To be clear, there is NOT A STRIKE by rail workers. It's a pre-emptive worker LOCK OUT by corporate giants Canadian National and CPKC instead of settling on a contract that respects workers' contributions to the companies' record profits. nationalpost.com/news/canada/raโ€ฆ

YOU RUN AHS.. YOU!!! You fired the CEO and installed a political hack, you stuffed the board with grifters, you made doctors and nurses flee the province, you defunded the hospitals, and you tried to reconfigure how AHS works when it was a worldwide example of excellence care.

Simon & Garfunkel performing "The Sound of Silence" in Central Park, 1981. Two amazing artists and one guitar. Nothing else. A true masterpiece that will live forever.

Illustrating perfectly what Charles Lindblom called "the science of muddling through." He famously described much public policy making as the practice of "disjointed incrementalism." Danielle Smith takes it to a new level. #Albertans will pay the price. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editorโ€ฆ

Conservative PM Brian Mulroney made a commitment to tackle climate change at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. And now 32 flipping years later we have Conservative politicians denying climate change when the situation is way worse. It's appalling. And yes, the kids should be mad.

Remember when Poilievre and his federal Conservatives held up Canadian aid to Ukraine? It was a head scratcher at the time, but after todayโ€™s revelations about Russia interference in western democracies, itโ€™s starting to make more sense.

Jagmeet Singh ๐ŸŸ  JAGMEET: "And so, HOW we can lift Canadians up is by TEARING up agreements as soon as WE have gotten everything we wanted from the deal, and then calling for an election a year EARLY to ensure that Conservative fascists and climate-change deniers, get their BEST opportunity

Give me a break. All the money from carbon pricing goes back, with the majority of Canadians (especially lower income) better off. I think Jagmeet Singh needs a briefing but also a climate plan - and one that supports the people the NDP professes to care about.

The difference: The upsetting things said by Trump and Vance are not true. The upsetting things said about Trump and Vance are true. Trump really did mount a violent coup against the Constitution. He and his relatives really did take bribes in office, including from foreign

NEWS: Even though Canadaโ€™s population is rising faster than ever and our economy has been growing, Canadaโ€™s carbon emissions have tilted DOWNWARD. This is incredibly good news that proves the carbon price is working. /2 cbc.ca/amp/1.7327316
