    The convoy crew have told me I will be jailed, charged with war crimes and sent to hell. Now we are being warned they are targeting our staff and our homes. I have work to do in Ottawa and my staff are there to help people through this pandemic. I will not be intimidated.

    As Donald Trump stays home because he didn't want to get wet I'm proud that our Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau understands the Canadian duty of remembrance:

    The anti-vaxx protesters made a mockery of the tomb of the unknown soldier today. They defaced the Terry Fox statute and his legacy. And now there is a swastika being flown at our parliament. A fucking swastika.

    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.

    Okay, so let me get this straight. Pierre Poilievre who lives in a 19 room mansion with private chef (paid for by the taxpayers) is pissed that the PM visited the Holiday Inn in Sudbury. Our 24/7 rage boy needs to touch grass.

    Poilievre is a liar. He's a liar. He's a liar. I have known him for 20 years. He will say anything. Do anything. Burn anything to the ground to score a point. And did I mention that he is a liar.?

    Today I met with UN rapporteur @FranceskAlbs at Parliament on the ongoing genocide in Gaza and abuses in the Palestinian territory. I work with my NDP colleagues to push Canada to take a stronger position for ceasefire, human rights and aid to end the deliberate starvation.

    In 15 years of Parliament I have seen all kinds of scandals. I have seen political soap operas and lots of bad behavior. But I have never seen two women vilified and kicked out of their caucus for standing up for the rule of law. They deserve better @Puglaas @janephilpott

    Here's a simple proposition. The Russian Embassy in Canada is at 285 Charlotte Street in Ottawa. Why don't we rename it Zelensky Blvd? Because from this moment on Volodymyr Zelensky has redefined Russia's relationship with the world. @CMckenney @JimWatsonOttawa @dianedeans

    751 bodies. How to even process the magnitude of this number? This was not a "school". It was and remains a crime scene.

    I am proud that the Prime Minister flew to Kyiv to raise the Canadian flag at the embassy in Ukraine. I don't often agree with him on issus but as the elected head of our nation he does us proud standing in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. Bravo.

    Listen Asshat, Your lies about Remembrance Day were juvenile. Don't double down. How about you just shut it for 24 hours? Show some respect for people who take Nov. 11 seriously. Btw... let us know when you have passed a security clearance. For the good of the country.

    What an absolute disgrace that so many woke activists & authorities used Remembrance Day to push their divisive and radical causes, denigrating our history and the brave military members who sacrificed for it. We are a proud country with a proud history, and everyone who lives

    Half a million folks applied for EI this week. I have been speaking with many who do not qualify - part timers, waitresses, temp workers, people doing contracts, artists. They can't afford to wait for weeks. We need a basic income plan.
