Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

I just trolled around the four English party websites.
I will avoid completing their address so one doesn’t get previewed but here they are fyi:

Conservative. Ca
Liberal. Ca
NDP. Ca
Green Party.Ca

Interesting differences.

The #cpc have no candidates listed. Only messages from Dear Leader, and it’s sparse. Mostly just his transcribed words. The ironic part is I have seen door hangers for the CPC candidate in my riding, but no idea what his name is. If it is anything like the provincial election, I expect MASSIVE CPC signage in my riding. It didn’t work provincially… we’ll see what happens now.

The #LPC have many candidates listed and ready, lots of content. No one mentioned for my riding. (They are not generally a contender)

The #NDP has almost all candidates listed but ironically, not mine even though I just received a sign, but the site is ready with similarly lots of content.

The #GPC has only a handful of candidates, but our local candidate @chrismarkevich is listed.

With such an incredibly short campaign there will not be much time for parties to fill out the details. No doubt everyone will be hyper focused on GOTV efforts. Advance voting will begin in just a couple weeks!

Edit: just counted candidates on each page.
CPC: 0
LPC: 185
NDP: 111
GPC: 80
There are 343 ridings.

I’m mostly white. Paige is in the screenshot from the conservative party website. The menu shows the team. Paul have shadow cabinet MPs in national council along with general links. Nothing about candidates.
A screenshot from the liberal webpage shows a full listing of manual links, including candidates. All in a red on white theme.
A screenshot from the NDP shows it’s menu exposed on the right hand side with links to get to the candidates as well as other stuff. On the left, the homepage content shows through with a picture of Jagmeet Singh smiling on an orange background.
A screenshot from the green party page shows a simple for item menu, including candidates. On a solid green background.

I wouldn’t trust his judgment. He was spewing Russian propaganda recently:

"In an interview last month on CBC Radio's The House discussing the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Pedneault questioned whether Canada should continue to supply the country with offensive weapons."

What does left mean to you? (Honest question) I just looked up the #GPC platform and prominent items are: biggest investment in social housing since the 70s, tax the ultra-rich and corporations, expand universal health care to include medicines, mental health, etc., and disability justice, are some that jumped out.

[Disclaimer: I ran for the GPC in 2008 and the BCGP in 2009.]

The Green Party of Canada Calls for Urgent Action as Trump Threatens Canada’s Sovereignty and Economy dlvr.it/THvQqY @cdnpoli #CanadianGreens #GPC #cdnpoli

Green Party of CanadaThe Green Party of Canada Calls for Urgent Action as Trump Threatens Canada’s Sovereignty and EconomyOTTAWA – During a Super Bowl preshow interview on Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump once again declared that he is serious about wanting Canada to become the 51st U.S. state. This, alongside his renewed promise of 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, represents a direct threat to Canada’s sovereignty and economic stability. "Canadians need to wake up to the extraordinary threat we face," said Jonathan Pedneault, Co-Leader of the Green Party of Canada. "Donald Trump’s words are not just political bluster—they signal a deep and dangerous hostility towards Canadian sovereignty and economic independence. We cannot afford to wait and see what happens. The time for action is now." The Green Party has been sounding the alarm for some time, warning that Canada must diversify its economic and security partnerships to reduce dependence on the United States. Unfortunately, while Pierre Poilievre downplays the risks, and the Liberal government remains slow to act, Canada’s position only grows more vulnerable.

Green Party of Canada Condemns $20 Billion Public Loan for TMX dlvr.it/THjDx3 @cdnpoli #CanadianGreens #GPC #cdnpoli

Green Party of CanadaGreen Party of Canada Condemns $20 Billion Public Loan for TMXOTTAWA – The Green Party of Canada is calling out the Liberal government for quietly approving yet another $20 billion loan for the Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) pipeline, breaking their promise not to provide further public funding for the project. This latest subsidy, which was only made public on January 30 despite being dated December 13, brings the total amount of taxpayer money funneled into TMX to a staggering $50 billion. "This is an appalling betrayal of the public trust," said Leader Elizabeth May. "The Liberals explicitly promised that no more public funds would go to TMX. Instead, they are forcing Canadians to foot the bill for a failing project that threatens our climate, our environment, and our economy." The Green Party is also drawing attention to the wider pattern of government support for the fossil fuel industry, with the federal government providing a total of $28.5 billion in financial support to oil and gas in 2024 alone—despite Canada's international commitments to phase out fossil fuel subsidies.

Greens Call on the Federal Fisheries Ministry to Act on Shipbreaking in Union Bay dlvr.it/TGkYF9 @cdnpoli #CanadianGreens #GPC #cdnpoli

Green Party of CanadaGreens Call on the Federal Fisheries Ministry to Act on Shipbreaking in Union BayOTTAWA - The Concerned Citizens of Baynes Sound (CCOBS) have retained legal assistance through West Coast Environmental Law, in order to assess whether federal laws have been broken by the activities of Deep Water Recovery, the company responsible for ship-breaking operations in Union Bay. According to their statement, this site was never properly environmentally assessed and authorized for this activity. Ship breaking operations have continued without required authorizations. Shipbreaking requires appropriate safeguards and port /dry dock containment given the inherent hazards involved. The site must also be properly cleaned up and maintained. This includes cleaning up of soil and the marine environment; implementing solutions to prevent further pollution from unlined sumps and other infrastructure, and long-term monitoring to show that the ecosystem has recovered.

Green Party Supports Teamsters, Asks the Government to Consider Nationalizing Canadian Railways dlvr.it/TD1lyF @cdnpoli #CanadianGreens #GPC #cdnpoli

Green Party of CanadaGreen Party Supports Teamsters, Asks the Government to Consider Nationalizing Canadian RailwaysWINNIPEG - The Green Party of Canada (GPC) stands in solidarity with the Teamsters union, echoing their concerns regarding the recent decision by the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to order an end to work stoppages at Canadian Pacific (CP) and Canadian National Railway (CN). In response, GPC’s Labour Critic and Elmwood-Transcona by-election candidate Nic Geddert and GPC Leader Elizabeth May will host a Labour-focused press conference in Winnipeg on September 9, 2024, addressing these pressing issues. The GPC denounces the dangerous precedent set by the CIRB’s decision, which undermines workers' rights to strike and engage in collective bargaining. "This is a blow to workers’ rights in Canada, and we must stand with the Teamsters to defend fair treatment, safety, and dignity on the job," said Leader Elizabeth May.

Green Party Demands Immediate End to Loophole in Canadian Arms Transfers to Israel dlvr.it/TCwc1x @cdnpoli #CanadianGreens #GPC #cdnpoli

Green Party of CanadaGreen Party Demands Immediate End to Loophole in Canadian Arms Transfers to IsraelOTTAWA - The Green Party of Canada (GPC) expresses outrage over a glaring loophole that allows lethal weapons to continue to flow from Canada to Israel despite the March 2024 parliamentary vote to halt such transfers. This ambiguity permits the transfer of Canadian-made weapons through intermediary countries, most notably the United States. The GPC calls for the immediate cancellation of the General Dynamics contract and an unequivocal embargo on all arms sales to Israel. In March, Parliament, including the governing Liberal Party, voted to stop the direct transfer of weapons to Israel. However, a critical oversight has emerged, allowing arms shipments to bypass this decision by routing them through countries like the U.S. Canada has not revoked existing arms export permits, nor does the prohibition extend to Canadian-made weapons and components that are first sent to the U.S. before being shipped to Israel.

Has there ever been a more feckless, poll driven, and visionless leader of the NDP than Singh? If he isn't pandering to right wing dimwits, he's parroting thei right's propaganda. The NDP should be in 1st place with a floundering LPC. Instead, they are losing support and seats.

MP Morrice proposes solutions to federal arts funding gaps dlvr.it/TCmSHF @cdnpoli #CanadianGreens #GPC #cdnpoli

Green Party of CanadaMP Morrice proposes solutions to federal arts funding gapsOTTAWA - Seeing local arts organizations like the KW Symphony abruptly shutting down while others like THEMUSEUM requested emergency funds to get through a tough patch, Kitchener Centre MP Mike Morrice sees a way the federal government can repair some of the damages caused by current funding approaches. His team’s research led to the discovery of federal arts funding being inequitably distributed in different areas of the country, resulting in a $9.3 million gap in his community Waterloo Region alone.  Morrice has since tabled a private members motion and is sponsoring a petition recommending the federal government not only reinstate previous funding levels but replicate the Regional Development Agency model which is used to distribute economic development funds more equitable throughout different regions.
