🚨 #BREAKING “Race to Replace” is a new 8-week limited podcast series from Air Quotes Media – creators of @CurseOfPolitics, @TheHerleBurly and @HotelPacificoBC – that chronicles the Liberal Party of Canada leadership campaign to decide who becomes Canada's next Prime Minister.…
Canadian elevators are too big, too expensive. This means that we build many more 3-4 storey buildings as walkups, limiting accessibility. We should allow developers to build with smaller and more cost-effective European elevators. Read the whole piece! theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
Good to see that Housing Minister Gregor Robertson is pressuring Toronto to do the right thing on much-needed housing reform. If Toronto can't figure this out in six months, they shouldn't get a dime of federal housing accelerator funds. cbc.ca/news/canada/to….
Trump tariffs foreign steel by 25%. American steel makers respond by raising their prices by 24%. American companies and consumers pay for all of it. Tax increases left and right. Horrendous policy.
A few points to make in response to all this news and commentary. @LichTamara and @ChrisBarber1975 have not yet been sentenced. Ms. Lich says the Crown is seeking a long custodial sentence, but we have yet to see what the court will decide. It will likely be shorter. 1/
Like most Canadians, I believe in accountability when laws are broken. No one is above the law—protesters, police, or politicians. Tamara Lich and Chris Barber were convicted of mischief for their roles in organizing and encouraging the Ottawa protest in 2022. They were not…
Canada holds the cards
David Eby gets it. The world wants our - critical minerals - oil, gas and electricity - potash & ag exports - lumber - tourism $ - pension capital - AI talent And much more. We have leverage. We shouldn’t act like we can be broken by threats of annexation or imperial tarifs.
I say this with emphasis. When the Japan deal details are made public, I suspect the math will not match the White House rhetoric. There is no way.
A very interesting read from Jim. There has been very little quantitative analysis of the potential impact of US trade tariff threats. This paper fills in some of those data gaps - and should widely read by anyone with a stake in the Canada - US tariff negotiations. #cdnpoli
With August 1 looming, so important for 🇨🇦 trade negotiators to stay firm. A bad deal with Trump (including tariffs that would hit Canada harder than almost any other country) is worse than no deal at all. See our @futurework_cda report: centreforfuturework.ca/2025/07/22/a-b… #cdneon #canlab /2
Hey @petehoekstra Since you think Canadians are “mean and nasty” just because we stand up for ourselves, here’s my polite Canadian response: 🍊 I’ll buy oranges from Antarctica before I ever buy them from Florida. 🏔️ I’ll spend a week in a cave in the middle of nowhere with no…
We agree Prime Minister. Canada must fight for workers and industries with everything we have. “The Canadian government will not accept a bad agreement. The objective is NOT to have an agreement at any cost” - PM Carney cpac.ca/headline-polit…
British Columbia has reached a trade agreement with Ontario. This will make it easier for people to work in both provinces, provide producers easier access to markets, while giving consumers more choice.

No matter what Trump’s ambassador says, Canadians aren’t “mean and nasty” for choosing to buy Canadian and travel locally. We’re taking a stand against Trump’s threats to our sovereignty and standing on our own two feet. Let's hold the line.
More nasty please.

“We are looking for the best deal for Canada. We are only going to accept the best deal for Canada,” says PM Mark Carney, commenting on ongoing Canada–U.S. trade negotiations in his opening remarks to Canada’s provincial and territorial premiers in Huntsville, Ont. #cdnpoli
Translation for people who don’t speak Grifter: ‘Tariffs up’ - 🇺🇸s pay more. ‘Import prices down’ - not in the 🇺🇸 ‘Foreign producers bear the tax burden’ - you spelled “🇺🇸 buyers” wrong. “America enjoys the tariff revenues” - paid for by 🇺🇸s
🚨Tariffs up. Import prices down. Foreign producers bear the tariff burden. America enjoys the tariff revenues.
Literally nothing, since Alberta doesn't make "the equalization payments."
What happens if Alberta stops making the equalization payments? westernstandard.news/alberta/66265/…
The design of the Maple Leaf flag was officially approved on July 21, 1964, following what became known as the Great Flag Debate. The maple leaf, a symbol of Canada since the 18th century, was adopted and has become a distinct Canadian icon! 🍁🇨🇦
Howard Lutnick's investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald is offering to buy the right to businesses tariff refunds, basically betting that the courts will overturn the tariffs.
