I hated Question Period because of all the heckling, personal attacks & abuse. No other workplace would allow it. And that was the critical message the Speaker @GregFergus was trying to send. Conservative politicians need to grow up or get out.

'Boorish and rude': Conservatives heckle House Speaker during speech on ills of heckling

House of Commons Speaker Greg Fergus was heckled repeatedly on Wednesday over his decision to delay question period in order to deliver a speech to MPs about the issue of heckling.

A few more things: 1. I have the best team. They don't deserve this. There are many amazing people who support politicians behind the scenes. Thanks!❤️ 2. It's not ok. Politicians & journalists of all stripes shouldn't have to put up with this rubbish. 3. Cdns deserve better.🇨🇦

The @twitter hate does get me down a bit. More for the nice folks who engage & get sucked into my vortex. But I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to talk abt what I care abt & sometimes make mistakes or say things that folks don't like. But I will try to focus on what I believe in.

It is hard not to be exhausted after the last 2 years and the last month in Ottawa. But then I think of Ukrainians. Fighting for their country. Fighting for their freedoms. Fighting for their children. Fighting for their lives. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

This is how you behave when faced with a serious question if you've never worked a job outside of politics and think everything is Conservative university debate club. Hey Poilievre: You think you want to be Prime Minister? Then act like one.

The moment you're dropping off your child at university and you realize that you're seeing their life through the rear view mirror and they're looking straight ahead. 🥲❤️

Being tough means being tough on climate change! As the Republican governor of California, @Schwarzenegger earned bipartisan support for a price on pollution over a decade ago. Thanks for voicing your support for our plan that's proven to work! #TerminatingClimateChange

1/3 We don’t want to see ‘Trump mentality’ come to Canada says former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien: “We are not appealing to the fear in people. We are appealing to the generosity in people,” Rt. Hon. Jean Chrétien #ChooseForward #elxn2019 #VoteLiberal

Amazing thing. I am no longer in politics so I have even less tolerance for climate trolls. Bye bye.

Some days I worry about Canada. I've lived in countries that have torn themselves apart. Will we realize that Canada is not all about what we get out of it but what we give back to it? Climate change, reconciliation, equity all take work. We can build. Or we can divide. ❤️🇨🇦

Thanks Premier. I appreciate your words. Politics matters. We can disagree but let’s do it respectfully.

Disgusting. There is no place in Canada for hate like this. While we may disagree on matters, we must always respect one another.

The thing about Poilievre's tweets is that they're over the top, misleading, nasty, cynical & bad for any reasonable debate. Exactly what I saw from him in the House. I guess it's what you get when you've never had a job outside of politics. Not a good look if you want to be PM.

Every politician should be saying this loudly and clearly and publicly right now. Especially Conservative politicians.

This is gross intimidation. People are angry. I get it. But this is dangerous behaviour. It cannot be normalized. Every political leader must speak out and condemn this. #cdnpoli

Free advice: Go into politics to improve the lives of the people you represent not to improve the fortunes of your crony developer friends.

I find this picture so incredibly moving. This is @GretaThunberg aged 15, sat alone outside the Swedish Parliament Aug 2018 - the first school strike. In just one year, she’s created a wave that will change the whole world. Never underestimate the power of one young person 💜💚
