Eric's running a positive campaign of ambitious ideas to inspire Ontarians across party lines. Whether he wins or not, he widens the conversation and reminds us that we need not acquiesce to institutional mediocrity.

I thought X was supposed to autotranslate into English now?

I'm not in Andrew's private club so I can't ask him how his "Liberal values" differ from my liberal values, but I'd like to know how one wins elections by trying to chase away people like me who are attracted by a refreshing leadership candidate.

Canadians and Ontarians are tired of divide-and-conquer identity politics, especially from our party. Like, can we move on? No one wants 2010s Liberal politics anymore, including most Liberals. Let’s engage on substance.

They couldn't just use @Wise?

In Canada, a retired couple earning $182,000 a year still collects more than $18,000 from Old Age Security. Meanwhile 400,000 seniors live in poverty. Millennials pay 28% more in income taxes toward seniors' retirements than boomers did at the same age. Chrétien tried to fix this in 1996. Politics killed it. It's time to rebalance OAS and restore generational fairness.

Sometimes I get the urge to unfollow everyone here except Hopper.

On behalf of the people of Ontario, I extend my sincere condolences to the family, loved ones and fellow service members of Toronto Police Service Constable Marc Pinizzotto, who was killed in the line of duty today. Today is a sobering reminder of the sacrifices and risks faced by police officers across Ontario every day as they work to keep our province safe.

"While it is true that Canadian oil and natural gas volumes have grown over the past ten years, they grew at a fraction of their potential. We have continued to grow by debottlenecking existing projects, improving efficiencies, and brownfield expansion. We continue to lever off the investments that were made prior to 2015. In fact, only one greenfield oil sands project has been approved and built since 2013, while capital investment in oil sands peaked in 2014. So as Canadians, we need to ask ourselves – what did we get for this? We forewent investment, jobs, royalties, and taxes, while the world continued to consume exactly the same amount of energy... it just didn’t come from Canada." /4

The DSA Left is a machine built to fight moderate Democrats in factional warfare. The DSA Left is not built to fight Republicans. It has no idea of its own points of vulnerability because moderate Ds never fight back very hard.

My attempt to get Gemini to help with setting up a @TELUS camera is going well:

Alberta separatist routinely throw real Conservative accomplishments, not to mention @stephenharper’s government, into the dustbin of history. That’s wrong. Albertans have improved Alberta’s place in Canada before. We can do it again. open.substack.com/pub/thelin…

Not that other parties are much better, but this is nuts. #onpoli

Does this mean I'm going to get my Southern Comfort back?

Too soon to say who I'll back election time; his party is not my natural home. However, Eric is injecting a lot of sense and energy that #onpoli desperately needs. I wish him well.

You misunderstand the purpose of this event, which has been going on since long before Bibi was PM, and will exist long after. It’s an event to celebrate Israel, that’s all. It’s not a statement on the current government of Israel or on Israeli policies. It’s simply to celebrate this resilient, tenacious, strong, beautiful, accomplished country. The Walk is not political - it’s not left it’s not right, it’s not a statement. It’s a celebration of the fact that Israel exists. That’s it.

“The conservative movement in Canada is a blended fabric, a coalition [of] classical liberals, libertarians, social conservatives, monarchists, prairie populists, Tories, and more. Attempting to make it a pure fabric will tear it apart.” thehub.ca/2026/06/08/its-tim…

Sorry man, when I was running Pierre’s campaign back in the year of our Lord 2004, Fred was part of political operations with the CPC. He went on to run for us, support his wife who ran for us and continues to back conservatives, including Pierre. This “fake conservative” nonsense is the real harm. Conservatism in Canada requires a coalition of fiscal responsibility/ accountability conservatives, law and order/ defence and foreign policy conservatives, individual and property rights conservatives and pro family social conservatives and then finding a balance of those to win and to govern. I loved that 2004 campaign. It brought the national coalition with all four pillars together thanks to Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay. Locally, Pierre ran on “strong families, safe streets and self reliance”. So perfect. All that that said, C(c)onservatism is not exclusionary. It is not anger. It is not extreme in ideology. It does not seek permission. Keep that in mind when you try to shame Fred out of the party. We are all Fred. And we ain’t going anywhere.

THIS IS COMMUNITY. Thank you for Walking with Israel. 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
