@alexstubb We really NEED your expertise on the Homeless problem. Convince them of your solutions.

Kanadassa mukanani on laaja yritysdelegaatio: 40 yritystä puolustuksen, teknologian sekä meri- ja kaivosteollisuuden toimialoilta. Suomella ja Kanadalla on yhteisiä intressejä taloudessa ja turvallisuudessa. Työskentelemme yhdessä niiden eteen. Yritysseminaarissa keskustelin teollisuusministeri Mélanie Jolyn kanssa elinkeinoelämän roolista taloudellisen turvallisuuden ja resilienssin rakentajana.

@1Sam28 @stinginroger0 @rparmar_BC BC Cons are the old BC Libs, just a few more zealot MLA's ONEBC tacked on. Now they have the correct name. But very similar policy's. The last stretch they were in charge, was a disaster for our Healthcare system, Senior & social housing, & our Forest Industry. Milobar be better?

@SteneLarry @stinginroger0 @rparmar_BC If you're a grandfather, it likely means you're 60+ so you're remembering how our health care USED to be. Yes it used to be one of the best systems. But past performance doesn't guarantee future results. The Liberals wrecked it by bringing in too many people.

Gordon Campbell’s record? Mass firings of health care workers and teachers. Privatizing public services. Deep cuts to mental health care. Austerity for working families. Gordon Campbell’s record is the BC Conservative playbook. #bcpoli

@1Sam28 @stinginroger0 @rparmar_BC Always a work in progress. The BC Libs under Falcon were closing Hospitals. Senior housing with a boomer gen coming was cut to the bone. Before Covid crushed us & still causing issues. 1% norm pop growth requires 400,000 immigrants yr, or Stagnate. 400 new docs/nurs from US-2026.

@DanAlbas The CPC uses a Junior B approach to Govt, under the present childish leadership team & the pathetic populism-misinfo Strategy. Give them half-truths, keep them angry. Time for the adults with decent resumes, in your Party lead the CPC. It's why the Liberals are crushing you.

So when the federal Liberal Government says no federal funding will be used to build BC Ferries in China and it turns out the fed. Liberal govt. is actually fully financing BC Ferries made in China is that "not responsible" according to the Minister? Or is that "different"?

@DanAlbas Dan? The local shipyards were full. Major orders for Ice-Breakers. To the extent no local shop even submitted a bid. Would have taken a huge influx of taxpayer's $ to increase capacity for orders, that will eventually level off. Saved $1B. You know this & still push the nonsense?

@KathrynMathias1 After bombing civilians. Doubt there's little room between the Iran folks & the IRGC. A little history. We (UK, USA, CIA) tried to steal their Oil-Still are. Backed a coup & installed a pliable Shah 1941-79, until they had had enuf & chaos. & They? Are the terrorists ever since?

A perfect example of how the CPC and the current govt under the LPC, differ. Don't let anyone claim they are the same. Our current govt gets that there's a difference between the IRGC (which they've repeatedly called out) and the Iranian civilians who need support. The CPC don't

@bsilly3 @BradWestPoCo Agree & no easy answer here. But if moving the Chlorine Plant, manufactured or stored, to any other Community, requires serious logistics. The gas is Deadly & does not disperse well. It sinks & waits for victims.

@SteneLarry @BradWestPoCo They put high density population development into the pre-existing industrial area, knowing the risk. The risk mitigation strategy appears to be to shut down the plant.

I often hear municipal colleagues decry the lack of seriousness with which they’re treated by provincial & federal governments - and then they make decisions like this. Chemtrade produces the vast majority of the chlorine used for water purification in western Canada & was subject of a disinformation campaign by an American rival. If our country ever wants to stand on its own two feet, we must have places for critical industries to operate. I would welcome Chemtrade, and the hundreds of family-supporting jobs they produce, to Port Coquitlam.

@stinginroger0 @1Sam28 @rparmar_BC As a Grandfather, who lived & worked across this fine Country of ours I could NOT DISAGREE with you more. Our Universal Healthcare guarantee with portability across Provs, IS the Backbone of our Nation. Give it up. Will be the end of our Unity. Most important Safety Net we have.

@1Sam28 @SteneLarry @rparmar_BC Exactly. What ever is happening now, is failing. I don’t know why people are so afraid of some privatization

@suestroud @rparmar_BC NDP have held the reigns for a while, now. Building our Future with the Nat-Gas, TMX, Mines, Sky-Train expansion, etc. We need a strong focus on our Forest Industry, especially in the Center & North of our Prov. Memory's get short. Minister Parmar. Don't let them forget.

@SteneLarry @rparmar_BC They dug the massive hole our #healthcare system is still digging out of. Ditto for housing. Ditto for education.

@onceagainmoore @nnamanichi93717 @BRICSinfo They are shadowing your fleet in the Gulf. The Chinese are fully capable of defending themselves. No one needs to attack the USA. Sadly & deeply disturbing, you appear to be destroying yourselves. This Admin's claims require some scrutiny. Rest of the Globe is aware of the facts.

@SteneLarry @nnamanichi93717 @BRICSinfo I didn't say anything about winning a war. I said China has no blue water navy. They are unable to project force more than a few miles from shore. The US defeated all the weapon systems that the Chinese sold to the Iranians

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 US Treasury Secretary Bessent says China will no longer be able to get oil from Iran.

@atrupar @SaraEisen Credibility can be a fleeting thing. @cnbc You there for your looks? Time to hold these simple-minded Conmen to account. Your Nation is actually relying on you to be an Honest Broker. This Crucial business channel is becoming a Fox News, by allowing such gaslighting.

EISEN: We are you so sure inflation will not creep higher? There's oil prices and gas prices, but we've also seen fertilizer prices rise, which could impact food prices BESSENT: Well, we've also seen a lot of things fall. We're seeing groceries start to come down, healthcare start to come down

@onceagainmoore @nnamanichi93717 @BRICSinfo Not sure where you source your info, but just do a simple Grok, or Google search. It is not 1980. NO one wins a war win China. Everybody loses. Would be foolish to try.

@SteneLarry @nnamanichi93717 @BRICSinfo 2million army that can't go anywhere but on foot. China has no blue water navy. They do not have a modern navy. It cannot stray far from their shores. They are a regional power in their corner of the world.

@Stubblejumper6 @trainofangels00 @JustinTrudeau @MarkJCarney Trudeau got two lines of Bitumen to the South Coast & a line of Nat-Gas to the North Coast. During a Global Pandemic. While you were complaining. Harper had 10 yrs without progress, brought in the Carbon Pricing. Not that the Party's are very different. It's the Team that counts.

@trainofangels00 Isn’t it interesting how @JustinTrudeau ‘s “no business case” has converted @MarkJCarney ‘s “ultra deep leverage”. The Lieberals have gas lighted Canadians. Canada cannot survive on taxes, it need $$$B’s in resource exports. Ottawa is full of self important dumba$$s

A few months ago, most observers believed the U.S. held a massive upper hand in trade talks with Canada, with stalled negotiations, Trump’s tariffs, and heavy Canadian export dependence making Ottawa look vulnerable ahead of the 2026 USMCA review. That has COMPLETELY changed under Prime Minister Mark Carney, who has assembled a top-tier negotiating team led by veteran diplomat Janice Charette and quickly delivered diversification wins, new trade pacts, and, as we all know by now, a very strong majority government. Canada’s ultra deep leverage in energy (70% of U.S. crude imports), critical minerals, and U.S. market access—once underestimated—is now extremely amplified by credible alternatives and cold, patient strategy, leaving the Americans in a VERY precarious spot: higher inflation risks, supply disruptions in key sectors, and diplomatic isolation as Canada builds alliances elsewhere. #cdnpoli #USMCA #Tariffs

@uzzell_cindy @maddenifico Education is a beautiful thing.

@maddenifico Fuck China....I mean Canada.

Elbows up, Canada! Congrats to PM Mark Carney on sweeping three special elections on April 13, 2026. This is a direct mandate to resist America's insane and incompetent buffoon. In several key ways, this is a rebuke of Trump.

@nnamanichi93717 @BRICSinfo 2 million men/women standing Volunteer Army. 20 more million in the reserve. Modern Navy & Airforce. Nuked to the hilt. Best choice would be for USA & China find a path to work together for all of us & the planet. May be our only chance. Don't see Western Leadership ready, Yet.

@BRICSinfo Don't get xi involved in this war or you'll regret, America has suffered more loss already and making China another enemy will bring you more harm

@JonMerleAbner @JasonLavigneAB Have you been? Worked regularily there over 20 yr span. China is a Socialist+>Capitalist Nation run by a semi Meritocracy, beholding to their folks. & it shows. Modern middle class thriving but having similar affordability pressures. They looked hard for the source. Inconclusive.

@SteneLarry @JasonLavigneAB CommunistCHINA created and released Covid19

Did you know that when Mark Carney’s signature first appeared on Canada’s $20 bill in 2008, that $20 had the buying power of $20. Today, that same buying power would require about $29.70. Put another way, today’s $20 bill only buys what about $13.48 bought in 2008. That is how much value Canadians have lost in the dollar since Carney first signed that note. The bill may still say $20, but its real value has been hollowed out. Source bankofcanada.ca/rates/related/…

@agrariangrrl @CJCau @JamesTate121 You are purposely blind if you think your Prov doesn't get Fed Health Educ Infras etc $'s & then you all come retire in the Okanagan. See how that works? No matter how one splits it, Ontario & Quebec provide the Lion's share. End of the day, those taxes are paid by all Canadians.

@SteneLarry @CJCau @JamesTate121 Your argument is falling apart. Healthcare is Provincial. So is Education. So is firefighting. Our village got money for a water treatment plant from the Fed, for which I am grateful, but Sask sends more money to Ottawa per capita and receives less GIS than other Provinces.

What was meant to be a show of force has spiraled into a full-blown agricultural disaster. T.r.u.m.p’s latest potash tariffs were designed to pressure Canada, but instead they detonated inside America’s own farming heartland. In an emergency meeting at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a senior Trump adviser reportedly admitted the unthinkable: the policy had backfired so badly that American farmers may not survive the growing season. Canada wasted no time. As the world’s largest potash supplier, Ottawa redirected exports to Asia and Europe within days, locking in billion-dollar contracts and tightening its grip on the global fertilizer market. One Canadian official mocked the situation bluntly, saying that if the U.S. doesn’t want Canadian potash, the rest of the world gladly will. On the ground in Iowa, the consequences turned personal. A U.S. farmer broke down during a live interview, explaining that without Canadian potash, crops simply cannot be grown at scale. The result is stark: Canada posts record profits and cements its status as the undisputed “fertilizer king,” while the United States loses control of a critical supply chain at the worst possible moment of the planting season. Analysts are already calling this the worst trade failure of Trump’s year — a pressure tactic that ended up crushing the very people it claimed to defend.
