It’s striking, to me, that even people like the head of the chamber of commerce still seem under the impression that being referred to the Major Projects Office means bypassing usual regulatory processes - yet to be the case for any referred projects. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

The Epstein case against Trump is as if everyone is looking at a 500 piece puzzle with 2 pieces missing and pretending they can't make out the picture for certain.

WTF NB Power - why are you allowing a US company to do this? 🤬

A proposed data centre in the Lorneville area of #SaintJohnNB would gobble up the equivalent of almost half the electricity N.B. Power will get from a controversial natural gas plant in the Tantramar area.

A father called in to ask why his disabled son was getting the $200 clawed back.

Smith's response?

The reason for that subsidy is we lobbied the feds to cost share! Sides, we don't want disabled people moving to Alberta to take advantage of us!

WOW!!

Smith threw her staff under the bus hard today!

In defense of her continuation of the "Alberta is calling" campaign, she claimed that she learned about the federal immigration policies & impacts not from briefings...

But from a tweet.

PM Mark Carney was talking about attracting foreign investment to Canada and listed reasons Canada is a good place to invest. A reporter pointed out that the U.S. has those things, too. What sets Canada apart?

PM Carney: "Well, we have rule of law."

Love the end run around Danielle Smith, who has stated that no municipality can make a deal with the feds without her ok.

She may be too busy basking in the afterglow of learning new lessons in human rights suppression from the Saudis to notice a mayor talked to Carney without her permission.

His comments to CBC confirm this is how it went down, the maelstrom he faced the last 48 hours made him realize he doesn't want any part of the toxicity. This is Poilievre's CPC, an angry, rabid, extremist base that went after him and his family for daring to think country first. #cdnpoli
CPC MP Jeneroux resigning is a result of the strong arm tactics to keep him in line, he can't move to the Libs and face the vitriol, but can't support Poilievre. This is a devastating development for the CPC, the fact he mentioned leaving his family alone, testament to the hateful CPC base. #cdnpoli

The Supreme Court allows ostrich farm cull to proceed. People are shocked that potential transmitters of deadly avian disease will be killed on an ostrich farm that... (checks notes) normally kills them for meat. #cdnpoli
