Last Sunday I gave a public talk about the state of democracy today. I felt that this was a good moment to lay out what is happening between Canada and the U.S. while showing the dangers and the possibilities. Watch the full speech on my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/johnra…

I need my followers to retweet this for all Albertans to see! Vote for Bonnie Critchley! She is a retired veteran who believes strongly in fair voting practices. Unlike PP she served this country. Don’t let PP back in parliament, he’s like Trump and he will be a disaster. Canada counts on you Battle River—Crowfoot residents! 🙏 I’m shadow banned; help me get views, don’t let’s the negativity win. Push for good. 🤍

To the residents of BattleRiver-Crowfoot: On Monday each of you have the opportunity to send a clear message to the Conservatives. Poilievre had no right to force your duly elected MP Kurek out so he can try again. He won't represent you. So vote wisely! Kick him to the curb !

The Ford government is threatening to take over the TDSB, claiming financial mismanagement. But trustees are clear: the real issue is chronic underfunding from the province! 📉 “This is only about underfunding public education in the City of Toronto and attempting to deflect from the minister’s responsibility.” – Trustee Shelley Laskin 📊 “Education funding has not kept up with inflation… I respectfully suggest that (the minister) and his team look in the mirror.” – Trustee Dan MacLean Students deserve better. Ontario deserves better. Fund education—don’t deflect 🚫 🔗 bit.ly/4jHjUfS #OntEd #OSSTF #OnPoli

Dear Pierre: Perhaps "THANK YOU SO MUCH PRIME MINISTER" is in order. He doesn't have to call a by-election for you right away. He's doing it anyway. Maybe respect and appreciation is in order. Because I guarantee you no other Prime Minister would do this for YOU of all people. – at Pickering, Ontario

LIBERALS: for every one of us sitting at home and not voting on Monday, there will be three Cons waiting in line to vote. This is not a drill.

Joyous Sunday! I’m fully confident in @MarkJCarney and his lovely wife, they’re a powerhouse couple who love Canada with all their hearts. If you’re unsure who to vote for, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, Carney is the best PM to lead us! Vote Liberal for Canada! ❤️

The attack at the Lapu Lapu festival has left our country shocked, devastated, and heartbroken. To those grieving, to those who were injured, to the Filipino Canadian community, and to everyone in Vancouver: Canada is mourning with you, and we are united behind you.

Poilievre is returning to his riding of Carleton on this last day, he hasn't been there in several years, never holds a debate there and hasn't done a thing for the riding. #NeverPoilievre vote him out. #Carleton

Pierre Poilievre used the senseless murder of 16 people in Vancouver to springboard into this woman’s video to create fear porn for votes today. Dude has the values of a fucking serial killer. Pure garbage.
The CPC instagram account reposted a video with this as the caption: “Violent crime is on the rise in Canada. What happened in Vancouver last night is a reminder of that. Police said the suspect was known to them … how are we allowing these people to roam freely?” #cdnpoli

Your vote tomorrow will be for: A Liberal Party full of hope, talent and brains. Or A single man full of anger running the CPC in his image. Choose hope, talent and brains.

What a badge of honour: I am FIRST on the CPC’s hate list of traitorous economists!! I will frame this and put it on the wall next to my PhD. #MakeADifferenceInYourLife
I had forgotten about this. Thanks for reminding me, since I'm on that list as well.

Dear Ottawa Peeps: NEVER. FORGET. NEVER. FORGIVE. 🇨🇦
Never forget poilievre served coffee and donuts to the people who waved nazi flags and urinated on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. "[Poilievre] didn't stand with the people of Ottawa. He stood with the lawless. Never forget that." #NeverPoilievre #NeverVoteConservative
