Live in rural Alberta w/ many Progressive Conservative friends quietly sharing they are voting Liberal today. Reform friends who also hear this tell me “those PCs weren’t REAL conservatives anyways.” If you want to win elections, that’s probably the wrong answer.

My anti-socialism friends define socialism as collecting wealth from citizens and redistributing it among all citizens. Fair. Isn’t Trump collecting tariffs from Americans and redistributing it in place of income taxes socialism then? Honest confusion.

FYI: Legislatively and Constitutionally, it’s easier for a state to join Canada than for a Province or Territory to join the USA.

This is a great thread for Canadians to read. When we remove government as the guarantor of debt, this is the kind of system you get. One of many reasons for core services in Canadian healthcare to remain publicly funded.

My own reading of @cafreeland’s resignation letter is a criticism of character more than competence of the Prime Minister (though that’s sprinkled in too). If Canadians share that view, politicians can recover from one but not the other. Guess which. t.co/GIrBHJV9VV

In the end, politics are about going where your message is heard More practical to ask, "Is my message being heard in the way I'm trying to communicate it?" and "Is it moving folks to behave differently (ie - vote, donate, etc)?" There's little point to stay in a place you're message isn't heard.

The next four years of domestic and foreign policy are going to be great for content creators. Not so clear if they will be as great for citizens. This weeks Plausible Futures post, Can we force our way into a Desired Future? bit.ly/3ZmaOMO

I had a great conversation about pan-Canadian licensure with MP Mike Lake earlier this week. When doctors have the ability to move and work freely within Canada, our entire health system becomes stronger and more flexible.

I remain surprised at the number of Canadian business leaders pandering to Trump to the detriment of their own country. What happens to Canada happens to them. This is the CEO of Shopify.

Donald Trump threatens 25% tariff on products from Canada, Mexico | CBC News
Donald Trump has levelled his most severe threat against Canada in years, warning that on his very first day on office he might impose punishing economic sanctions across North America, with a 25 per cent tariff on Canada and Mexico. The announcement in a social-media post sent the loonie tumbling.
