- That’s the real danger to kids these days. As we all know, watching inappropriate videos has killed far more children than school shootings ever could. /s #uspoli

- I just got a really funny idea to win the trade war
- I have a feeling the point isn’t to make all porn illegal, but instead to *treat* all porn in the *same way*. That’s speculation of course. I mean, it’s the Republican Party! Don’t they care about keeping kids safe? Eh?
- Well done Labour Anyone who thought you represented real change now despises you. Anyone who didn’t, still won’t. People who weren’t that convinced but hoped for the best are out of patience. You’ve managed to turn off everyone. Quite the achievement!
- If you didn't already "despise" Labour weeks ago, you aren't a real progressive.
- Why was Starmer's transphobia more acceptable with the "progressive" crowd than his racist rhetoric? I've seen several people on this platform say that this was the "last straw". Why did they still think he could be trusted? People who call out racism but stay silent on transphobia are not allies.
- "It's not bribery unless both parties declare that it's a bribe"
- IMO, crossing the floor and swapping parties after being elected should require a by-election. #cdnpoli
- Keir Starmer isn't just wrong - he's stupid. You don't win back the progressive vote by pandering to bigotry. Also, don't pander to bigotry! What are we doing here? Greens and Liberal Democrats remain the only viable votes for the UK.

- I don’t think that NDPers will get in the way of the Liberals doing what needs to be done to protect Canada, though. They’ve made it pretty clear that protecting national interests is a top priority.

- If you're looking for MPs without principles who'll betray their party for a cabinet position, look to the Bloc. Minority governments work better than majorities anyway. What's wrong with compromise?
- People have been sending me messages asking me to run for the leadership of the NDP. I have served 21 years in Parliament. It was a great honour. But our nation is facing unprecedented threat. My focus is Canada and building resistance to the rise of anti-democratic/fascist forces. #elbowsup
- Do you think you’d consider it after Trump is gone?
- Happy Mother’s Day to my mom! ❤️ Love you Mama
- Every vote counts!
- They will discourage vaccination and autism diagnoses. Then they will point to a graph in which vaccination rates and autism diagnoses overlap, furthering vaccine skepticism.
- Danielle Smith is a sellout to Big Oil, a liar to her constituents, and a traitor to Canada. Alberta has no right to separate. If Albertans hate Canada, they can leave Canada. They can’t bring the land with them. Danielle Smith must resign. #cdnpoli

- Pierre Poilievre moment
- "It's different when we do it because I said so"
- You guys just don’t get it
- Just designed a new form of democracy, will need a few weeks to finalize it and make sure it actually works as well as I think it would
- My dad always told me if something’s too good to be true, it probably is, so making sure this system would actually work is pretty important. I mean, it’s not important, it’s a 16 year old’s manifesto on how to make a more stable society, but point still stands.
- *tells "told" sounds vaguely depressing

- Bluesky moment
- First-past-the-post is an existential threat to democracy. #cdnpoli
- Labour could quite literally just change the rules to make an extremist party with 29% of the vote unable to win a landslide majority, and they choose not to.
- I’m pretty sure it would work almost perfectly, how has nobody come up with this?
- Funniest draft-dodging method of all time just dropped
- The Supreme Court said the Trump administration can begin immediately enforcing a ban on transgender service members in the military. Read more: cnn.it/4m9fdx6
- This account is really what bluesky needed, it actually feels like a community instead of just an anti-Trump collective.
- Mr. Carney did incredibly well. He was confident, not too confrontational but firm and unshakable. He showed strength without aggression and wit without pompousness. I’m a New Democrat - but I’m proud that we elected a competent leader.
- Did he steal Poilievre’s glasses

- Why did you call Aaron Gunn “centre-right”?
- Canada elected the right man to deal with Mr. Trump.

- Trudeau can teach him theatre
- Lmfao
- Reporter: How did you decide to reopen Alcatraz? Trump: I was supposed to be a movie maker… Nobody ever escaped. One person almost got there but they found his clothing rather badly ripped up, a lot of shark bites…
- omg he really did just watch the movie
- An old man - 70, 78, 85 year old man - doesn't need 37 billion dollars. He could be very happy with 1 billion dollars. Or 500 million dollars. Or 100 million dollars.
- I mean, holy shit! 100 million dollars would set you up for a life in absolute luxury in a nice house in a good neighborhood with a butler, a maid and a cook, a high-end car, all the money you'd need for hobbies and yearly first-class vacations. Why the hell would you need more?
- And they say that socialized healthcare is a burden on the taxpayer…
- The only reason anyone can defend the broken FPTP voting system is because of strong local representation. Allowing Mr. Poilievre to run in a riding he has no attachments to while kicking out its actual elected representative is ridiculous. Can we stop pretending this isn’t just about power?
- Poor Bruce Fanjoy did all that work just for Poilievre to move to Alberta
- Fourteen years ago today, history was made when the New Democratic Party became the Official Opposition of Canada. Jack Layton, years after his death, continues to inspire us to take the next step. For now, we need to rebuild. The NDP is in a rough patch. It is time to figure out who we are.

View full threadTo acheive social democracy, should we declare ourselves true socialists, aiming to shift the centrist Liberal Party towards the centre-left? Should we make an effort to dethrone them and take the progressive vote for ourselves? Can we form government? What do we have to lose to do it?
- If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. We know our enemies well. It is time we know ourselves.
- I am a social democrat. That means I believe in the hierarchical capitalist structure with strong social safety nets such as universal pharmacare, high wages and big pensions. A four-day workweek. Experiment with UBI. Affordable university.
- If Mr. Carney is proud of the "strong democracy" we have here in Canada, he should commit to strengthening it with electoral reform, instead of relying on strategic voting to win elections.

- If only we could have got more Liberals to vote. 608 votes are what stopped a 172 seat Liberal Majority Government. 608 votes.. - NDP won in Nunavut by 77 votes. - CPC won another riding by 238 votes. - CPC won another riding by 298 votes. #cdnpoli
- Minority governments are better than majority governments.

- Dude. Are you kidding? Why the hell are you suing a 16 year old? @RealAlbanianPat on Twitter pointed out inconsistencies in your polling firm, Cardinal Research. His callouts were completely valid. What is wrong with you? Debunk him if he’s wrong, address him if he’s right. Why are you suing him?

- My ideal ttrpg is literally just D&D but you can wield a pistol in one hand and a rapier in the other and it’s an effective and viable build
- Tommy Douglas went down in history as the father of Medicare. @jagmeetsingh.ca will do the same as the father of Dental Care. Despite everything and everyone that stood in his way, Mr. Singh has done more for this country than was ever expected. Thank you, Jagmeet Singh. I’m proud to be #NDP!
