it’s unacceptable that our public broadcaster would fund something like this
Lindsay Shepherd@NewWorldHominin
I found out recently that I was deceived by social activists in an elaborate scheme dating back to January. A production group with what I now know has a fake name and fake identities gave me a friendly interview about my book A Day with Sir John A, and about Sir John A Macdonald, back in Feb. They connected me with a fake company called Heritage Figures Canada with a fake website and "hired" me to perform consulting work for them. We had what I now know were fake meetings, fake documents, fake commercial shoot, fake prototype of a Sir John A collectible. Then in a second filmed interview last week, they turned on me, and it was revealed to have all been a setup in order to demonize Sir John A and smear me. It turns out this is a taxpayer-funded CBC and APTN project. There is so much more, I will make a video. They also deceived @FrancesWiddows1

x.com/spaikin/status… If this were a Conservative politician, every mainstream media outlet would already be publishing hit pieces comparing him to Trump for questioning the election results and suggesting they were rigged. But you won’t hear word, because their boss endorsed him.

The fact that the central Cdn media do not seem to challenge the Liberals on this objectively, comically and irresponsibly nonsensical claim is sadly - not a great surprise. Please send me some evidence to the contrary and I will share.

Not a single purchaser of crude oil in the world asks nor cares about the carbon footprint of the barrel, instead is 100% focused on accessibility, affordability, and reliability. I do not see how we overcome this massive misunderstanding which underpins all ongoing negotiations.

Took me more than an hour to get to Woodbine from downtown.
Earlier today my trip from Vaughan to downtown was close to 90 minutes.
That is double normal travel time.

Imagine that. The country with the resources might actually build something again.
Let’s go! 👏

Today Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and I made significant progress towards reaching an agreement on a west coast pipeline and carbon pricing that will protect Alberta ratepayers and businesses, and result in hundreds of billions of new investment in the Alberta and Canadian economies. Although there is still some work left to be done to get to the finish line and ensure the interests of Albertans and our industries are properly protected, I am now much more confident this will be completed well before Alberta’s west coast pipeline submission to the Major Projects Office next month. Stay tuned Alberta :)

If you are wondering why CEOs are getting more pointed, it is because they see the enormous opportunity laying at our country’s feet, but our political leaders are still not bending down to pick it up.
Let’s act with some urgency for once. Let’s attract some @%#! investment.

To say the thing: Canada and the US can win together. Anti-US rhetoric in this country is doing untold damage.
It doesn’t have to be this way. We can make different choices.

🇨🇦 Bring it home 🇨🇦
New Tank Talks with @JonLoveKingSett, founder of @kingsettcapital , one of Canada's largest private equity real estate platforms.
His thesis: Canada doesn't have a capital problem. It has a permission problem.
👇We dug into:
The $25B Canada Strong sovereign wealth fund
Tim Hodgson's Major Projects Office and the 5-10 shovel-ready projects promised by spring 2027
Why institutional capital is finally coming home to Canada
And on real estate:
Triple-A office is quietly the strongest asset class in the country
For-sale residential is in pain, but a sharp recovery is coming
Office-to-hotel conversions are just getting started
The capital is here. The talent is here. The opportunities are here.
What's missing is permission to build.
Worth your time if you care about where Canada actually goes from here. (Links Below)

The most charitable reading of the honorable minister's statement is that the $6B that the expansion of the Canadian Journalism Labour Tax is over 5 years or $1.2B/year
The CBC's funding is $1.38B/year.
This would be the largest expansion of state-financed media since 1952.

Last week, I wrote about government plans to provide millions in tax credits for news operations of giants like Bell and Rogers. Now Culture Minister @MarcMillerVM says “it’s not a question of if, but how” and put a potential price tag on it. $6 BILLION?! x.com/mgeist/status/…

good chat. important for people to realize that while trade is an acute fight, we must not lose sight of the chronic battle we face against talent and capital flight

Kelly, I could not be more proud of you.
Going from sleeping on a park bench to sitting in Parliament, from homeless to the House, is a journey that inspires everyone to overcome.
You’ve been a professor, project manager, and parliamentarian.
Scars are the trophies of our survival, and triumph over adversity is a superpower. Nothing can stop you now.

Jesse Kline: Carney's 'sovereign wealth fund' an admission of Liberal failures nationalpost.com/opinion/jesse-…

We have long been advocates for a Canadian sovereign wealth fund. The Canada Strong Fund announced today by @MarkJCarney is not your traditional SWF.
They are typically funded through surpluses, not debt, and focused on diversifying away from the revenue stream that funds them.
This is more like a war bond – but instead of investing in debt, Canadian’s can buy equity in the projects that the government is working to get off the ground.
Our memo for a sovereign wealth (published Apr 2025) offers a different vision. Here's what it could look like.

We are watching developments closely – we will share details as we have them.

I’m an eternal optimist and will always want to highlight good progress.
But the more I sit with yesterday’s economic update, the more concerned I get.
1. This government is falling into the trap of focusing on messaging and optics over outcomes. Claiming the new investment fund is a Sovereign Wealth Fund when it’s clearly not is a prime example.
2. There’s a concerning approach to shifting numbers to make our financial position look better than it is.
Most Canadians will miss this, but this government has adopted an approach of presenting figures that show on all-government net debt-to-GDP ratio is at just 10.2 percent while in reality it sits at 75 percent of GDP. The 10.2% figure only works when the assets held by the Canada Pension Plan and Quebec Pension Plan are subtracted…. funds that appear on no government balance sheet and are not available to any level of government to pay off their debts.
3. Spending is still out of control and is leading to rapidly growing interest payments. Our debt is growing so quickly that interest on debt is now the fastest-growing government program, expected to cost more than $80B in four years.
4. There is still no action on the well known, fundamental ways to boost productivity: capital gains and corporate tax reform; aggressive red tape reduction; and bold opening of protected sectors to competition.
Without these reforms, Canada is cooked. Our productivity will continue to slide regardless of the other efforts we make, no matter how well-intentioned.
