A PSA to all the unilinguals who don’t have a first-hand experience of this: It’s not because you speak a second language really well, even passing for a native speaker, that you’re as comfortable in it than you are in your mother tongue.

Still lots of wind in Albert Bridge, Cape Breton this morning. We can't wait for it to stop so there is no more damage to the house. Such a stressful night.

La semaine dernière, c’était des pancartes. Cette semaine, c’est des roches. Qu’est-ce que ce sera la semaine prochaine? Si vous n’étiez pas déjà inquiets, vous devriez peut-être commencer à l’être. #elxn44 #polcan

Remarque personnelle: C'est la 1e fois depuis que j'ai l'âge de voter que j'écoute un #debatdeschefs fédéral où tous les chefs parlent un français réellement compréhensible. Quel bonheur d'écouter les idées plutôt que de jouer aux décrypteurs. #elxn44 #polcan

There are huge fires in BC, growing numbers of children in unmarked graves in govt and church-run residential schools and a humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. Today’s election issue- vaccines for fed workers? Out of touch politics.

I find the best way to gain the support of Maritimers is to block millions of dollars in seafood from leaving a province.

To be fair, I shouldn't be suprised that something Trans was blocked by a Conservative.

A family of 5 in London, ON were deliberately struck by a motorist just for being Muslim, 4 have died. Don’t tell us #Islamophobia doesn’t exist in Canada. Don’t tell us racism doesn’t exist in Canada. Don’t tell us that the hate we feel every day for just existing isn’t real.

À propos de rien du tout: As a white francophone, I would kindly ask of white anglophones that they don't instrumentalize my people's history to dismiss or minimize #Black, #Indigenous, and people of colour's historical and contemporary experience in Canada. #BIPOC #cdnpoli

Since 2016, the Tribunal has issued 19 non-compliance & procedural orders v Canada. On June 14-18, 2021 the federal court will hear Canada argue that it does not owe compensation to the kids it hurt and those that died. Feds also arguing about Jordan’s Principle again.
