@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caFeeling good that @… (red jacket) and my MP Gord Johns (orange tie) are right there behind @….
This is a good speech. Including parts in French delivered with confidence and passion.
There are so many quotes I have wanted to share as he spoke but couldn’t pick one!
How about:
“When Israel commits a genocide in Gaza.”
Yes!
“An economy for the many, not the money”

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caOn a positive note. It is nice to see a diversity of women continuing to be a strong part of the Liberal Party caucus of MPs.
All three MPs elected in the by-elections on Monday were women, two POC including Doly Begum who was previously an Ontario NDP MPP and deputy leader of that party.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caGood to see the NDP in second with 18.9% of the vote in one of the by-elections last night.
The polarization between the Bloc and Liberals in Terrebonne is pretty stunning but at least there was a clear winner this time! The CPC got just 3% and the other three barely added up to 1% there!
The Toronto ridings were at least a little more spread out, but both remain solid Liberal seats with more than 60% of the vote.
I don’t like how the Liberals gained their majority, a first in Canadian history… but that’s the hand we are dealt. Time to work at it.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caOh CBC, your Liberal is showing… on the panel before talking to @… the dismissive tone and hand wringing began in earnest (especially the Toronto Star guy who seems to love the word “royalty”).
Both provincial NDP opposition leaders in Alberta and Saskatchewan have expressed concern on Lewis’s win… but they didn’t mention that Wab Kinew, NDP Premier of Manitoba, and the most popular Premier in the country, was right there on stage.
Canadian politics just got very interesting indeed!

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caOh wow, two days after his son wins the leadership of the #NDP, Avi Lewis' father, former Ontario NDP leader, and global activist passes away.
Condolences to @….
The Stephen Lewis Foundation has done many amazing things for people all over the world and it will continue.
I hope Avi is able to carry on some of his dad's work.
