Relevant for those who think 🇨🇦 should give away supply management, the Digital Services Tax, and anything else Trump doesn't like, to keep him happy and get a "deal" (that he may or may not follow): Retail egg prices up 27% in Canada since Jan2021, over 300% in the US. #cdnpoli

Governments across Canada claiming to prioritise the economy & dismantling public health care have lost their moral compass. See our joint statement in the lead-up to the meeting of the Premiers and Mark Carney next week #cdnpoli #CounciloftheFederation friendsofmedicare.org/pthcs_joint_st…

The Ford Conservatives are proposing to bypass the regulations that require new applicants to undergo a full review of groundwater extraction for bottling. They want to grant a new permit based solely on a previous approval given to a different company. canadians.org/analysis/ford-…

Trump's so-called 'deals' with Japan & the EU have no binding commitments to anything--other than continued 15% tariffs on their exports to the US. All the more reason for Canada to steer clear of these photo-ops. Here's my take for Marianne Dimain CBC News: cbc.ca/player/play/vi….

During the election, Carney warned that Pierre Poilievre would roll back pharmacare, accusing him of “following President Trump’s playbook.” Now, Carney appears to be doing exactly what he warned Poilievre would do. canadians.org/media/pharmaca…

.Linda McQuaig (again) tells us what business and conservative "commentators" won’t. Public #healthcare is 🇨🇦's *single biggest domestic industry*: employing 3M, adding $200B/yr to GDP, creating 500K new jobs over 10yrs 🙏Jim Stanford thestar.com/opinion/contri… OntarioHealthCoal'n

As the easiest hip replacement surgeries ramp up in for-profit clinics, physicians, nurses & other staff will gravitate from hospitals. Waits for more complex surgeries in hospitals and wait times overall will grow. Costs will balloon. Terrible public policy.

The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages.

In an almost unthinkable display of conflict-of-interest, a former Air Canada legal counsel, Maryse Tremblay, will rule on whether to end job action by striking Air Canada flight attendants at the Canada Industrial Relations Board.

Canada needs a comprehensive strategy for economic self-sufficiency, not a narrow focus on building oil pipelines, cutting regulations and taxes.
