"Rather than contributing to Poilievre’s “Canada First” vision, leaders like Smith & Manning are pursuing regional defiance that threatens not only federal Conservative prospects but also the unity of the country itself." My latest on "Western Defeatism". jaredwesley.ca/newsletter

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Most Albertans love this country. We’re tired of being used as pawns in some loudmouth’s game of federal chicken. Manning and Smith can posture all they want. The rest of us are trying to raise our kids in a country that still works. #cdnpoli #ableg [9/10]

You want to help Alberta? Send people to Ottawa who know how to work with Canada—not threaten it. You don’t fix things by lighting the house on fire. You fix things by showing up, working hard, and building something better. #cdnpoli #ableg [8/10]

Preston Manning is now threatening national unity—not to fix Canada, but to bully it. If we don’t vote how he wants, he says the West might leave. That’s not leadership. That’s bullshit. Here’s a thread for anyone tired of being pushed around. #cdnpoli #ableg [1/10]

So here’s the situation: The Sask Party just extended a $60 million lab contract — without even putting it up for bids — to a U.S.-based company that: 👉 Is a donor to the Republican Party 
👉 Gave over $30,000 to the Sask Party Is the Sask Party on your side, or Trump’s?

🧵THREAD: Mark Carney just declared the end of America's global leadership. 🇨🇦 In a landmark speech, Carney said it loud and clear: “The system of global trade anchored on the United States… is over.” “If the U.S. no longer wants to lead, Canada will.” 1/

Only in Canada is it permissible — indeed, routine — to threaten to blow up the country if you don’t get your way. It’s an empty threat — secession is a practical impossibility — but because we indulged this fantasy for fifty years with Quebec we’ve encouraged others to try.

Well this is an interesting strategy. Is the Premier threatening a national unity crisis if her demands aren’t met?

An exodus has begun from the American Oblast of the Russian Federation (formerly the United States). Scientists, researchers, writers, intellectuals, artists and free spirits realize there are many other countries – with a better quality of life – where they will be welcome.

From Mark Bourrie's just published book, "Ripper," on Poilievre. "I think he's an angry teenager in the body of a grown man." PP is intelligent, a sound-bite maestro, Bourrie writes, but "the nastiest leader of a major party in this country's history." A political "goon."

Today @globeandmail revealed that every disastrous decision made in wasting $70M+ on Turkish Tylenol was made directly by Danielle Smith & the Health Minister. Not AHS - the UCP. They chose the biggest gamble as part of a political stunt & Albertans were left with the bill. I asked Min. LaGrange what she’s going to do to get back the $49M Danielle Smith got stuck as store credit with MHCare. #ableg

President Emmanuel Macron: "Today there is no discussion about peace. Today there is a discussion between the United States of America and Russia. And if I'm correctly informed, Russia has invaded Ukraine. Ukraine is not at the negotiating table. If Russia backs down, if Russia commits to a cease-fire in Europe, then we will see what the security guarantees will be. Then Ukraine, a sovereign country, will have the right to determine for herself what she needs for security. So we are going to proceed in the right order. We need to strengthen the European pillar, there is no other way. All we have to do is equip ourselves, arm ourselves and build a real European deterrent force to ensure peace in Europe, which is our goal."
Anton Gerashchenko@Gerashchenko_en

President Emmanuel Macron: "I am not in his [Putin's] head. I think the first thing we have to do is show our commitment. To show that we are determined to support Ukraine in her resistance. And secondly, to show that we are trustworthy on the day of signing the peace, so that this peace is strong and protected. When it comes to security guarantees, everything we do is aimed at protecting peace. Europeans are not belligerent states. In turn, Europe wants to protect peace on the Ukrainian land, on the eastern flank of the continent, as well as to protect peace in Europe and keep us from being attacked. If we are credible in this approach, I think it is a strong incentive for president Putin, a man who thinks through everything in detail."
