Today I wrapped up my affairs in Ottawa - parliamentary office closed down and secondary residence emptied. A farewell, not necessarily a goodbye. It’s a weird feeling to be back here without a job to return to, but I’ve really enjoyed reuniting with old colleagues and staff.

Congratulations to @donvdavies.bsky.social on being named as interim leader of the @ndp.ca. There’s a lot of rebuilding to do in the weeks and months ahead, but I know Don has the capabilities and experience to get our party on that path.

The strange part about going out into your community after an election loss is that it feels a bit like consoling people at your own funeral.

An early morning hike up Maple Mountain clears the head wonderfully! Now it’s time to head down and into the chaos of E-Day. Let’s do this!

With 2 weeks down and 3 weeks to go, I wanted to take a pause from a rainy day on the campaign trail to say thank you to everyone who is making this local campaign in Cowichan-Malahat-Langford a success.

And it’s now official: my name will be on the ballot for our federal election here in Cowichan-Malahat-Langford. I visited Elections Canada’s office in Langford today to hand in my papers to the Returning Officer - now it’s back to knocking on doors!

Today, CSIS confirmed India interfered with Poilievre's leadership race.   But Poilievre refuses to get his security clearance, so CSIS can’t share detailed intel with him.   Poilievre refuses to protect the integrity of his own party & refuses to protect our democracy.    1/2

A rainy day in Cowichan Bay! But we’re not made out of sugar, so onward to each door we go. I’m so lucky to be out again and with a different volunteer today - our volunteers make all the difference and are what makes up our strong ground game here in Cowichan-Malahat-Langford.

The Conservatives will miss the carbon tax the most. Now there’s no cover for them to hide from the massive corporate profits that the oil and gas sector makes every year, hoovering that straight from Canadians’ hard-earned money.

The convoy crew held the people of Ottawa hostage and tried to divide people with rage politics. No wonder they are freaked out by Canadian solidarity and goodwill. They promote bitterness. We stand for a better nation. #elbowsup my friends Canada is strong.

This is not surprising. The Conservatives missed 11 of 13 meetings during the Health Committee's tour across Canada to study the toxic drug crisis. They can make time for a press conference, but don't show up to do the hard work. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I agree that Pierre Poilievre needs to get security clearance. Every Leader should. It’s sketchy that he hasn’t. But it’s disappointing that Mark Carney apparently has time to get his security clearance but not disclose his corporate interests.

As a member of the #SECU Committee, it was a great opportunity to visit CBSA operations at both the Peace Arch and Pacific border crossings with the U.S. It was nice to meet with professional and informed local CBSA leadership to talk about what’s really happening at the border.

Here's a fact most Americans don't know: The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world. The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits. We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

So Justin Trudeau has finally entered his "Charlie Angus phase" in standing up to the predator from Mar-a-Lago. The fact is, Justin wears a suit way better than me. But I opened for the Dead Kennedy's and the Violent Femmes. If he wants lessons in fighting Trump, I'll take him under my wing.

Bootlicker for billionaires. Why don't you tell Canadians what you were up to a week ago, Pierre? A closed-door fundraiser in a $17-million mansion. Which CEOs did you meet, what did you promise to cut in exchange for their cheques? Health care? Dental care?
A news headline from the outlet, The Breach. The headline reads: Pierre Poilievre is cozying up to Canada's far-right broligarchs.

When Harper needed someone to defend secret cheques to dodgy senators or corporate interference in the PMO he called on Pierre Poilievre. His own colleagues called him "Skippy" because they didn't respect him. He hasn't matured one iota since his days as attack dog. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpHV...

By day he fights for cuts to health care and pensions.  By night he’s handed cash and cheques at a party in a $17 million mansion. Pierre Poilievre is a billionaire bootlicker.
Graphic reads "An evening with Pierre Poilievre in support of the Conservative Party of Canada. Date: December 17th, 2024. Time: 6:00pm. Location Private Residence, Toronto, ON M5P 2S7. Ticket price: $1725. Let's bring it home."
