This is why Canada is not a serious country. Thanks @CBCNews for your dedication to serious journalism.

@RaquelDancho As I understand it, there is no business case. Has to be true, the government said so.

Let’s get this straight: Canada has one of the largest proven natural gas reserves in the world. And we are importing the fuel from Australia. The Liberals’ failure to develop this strategic resource—and its supporting infrastructure—has left us dependent on others. This is a vulnerability. A strong, sovereign Canada proceeds from leveraging our superpower: this nation’s wealth of natural resources.

@Sportsnet Please, if you are going to force @NHLJets fans to listen to Harnaryan Singh, please teach him how to pronounce Mark Schieffle's name.

I worked for 20 years in "Big Ag" so you don’t have to. This is what they don’t want you to know: Farmers don’t have time for conspiracy theories. Romanticize farming all you want, but without modern tools, you’d starve. GM crops aren't frankenfood. They cut pesticide use, resist drought, and improve yields, all while passing some of the strictest safety checks in science. They are the least unknown crops. Your food is safe. Period. Pesticides are tested more rigorously than most medicines. Farming isn’t killing the planet. Modern farming uses less land, less water, and fewer inputs than ever before. Innovation is the solution, not the problem. Organic farming still use pesticides. Some are more toxic and less effective than synthetic alternatives, meaning higher doses are needed. If you really care about feeding the world and protecting the planet, focus on facts, not fear. My name is Simon and my goal is to make people smarter, not angrier. Drop a “Hi” in the comments and let me know if you have any questions about Ag!

@originalsteel Hopefully this speeds up the Salo to 1st pair, Demelo to 3rd pair trial.

4 to 6 weeks of Comrie behind Schenn and Stanley. Pray for him

What do you call someone who does this 😳

Years ago a $16 glass of orange juice made the Ottawa Press Gallery lose their shit on the Conservatives. Let’s see how they react to a $95 billion *mistake* in their budget projections. @CTVNews @CBCNews @globalnews @liberal_party

All Canadians should be able to agree on this.

Wise words “My name’s Frank. I’m 64, a retired electrician. Forty-two years I spent running wires through houses, fixing breakers, making sure people had light in their kitchens and heat in their winters. Never once did anyone ask me where I went to college. Mostly, they just wanted to know if I could get the power back on before their ice cream melted. Last May, I was at my granddaughter Emily’s school career day. You know the drill — doctors, lawyers, a software guy in a slick suit talking about “scaling startups.” I was the only one there with a tool belt and work boots. When it was my turn, I told the kids, “I don’t have a degree. I’ve never sat in a lecture hall. But I’ve wired schools, hospitals, and your principal’s house. And when the hospital generator failed during a snowstorm in ’98, I was the one in the basement with a flashlight, keeping the lights on for newborn babies upstairs.” The kids leaned forward. They had questions — real ones. “How do you fix stuff in the dark?” “Do you make a lot of money?” “Do you ever get zapped?” (Yes, once, and it’ll curl your hair.) When the bell rang, one boy hung back. Small kid, freckles, hoodie too big for him. He mumbled, “My uncle’s a plumber. People laugh at him ’cause he didn’t finish high school. But… he’s the only one in the family who can fix anything.” I looked that boy in the eye and said, “Kid, your uncle’s a hero. When your toilet overflows at midnight, Harvard ain’t sending anyone. A plumber is.” Here’s the thing nobody told me when I was young — the world doesn’t run without tradespeople. You can have all the engineers you want, but if nobody builds the house, wires the power, or lays the pipes, those blueprints just sit in a drawer. We’ve made it sound like trades are what you do if you can’t go to college, instead of a path you choose because you like working with your hands, solving problems, and seeing your work stand solid for decades. Four years after high school, some kids walk away with diplomas. Others walk away with zero debt, a union card, and a skill they can take anywhere in the world. And guess what? When your furnace dies in January, it’s not the diploma that saves you. A few weeks ago, that same freckled kid’s mom stopped me at the grocery store. She said, “You probably don’t remember, but you told my son trades are important. He’s shadowing his uncle this summer. First time I’ve seen him excited about anything in years.” That’s the part we forget — for some kids, knowing their path is respected changes everything. It’s not about “just” fixing wires or pipes. It’s about pride. Purpose. The kind that sticks with you long after the job’s done. So next time you meet a teenager, don’t just ask, “Where are you going to college?” Ask, “What’s your plan?” And if they say, “I’m learning to weld,” or “I’m starting an apprenticeship,” smile big and say, “That’s fantastic. We’re going to need you.” Because we will. More than ever. And when the lights go out, you’ll be glad they showed up.”

@RiseOfAlberta Help me understand how all of the container freight landing in BC gets to the rest of Canada without passing through Alberta. Either there is an agreement, or that traffic moves to the US ports. Neither are good outcomes for BC

Critics like to say an independent Alberta would be “landlocked” and unable to get its resources to market. That couldn’t be further from the truth. If BC ever refused to allow Alberta access to tidewater, we could simply stop supplying them with fuel. All the fuel in the Lower Mainland comes from the Burnaby refinery, which is supplied by the Trans Mountain pipeline. If Alberta shut off the taps, the entire Lower Mainland would run out of fuel in less than five days. An independent Alberta wouldn’t be landlocked. It would be highly leveraged in any negotiation.

Important context for the federal budget: - The federal public service has grown from 257,000 employees in 2015 to 367,000 in 2024. - This represents significantly faster growth than the private sector: public sector +30.4% vs. private sector +18.0%. - At the same time, government labour has gone from being 3.5% more productive than business, to 4.1% less productive... Continue reading in our recent paper, The growing government gap: Rising costs, shrinking returns, and the productivity crisis in the public sector 👇

The idea that an Independent Alberta will be “landlocked” is one of the most persistent myths out there. Here’s reality: ✅ 88.7% of our exports go to the U.S ✅ We fuel the West Coast ✅ We control key trade routes We’re not landlocked. We’re leveraged. #AlbertaIndependence

COVERUP!!! The Carney government was asked 7 times: Yes or no? Did Carney or anyone in his office see the Ontario govt ad before it aired. 7 times they refused to answer. Why can’t Carney answer a simple yes or no question?

Doug Ford brags that he’s got support from David Eby, Wab Kinew & Mark Carney That’s not a FLEX that’s a WARNING LABEL He’s literally celebrating the endorsement of the most LEFT & DERANGED people in the country What a CLOWN SHOW🤡🇨🇦

@junonewscom Instead of complaining about the US requiring documentation when Snowbirds cross the Border, perhaps we should be concerned about who is coming into OUR country. A country has the right to maintain security. Canada is just too Liberal to do it.

The Canada Border Services Agency cannot account for at least 32,000 illegal immigrants who evaded the agency’s attempts to arrest and deport them. junonews.com/p/senior-borde…

Top 10 things Liberals in Canada love: 1. Blaming Pierre Poilievre 2. Carbon taxes 3. Red tape 4. Men in women’s sports 5. Paper straws 6. Censorship 7. Photo ops 8. CBC 9. Bike lanes 10. Endless deficits What else? 😂

BREAKING: A top tax-avoidance expert says that Mark Carney's Brookfield EVADED over $6.5 BILLION in taxes, making it Canada's LARGEST TAX DODGER in the past 5 years.. Why isn't any mainstream media channel covering this? I guess it pays to be a Liberal.
