The supply & confidence agreement is Liberal brilliance. They know the NDP won't call an election. The longer it persists, the less opportunity for NDP contrast with the LPC. Singh should run - not walk - away from the agreement should he care about the NDP post election #cdnpoli

Convenience stores play an important role in supporting our communities! Not only do they make our communities stronger, but this week, they are giving back with #NationalConvenienceWeek and raising funds to support Make-A-Wish Canada #MakingCommunitiesStronger

In light of USTR’s move to request consultations under USMCA over Canada’s Digital Services Tax, here is my conversation last month with Michael Geist outlining the issues.

Biggest impact this will have short term is on by-elections in Winnipeg & Montreal (NDP is competitive in both), and on the government's legislative agenda this Fall. Don't expect an immediate election. Do expect frequent confidence votes that grind things to a halt. #cdnpoli

I suspect many a motion will be. It also will require the Liberals to reprioritize bills, exclusively on the things they know they can get support for. That might prove to be a very short list at a time they need to demonstrate progress (real change?) <1 year from elxn. #cdnpoli

The good people Convenience Industry Council of Canada have worked incredibly hard to make today's ON alcohol expansion happen. Cheers to helping the little guy and letting adults, be adults. Special 🍻 to Adam Yahn for using your skills & smarts to achieve this. #onpoli cknewstoday.ca/chatham/news/2…

Wonder what we will talk about in #cdnpoli today? 🤔.

Wherein a Liberal government MP suggests a journalist not share an unfavorable opinion of the government, because they receive public subsidies. Perhaps the Liberals want a "free" and "independent" press the same as they have a "free" and "independent" Senate. #cdnpoli

Considering the fact convenience stores pay a portion of the LCBO retail price - not the wholesale price - plus added c-store costs, they're keeping prices very competitive. In some cases, products are cheaper than the LCBO. Competition is good. #onpoli blogto.com/eat_drink/2024…

⤵️ Remarkable ⤵️ "Perhaps it’s a bad sign that Liberal MPs expect a third of their colleagues won’t show up at their summer caucus ... beginning Monday in Nanaimo. If Grit MPs are checked out, how can you expect the electorate to get excited?" #cdnpoli thestar.com/opinion/star-c…

Yes, this is the highest the Tories have ever polled in Ontario this parliament

I’m very disappointed to see PSAC NCR | AFPC RCN targeting small businesses in their dispute with the federal government. Downtown businesses are not responsible for decisions about back to work. They’ve suffered significantly as a result of the pandemic. Let’s keep them out of the line of

PSAC: How dare workers be expected to support local businesses when downtown! Also PSAC: How dare employers not make special accommodations for my very specific circumstances! The lack of self-awareness is stunning. #cdnpoli #ottcity

Absolutely heartbreaking. This cannot continue. #cdnpoli

Could proroguing Parliament be too risky for the Liberals? Summa's Kate Harrison breaks it down in the National Post, explaining why it could bring “more risk than reward” amid the possibility of an early election. Read more 👇 #cdnpoli nationalpost.com/news/politics/…

Eby. Kinew. Singh. Even New Democrats are walking away from the federal Liberal carbon tax. For Guilbeault and Trudeau to double down today underscores how out of touch they are, even with their own progressive base, on this issue. #cdnpoli

Factual info.

Under PM Harper, 🇨🇦 was Israel's closest ally, second only to the U.S., with a voice that mattered. Today, while the current 🇨🇦 government claims to support Israel's right to defend itself, it actively denies 🇮🇱 the means to do so. 🇨🇦has effectively turned its back on🇮🇱 #cdnpoli
