Fellow conservatives: If you're wondering why people perceive us as angry and unlikable, the partisan replies to this pretty innocuous tweet should answer that for you. Seriously - we don't need to be breathless about everything. #cdnpoli

Hey parents! If your kids are stuck on a homework question, feel free to pass this message along. Because as a teacher, I want to help out. Let me know what the difficult question is by replying to this tweet or using the hashtag #CanadaHomeworkHelp - and I’ll see what I can do.

Needs to be said: the fact you cannot dine in a restaurant for another 3+ months, when 2/3+ of the population is vaccinated, is completely arbitrary. A nail in the coffin for restos without patios - with no evidence they're the source of spread. Brutal.

"We need to ensure universal access remains paramount." That's a direct quote from O'Toole. It was cut from the edited clip. Strikes me that the thoughtful, detailed platform put out by the CPC has the other side spooked, apparently to the point they're being actively dishonest.

This is the first time I’ve ever watched #USOpenFinals or tennis, really. But you better believe I am adopting @Bandreescu_ ‘s signature “COME ON!!!” cry whenever I make a salient point at a staff meeting. Sorry in advance, @SummaStrategies .

Had my first Stars and Strollers experience @CineplexMovies today (to see @lastchristmas ). Really enjoyable. Quieter movie and dim lights were helpful, extra supplies like diapers and wipes on hand and can’t beat the $10 price point. J is still smiling about it now.

The message for @OntarioPCParty members to take away from today’s circus is a clear one: while other candidates (agree with them or not) are in the race to better the Party, Patrick Brown is using it to better himself. Is this the attitude and action we want in a leader? #Onpoli

Important to remember: Jane Philpott was *just* appointed to a top-tier cabinet post 6 weeks ago. Speaks to Trudeau PMO's confidence in her. The "sour grapes", "difficult to work with" excuses many Liberals have peddled with Jody Wilson-Raybould won't fly with Philpott. #cdnpoli

Raw #COVID19 case numbers should be provided / reported on only alongside the following data points: ➡️ # of tests completed ➡️ positivity rate ➡️ # of hospitalizations ➡️ information on source of outbreaks This context matters to justify closures. #onpoli

👀 the shift in Atlantic Canada and British Columbia toward @CPC_HQ is remarkable. It happened quickly. I'm not sure how the Liberals get it back, particularly on the east coast with a relentless carbon tax that will only stretch people further as time ticks on. #cdnpoli

The entire province is now in Stage 3 and we're reporting less than three dozen cases. This is a huge accomplishment. It's also a reminder that it is possible to keep cases low, while still having a sense of normalcy and continued economic activity. #onpoli

Ontario is reporting 33 cases of #COVID19 , a 0.1% increase. This includes routine data clean-up by Toronto Public Health, which removed 21 cases, such as duplicates, that had previously been included in daily case counts. Yesterday, the province processed over 21,500 tests.

The shitty reaction of judgement to this video is a reminder of the double standard that exists for women in politics. Video of a young man dancing/dabbing/celebrating would be judged differently. Everyone was young once, & some young ppl EVEN become politicians. Get over it.

FACT CHECK: There is no commitment in McKenney's transportation plan or fiscal plan to fix roads. In fact, they say the city will spend less on road repair - but they're unable to estimate how much, because they don't know how many people would use their $250M bike lanes #ottcity

It’s one thing to opine and speculate on #elxn43 on Twitter where there’s little consequence. It’s another to dedicate your life and career to the political cause. There’s more losers than winners at the end of E-Night, so to that end, sincere respect to #cdnpoli campaigners 🙏🏻

Began the decade with the unexpected loss of a great John (my Dad). Very fortunate to enter the next decade with an equally great one (my son). Work accomplishments and travel were highlights, but I'll remember the 2010s mainly for love, marriage and baby carriage. And Brick.

Mona Fortier is a very understandable promotion for cabinet. Has worked very hard. It’s genuinely too bad that her elevation to the Ministry has been cheapened by a nonsense vanity portfolio that no one (including the government) can define. She’s not to blame for that. #cdnpoli

Let’s be honest about how City Hall has worked for the last 2 terms: the Mayor & suburban councillors are one block. Urban centre councillors another. Watson uses the suburb block to do whatever he likes. Downtown councillors & residents lose out. #ottcity

It makes sense to conduct a review that's based on facts and evidence - not emotion. Clearly, what has been in place has not worked, as gang / gun violence is up. So, let's focus on what will. #cdnpoli

So the Bloc Quebecois is getting back together, the Liberals are breaking up, and the NDP relationship status is best summarized as "It's Complicated." I feel like I am watching the #cdnpoli version of Bachelor in Paradise, but more nerdy and with more clothing involved.
