I don’t like the constant comparison with the US, but this week their VP talked about how terrible we have it here in Canada:
CNBC on the July jobs report: "Minus --minus! - 23,000 on non-farm payrolls. That would be the second worst number of the year ... revisions -- another whopper! Minus 103,000 ... average hourly earnings -- big miss!"

Seems like Mr. Lewis is stuck in 20 years ago, or maybe in the US. With an stagnant economy, you can’t afford ignoring such projects. You have to move the economy forward first, otherwise you end up cutting social benefits & services. His talking points apply to the US’s economy, not Canada’s.

Yeah I hate him even more than Trump. Our dollars, unfortunately, go south all the time. Our talent, our wealth. Maybe we should do something about that.

The amount of work I do is unreasonable. My daughter needed me full time these past two weekends, so I’ve had to make up for the time I had allocated to my research by staying awake during the week. I’m so tired! I need my mom. Haven’t seen them in 7 years. That’s another story…

#POLITICS Big congrats to #Canada's new governor general, @umontreal.ca law alumna Louise Arbour! Did you know her hero is ... #Tintin? She talks about that and more with our rector, Daniel Jutras: nouvelles.umontreal.ca/en/article/2... #cdnpol #UN @un.org @crisisgroup.org @mark-carney.bsky.social

At home with Louise Arbour
After more than 2 decades traveling the world, Arbour has settled down by a quiet Laurentian lake. With UdeM rector Daniel Jutras, she looks back on her life shaped by law, justice and global affairs.

PC is polling too high but the vote split between OLP and ONDP is also ridiculous. With such a split we’ll have to deal with Ford forever!

Did the Liberals at least push back in a meaningful way? Or did they just respond with some nonsense again? They never call them out properly with facts and references.

Some real chowerheads in Canada have been spreading the idea that Mexico is on the cusp of getting some mythical tariff-free side deal with Trump, insisting that Ottawa needs to go cap-in-hand to avoid getting left out. Meanwhile:

How is an inflation of 2.4 out of control?! Even after the gas price increase that is completely an external factor? 2.4 is well within the target of all major central banks.

It was said in the presser that the cost is roughly $2B and is balanced by the gains (from royalties) of higher oil prices. Also, this the excise tax, GST remains.

That’s an ideological position, and I respect your opinion on that. You commented on minority vs. majority. I generally prefer minority governments. But in this particular time, under attack from the US, with a very destructive con party that is obstructing instead of opposing, I want a majority.

Please don’t get your news from headlines. No CSA’s budget was not cut by third! Annual budget is stable. There was a one-time grant for the Artemis (~$2bn) which was allocated and spent. I had a small contribution to the project, so I know. You can see that if you compare the budget to before 2024.

Mary 🇨🇦 @marythemuser.bsky.social · 14/04/2026
It took the parliament 7 months just to implement the 2025 budget, in March 2026! Conservatives were constantly filibustering the committees. Do you think in these exceptional times we can afford that? Government hasn’t been able to do much. This was much less expensive than a general election.

I don’t think we should put too much weight on the percentages. It’s quite possible that the conservatives and the NDPs just didn’t show up for the two Toronto ridings, as they were super safe seats. So they’re like, what’s the point!

The 12 year olds at the Pentagon had a cool new missile they wanted to use. It explodes a few feet above the ground & shoots out little tungsten pellets, killing everyone nearby. They used it to bomb a sports facility where girls were playing volleyball. Killed 21 people. In your name.

It’s the job of politicians to answer questions. If they don’t, we chastise them, as we should. As I mentioned, there has been multiple statements through official channels, by both PM and MP Anand. Not just a single one. So I just don’t see the problem here.

They did release a statement. Right at the beginning of attack on Lebanon, and a couple days after.

How exactly is NATO participating in invasion of “Lebanon”? Come on please read the name if the country! The other poster says Iraq instead of Iran, you’re clearly referring to Iran. But the statement is about Lebanon.

While we’re on it, the fact that he can’t see such an obvious issue that is damaging the company’s image, doesn’t give me confidence in his abilities as a CEO either.

They can, and it is mandated. It’s called the Air Canada Act. The company naturally agreed to it when it became privatized. All communications should be public. He could have easily asked a VP or whatever to issue a French statement and avoid this whole controversy.
