Can we all please take a moment to celebrate Dr. Alan Doyle on receiving honourary doctorate and giving a most inspiring convocation speech at #MUN. #I'mNotCryingYou'reCrying

Do we really want to claim an Inuit woman is insulting 25% of the country because she was only able to learn to read and comprehend, but not conversationally speak, the language of a group of people that tried actively to eradicate her language?

She's bilingual in Inuktitut and English and can read and comprehend French as a third language. Which of those three languages was here first?

I see both sides. We want to make newly informed choices and they responded. In reality product packaging is dubious and they get fined if they get it wrong any number of times in any number of stores. Trying to do the right thing comes with significant financial risk.

Maybe it's the easiest possible petition to make look like an early "win"? Maybe they genuinely don't know the difference between food and groceries? Maybe just really, really want Canadians to live off chips and single servings of yogurt?

You need at least a row uncovered around the outside edges of the lot to put the massive banks of snow. It's too significant an infrastructure investment to not at least actively plan to minimize potential damage.

It not the efficiency of the panels. It's the volume mandate. I am talking straight up snow removal practicalities.

My one word answer is winter. Could maybe work for lower mainland. BC. It would have broken Nova Scotia this year trying to plow around them.

Let's conveniently forget we've been in a state of drought for years, snow over the ag sector, and plunk a data centre here! Canada needs data sovereignty, but the environmental toll will be fierce. This part of SK is a nonsensical choice.

Lisa Watson 🇨🇦 @lwatson-ca.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
I hate their environmental devastation, but if Canada wants any level of data sovereignty without reverting back to 1990s level tech we could use a few data centers.

I think I was surprised because I would not typically think to compare a Canadian conservative to a democrat. I assume they thought of as comparable to republicans at best and whatever they seem to be devolving into at worst. So it seems we agree.

Just because they declared they brought it, doesn't mean it was allowed into Canada. For individual travelers to bring raw meat into Canada, it has to be commercially packaged and be from a select set of countries that does not include Egypt.

Entirely fair. I think there are all too many Canadians anticipating the worst and willing to cringe and convince ourselves we have some small semblance of hope to stave off WW3 through those handshakes until we build a network strong enough to give us the luxury of choice.

Continuing to carry the cost of the leftover inventory is an expensive sunk cost. Getting it out of warehouses and off the books and donating the proceeds to local charities is something I am happy to get behind.

Manitoba has also subtlely acknowledged the economic benefit of hosting data centres and they have the cleaner energy and higher volumes of water to make them viable.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built. Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

Carney has a PhD from Oxford. I think he knew exactly what he was doing with his MOU and the impossible bar it set in terms of First Nations and BC agreement. The rest is a delicate balance between immediate trading partner diversification and longer term sustainable economic growth.

Why can so many Canadians not understand we are in both an immediate economic and sovereignty crisis and a long term climate and economic crisis and it is entirely rational for a government to compromise and develop a long term strategic plan to deal with both at the same time? #canpoli

Without even reading the article, they need our water. When drought and wildfire are spiking and harming our existing industries and municipalities. We can't afford to burn one plus litres of our fresh water per query. Nowhere on the planet can.

Out of curiosity, why did you think the liberals pushed through the Trans Mountain pipeline under JT? To sit unused? #ElbowsUp is a grassroots movement. #CanadaStrong was an economic diversification platform that is being delivered.

It's really pretty funny. Hoekstra threatens to inconvenience the few still traveling to the US to punish those who have chosen not to and will be blissfully affected. Another example of the US government great business sense.

You know what's never gotten enough attention, imo? In the PM debate when PP dodged MC's question about security clearance? When everyone was asked about what they saw as Canada's biggest threat, Mark Carney basically gave a one word answer. "China."
