I spoke with the Prime Minister of Canada. I’m grateful to Justin Trudeau, his team, and everyone involved for successfully hosting the thematic conference on the fourth point of the Peace Formula, “Release of Prisoners and Deported Persons,” held in Montreal on October 30-31.

🇨🇦 just dropped provincial GDP data. 🥳 Despite political noise, BC is 🇨🇦's best performing economy. It leads for both aggregate & per-capita GDP growth. Unemployment is also 0.5 ppts below avg. You may hate David Eby, but he's peak economic performance in 🇨🇦 right now.

The great American writer and editor, H.L. Mencken, wrote this for the Baltimore Evening Sun, 26 July 1920: "The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying even the mob with him by

Today, Statistics Canada revised 🇨🇦’s cumulative economic growth higher by 1.3% for the 2021 to 2023 period, including the 2021 revision to 6.0% vs 5.3%. The revision means that 🇨🇦’s per capita GDP from 2019 to 2023 did not decline, but fully recovered after the global pandemic.

Rental market softening rapidly in Canada....and that's even before impact of declining temp resident cohort in 2025-26 and a 6% expansion in purpose-built rental stock due to record construction activity over the next couple years.

Can’t help but note the efforts to work up rage about a false story about banning prayer at Remembrance Day from the same folks who brought coffee and donuts to the people dancing on the grave of the Unknown Soldier.

Harper FIRED democratic reform minister Pierre Poilievre. Harper FIRED housing minister Pierre Poilievre. O'Toole FIRED finance critic Pierre Poilievre. NOBODY in the Conservative Party thinks he is competent. #cdnpoli #onpoli #peipoli

“That Putin would prefer Poilievre to run this country speaks volumes. Not because Poilievre would be an ally or useful idiot, but because — like Trump — he’s an imbecile.” Pierre Poilievre’s silence on Russian right-wing propaganda in Canada is deafening cultmtl.com/2024/09/pierre…

Ten years later, none of these things have been completed.

Very simply. Any political pundit in Canada who doesn’t condemn this attempt to politicize a sacred event with blatant lying is not deserving of this country. #canpoli #canmediafails

This sounds like a good idea for Canada. Justin Trudeau @cafree

Jesus! When a man of the cloth calls you a liar, I guess you are.

is the left “obsessed” with gender, sexuality, race, etc, or are they just constantly having to defend people in marginalized groups against a right wing that’s ACTUALLY obsessed with gender, sexuality, race, etc

John Horgan believed in the power of public service. He saw it as a privilege, as a way to help others and to make our country better. He loved British Columbia. As Premier, he had a tenacity, passion, and dedication for his work that very few could match. Through the pandemic,

This vile piece of shit put his latest political slogan in a message of condolence.

The grift and corruption is just right out in the open now. They are cutting out the middle man.

This is why Pierre Poilievre lies. This is why all Conservatives lie. If we address this, Conservatives have nothing. Regulate social media Prohibit foreign ownership of media Outlaw lying in Parliament Mandate security clearances #cdnpoli #PierrePoilievreIsLyingToYou

I attended the Remembrance Day ceremony in Whitby and the Chaplain led us in multiple prayers. People know Poilievre lies, and he knowingly does so regularly, but to lie and politicize Remembrance Day is beyond shameful; It’s disgraceful and dishonourable. Grow up! #cdnpoli

Good observations, Andrew Leach 🇨🇦. No less than three weeks after questioning The Food Professor on the real drivers of food price volatility (climate change!), he comes out with this. A “peer-reviewed” piece funded by an anti-carbon price lobby group, founded by none other than the

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
