Ce que font et disent les têtes d’affiche de notre gouvernement provincial actuel et du PQ est en effet à vomir. Le Québec, terre d’accueil, de tolérance et d’ouverture sur le Monde… c’est chose du passé. Triste. Espérons que nous nous réveillerons en 2026.

On the left: Fred Hahn, union leader and gay rights activist. This weekend, his union CUPE Ontario is rallying in Toronto in support of the Iranian regime. On the right: the fate of labour organizers and gay men in Iran. So much for solidarity, right Fred Hahn?

If only economists had advocated for setting a price that reflects the social cost of carbon emissions and letting the market decide which abatement options make sense. Oh wait, they did. Conservatives decided either that other policies were better, or that social cost was $0.

2030 is a little more than four years away. Stunts like this are why you don't have official party status. Perhaps you could legislate that we all get a unicorn by next Tuesday?

I want the CPP board to make the best investments to keep the pension fund solvent, favouring Canadian companies where it makes sense, but not on the basis of misguided patriotism. Judge the CPP by its annual return on investment, not how much is invested in Canada vs the U.S.

🇮🇷 An Iranian missile has hit the largest hospital in southern Israel. No hidden bunker. No dual-use facility. Just a hospital. But we already know how this works. 📌 If Israel had done it — even in response to rocket fire — the outrage would be instant, and the verdict swift:

I'm heading to Montreal to give a speech. In the speech, I am going to talk about a lie: the false claim that Israel bombed the main hospital in Gaza City in October 2023. And how that was successfully used for propaganda. And then I'm going to talk about the bombing last night

Conservative partisans scream for tax cuts and when they get a tax cut, they complain it’s not enough, even when it’s more than what their own party was promising to give them up front (PP’s tax cuts were larger but back-loaded, remember?)

PP says he doesn’t like government decrees like EV mandates. I agree. But there was a market-based alternative called carbon pricing, and he screamed and whined about it until it got cancelled. So, Pierre, you don’t like regulations and you don’t like markets either. What’s left?

At the risk of alienating even more my audience, "Pull the plug" annoys the shit out of me Yes the 2035 EV mandate is unrealistic. But a RW party should be supportive of new technology. After all, isn't that how we believe we fill solve climate change? So a more intellectual

D’accord. Alors, est-ce que le PLQ s’engage à mettre fin à ces politiques de subventions aux entreprises et à abolir Investissement Québec? Est-ce qu’un gouvernement du PLQ va arrêter de choisir des gagnants et des perdants? Curieusement, je n’ai pas eu vent de cela. 🤔
