@mpjgregoire @ink_slinger I agree. Shorter is better. Whichever works best is good for me. :)

The only argument I can think of for #cdnpoli is that more people might expect conversations to be there. So using it might mean that more people are in on the conversation, and that we don't loop ourselves out of new conversations that start as more twitter refugees come on board.

@mpjgregoire @michela I could get on board with #canpol. #cdnpoli was the norm on Twitter, but there's no reason to stick to that just because it was the norm elsewhere. #canpol is slightly shorter, which is nice.

@ink_slinger Oh. Cool! I'll definitely use the #Cdnpoli one, if that works. :)

@michela If we're agreed on the #cdnpoli hashtag (rather than the longer #canadapolitics or #canadianpolitics I've occasionally seen), then I'll try to remember to tag my relevant posts.

NDP promised to implement a national pharmacare if elected, so now the Liberals are announcing that, actually, they're going to do it if re-elected. Typical.

I listened to Singh's speech on the weekend and it was a good speech. It definitely seems to signal a shift leftward, which is not what I initially expected from Singh. This is a good analysis of what was in the speech, and what was missing.

My newest Canadian Dimension piece, where I argue that the debates around Net Neutrality are a big opportunity for the left to challenge capitalist assumptions about freedom and democracy #cdnpoli #NetNeutrality

RT @always_vote@twitter.com: Since Jason Kenney 'United' Conservatives in Alberta I've been bowled-over by @DShepYeg@twitter.com, @kylemmorrow@twitter.com and @trevortombe@twitter.com in particualr for their fact-checking skills and for calling out #UCP LIES.

"The problem with antifa isn’t its use of violence but that its violence is both insufficient and unexamined."

This is a much more nuanced (and pro-violence) article than I expected from the Walrus.

I don't agree with all of it, but it was an interesting read, especially considering the source.

Singh wasn't my first (or second) choice, but I think he has potential to move the party in a new direction - which could be good or bad.

Jagmeet Singh and the media's race problem.

This column from Colby Cosh, about the fact that Edmonton isn't "reeling" from Saturday's alleged terror attack and, in fact, it didn't even cross his mind to blame this on all Muslims is pretty accurate and better reflects the reality of living in Edmonton than any hot takes about how we need to "stand together." We already do, and to think we wouldn't seems absurd.
