    PM Mark Carney says he will not meet Donald Trump to negotiate a trade deal until Trump recognizes Canada as a sovereign nation. Then we will negotiate nation to nation.

    recently released NIH study of a 1million cohort of school kids in USA showed that schools with mandatory mask-mandates, had 72% fewer “in-school transmissions” of Covid19, compared with schools that did not have mask-mandates.

    Funny how ppl comment on economic matters with no historical context! PM Chrétien cleaned up Mulroney’s $ 43 billion deficit in 3 yrs..PM Martin left a $13 billion surplus for Harper which he blew in his first year and left a $55 billion deficit in 2015. Those are the facts.

    I’ve been thinking about the photos of @JustinTrudeau, taken 20 years ago. I listened carefully to the PM’s apology. He admitted it was a “dumb” thing to do, he apologized sincerely, and I accept his apology. I know this man well. He does not have a racist bone in his body.

    Strange to see @PierrePoilievre Suddenly talking about enticing municipalities to get housing built. He not only voted against Liberal housing, partnering with municipalities, but forbade his MPs to help their mun get LIb gvt housing grants. Funny what u do when u are desperate.

    Today marks 43 years since a Pierre Trudeau Liberal government enacted the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is the cornerstone of a modern pluralistic democracy. Today that charter is under attack by Pierre Poilievre who seeks to dismantle those rights and freedoms.

    Met with Bruce Fanjoy, Member of Parliament for Carleton, who defeated Pierre Poilievre! I never thought I’d find myself saying this… but it was a pleasure to meet with the Member from Carleton. BTW we are thinking of forming a #DragonSlayerCaucus Congratulations, Bruce.

    It would be funny if it were not so sad. The leader of the #CPC points out that 1 in 4 Canadian children go to school hungry. Yet he votes against the govt national school food program! #notcommonsense

    Well, looks like Donald Trump still wants Canada to be the 51st state… That will NEVER happen with Mark Carney as Prime Minister.

    I find it ludicrous that the leader of. #CPC would accuse the Fed govt of not caring about the cost of living when they voted against every policy designed to help Canadians cope : child school food program, dental care, pharmacare, the tax- free Canada child Benefit…

    Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau announced that Moderna will build a vaccine manufacturing facility in Canada that will be able to produce 100M vaccines annually when completed. This will establish Canada’s domestic production capacity and add hundreds of new jobs to the economy.
