@ShawnBinda @thatCdnGal Cool. Well if it’s always been done, why is it in the news?

Nice try. Let me Google that for you: The province of Ontario launched the Heritage Languages Program (HLP) in 1977. It provided funding for up to ~2.5 hours/week of instruction (after school, weekends, or limited extended-day) when there were enough students (e.g., 25+ requesting one language in a school). By the late 1970s–1980s, this covered dozens of languages, including Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Greek,Ukrainian, and others. Enrollment grew quickly (tens of thousands of students province-wide). Classes were often run in partnership with community organizations, but the school boards received provincial money to pay teachers/facilities.

I grew up in Etobicoke in the 1980s and 1990s and lived there right up until I got married. All my childhood friends were Italian, Portuguese or Polish. Do you know what they did on A Saturday morning? The attended languages classes in our schools-where they learned Italian, Portuguese and Polish. The real issue is their skin colour. So call it what it is.

@CanuckWc @ExnerPirot @_Steve_34 She’s merely pointing out the inequality this scheme will create by generating investments for government selected companies involved in these projects. It will interesting to see how they tender inclusion into such a fund.

@ExnerPirot @_Steve_34 Maybe stop focusing on how it will go wrong …. First and foremost is the investment to catalyze projects with fed $$. Some return for that enabling investment is not unreasonable…sounds like it is like a royalty which is used for oil and gas.

OK I am panicking now “Where there is at the heart of all these projects, including resources, provincial jurisdiction; where the federal government is catalyzing, helping to make the project happen through a tax or other incentive - regulatory support - and at the core there is a commercial business making a profit, it is fair, right, just, smart for Canadians to have a share directly in those profits.”

@godsmunny @25OPhoto @TheReclamare @TSnlop Interesting. I was wondering the same thing! So this is a standard in buffalo before every game?

@25OPhoto @TheReclamare @TSnlop Traditional in Buffalo because they are on the border and get a lot of Canadians attending games.

Tonight in Buffalo NY, the singers microphone stopped working. Listen to them. The CDN Govt wants us to turn our back on these people, and choose Beijing

@LPNewBrunswick @TheReclamare They aren’t playing a Canadian team.

@TheReclamare FYI, most people at a Buffalo hockey game are Canadians who cross the border for the dirt-cheap tickets ESPECIALLY when they're playing a Canadian team. Those aren't Americans singing the National Anthem (what, 1% would know the words?), they're Canadians. chuckleheads.

@hsnorth_ @FoodProfessor Ive read statements arguing for interest rate increases due to oil price increases. Make that make sense.

I think the criticism is a fair one, tho it’s not that* simple either. The point she is (I think) trying to make is: for the economy as a whole, lowering gas prices will increase demand, as cheaper gas means you can buy more gas and you can also buy more of other stuff too. It’s an economic boost - and this does* have an inflationary effect. She doesn’t explain that. And that’s also not all* of what happens. Lower gas prices also reduce the cost of production, and this has a disinflationary effect. So whether this results in inflation then depends on the extent of each impact, to simplify things. Things like the savings-to-spending ratio of a country, for one. All to say, unless you’re putting what leading economists (who monitor these factors) think on it to Poilievre, I’m not sure I’d bring it up!

During an interview on CTV News yesterday, anchor Renée Rogers asked Pierre Poilievre why he supports cutting fuel taxes if it would push inflation higher. Not only is that claim questionable—in fact, one could argue the opposite, that reducing taxes would ease inflationary pressure—but the question itself didn’t seem to come from the anchor. Renée is a solid professional. It felt planted, likely intended to destabilize the guest. I’ve experienced similar situations myself over the years. As a guest, I never dared correct the anchor out of respect. Instead, I would redirect the question and focus on what I believed mattered most to the story. This seems to be happening more often now, which is unfortunate. While Poilievre appears to have reached a point where he’s had enough of being held to account more than the government itself, Mark Carney tends to push back and correct reporters when he feels a question is either inappropriate or inconvenient. That’s the difference I see—and it points to a rather troubling state of affairs.

@fordnation @ONBigCityMayors What’s @cllrainslie doing

I welcomed @ONBigCityMayors to Queen’s Park today for a great discussion on how we can lower housing costs, get more shovels in the ground and support growing communities across Ontario.

@CanadianPM Zero attempt at keeping the dudes with guns out of photo lmao. Gangster

Prime Minister Carney spent time with students today talking together about our planet, and the ways we can all help protect it.

@melkuo @KevinVuongxMP Funny using the fire department. I mean, it adds spectacle but why not haul it to one of the city’s snowmelting sites?

someone has come and spent their own time and money to do something fun and special and that brings people together in an increasingly depressing and divided world. and the city is shutting it down. this is just so emblematic of the thinking of our leaders –appease the vocal minority, bring in the rules, stamp out any sense of fun or innovation.

@CDNPolicyHawk The mentioning of going to the moon in the announcement and zero mention of satellites could be the issue here.

If you just need to be in orbit (any orbit), launching from the equator is easiest. But if you want satellites that pass over Canada (and therefore provide services to Canada), you're better off launching from Canada.

@Polymarket Lemme guess, we’re gonna launch from Cuba?

JUST IN: Canada introduces legislation to establish domestic space-launch capability instead of relying on the U.S.

@Morgan_C_Ross Harper is an “economics guy”. Now with Carney at the helm, who are his “economic guys”?

Carney and Flaherty being his economics guys at the time

@sara_scruton @CityNewsTO Most travel from Canada goes to Newark or LaGuardia

@CityNewsTO Cancel flights to New York (JFK) due to high fuel charges, but expand flights to China? make it make sense!

Canada expands direct flight access with China in bid to boost trade, tourism. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/04/20/can…

@FoodProfessor So what % will food inflation be

We expect food inflation to decline in March, likely falling below 5%...

@TheJobfather__ Career coach 👏👏👏

Way too many people blame Chow and way too many people back in the day blamed Miller. When all of Toronto’s problems can be traced back to Lastman, Tory and Ford.

@DrJStrategy Canada’s choice to be made is weather or not we trade with countries that employ carbon tariff schemes on imports (EU, China) or not. But Carney isn’t telling us that.

Food for thought. PM Carney is feeding reality to Canada in bite‑sized pieces and asking the country to listen carefully, not applaud politely. He is saying, in plain language, that Pax Americana is dead, CUSMA carve‑outs are favours not rights, and an economy wired to a bygone, post‑war order will not pay tomorrow’s bills. President Trump’s America First agenda forces not just Canada but the entire world to reprice its assumptions about the U.S. and to adapt to a superpower that is openly prioritizing domestic industrial capacity, productive capital investment, and secure critical supply chains. Trump’s National Security Strategy is explicit about confronting China and re‑asserting control over the Western Hemisphere, and Canada sits squarely inside that frame. In that context, pipelines, LNG, critical minerals, and tidewater routes to Asia and Europe are not optional; they are the hard leverage Canada has avoided building for too long. As Secretary Bessent has warned, the objective is to de‑risk, not de‑couple and those are very wise words Canada needs to heed. The good news is that Carney is right on the fundamentals: Canada actually has what the world wants, reliable energy, critical minerals, food, water, and stability. The question his statement poses is brutally simple: what is Canada going to do, concretely, to turn that endowment into strategy and bargaining power? That answer will not be found in virtue signalling, communiqués, or climate press releases; it will be found in permits issued, pipelines built, ports expanded, and supply chains to Asia and Europe that actually move molecules and metals at scale. His underlying message is that this is no longer the comfortable post‑Second‑World‑War era in which Canada could plug into a stable U.S.‑led order and coast. The basic architecture of Canada and Europe economy was built for a world of that is gone. What now sits in front of Canada is not a tweak, but a rebuilding: a structural change that demands we realign our economy around our own strengths, resources, geography, and infrastructure, rather than around assumptions about a permanent Pax Americana. If Canada is serious about its goals in this new era, it will prove it not with slogans, but with concrete in the ground and tankers at tidewater.

@TimothyStallwo6 @KaiserLoengramm @Babygravy9 Imagine “taking your American roots seriously” while calling someone a “muppet”.

@KaiserLoengramm @Babygravy9 Imagine stanning for the fuckin CIA. You absolute muppet

Imagine going to Coachella so you could see the Strokes play that song that goes “Last night, she said… something something,” but instead you have to watch a PSA about Patrice Lumumba and the Belgian Congo. So embarrassing.

@sarobertsonca God Rosie is such a pig

ROSIE: It does sound a little bit like you're in denial that the majority has happened. SCHEER: If anyone's in denial, it's the government that is refusing to accept the results of the last general election.

@mapleblooded Carney looks good in a red hat

Mark Carney inserts himself everywhere. It’s obnoxious. These players did not want him in that room.

@hankparmstrong @401_da_sarpanch lol this is not white collar crime

@401_da_sarpanch Should be 20 years. White collar crime is way too easy in Canada

@CDNRadioFan @Sufimindtricks2 @eggoslug One would think Quebecs contempt for nobility would keep them out

@Sufimindtricks2 @eggoslug BS. Taco Bell wasn't out, there are still some. And if you think that, explain Burger King?

I just find it really funny that KFC is still KFC in France but PFK in Quebec
