This is your occasional reminder that provinces have the ability to raise their own revenues to fund the services in their fucking jurisdictions, but we have normalized letting them cry poor and blaming the federal government.
Budget signals lower increases to health transfers, end of funding deals
OTTAWA - The federal budget signals there is no room for the premiers to negotiate for more health-care funding in coming years, one economist says, as the Ontario government calls

Take him seriously, not literally. That's been the advice for dealing with Donald Trump for years now. So why does Alberta premier Danielle Smith insist on doing the opposite — and what does it mean for the "Team Canada" approach to the tariff war? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/11/o...
Danielle Smith is auditioning for Team America
Danielle Smith still seems to think that the trade war with Donald Trump is really about border security. How long until she figures out what's really going on?

Donald Trump is threatening Canada with 25% tariffs but only 10% for China.
This isn't about trade. This is a thug trying to shake our nation down.
Canadians will not kiss the ring of the gangster from Mar-a-Lago.

I'd like to remind Canadians that there are over 40 million of us, Canada is a member of the G7, one of the most advanced economies in the world, and ranks 10th in GDP. We rank 4th in oil production, 2nd in land area and we are rich in resources. We are not the economic pushover Trump thinks we are.

That's exactly it. Trudeau wasn't perfect or without blemishes, but he was far, far better than ANY Conservative turd throwing politician.

The negativity of this polling company, freaking out the public after interest rates have come down 4 times this year. This is the conservative way of creating fear, anxiety and misinforming the public. Keep on the look out for outrageous, fearful headlines in Canadian media.

Dear Donald,
This crew stormed Juno Beach. There is not a more dignified and respectful group of people anywhere.
But even in their late 90s they would do it all again to defend democracy.
Needless to say they would kick you grifter ass back to Mar Largo if you ever dissed our country.
Just sayin'

I thought I knew a lot about life and democracy until I travelled with D-Day survivors to Normandy.
They were so classy and principled.
Their determination to defend freedom left a huge impact on me as did the welcome from people in Normandy and Netherlands who have never forgot the sacrifice.

Impressive thread.
📌#cdnpoli Five years ago I could not have imagined any MP being so power hungry to become Canada's PM that he would travel the country on the taxpayer's dime telling lies and misrepresenting truths. However, Pierre Poilievre has created a #politicalcult by brainwashing the low Q Canadians ⤵️

I am not asking you to make out with Trudeau. I too, would like to kick him in the shins. But I am asking you don’t let your irrational anger convince you in an emotional state that Pierre Poilievre is an option.

Here in Ontario, Doug Ford fought us in court to prevent mandate letters to be released publicly and won. Against us, paid with our own tax money and he's apparently leading in the polls. New Brunswick has seen the light and elected a progressive Liberal gov't. Better is always possible Ontarians.
Our work is paying off.

Today, Mandate Letters from Premier Susan Holt
incoming Ministers were shared with the public.

The Hon. Chuck Chiasson, Minister of Transportation & Infrastructure, will take the lead on the party's commitment to improve the air in public buildings.
