Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

It’s wild how, in USA right now, GOP officials are calling the Epstein bill a “national security threat.” Meanwhile, the president has literally rolled out red carpets and full pageantry this year on US soil for the likes of Putin & MBS. 🤷🏻♂️ hint hint: your nat’l security threat lives at the WH, folks

Dear Canadian Media,
Kindly stop handing the mic to Pierre Poilievre.
He lost his job for a reason, and now he’s campaigning to divide this country. This isn’t journalism, it’s noise we don’t need.

In 2024, Canadians spent $20.5B in the U.S.—nearly double what Americans spent at McDonald’s.
Now? Tourism is dropping fast. Travel from Canada to the U.S. has declined for 4 straight months, and it could cost the U.S. economy over $4B this year.

JUST IN: After a judicial recount in Terrebonne, the Liberals have taken the seat by a razor-thin margin of just one vote—flipping it from the Bloc Québécois.
This bumps the Liberals up to 170 seats in the House of Commons, now just two short of clinching a majority.

Your car’s German. Your pizza’s Italian. Democracy? Greek. Coffee? Brazilian. Movies? Global. Shirt? Indian. Electronics? Chinese. Numbers? Arabic. Alphabet? Latin. Maybe think twice before calling your neighbour “foreign.” Your world’s already international; your compassion should be too.

Friendly reminder: Poilievre’s team didn’t just borrow Trump’s playbook — they showed up wearing the merch. MAGA hats, private jets, American slogans. If you think that ends well for Canada, I’ve got a convoy to sell you.
