The economy, housing, pipelines: Not all claims in the federal election campaign were true https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/election-2025-fact-check-wrap-up-1.7519218 CBC by Elizabeth Thompson - #factchecking of the #english and #french debates - check all leaders assertions and errors- Then you decide- #cdnpoli #Election2025 #CDNelection2025
Tensions with N.S. premier simmered as Poilievre made his sole stop in the province https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/houston-poilievre-election-1.7518196 CBC by Kate McKenna and Michael Gorman - Interesting how two Conservative Premiers #dougford and #TimHouston don't get along with #PierrPoilievre - the Federal Conservative leader #cdnpoli #CDNelection2025 #Election2025
2/Trump reinserts himself into Canadian politics, saying 'as a state, it works great'https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-canada-politics-1.7516951 CBC by Verity Stevenson - Remember when I posted the above story 4 days ago? I was worried that people might start to think voting for #PierrPoilievre would be safe because #Trump isn't really serious about annexing #Canada #cdnpoli #uspoli #Election2025 #CDNelection2025
2/ ok so 4 days ago I posted on "Trump is demanding universities change policies or face defunding. Would Poilievre do the same?" from CBC - in that I mentioned you won't find the word "woke" on their website nor in their "Policy Declaration". This is still true it is only available in their "costed" platform released yesterday. Just like #trump it attacks funding for government and universities related to anything "woke" -whatever he wants- #cdnpoli #CDNelection2025 #Election2025

@tod This is an awesome review of the "Notwitstanding Clause" and something everyone of all political stripes should watch. Well done sir. #CDNelection2025 #cdnpoli #notwithstandingclause We must reduce the overuse of this political tool and it should never ever be used by the federal government. That's what the emergencies act is for (the federal government).
@gemelliz He definitely won't get a security clearance why would concede the point now? Despite the ignorance and wilful arrogance that potentially puts the election and he party in peril. #CDNelection2025

“Mark Carney was made for this moment

I watched both Trudeau and Poilievre's speach regarding the MAGA attack on Canada.
Trudeau gave an elegant speach that I'm proud has travelled the world. He mentioned the Mex Pres in french, and Team Canada in english.
Boy Poilievre needed notes and his list of weak responses included pandering disinformation. It was a speach unbecoming of the moment and Canadians.
Trudeau is the goods on this shelf, Boy Pierre is the empty space.
@gemelliz and that's another reason I don't trust "polls". We will see what educated people think after the polls close in October 2025

It would be difficult to imagine either Lib or NDP candidates dropping out to help other candidate.
However the electorate could vote strategically.
"'Ultimate threat': French centrists, leftists drop out of 200 races to block far right path to power"
#CdnElection2025 #CdnPol
This strategy might be useful for the next Canadian federal election in 2025.
"French parties unite to keep far-right from power, but is it too little, too late?"
