BREAKING: The @PierrePoilievre campaign and the @CPC_HQ claim that Deb Jodoin was being paid by a third party to work on @patrickbrownont 's campaign. Meanwhile, Paul Sutherland, is a lobbyist being paid by Hill & Knowlton Canada while working on Poilievre's campaign. #cpcldr

Every decade or so in Canada, the ideological pendulum swings, and people start believing the sky is falling. Stephen Harper lost in a landslide in 2015. Conservatives have said the country is destroyed. The Liberals will probably lose the next election, and progressives will

I was 14 when my parents split. I barely saw my mom for more than a year, and my dad was completely withdrawn. My own kids were 8 & 6 when my ex and I separated. My daughter still asks why I am not there every morning. Divorce is fucking awful. Don't be giddy, just be quiet.

A @CPC_HQ executive just gave me a glimpse behind the curtain. The party has been in turmoil for a year, divided between convoy conservatives & classic conservatives. But the leadership race turned the rivalry into a calculated cheating exercise. They manipulated the process.

So @JustinTrudeau was supposed to start his press conference at 1pm. He still has not exited Rideau Cottage. Perhaps this is one time where being fashionably late is not a great idea. #cdnpoli #COVIDCanada #thequarantineact

A legacy outlet asked me to "give them" the texts and emails showing the premeditated ousting of Patrick Brown. I said I would consider working with them on 2 conditions: that they share the byline and do my podcast. They said they couldn't promise anything.

This is frustrating. Not because I care when I get blocked, but because the reporters who seem to have the thinnest skin are the ones who seem to be the most slanted in their coverage. Katie Simpson, your bias is still showing, even through the wall between us. #cdnpoli #elxn43

I used to like @CBCKatie . She was balanced, & she has one of the best voices in news. Her tone is strong & she seems made for the anchor desk. But her election coverage is tilted heavily against @AndrewScheer . She is tougher on him than the other leaders by far. #cdnpoli #elxn43

Warren Kinsella and I are not buds. Not even close. And honestly, I never thought I would see the day when Kinsella mentions me in an article without expletives surrounding my name, yet here we are. Refreshing, that. Maybe it's time to be buds.

This is what happens when a leader is overly paternalistic and doesn't level with Canadians from the beginning. His government can't negotiate, and Justin Trudeau can't stomach the idea of being transparent when it matters. In short, he's weak.

Dear @liberal_party voters, If #BillC10 was drafted by a conservative govt every last one of you would call it a fascist bill, the internet bill version of The Patriot Act. Watching you twist yourself to defend Bill C10 is a lesson in widespread, profound political hypocrisy.

I witnessed a Liberal lawyer plant a story in The Star. He wasnt a source, he called a reporter, gave him a story, & told him what angle to use. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia So, I laugh at the Star trying to lecture @TPostMillennial for anything related to ethics.

Just so nobody gets it twisted, I know almost no white ppl with the financial security to walk away from a job of any kind. So, the privilege Ben Mulroney says he has is so uncommon that this video statement is foreign to virtually everyone born without generational wealth.

Another fascist approach to Pride - either march or you hate gay people. The "icky" thing about Pride is the gratuitous sexualization of the event. Most of us would not attend a St. Patrick's Day parade if we had to endure strap-ons, naked hedonists & dildo jewlery. #PrideTO

I am simultaneously angry that the Tories have let this become such an issue and that they're so ideologically hellbent on not marching. Either explain just what is so icky about Pride or just wave that little Winners™ flag at the Muskoka pride brunch already.

'TERF' actually is a slur. It dehumanizes women. The people who use that slur are slaves to an orthodoxy that demands an ignorance towards biology, statistics, and the real threat of violence and marginalization towards women. Tabatha doesn't care about women.

While the @TorontoStar pats itself on the back for their story re Pierre Poilievre orchestrating Patrick Brown's leadership ouster, we were on it a year ago. But it won't matter for two reasons. 1. It's more of an internal party matter. 2. His base doesn't care at all.

With reason! @AndrewScheer has spent the whole election calling Trudeau names. Like Trump, Scheer validated « nasty » to shore up support with his base.

Pierre Poilievre's reaction to Trudeau's separation is to position himself as the family man politician. On paper it makes sense, but in a country where more than half of us get divorced, I am not sure this strategy will yield the results he is looking for.

Interesting to see that @CBCNews appears to be too timid to allow people to comment on a segment titled 'What the Trudeau Blackface Photos Say About Canada". New Title suggestion: What Does Disabling Comments on Trudeau Blackface Photos Say About the CBC?" #cdnpoli #elxn43

Can we be honest for a second? The religious ceremony conducted by @Puglaas in the office she is no longer entitled to occupy is one of the cheapest political stunts in recent memory. If that elder was an evangelic preacher every outlet would be calling it absurd. #cdnpoli
