Once the UCP in Alberta gerrymanders a district like this, there’s no going back. The precedent is set and the cycle begins. Democracy in the province will rot even faster than it’s rotting now. Draw the battle lines and dig in for a fight, because this one matters.

This is an incredibly class post by the new premier of BC about the new interim opposition leader . We need more of this kind of civil political discourse
Congratulations to Jennifer Whiteside on being named Interim Leader of the BC NDP. I sat across the floor from her for a long time and she is a serious person who works hard for the people she represents. A good opposition makes for a better government, and I expect her to hold us to account while we get to work delivering what we promised British Columbians.

This sounds promising and similar to what my discussions with European allies have explored. We don’t need membership to partner on more defence, energy and security issues. We can also safeguard digital & cultural sovereignty with the EU as well. 🇨🇦🇪🇺 thelogic.co/news/special-rep…

A thought for all the campaign staff on the BC NDP, Con and Green teams. Politics is a volatile and unpredictable business. 8 weeks ago none of this was imaginable. And those in government had “secure” jobs. Things change on a dime and you all pivoted into campaign, left your families for an intense battle over competing visions. And now some will lose jobs and others will gain them. It can seem unfair and sudden (and it is) but that’s what the people decide. Know that even though you are all doing political jobs - you too are public servants. We don’t say that enough but it’s true. Our democracy depends on well functioning political parties and the staff who make that happen. Thank you all for your service, whether you won or lost. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

"I'm very passionate about Toronto. I love this city. I'm raising my two daughters here. And I know that Toronto has not yet reached its full potential." @BradMBradford tells @MooreintheAM he is not the angry candidate, adding, "We're having a ton of fun on this campaign."

#BREAKING: @BradMBradford takes lead. A new snapshot of the City of Toronto from Mainstreet Research now shows Brad Bradford leading over incumbent Olivia Chow. With a week to election day, Bradford now has the support of over almost 5 in 10 voters (48.9%) compared to Chow who receives a nearly equal share (47.5%). 13% of voters remain undecided with just days until election day. #TOpoli mainstreetresearch.ca/post/b…

Canada is showing its love for Sass Jordan. ❤️ She’s currently #1 on Canada’s All Genres, Rock AND Blues charts, with her songs filling the Top Songs chart too. A beautiful reminder of Sass’s impact and the incredible range of music she gave us.

So nice to see Canadians celebrating Sass Jordan and her music today. We’ve always loved sharing her chart history and celebrating the incredible music she gave us. On such a sad day, seeing Sass back at #1 brings a much-needed smile. Her music meant so much to so many.
