The US is arbitrarily revoking people's immigration status and disappearing them to Salvadoran work prisons.

Mark Carney says it's "appropriate" to reject people's asylum claims because of the Safe Third Country agreement.

What exactly does he think is going on? What does he expect people to do??

“Mr. Szuchewycz [Longest Ballot group] said they had also intended to sign up dozens of candidates in Liberal Leader Mark Carney's neighbouring Nepean riding.
The group didn't have enough time to organize because Carney only announced where he'd be seeking a seat the weekend he triggered an election.”

CBC · Longest ballot protest targets Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's ridingBy Darren Major

'If we don't elect Mark Carney we are fools.
Not only is our PM intelligent, read about his wife!!

(Trump? Hello? )

"She has a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and a master's degree in agricultural economics from the University of Oxford and an MA in international relations from the University of Pennsylvania."Has published research.

Over 80+ Independents have grossly expanded the candidate list in Conservative leader #Poilievre's Carleton riding, in hopes that voters won't recognize Liberal Bruce Fanjoy's name on the ballot.

At least 16 of these "long ballot" candidates listed in #Ottawa Carleton also ran in #Toronto-St.Paul's, which caused that longtime Liberal riding to change to Conservative.

Bruce Fanjoy has also had 300++ signs stolen or defaced.

"Majority governments aren’t always a good idea, but for this 2025 Federal election it’s an absolute necessity for our economy, our sovereignty, and our democracy.

Anything less and Pierre Poilieve will continue to disrupt parliament and slow down the progress dealing with Trump tariffs."

On the other hand, if everyone in #Ottawa Carleton were to come together and vote for Bruce Fanjoy we might not have to listen to Mr #Poilievre in the House of Commons again. 😉

In case you think the issues with oil pipelines have changed. There's a new spill of 3,500 barrels in North Dakota on the Keystone pipeline.

"There have been 23 spills along the Keystone oil pipeline, including 4 in North Dakota."

"One leak in 2022 in Kansas was the largest onshore oil spill in 9 years."

"The leaks have varied in size, but in total the Keystone pipeline has spilled more than 1 million gallons of crude oil over the years."

I drove all the way backroads to Kingston last weekend to buy a bike, and it’s mostly blue signs and big flags, oh and a big ol’ truck flying a Trump flag. Ever since the convoy, my own resolve to fly a flag basically evaporated, and I find it such a weird cultural clusterfuck we find ourselves in. I do find it funny that the convoy folks are mad that everyone is flying flags right now tho, but if you fly one from your vehicle? Do not trust you #canada #cdnpoli #ottawa #onpoli

CBC’s Surreal Task: Report on the Guy Who Wants It Dead thetyee.ca/Analysis/2025/04/08

“Pity the poor CBC reporter this campaign, tasked with the sacred trust of objective reporting.

You have Prime Minister Mark Carney promising a $150-million boost to the CBC budget.

And you have Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, avowed enemy of the CBC, who has promised to defund the public broadcaster (well, the English-speaking side of it) and is refusing to take questions from its reporters.”

Okay. I’m torn. I desperately want the #Liberals to win the election.

Buuuuuuuut…

My Liberal MP is pretty useless. #Davenport used to be a Liberal-NDP marginal but, this time, polls are predicting the Liberals will walk away with 2/3 of the vote.

So I can safely vote Liberal NDP or Green.

I need to decide soon to get my ballot in the post.

I hope immigrants to Canada are looking at what is happening in the US and accept that it will happen to them if the conservatives win.

The conservatives in Canada are as anti-immigrant, anti-brown, black, LGBTQ and women as the Trump administration.

Even if you get through the US border doesn’t mean you won’t get harassed down there.

One couple, asian, we know was stop and searched three times.

A lesbian couple we know has been going to Arizona for years but just returned saying they were harassed for being Canadian.

Hate directed at all these neighbours because, maybe, they have #BritishColumbia car plates.

Either be very careful in the US or don’t go until it’s safer.
