Poilievre just called CTV News’ Judy Trinh a “protester” because she dared try to ask him a question outside of the incredibly rigid four-questions-no-follow-up process his party has.
Very cool stuff

BREAKING: Clothing stores like Fabletics now have a Tariff Surcharge Line Item.
This is the new norm in the Trump economy.
I commend any companies who do this. Transparency is good and at least we know why our prices went up.

By promoting open conversations and emphasizing education, the late Murray Sinclair demonstrated a commitment to guiding individuals from acknowledgment of past mistakes toward active participation in reconciliation efforts.
Let’s move forward.

AIOC isn’t just about dollars and cents—it’s about changing lives. $720M in transactions, but the real impact is long-term Indigenous prosperity and ownership. #ReconciliationInAction #IndigenousEconomy

The future is Indigenous-led. The Loan Guarantee Program isn’t just policy—it’s power. Proud to witness bold voices driving real economic transformation at @Canada2020

Heartbroken to hear my child’s amazing ECE has to leave Canada due to immigration rules. Child care is infrastructure. How can we support working moms if immigration policy pushes out the very workers holding up $10/day care?

The child care workforce is already stretched thin. Many centres rely on internationally trained educators who face barriers to permanent residency—despite being essential. We need immigration pathways that align with our child care goals.

We can’t build an affordable, accessible system while creating instability for the people who make it possible. Fixing this mismatch should be a policy priority. I stand with the educators and the families they support. #ECE #ChildCare #WomenInWorkforce

Taylor’s economic impact in New Orleans from the Eras Tour exceeds the projected economic impact from this entire Super Bowl. But boo all you want, I guess. 🤷♀️
