Shoutout to 65+ Canadians for being true haters

I've door knocked for a very small handful of politicians in my life. @anitaanandmp.bsky.social was one. Her story inspired me at the time and I continue to be proud of her work as a MP. I'm not surprised she isn't seeking re-election because she has more to contribute outside politics

Linking to substacks is banned on r/Canada "not high enough credibly". PressProgress has been also been a blacklisted domain on r/Canada for a while. They consider it an "advocacy group". DM if you want to talk more I unfortunately have quite a bit of reddit experience (100k+ karma in r/Canada)

Yeah I think we can safely say a lot of the world was still preoccupied with covid in 2022. Which would lead 2023 to be about "recovery" and by 2024 people didn't see the recovery they were hoping for is the most logical flow I can think of

I'm biased as I was a Nate volunteer but I truely don't understand what people saw in her besides "she won Mississauga as mayor" like that has any real correlation to provincial politics

I see now Jake beat me to the punch. Fully agree with him. I now I was clear eyed about the challenges ahead during the OLP leadership election. How was the selected leader not?

OLP lost two straight majority elections to someone they would consider a buffoon, have no coherent identity, and don't even have official party status.
Crombie: "I thought this would be easier"
OLP chose wrong and are doomed. It is what it is

Ford government ‘in conversation’ with Hwy. 407 owners as buy back calls grow | Globalnews.ca The Ministry of Transportatioon said conversations had taken place but didn't say what the government was considering or how far it had gone in its discussions.

Moving majority of shipping trucks to 407 was part of the Ontario Green's 2022 platform. Thought it was smart then, still think it's a good idea even if implemented by Ford. Steal good ideas your opposition parties have!

Not the worst guess but Bailão still outperformed expectations. Glad Chow brought it home, hoping for a solid four years 🤞

Anyone want to try predicting the top 3 results of the Toronto mayoral race with me for fun? Here's my guess #topoli #cdnpoli (is that a thing here?)
1. Chow 36%
2. Bailão 28%
3. Saunders 11%
