For my latest @CDNAffairs piece, I travelled to Ukraine and spoke with three Canadians who are continuing to fight against Russia as the war drags on.

A few thoughts about my first bullfight …

@KeuranLindley Humans are innocent animals too…

@ForsterSam You are comparing an innocent animal to humans who make the choice to play a game.

Lots of of MPs switching teams lately. Strange! I spoke with @howardanglin and @AlexJMarland about the risks and rewards of crossing the floor. My latest for @CDNAffairs : canadianaffairs.news/2026/04/16/do-…

Thanks to @ForsterSam and Canadian Affairs for taking an interest in the evolving Asia LNG story and what it means for Canada. Pleased to contribute to the this piece alongside @ExnerPirot. The time to get LNG 2 and Ksi Lisims across the FID line is now.

@AsiaPacificFdn @MLInstitute

Great to speak with @ExnerPirot , @BingleyBarrett and @JapaninCanada about the potential for Canada's LNG industry to expand in the Asian market. 🇨🇦💱🇯🇵 Sharp insights on a critical issue.

@idiom_bytes I am quite interested in this project. Can you send me a DM?

When Trudeau stepped down as Canada's Prime Minister and Carney took over on March 14th, 2025 the talking point was clear: "This is a new Liberal Party." This statement quickly permeated through every news, political chatter, and online social media account out there. But even with the help of AI, this was a big challenge for the average person to make sense of it. And because these are big changes in government, with lots of data points and details, most people take it at face value. So, we created The Parliament Tracker. The Parliament Tracker visualises in great detail what actually happened, and what the numbers look like compared to every other major government since 1997. It enables you to understand major shifts in Canadian government by looking through different lenses that tell you a more comprehensive story. Let's dig in. @Canada @liberal_party @CPC_HQ @NDP @BlocQuebecois #cdnpoli #Parliament #Canada #OpenData #Carney #Trudeau #Liberals #CPC #NDP 🧵

Very excited to see this piece published by @ForsterSam in @CDNAffairs. A few months ago, I learned about a guy named Josh Cook who was pursuing an audacious and exciting goal: reviving his hockey career at the ripe age of 31, and going pro. Cook spent some time up in Iqaluit as a police officer. His experience was horrific: domestic abuse, suicides... “We bounced from call to call, and it was a shared constant feeling of being overwhelmed and just trying to make sure nobody died,” he said. Cook was then released by the RCMP for a PTSD diagnosis, leaving him adrift and searching for answers. He's now feverishly training to earn himself an ECHL tryout.

Canada once deployed thousands of troops to UN peacekeeping missions. Today, the number is measured in the dozens. I spoke with Canada's former ambassador to the UN @BobRae48 about the dramatic rise and decline of our peacekeeping role.

@MattPolProf Always a pleasure!

Thanks Sam!

It was great to speak with @MattPolProf and @MattDube about @avilewis and the state of left-wing politics in Canada. 🍊👀🇨🇦 Online for @CDNAffairs : canadianaffairs.news/2026/04/03/avi…

I am launching a startup decelerator. Some of you need to slow down and think about your actions.

As the world faces the specter of a generational energy crunch, Canada's nuclear industry is at a pivotal moment. I spoke with @Dr_Keefer about the massive opportunity to expand our reactor fleet and export our technology abroad. ⚡ 🇨🇦 🌎 My latest for @CDNAffairs : canadianaffairs.news/2026/03/23/can…

@OrrongHuntly so true

@ForsterSam If you know, you know. Otherwise you’d guess on the wrong continent.

Ottawa is appealing a court ruling saying its use of emergency powers during the Freedom Convoy went too far @ForsterSam reports: canadianaffairs.news/2026/03/17/ott…
