These are the priorities Canadians actually care about — and Ottawa needs to remember them. From a retired local & regional politician, chair & campaign manager: Governance & Strategy can actually work. Decades working with private & public sector executives and boards proved likewise. Follow for evidence-based takes. #cdnpoli

Meanwhile passengers receive none of the money as fines are kept by CTA. The $400,000 fine paid by Air Canada goes to the Canadian federal government through the CTA, not directly to the passengers affected by the flight disruptions. Passengers must still pursue separate claims or compensation requests with the airline if they wish to be reimbursed for inconvenience or additional costs.

Correct on the China interference risks and our deep economic integration — the US and Canada remain by far each other’s most important trading partner. But Canada isn’t ‘owned’ by Beijing or Washington. We’re a sovereign G7 democracy that shares core values with you: democracy, rule of law, and free enterprise. That’s why the US-Canada alliance has endured for decades. Hegemony works best when it lifts capable, equal partners rather than absorbing them. We’re fixing our leadership and building resilience just like you’re clearing your 1,000 fronts. A strong, self-reliant Canada makes North American hegemony stronger against China — not weaker.

Correct. It will be China or us. Those are the options and Trump is marginalizing China in a way most people can't see yet. It's not about imperialism, it's about hegemony. The world is a better place when America's values, even with our flaws, are the primary driver of global policy and economics. There is a big picture out there that you are missing. Domestic problems are being cleared slowly at the same time as the foreign ones. You may not be familiar with our internal process here, but it's a 1,000 front war that is being fought across the country.

BREAKTHROUGH: The U.S. is open to building an oil pipeline from the Alberta-U.S. border to the west coast through U.S. territory, detouring around intransigent B.C. politicians and litigious Indian bands.
Rebel News@RebelNewsOnline

US Ambassador: “Put a pipeline down to the border… if Alberta wanted us to build a pipeline to the west coast, because they said we’ve got another 2M barrels of oil per day that we want to ship to Asia and Japan, I would think that we’d be very open to having that discussion”.

Even in sports where metrics are everything the supporting cast rebuffs accountability. The referees union is resisting; “League, owners also want change Along with the amended rate, the league wants performance-linked compensation, so that only some officials share in the bonus pool at the end of the season. They also want more communication during the offseason with an eye to optimizing referee performance. The owners also want to add accountability measures such as increasing the probationary period for new officials to five years from three years, and replacing the seniority approach to calling playoff games and replacing it with a performance-based system.”

By that logic the USA would be battling China to takeover every other country in the world. Imperialism is a dangerous thing to both the aggressor and the target. You have sufficient domestic problems with which to be occupied. Likewise, you have had more than one government, of either party, a nuisance to us. Heck, as both our countries have experienced we’ve each had leaders a nuisance to our own citizens.

Canada is owned. Whether politically by China or economically by us. You can't survive on your own. You are not in control, thus not sovereign. You exist at the good will of the people of the United States. We like the Canadian people, but your government has become a nuisance to us now. That can't stand anymore.

The Liberals are the biggest beneficiaries hence Carney did not stop this Trudeau initiative (all the same Ministers). This additional 1-2 million voters added will ostensibly increase foreign interference in Canadian elections. ElectionsCanada data does not track, break down, or publish any statistics on duration abroad, years living outside Canada, range, median, or related demographics for these voters. Only that international electors (101,690 special ballot kits issued abroad; 57,440 returned and counted on time).

That’s our Prime Minister. He’s not only an expert economist who is steering us through the most challenging conditions of our history… he’s a sports fan, a music fan, and appreciates everything Canadians are proud of.
Stephano🍁Barberis@HelloStephano

Love this guy! We’re so fortunate to have a PM who is in love with Canada, our people and our culture, unlike Poilievre, who spends his time on shows of US podcasters who hate our country. BTW, Poilievre wasn’t at the Junos.

@hollyanndoan @ParksCanada Rather than tear down existing monuments and historical sites or "re-imagine" them -- if deemed necessary to add to historical context then erect adjacent or nearby an aditional site or monument?

@adamscochran Meanwhile Canada gets hit on the flip-side by Gulf refineries discounting our crude —hurting our profits.

It’s actually Canada’s trade agreement with the US, where one of Trump’s sticking points was requiring that Canada cannot discount gas prices with its own oil. Even if Canada uses its oil reserves it must be market priced. So yes Canada - you can blame Trump, and should.
JayGen 𝕏 er🇨🇦@JayGenXer

🇨🇦💸To Canadians who are now looking at $2/litre (and rising). Before you blame it on Trump, here's a reminder. Canada has the 3rd largest oil reserves in the world. It's our Liberal Prime Minister who won't allow us to use them. Plus the Prime Minister before him had a decade to prepare for this, but also wouldn’t us to prepare nor prosper 11 years of planned decline! This was NOT by chance!

@adamscochran @shibby3235 @GasPriceWizard care to comment on the above tweet? Something tells me that Trump alone isn’t responsible for failed pipelines built during the last decade, for no refineries built in the last decade, for carbon tax, and for other taxes that make our gasoline prices higher. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@TheTorontoSun About the only thing for NDP unity with a controversial candidate, and if elected a divisive MP, who wins party leadership with 56% support on first ballot is it’s better than 56% on third or fourth ballot.

@MichaelChongMP *the PM being in the air and in other countries… I should add that not only does this PM avoid facing questions in the House, Carney also takes media entourages overseas without accepting any questions.

After a decade certain older cbc seniors are still in awe of the technocrat c/v so it fogs their memory of PMs attending the House of Commons. Meanwhile the younger generations having experienced diluted & deleted social studies & history classes remain mostly unaware. Many will assume the tone in the air and in other countries supersedes accountability and questioning.

PMs are appointed, not elected, in a Westminster system: They’re accountable to the elected legislature (Carney wasn’t elected on 25/3/14). If Carney doesn’t attend Parliament it’s not possible for us, the elected House, to hold him accountable. globalnews.ca/news/11750090/… #cdnpoli

There is a cowardice in the Left nearly succumbed to the illiberal ideology of the far-left. The PMs of UK Canada Australia risk‑management strategies are aimed more at preserving internal party & caucus harmony and staying in power than safeguarding their longstanding liberal‑democratic society.

Another one: “Mr. Speaker, The Prime Minister’s readout states he ‘emphasised the importance of ongoing parliamentary exchanges’ during his recent trip to the PRC. We’re now in a ridiculous situation where the foreign affairs committee and its members, which are under PRC sanctions, have been formally asked to invite and host their PRC counterparts, the PRC’s foreign affairs committee. Why did the PM not insist on reciprocity when he agreed to parliamentary exchanges, unlike the UK and the EU?” pm.gc.ca/en/news/readou… #cdnpoli

Maritimes were part of the original Confederation shortly after which Alberta became a territory carved out of the Northwest company then elevated to province. I lived all over Alberta from south to north to central and knew a few separatists even back then. Alberta has legitimate gripes just as other provinces with a common one the intrusions of federal government into provincial jurisdiction while failing on its own jurisdictional responsibilities. Our Confederation has its challenges. We will overcome. Alberta is integral to Canada and vise versa. Albertans will choose to remain.

New Brunswick is one of the poorest places in N. America...by choice. $200B worth of natural gas is locked underground due to a Liberal fracking ban. We could be one of the richest provinces in Canada, but instead we CHOOSE to be poor and kept afloat by Alberta. Let that sink in.
