Carney ended his speech today at the Liberal Party convention in Montreal talking about the flight full of Americans that was redirected to Gander, Newfoundland and welcomed by Canadians on 9/11.

The Concordian @theconcordian.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

"Canada's founding insight is that unity does not require uniformity." Carney talks about building a just society anchored in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms with “the right to choose,” allowing people to “believe what you want to believe,” and “love who you want to love.”

According to a Quebec government report, 35 of the 68 Montreal metro stations are in “bad” conditions or “very bad” conditions. The report painted a pretty bleak picture of the state of the Montreal metro’s infrastructure, as the STM warns it will only deteriorate without increased funding.
