So Carney is saying that Brookfield is moving back to Canada, right?
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
PM Carney: "Many of our former strengths, which rested on our close ties with the United States, have become our weaknesses now ... And while we have overcome the initial shock of the betrayal, we must never forget the lessons it has taught us. We must take care of ourselves."

@thewarylemming @Aaronpete_ It's literally a repost of a video clip with no editorial. Your partisan brain is more dangerous than quote posting a benign primary source.

@Aaronpete_ Starting a post while referencing "Juno news" is disqualifying. They're not a real news organization - they're propaganda. Says a lot about you that you are following and quoting them

Here’s my issue.
If you were crossing the floor as an honest person, you’d layout your reasons, and act with humility that this is controversial, and try to get as much public support as possible and try to justify your decision.
What we’re seeing is a political class making jokes about it, making light of it, and not taking concerns for Canadians about this seriously. Even if you think it’s legitimate to cross the floor, surely, you cannot defend the poor decorum these individuals are showing.
Then, I see the people speculating as to why there’s so many, and some raising questions about incentives being offered, pressure being put on, and back room deals being made.
The public absolutely has a right, and perhaps a duty to speculate when our concerns are not being treated with respect and being answered candidly.
If the goal, is to achieve a majority government, which it obviously is, then they are doing so by trying to avoid going to the constituents to seek that mandate.
If 10 MPs are considering crossing, then we should just do an election.
I think this is indefensible at this stage.
As a First Nations Chief, I seek the mandate from my people, and for those who don’t like the decision our leadership makes, I seek to address their concerns.
I am not seeing that response from this government, and for that I am extremely disappointed and concerned.

WATCH MP Chris d'Entremont says he's unsure whether to describe himself as a "recovering Conservative" or someone who was a Liberal all along. The three-time Conservative MP is among several MPs to cross the floor in recent months.

I'm a lawyer and a member of the CBA. The entire profession has been overrun by over-educated activist upwardly mobile careerist liberal women who sincerely believe that "gender issues, racial equality, equity and diversity" are completely uncontroversial unquestionable consensus issues, their understanding of which constitutes the ideal form of "human behavior".
A huge proportion of the communication that lawyers receive from the CBA and their professional regulators focuses on these issues, instead of, say, actual lawyering.

@jamiljivani @colewhogan You are incredibly disingenuous, and your relationship with the Trump government and the president in waiting is not the asset you think. Two more points your Bible stunt in the House and your mini Eric tour tells Canadians all needed to know about you , your party @jamiljivani

Stop trying to please your insincere Liberal detractors. To them, the only good Conservative is one who poses no threat to Liberal power and control.

@JoshDehaas They have no compunction taking huge sums of cash from public institutions because to them public institutions are the only legitimate ones.

UBC hired NDP Leader Avi Lewis and his wife Naomi Klein as professors even though neither has a master’s or PhD.
Lewis was paid $92,000 in 2024-2025. He taught one course.
Klein was paid $277,000. She taught a graduate seminar & co-taught a second-year course.

@timthielmann @TheReclamare Any successful claims to public lands should also be valued as they were at the time of dispossession. There is no reason to compensate bands for colonial improvements to the land and its surroundings.

Shocker: Poilievre won’t show leadership by calling for constitutional amendments to extinguish aboriginal title. He’s just chasing the hysteria over private property. He should promise to end every aspect of the reconciliation power land, and money grab.
Juno News@junonewscom
Poilievre on the Cowichan Tribes ruling: "A B.C. Supreme Court judge declared that Aboriginal title includes private property—covering 800 acres in Richmond valued over $1B." He warns broader claims could cover up to 12,500 km², with 95% of B.C. considered unceded land.

Most of the noise is from people who can’t stand Poilievre. But ask any of them and they’ll tell you they didn’t vote for Sheer or O’Tool either. Ignore them.
Pierre has to stick around for the next election. The silver lining to all of this craven subversion of democracy is that the election won’t happen any time soon.
English
@TLNewmanMTL Does everyone have amnesia? The Tories were appalling prior to Poilievre. If people want to claim that he's somehow inadequate, they can begin by telling us who, exactly, they prefer.

This doesn't square at all with his recent support.

At this important moment for our country’s future, Canadians with a broad range of experience and perspectives are uniting to build Canada strong. I am honoured to welcome Marilyn Gladu today as the newest member of this government and our Liberal caucus.
In a time of global economic uncertainty, Canada’s success will depend on how we build ambition into progress and strengths into sustained advantage. Marilyn brings the practical, results-driven leadership this effort demands.
Having spent decades of her career in engineering and international business, she understands what it takes to create good jobs, strengthen supply chains, and ensure Canadian industry can compete in a rapidly changing global economy.
She has been elected by the people of Sarnia—Lambton–Bkejwanong in four straight elections since 2015, and repeatedly earned recognition from colleagues across Parliament for her proven willingness to work constructively across party lines.
I’m looking forward to working closely with Marilyn to build a stronger and more independent Canadian economy, meeting the challenges of a changing world with lasting opportunities for all.

The occasional floor-crosser I can live with. But a flagrant perpetual campaign to entice enough traitors to secure a Liberal majority government? Talk about demolishing "norms".
Carney is playing with fire here. He's completely eroding confidence in the parliamentary system.
