I would be satisfied with a coalition government in Ontario where Erskine-Smith or Stiles is the Premier (I am ideologically closer to the ONDP so I would prefer Marit Stiles as Premier, but Erskine-Smith would make a good Premier too), and where the Erskine-Smith, Stiles & Schreiner work together
Trump has a track record of looking for reasons to slap tariffs on other countries. It doesn’t take much, any excuse can become justification for economic pressure, regardless of the broader context.
That pattern is exactly why his stated reasoning shouldn’t be treated as serious or principled.
Poilievre loves to use this format when he comes up with slogans 😂
Under my leadership, the next time the NDP holds the balance of power in parliament, we’ll have one demand: proportional representation.
Sous ma direction, la prochaine fois que le NPD détiendra la balance du pouvoir au Parlement, nous n'aurons qu'une exigence : la représentation proportionnelle.
You were correct 👏
By listening to all of the times he has insulted other politicians (such as Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh), used divisive language, etc.
However, while his standing within the party is robust, the broader challenge for Poilievre lies in his appeal to the Canadian electorate as a whole, with Carney consistently outperforming him in “preferred PM” polling, which shows a gap between party loyalty and general voter favourability. (2/2)
I believe Poilievre is likely to do very well in his upcoming leadership review, possibly getting an approval rate in the 80%–90% range, reflecting his strong support and popularity among Conservative Party of Canada members. (1/2)
I’m proud to stand with the many Iranian people who are protesting against their dictatorship 👏
The budget vote is set for tonight at 6:45 PM.
NDP interim leader Don Davies hasn’t yet indicated how his party’s MPs will vote. If a sufficient number of them vote against the budget and it fails to pass, a snap election would be triggered.
How do you expect the NDP MPs to vote?
According to this poll, only 53% of *right-wing Canadians* want the CPC to keep Poilievre as its leader 💀
🚨 Let’s be clear: Pierre Poilievre wants to WASTE your hard-earned taxpayer dollars on foreign aid to Israel (as they are committing a genocide in Gaza and have illegal settlements in the West Bank), and on projects that hurt the environment in the middle of a climate crisis
🚨 BC Greens leader Emily Lowan wants British Columbia to adopt a Proportional Representation system with regional ridings where MLAs would be elected based on % of support their party receives in their regional riding 🗳️
What are your thoughts on this idea?
🚨 The world’s 10 strongest democracies (according to The Economist’s Democracy Index) all elect their representatives through Proportional Representation
If we want to improve our democracy here in Canada, we NEED Proportional Representation!

The BC Greens are proud to announce Emily Lowan as our new Party Leader!
An organizer, advocate, and strategist, Emily has spent over a decade fighting for climate justice, Indigenous solidarity, and democratic renewal.
BREAKING 🚨 The University of Waterloo will not renew its partnership with the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, following a referendum in 2024 in which 83.9% of participating undergraduates voted in favor of ending the collaboration.
Mark Carney isn’t “rewarding Hamas” by recognizing the state of Palestine, he is rewarding the millions of innocent Palestinians who are dealing with an illegal occupation and genocide by the Israeli government and who simply want peace, freedom & self-determination
According to Éric Grenier’s chart, 68% for Marit Stiles is supposedly the lowest leadership review result since the 2000s for an NDP leader who has received over 50% of the vote
BREAKING 🚨 International students enrolled at a private college have alleged that they were compelled by the institution to campaign for the Conservatives in 2024
Poilievre needs to be clear to Canadians: does he condemn what happened, or not?
🚨 Trump falsely calls Mamdani a “communist” while highlighting a flaw in the current FPTP voting system by urging candidates to drop out to prevent vote-splitting
Very interesting. Seems like a good amount of Americans support Proportional Representation
Most voters also say that single-member districts are unfair to the minority party in deep red/blue states. We asked if voters would support a system that allocated House seats by party proportional to the share of the vote they win statewide, and 46% said yes (27% no).
The federal government has again raised the prospect of expanding the parliament. In today's post I take a look at how long redistributions take, and how they take longer now than they did in 1984, so if they want to move on parliamentary expansion they need to do it asap.
The NDP needs to pressure the Carney government to implement a Proportional Representation system for the next federal election (which can include a ranked ballot too, such as Jenkins-Baaj MMP or the Single Transferable Vote)
Then he’ll likely cry that they’re splitting the vote lol
If Tom Suozzi wants the USA to have a multi-party system, he should support the Fair Representation Act (which would implement STV) & advocate for Proportional Representation
Last night at the townhall with May, someone asked why we've had trouble attracting youth to the Party. Hear from Young Green Sami Baaj @politics-with-sami.bsky.social about voting "No" in the leadership review.

Reform UK is currently projected to win 370 seats with just 32.7% of the popular vote
The UK needs to implement a #ProportionalRepresentation system
The fossil fuel lobby doesn’t just influence politics, it recruits it. MPs and senior advisers leave Parliament and walk straight into oil and gas boardrooms and lobby groups. That’s how industry keeps writing the rules as Australia faces the climate crisis.
An economy in which Qantas posts a $1.6 billion profit while families struggle to afford childcare and workers can’t put food on the table isn’t something to be proud of.
Tax the big corporations!
