Dear @JustinTrudeau No public official goes skiing on November 11 because we show respect to the veterans. On this day of reconciliation, you don't skip town and go to the beach because its about showing respect to survivors. This is not a holiday its a day of atonement.

Gotta hand it to the liberal spinmeisters. Trudeau and Morneau are facing major ethics investigations. Morneau will take the fall. Libs are trying to spin it as a showdown: progressive PM versus austerity minister. Sure.

This is evil. Pure evil. Canada needs to call out this abuse of children by the government of the United States.

This reminds me of “the banality of evil” in modern times, when a government lawyer is arguing—badly—that detained children don’t need blankets, beds, soap and toothbrush in detention even tho the law says it must be “safe and sanitary”. This is the raw reality and happening now.

Given the chaos faced by citizens in Ottawa it is time that @JustinTrudeau showed up for work. He needs to explain to Canadians: how he will help end the occupation; the path to heal the wounds and chart a path forward; and to articulate a vision that speaks to our shared values.

History was made tonight. Parliament voted for an immediate ceasefire, and end to arms funding to Israel, a denunciation of the crimes of Hamas and Israel, calling out settlers violence, a return of the hostages and work towards recognition of Palestinian state. Thanks to #NDP

Much of the media attention has been on the Parry Sound fire. The Lady Evelyn fire is nearly 3 times the size and is within 11 km of Elk Lake. We thank the Mexican fire crews who are in our region to help fight this massive fire.

The bodies of 215 children have been discovered at a Catholic residential school. The Catholic Church is the only Christian institution refusing to pay the indemnities or apologize. 3 years ago Parliament called on @Pontifex to act. We're still waiting

So @wpgpolice are putting their "major crimes" team to investigate people asking to search the garbage dump where the bodies of murdered Indigenous women were dumped. Why the FUCK don't you put your major crimes team to search for these women? #racism101

More than 65 phrases including profanity and acronyms used by police abolitionist groups were spray painted along the WPFG Half Marathon route. It is believed the graffiti occurred overnight. Major Crimes is investigating.

Andrew Scheer says he didn't hear the question on Pizzagate. But he answered it - blaming Trudeau and the Clinton Foundation. He needs to stop playing buddy/ buddy to extremist conspiracy nuts.

"What would Pierre Poilievre know about the working class? He has never had a job. His record shows it. When it came time to stand up to the profiteering by grocery giants, he supported the CEOs and their lobbyists. Who is he kidding?” -Charlie Angus

The Canada Proud gang regularly post my phone numbers to their rage mob. They think that if they get enough haters to harass my staff (who work on immigration and pension issues for constituents) I will give up public life and quit. Ain't going to happen Pierre.

You ever think about how Canada Proud’s founder went on to work for the Conservatives and did social media work for Poilievre’s team And do you wonder how that ever came to be considered normal?? Like, this org literally spreads fake news and launches harassment campaigns!

We have the rule of law in Canada. Justin Trudeau broke the law. He withheld evidence in the investigators by saying that protecting his own interest was the public interest. Tom Mulcair nails it when he says this "banana republic behaviour."

So @AndrewScheer says he will stand up to First Nations holding resource development projects "hostage". I invite this asshat to visit Treaty 9 where people have been held hostage for 100 plus years as some of the richest resource developments moved ahead Grow up you idjit.

I sat in court listening to @JustinTrudeau lawyers argue that Canada is suffering the most in these hearings. Seriously. I thought of Kanina Sue Turtle, Tammy Keeash, Azraya Kokopenance, Courtney Scott. God damn it Canada, These children needed you. And you spent money on lawyers
