Canadian politics. I wanted to be a vexillologist when I grew up. Became a Staffer instead. Favourite X account of the Governor General's Office.

Going to dial up the difficulty a bit with this #FlagOfTheDay. The only hint I'll give is the shape. No cheating...

This is an endorsement! Thanks @ItsDeanBlundell. Thank God Markham is big enough for me not to have ever run into you.

@LionelForCanada As a Markham resident, I've never heard of you. LOL. Now I have. So, you're on my list of people who will never win a seat to govern Canadians.

The Faroe Islands is correct. Lots of correct guesses on this one. It's looks great flying too. https://t.co/6nB77ajSfW

Today's #FlagOfTheDay has a familiar cross, but not the familiar colours. Can anyone guess it? No cheating!

Completely agree with Darshan here. Have a read of the article he references. I don't agree with everything it says, but it makes a ton of great points worthy of reflection.

After MANY long years, I have read something so scintillating. If you read only one thing THIS MONTH, make it this intellectually stimulating article that is full of spot-on assessment of Canada and excellent guidance for future action. https://t.co/yBM1BlygpI

Who is in favour of a law requiring a by-election before crossing the floor?

This is Michael Ma's most notable role in Parliament. Looks like 🇨🇳 got another one.

Methinks he will hear from constituents, indeed. But I imagine he cancels that event before that happens.

This is actually a bit of a pet peeve of mine. The whole "MP's must represent everyone" line. MP's can't represent all constituents in any vote. Name an issue all people agree on. Even if ALL parties vote the same way in the House there are always some constits unhappy. But

@MCoyne72 @HoCStaffer Pretty sure elected officials are supposed to represent all their constituents, regardless of party affiliation.

Wake up Canada. A majority by floor crossing in circumstances where PRC is recognized to have favoured Carney will be absolutely unacceptable. Look at the MP that crossed, and his Markham riding. Look what happened to Joseph Tay. This can’t stand. Action is needed.

Michael Ma was at the CPC Xmas party last night. The LPC one tonight. A man of strong principle.

Carney brought Michael Ma on stage at the Liberal Christmas party tonight, where he got a standing O Huge vibe shift from last year's party — held 2 days after Chrystia Freeland quit Cabinet, where her photo line rivaled PMJT's - and outlasted his by an hour too!

Markham–Unionville is a diverse riding w/ Conservative values. As MP, I heard clearly from residents fed up w/ Liberal corruption, high taxes & rising crime. All of which have gotten worse. If Ma wanted to join Carney, he should have resigned first & faced voters in a byelection.

Michael Ma was elected as a Conservative by the constituents of Markham-Unionville to fight against Liberal inflationary spending driving up the cost of living in his community. Today, he chose to endorse the very policies he was elected to oppose. The same policies driving up
