Like so many things in the first year of Carney's tenure, this is straight out of the Harper era. ElectroMotive in London, Navistar in Chatham...both took government money and gave job guarantees, both kept the money and bailed anyway. In response, the government...did nothing.

So, for example, there's this very nice river walk bracketed on one side by a largely under utilized 6 lane arterial road, itself bracketed by empty parking lots and dead squares of land.

Imbroglior @dkfoster.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
So... an urban freeway and its off-ramps and wide arterials, although only half built, still designed for a much larger population. Resulting in a whole lot of dead, unused road space.

Listen. Rob Ford rode this political grievance to City Hall. His coat-tailing brother hijacked it to Queen's Park. Start actually voting for politicians who really want to deal with it. **Hint** It's not Michael Thompson.

Important investigation from the Globe. "Alberta sovereignty has become a talking point for senior American leaders and influential conservative voices, giving legitimacy to a separatist cause that might otherwise have been a fringe provincial movement." #Gift 🎁 #abpoli #ableg
A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada, while harbouring their own aspirations for the province to secede.

The Globe also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington to meet with the U.S. State Department, they offered up key assets from the province’s resource portfolio, including access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil, in exchange for help transitioning to independence.

Through interviews with The Globe on both sides of the border, people involved in politics, the corporate sector and Alberta’s pursuit of separatism have described persistent efforts by figures in the U.S. administration and conservative political establishment to support groups seeking American expansionism and independence for Alberta.

It's always so sad to me when I see Hollywood actors from a movie reunite a decade plus later and the men have aged totally normally and the women look exactly the same, because god FORBID they're allowed to get old. I'm so glad I've never been successful enough to have to deal with that nonsense.

"Canada is already 20 years behind on its climate goals, with no plan to meet the 2050 net-zero target." Rather than being touted as on the vanguard of anti-Trumpism, Canada should be rightly classified as a climate villain. We deserve no allies.

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

Whatever else you can say about Rob Ford, there was no doubt that he believed in what he ran on. Bradford has demonstrated very clearly that he has no core beliefs and just runs to whatever space on the political spectrum has an opening he thinks presents an opportunity.
