Many guests in the Commons today - and some MPs - are wearing traditional Ukrainian colours and clothing. Folks in the crowd include Chief of Defence Staff Wayne Eyre, former BQ leader Gilles Duceppe. No official guest list has been released.

I’ve long thought some of the weaknesses of the 43rd Parliament could be chalked up to the pandemic making it really hard for opposing MPs to get to know each other, as people. Neither of these guys made it into the 44th, but the incoming class should take notes.

Every political candidate in this country is someone with a story to tell and a belief in a better Canada. We should always be building bridges and learning from one another. It was great to connect with @DevineSean and share our experiences from the campaign trail in #Nepean !

The anticipation that comes from hitting refresh on the election results page is akin to hitting refresh on the camp website to see if they've posted a photo of your kid yet. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.

Today, Poilievre will launch his own fight: rising in the Commons and speaking nonstop until the Liberals put forward a plan to balance the budget.

This was the moment that Conservative insiders knew Erin O’Toole would lose the election

Every child care centre in this province is facing staffing shortages driven by isolation requirements and no available testing. The under-five set share germs faster than Ryder can rally the paw patrol. Yet zero priority is placed on mitigating this. Why?
