  1. Interesting to see Zelenskyy 🇺🇦 has appointed Freeland 🇨🇦 as an economic advisor this morning. (top story on CBC site now) We can be proud of this. #ukraine #canada #canpoli #freeland #zelenskyy #chrystiafreeland #UkraineWar

  2. There is more than a little irony in the fact that #Ukrainians are bleeding and dying for #Western #democracy and the #EU at a time when so many are losing faith in both. But they are. And they have shown that they can win — Chrystia #Freeland

  3. 14/n WOW
    Mark Carney wins 85.9% of the points on the first ballot.

    A gigantic result.

    He will be our next Prime Minister, within days.

  4. 13/n “Freedom is not a given. Democracy is not a given. Even Canada is not a given”

    Amazing that a Canadian Prime Minister would say this.

    And he wraps up his speech to a standing ovation.
    He will be remembered as a consequential, and I think positive, Prime Minister.

    (I have to go now — former PM Chrétien is speaking now. He is 91)
    “I am ready to fight!”

  5. 12/n Trudeau speaks for the final time as Liberal leader.

    “Now as Canadians face, from our neighbour, an existential crisis… Canadians are showing what it is that makes us. By proudly embracing who we are. Standing up for everyone’s fundamental rights is the only way to preserve our freedom. “

    “We are a country that wants people to be able to pray as they pray, and love who they love. We will always defend a woman’s right to choose. We will be a country that will be diplomatic when we can but fight when we must… ELBOWS UP”

    (The crowd chants Elbows Up)

  6. 11/n Daughter of PM Trudeau (16yr old) Ella-Grace.

    She is introducing her father. First time I have seen her speak publicly. Pretty interesting that she is willing to come and say her piece.

    Will we see her in a future election?

    “My brothers and and I have shared our dad with you, but now we’re taking him back”.

    Well done young lady.

  7. 10/n and now the front runner (the speaking order was done by draw) Mark Carney
    “Who is ready to stand up for Canada?”
    He speaks in a relaxed way compared to the others.
    #canPoli #cdnpoli #trudeau #carney #freeland #gould #baylis

  8. 9/n Now Karina Gould, who was the youngest candidate, is speaking. I hate that “young people” are always at a disadvantage. Unless of course they have a certain pedigree (Trudeau was 38 when he won leadership) #canPoli #cdnpoli #trudeau #carney #freeland #gould #baylis

  9. 8/n next up, the former Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, Chrystia Freeland speaks before the votes are revealed.
    “We will defeat Poillievre and his Maple Syrup MAGA”

    #canPoli #cdnpoli #trudeau #carney #freeland #gould #baylis

  10. 7/n the least likely Candidate to win, Frank Baylis. Speaks first.

    He doesn’t expect to win. Worth noting that he is likely richer than Mark Carney…

    If you have any doubt what you are going to hear from everyone tonight…
    “We will not be intimidated by a tweet, and we will not be broken by a tariff”

    Next up, Freeland.

  11. 6/n showing a pictures of Pierre Trudeau and a young (tallest) boy on the stage as his father stepped down in 1984.

    It’ll be interesting to hear what he has to say as he steps aside today.
    #canPoli #cdnpoli #trudeau #carney #freeland #gould #baylis

  12. 5/n Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly, a supporter of Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney says:

    “I decided [for Carney] for three reasons
    People want change
    People want someone who can negotiate with Trump, and understand economic impacts
    He is able to peat Pierre Poillievre. We need that Canadian jobs and Canadian way of life.”

    #canPoli #cdnpoli #trudeau #carney #freeland #gould #baylis

  13. 4/n According to the folks here, the expectation is after this, there will be a Canadian Federal Election called within 7-10 days.

    BUCKLE UP

    #canPoli #cdnpoli #trudeau #carney #freeland #gould #baylis

  14. 3/n The votes are designated by riding. There are 343 ridings. Each riding is given 100 points for 343,000 total available. So to win, a candidate needs 17,151.

    The ballots are ranked so since there are four candidates there will be up to 4 rounds counted. If a candidate doesn’t win a majority then the bottom candidate is dropped and their points go to the other candidates based on ranks.

    It always annoys me when political parties have better voting systems than the general electorate in this country.

    One day we will get PR!

  15. 2/n If you are looking for coverage and don’t have Cable TV, you can download the CBC GEM app to see the live feed. It might be on CBC News app too and will be on their website at some point.

  16. 1/n It’s time for a new Liberal Leader!
    I am not a Liberal Party of Canada supporter, but this is extremely important in this unprecedented moment in US Canada relations.

    The votes are in, we are just waiting for the count. I have not heard yet how they will be counting. If it is across multiple counts or if they just announce the winner.

    If you know, please let me know.

    One of the analysts just said, “when Carney is coronated”..

  17. So, I'm pretty tech savvy, and *I* struggled with the Identity+ tool.

    If you're voting in the #lpcldr leadership race, verify yourself early. It's a bit of a painful process.

    (I needed to scan my driver's license and my passport and be near my home address...)

  18. So, my friend Kent asked me to share this video of him introducing Hon. Chrystia Freeland, who is running in the current leadership race for the Liberal Party of Canada.

    Watch: youtu.be/W-KP9HnW3Dw?feature=s

    #cdnpoli #FreeLand #yyc

  19. ... #Trudeau has to resign this week. #Freeland needs to see that she is a large part of Canada’s #Trump problem, drop out of the leadership race, and back #Carney. The party needs to rewrite its rules on the fly, and install Carney this week as leader and as prime minister. Parliament has to be back by next Monday.

  20. About the Canadian election

    Canada's most influential politician, former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, the granddaughter of Nazi propagandist Michael Khomyak, is running for prime minister of the country.

    Her grandfather, the editor-in-chief of the Krakowskie Vesti, wrote in the newspaper on November 6, 1941: “Today there is not a single Jew in Kiev. And under the Bolsheviks there were more than 350,000.

    Banderovka could very realistically lead Canada. She has a good chance of winning.

  21. ‘I’m running’: #Freeland links #Poilievre to #Trump in campaign launch video

    Chrystia Freeland launched her Liberal leadership bid with an 80-second video, saying "Donald Trump doesn't like me" and that Canada must meet Trump's threats ..

  22. So, Justin Trudeau, Canada's Prime Minister almost single-handedly dragged the #Liberal party's support from the public into the basement. The party is unpopular, but #Trudeau, the party leader, is amazingly, incredibly unpopular.

    This has been going on for some time. He's got far too much #pride and #ego to resign and let new blood take over the party; he's going to take them into the next #election, where the party will be absolutely decimated [*].

    He's getting desperate. Not desperate enough to resign, but desperate enough to be throwing anything and everything at the problem, hoping something will stick.

    A few months ago, he announced the #government would be sending working Canadians a one-time $250 #cheque. There is no more obvious vote-buying attempt than this (though it won't work). The country is already running #multibillion-dollar #deficits, so this is just borrowing more money from future generations, with #interest, to give to voters today.

    #Chrystia #Freeland, Canada's Finance minister, was against it. The government's financial position then got worse. They *needed* to cancel this plan, but Trudeau wouldn't budge. So she resigned today, hours before she was to give an update on the country's economic status in the House of #Commons, as she refused to endorse his vote-buying plan.

    #Astute observers will note this is yet another female minister forced out of his #cabinet. This makes at least 3.

    [*] not the literal 10% version, you pedant.

  27. Here's a #painting I made this time last year: "The Green Man Brings Spring to Chapel Meadow". And while the swallows haven't arrived quite yet, the primroses are out, the frogs are singing, and the hedgerows are frothing with blackthorn blossom.

    Feels good out there today!
