    Extremely depressing numbers out today show youth unemployment in Canada at a 25 year high. It's getting harder to convince young people that the promise of an affordable life with a well-paying job can be achieved here. And, no, Donald Trump isn't to blame for that. #cdnpoli

    Fellow conservatives: If you're wondering why people perceive us as angry and unlikable, the partisan replies to this pretty innocuous tweet should answer that for you. Seriously - we don't need to be breathless about everything. #cdnpoli
    Hey parents! If your kids are stuck on a homework question, feel free to pass this message along. Because as a teacher, I want to help out. Let me know what the difficult question is by replying to this tweet or using the hashtag #CanadaHomeworkHelp - and Iโ€™ll see what I can do.

    Lots of questions for the Liberals at the moment, but really, people should be turning to Jagmeet Singh. How can the NDP keep saying they support Trudeau with a straight face? His own Ministers are walking away. The government is in chaos. We need an election. #cdnpoli

    Day one, two #cdnpoli pics, very different stories. Left: PM Mark Carney launches in St. John's NL to a crowd of 200-300, in a Liberal-held safe seat. Right: Opposition Leader @PierrePoilievre addresses a crowd of 2,400 in North York ON - an area that's a political dogfight.

    ๐Ÿ‘‹- there's a video circulating online of Erin O'Toole responding to a question on healthcare. As the person who asked the question, I'm disappointed to see the video was manipulated to exclude important context. Here's the full video โžก๏ธ youtube.com/watch?v=kI_H94โ€ฆ #cdnpoli #Elxn44

    In resigning, Trudeau blames a dysfunctional parliament, and his own caucus colleagues waging internal battles as to why he's stepping down. At least he's consistent: the fault is never his. Perhaps this is another learning opportunity for us all. #cdnpoli

    When I said โ€œyou would literally have to *pay me* to go campingโ€, I didnโ€™t think anyone thought I was being serious.
    A future Liberal government would provide $2,000 travel bursaries to send Canadians camping. I think that might be the stupidest thing I've heard so far in this election.

    Woah. 5,600 people out for @PierrePoilievre in Surrey, BC. Hearing it's putting strain on cell towers servicing the area. #cdnpoli

    A tale of two statements. Quite the contrast. #cdnpoli

    Gee, I can't imagine why Westerners feel isolated from Ottawa when our PM tells a Toronto room that pipelines aren't relevant for them, because ... they don't work in the patch, and should care about tech instead? A divisive look. Shades of Trudeau. #cdnpoli
    WATCH: In Toronto, PM Carney asked if a new pipeline is coming. -calls it "boring," suggesting it's not of interest to the Toronto audience -says "it's going to happen," then corrects himself to say "SOMETHING is going to happen" -ends by saying that data centers will be more

    The (mainly) Liberal men I see sharing this clip seem to think this is some kind of "gotcha" on Poilievre. Nope. Young couples can't afford homes, so they delay having families. Sometimes, time runs out. It's tragic for many. This isn't the mic drop you think it is. #cdnpoli
    Yeah he does. As he should. This is a huge issue for women and millennial families and damn right he cares about solving it. Your government made it worse over the last decade.

    Imagine having so little pride in Canada that you view our nation's flag as an American dog whistle. #cdnpoli
    We were wondering where we've seen this movie before. ๐Ÿฅด

    In 20 seconds, Mr. Carney manages to undercut two of our Premiers *and* condescendingly judge Americans for their media consumption. Conservatives take a lot of flak for "tone". I look forward to what the commentariat has to say about how this helps Team Canada. #cdnpoli
    The overt disrespect that Carney shows Premier @ABDanielleSmith here tells you everything you need tonight know about this man. Listen to the disdain from the crowd. He will not unify Canada. He will break it apart and we will lose our country. We canโ€™t let him do that.

    Needs to be said: the fact you cannot dine in a restaurant for another 3+ months, when 2/3+ of the population is vaccinated, is completely arbitrary. A nail in the coffin for restos without patios - with no evidence they're the source of spread. Brutal.
