becoming the 51st state.
In the #Canadian #Election2025 #carney is the lesser of two evils from a #ClimateCrisis perspective. Yet his policies are not good enough. But I must vote for his party to block #Poilievre who is worse on multiple perspectives.
