I just went uptown to buy a few things from a couple local stores. Circled the neighbourhood following detour signs and parking restrictions and after 15 minutes of not even getting out of my car, came back home, didn't buy a thing. Does City Hall hate Uptown businesses?

I want to highlight segments of #MarkCarney ‘s speech at the EU today. Apparently Carney wrote the speech. Which is not the case for most leaders. It can’t be described as anything but historic. These clips are not necessarily in order. This part was especially important & powerful. #cdnpoli

Prediction: Canada will not sign and may not even bother negotiating a new trade deal with the United States before 2029. There here won't be a negotiating partner to be had on the other side before then. There are people there, they just aren't negotiating partners. #pencil #notrust #cdnpoli

Clear, insightful post unlike most of the "our leader is better than your leader" take on the #tradewar, that isn't: sologi.co/3ToYc8x "These two strategies cannot coexist. That is the collision. Not tariffs. Not trade balances. Not China." #Cdnpoli #politics

Canada Isn't Turning to China. It's Doing Something Much More Dangerous.

The fight over Canada isn't about trade. It's about whether a sovereign country can diversify its way out of dependence — and what happens to American power if it does.

Canadians need strong, competent, constructive leadership from our opposition parties if we're going to have good government. Our governments would be better if we had reasonable alternative options to choose. Right now we don't in Canada or NB. We won't vote for ridiculous and small.

Understand how algorithms work. If you're seeing it, it's because someone is paying for you to see it. Social media algorithms are not designed to curate the news you need to know each day, they show you what others decide you need to know with their money.
