Holy shit, Bruce. You had me at "I'm going to defeat PP in his home riding". That was enough. But now you're going to actually follow your conscience & promote sensible policies that help Canadians? I'm just having a lot of feelings right now...

Bruce Fanjoy:

Statement Regarding the Return to Office Policy
February 9*, 2026
On February 5th, 2026, the federal government announced an updated Return-to-Office
(RTO) policy for federal public servants. Today, I am calling upon the government to reconsider this policy for the following reasons:
1. The new RTO policy makes it harder to achieve the government's priorities of reducing the operating cost of government, improving affordability, and respecting the environment. Instead, it will cost both the government and citizens more and increase pollution.
2. There is little to no evidence that a one-size-fits-all RTO policy will improve productivity or service to Canadians.
3. The RTO policy makes it harder for public servants to balance work with other responsibilities.
I believe Canada is better served by a hybrid model that balances a mix of in-office and remote work. The right balance is flexible and depends on circumstances. Done well, a hybrid model reduces the cost of government and benefits workers and all Canadians.
To my constituents in Carleton, I hear you. I will continue to press for solutions that work for you and all Canadians.
Sincerely,
Bruce Fanjoy
Member of Parliament for Carleton

GM Canada layoffs hit Oshawa plant, putting up to 1,200 autoworkers out of work Friday | CBC News The day Oshawa, Ont., autoworkers have dreaded for months has arrived, as GM Canada is poised to cut a shift at the city’s plant, costing over a thousand workers their jobs.

Heartbreaking and enraging. Either the federal government steps up with an actual systemic solution – including public or worker ownership – or we’ll be reading these headlines and watching communities gutted for years to come.

Today, I’m pausing in sadness and solemn reflection to mourn the six worshippers who were killed in an act of Islamophobic terror at the Islamic Cultural Centre in Quebec City nine years ago. 

My thoughts are with family members who lost loved ones, and with all those whose lives were forever changed by that horrific act of violence – including Aymen Derbali, who was paralyzed for life after attempting to stop the gunman.

This anniversary is a stark reminder of the deadly consequences of hate, and of the work that remains to be done in Canada to eradicate Islamophobia, racism, and anti-immigrant hatred.

At a time when racism and fearmongering is on the rise in the country, we must do far more to confront the forces that divide us. That includes working side by side with Muslim communities to protect their safety, security and wellbeing; strengthening education and public awareness about Islamophobia; enhancing support for victims of hate crimes; and taking real action to hold social media companies accountable for the spread of racist hate online.

Today and every day, I stand in solidarity with Muslim communities against hatred and discrimination. Our fates are intertwined – and our unity only makes us stronger.

Portrait of Thomas Jefferson

Portrait of Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings.

Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property,

BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

Our markets are open to the tune of purchasing $349 billion in goods from the U.S. in 2024. That's $8,400 per capita based on our population of 41.5 million. We exported close to $413 billion in goods to the U.S. That's a per capita rate of roughly $1,180 per American. Proportionately, we buy more!

When I lived in the US, I could not stand the taste of their milk or butter. Bland and watery would be a good way to describe it.

I don’t know a Canadian alive that would buy that crap over our own even if you didn’t despise the Trump regime.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was on Face The Nation spouting off about Canada needing to "open our markets"...

The sheer arrogant ignorance of assuming that Canadians would buy US crap if only markets were "open"...

independent candidate. If voting for any other party gives you sleepless nights, how about voting for an independent who knows you, your community, your values, your goals as Albertans, and will represent you well in Ottawa. Poilievre won't. He'll be gone as soon as the election is over.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Kristi Noem lied about this multiple times in press conferences & TV appearances. This confirms the 3 day delay was solely caused by her. It’s an absurdity that the person who leaves govt is this man & not her stupid, incompetent cosplaying ass traveling with her (alleged) lover.
