The Confederate flag is a horribly racist artifact that has no place in Canada. Shame on anyone who waves or displays it.

- People who believe in freedom don’t have nazi or confederate flags. If you believe in democracy, you don’t talk about overthrowing the government. Those love Canada don’t desecrate our most sacred monuments. Real leaders don’t defend this trash behaviour. We stand against it.
- I'm going to bed, & when I wake up the leader of the CPC will still be someone who doesn't believe in taking action on climate change, isn't progressive on women's rights, marriage equality or international development & still doesn't have a plan to help 🇨🇦 through COVID-19.
- I’ve changed in my office after a run before. I’ve also left my camera on without realizing it. Never at the same time, that just makes me lucky. My pal Will made an honest mistake. But sharing a leaked nude photo of someone without consent, that’s a choice. An unethical one.
- I challenge Mr. Poilievre to explain to Canadians what part of the Prime Minister’s message, simply denouncing hate against a vulnerable minority, that he so strongly disagrees with. Pierre is no leader, his populist rage-farming is unbecoming of anyone who seeks to help people.
- More and more grateful everyday to be Canadian. Tonight is another example of why. ❤️🇨🇦 #PresidentialDebate
- Sometimes the best chapter of a book isn't the last chapter. I'm proud of my career & grateful for the support. Never prouder to be CDN🇨🇦
- If you want to be Prime Minister, you should be a champion for all things Canada. It’s been an awesome Paralympics for Team Canada - 29 Medals, so many amazing stories… but Pierre Poilievre hasn’t said a thing. Nothing congratulatory, encouraging or celebratory. What gives?🧵
- I’m endorsing Mark Carney to be the next leader of the Liberal Party & Prime Minister of Canada. Canada is the best country in the world - together we will stand up for 🇨🇦 & push back against threats from Trump & his billionaire pals. Register to vote at Liberal.ca
00:00 - Ontario Place. The Greenbelt. CBC. Ontario Science Centre. Highway407. Universal Healthcare & Public Education. Conservatives sell off our assets, starve institutions, attack unions & privatize services that should be public. This anti-public sector agenda makes us all poorer.
- Pierre Poilievre is running for his eighth (8th!) term as MP for Carleton, and he can’t point to one good thing he’s done for Canadians or his constituents over those two decades. Just blaming and finger pointing. Carleton deserves change, vote for @brucefanjoy!
- Every person in Ontario needs to listen to our province’s Auditor General in this video. It’s corruption in plain sight - Doug Ford is making his friends $8.3 Billion richer while reneging on his promises to protect our Greenbelt, one of Ontario’s greatest natural assets.Ontario Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk says Premier Doug Ford’s plan for the Greenbelt was biased, truncated, lacking expertise across different ministries — and select developers had access to Housing Minister’s Chief of Staff.
00:00 - Poilievre didn’t march in a Pride parade & didn’t bother to show up to the Parliament Hill Pride flag raising. But he’s just thrilled to get a photo with a homophobic fan! Don’t buy the “I didn’t see his shirt” BS… Yeah you did, Pierre. Grow up.
- This is a good time to remember that 49% of the Conservative Party of Canada wanted Maxime Bernier to be their leader.
