Wars, like elections, have consequences. Keep those elbows up Canada. Our wallets are speaking loud and clear.

The first part is a particular challenge. It isn’t just “progressives” who want to improve the fairness of the system; many “conservatives” share this goal. They just disagree as to what reforms would actually make things better.

I say lessened, because problems remain. Some feel that this is because the reforms need to be improved; better is still possible within our economic system. All that we need do is figure out what will work and then find the political will to implement it.

Folks up here need to understand that leaders like Poilievre and Danielle Smith are part of the exact same worldwide movement as Trump and the current US regime.

Got to thinking about 2026. Especially the CPC leadership review. Thinking there's quite possibly at least one more CPC MP who's unhappy with Poilievre. Thinking, if delegates elect him leader again, another CPC MP could cross the floor. Give the Liberals a majority.

A real conundrum. For the CPC.

Sweden has launched a groundbreaking environmental initiative where wild crows are trained to collect discarded cigarette butts and exchange them for food via a special machine.
When a crow drops a piece of litter into the device, it releases a food reward, encouraging participation.

Neighbour down the road's got a field bluff of 16-foot saplings all bent over at the middle, looking terribly sad, and ready to snap, for the weight of all the ice, and from now on we're going to call the road he lives on Poilievre 2025 Lane.

If someone says to you, "what are you doing about students' use of AI?" ask them, "do you think that this should be my problem? How good do you think my response can be? Should it not be up to legislators & administrators to defend against a commercial industry's attack on your child's education?"

We stand together. Stronger. Sovereign. Elbows up.
Canada is a federation, and we are strongest when we are united and working together.

My thanks to Canada’s premiers for their partnership this year. Looking forward to our work ahead in 2026 to keep building a stronger, more competitive, and more independent Canadian economy.
