This is what we call a major misstep in politics. Poilievre will never recover. Conservatives are why we can’t have nice things. Any forward momentum that benefits constituents is met with defiance by the CPC.

I note the retirement of Michael Rousseau as President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada. I thank him for his years of service and his contribution to maintaining Canada’s position as a leader in international air transportation. The Government of Canada will continue to work closely with Air Canada’s leadership and Board of Directors to ensure the airline provides safe, reliable, affordable, and bilingual service to all Canadians.

The Alberta and Saskatchewan NDP would be wise to consider a name change.

Today, the federal New Democratic Party selected its new leader. It is clear that the direction of the federal party under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government, is not in the interests of Alberta. Last year, Alberta’s New Democrats voted overwhelmingly to make membership in the federal party optional. Many thousands of our provincial members, including myself, are not members of the federal party. We are a big tent and welcome the support of people who vote for every federal party. We believe in Alberta and we believe in Canadian energy and the good jobs it creates. We believe in more pipelines and in reducing emissions. We believe in strong public services and a strong jobs-driven economy to help pay for them. This is what we are fighting for every day. Albertans deserve federal leaders who understand the importance of Alberta and our essential role in the federation. Our focus is not on what the federal NDP says or does. Our fight is with Danielle Smith and the separatist UCP. Albertans deserve a better government, and we are here to be that better government.

It has come to my attention that today is Day Three of the 2026 NDP leadership convention and that yesterday was Day Two. I feel terrible about the mix up given the seriousness of the event and the gravity of the moment—so I've gone back and compiled some highlights from Day One.

Avi Lewis on moving away from fossil fuels: “No one ever bombed a factory full of sunlight, JP. No one’s ever gone to war over the wind.”

Absolute panic in Washington. Marco Rubio whines that Iran is planning to permanently control the Strait of Hormuz and charge a toll. He admits the US is powerless to stop it alone and begs the rest of the world to step in. Iran has completely outsmarted the American empire.
