Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Maybe the AB government should spend less time banning books, fighting with the feds, stoking separation, cancelling renewable projects, and more time looking at policies to encourage economic diversification and investment? #abpoli #UCP
From today's jobs report, Canada's unemployment rate rises to 7.1% (up 0.5 points this year). Alberta has seen a notable increase to 8.4% (the highest since 2017, excl. covid).

@mark-carney.bsky.social - when are we going to start seeing policies that will move the needle on #climate action? It seems strange that "Values" spoke so passionately about the urgency on this matter but now almost feels forgotten #cdnpoli.

REPORTER: I have a document showing some of the fiscal plans for this year.
PM CARNEY: Look at that. It looks like it's written on a napkin.
REPORTER: I don't know whose napkin it is.

Report is from 2024 so naturally would be reflecting global opinion on Justin Trudeau. I'd bet that a similar survey done today would be even more favourable with @mark-carney.bsky.social coming off his presser with DJT. #cdnpoli 🇨🇦
According to the 2024 Ipsos World Affairs Report, Canada is the most positively viewed global leader, 79% of people across 30 countries believe we’re a force for good. Stability, respect, kindness. That’s the reputation on the line every time we vote.
Leading ahead of Germany and France.

No reason Canada can't do it too, particularly with a government that gives a shit about #ClimateChange #cdnpoli
The EU proves it: emissions down 37% since 1990, economy up 70%. A record 9% drop in 2023 alone, compared to the year of 2022. Growth and climate action can go hand in hand! 📈🌱: www.eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/... #ClimateAction #GreenGrowth

The only reversal of fortune The Economist could find that's anywhere close to the rapid rise of Liberal fortunes in Canada is the Freedom Movement in Slovenia in 2022. This is a near- unprecedented success for Liberals
