This is the most important, most brilliant, and most well written thing you could read today. If you’re an Albertan, or a Canadian, and read nothing else, fine. Just read this. Goodness me. Every word. readtheline.ca/p/clarke-ries-…

When Americans get inspired by Canada’s Mark Carney… while some parasites here attack him and their leader says Carney doesn’t understand economics!!! 10 min worth watching. Inspiring. 🇨🇦

@l_stone @erinotoole . I’m glad he is being given the nod by PM Carney. ✔️✔️✔️

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new advisory committee on Canada-U.S. economic relations has been announced. To be chaired by Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc. #cdnpoli

I’m a Conservative… but I’m begging us to get serious. I’m begging on my knees for someone else to write his speeches. We can disagree with Mark Carney all day long on policy. Fair game. Necessary, even. But saying the guy has an “illusion of knowledge” is like saying Connor McDavid has an illusion of being able to skate. We don’t win by pretending competence is fake. We win by proving we can do better.

Ont student attendance linked to marks. Don’t get too excited, parents will simply “approve” the absence voiding any negative mark consequence. Hence the outcome will be more mark inflation. #IMO

Pierre will NEVER change

NCAA now competing with NBA salaries to “keep one and done’s” in college.

@sarobertsonca Suspend taxes on high fuel costs would help but, it also means #Trump doesn’t have to be #accountable. Trump = tariffs + high fuel costs + higher cost of living.

Pierre Poilievre calls on the government to suspend all fuel taxes until 2027: "A policy that would save 25¢/L, about $20 a fill-up and $1200 for the average family of four between now and the end of the year."

#Trump speaking at his news conference today, is like me writing a 500 word essay in high school. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Trump’s options to save face is ever closer to being only a nuclear one. I think this concern is percolating in many people’s minds today, after POTUS most recent expletive filled post aimed at Iran.

@Roman_Baber @MarkJCarney GPT response to your three points.

50% of Canadians celebrating Easter will be able to afford dinner. 25% can't afford Easter Dinner. Another 25% will buy Easter Dinner using Credit Card debt. It's shameful & unacceptable! 🇨🇦 The Liberal Government & @MarkJCarney are directly responsible for this catastrophe.

@govt_corrupt You should start an Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune. # MontyPython

The Esso around the corner from me is selling gas for $1.87/L. On the reserve, it’s $1.42/L. Gas prices would drop prices by $0.45/L just by removing taxes like HST and the federal gas tax, but they won’t. It’s almost like our govts enjoy watching us suffer.

@MelissaLMRogers 🙄

Canadians are stuck paying almost $2.00 a litre for GAS, meanwhile CANADA just sent $51 MILLION to Ukraine 🤯

@RosieRocks28 While theoretically possible under very specific and rare circumstances, receiving Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) on the same day it is requested is highly unlikely due to the mandatory legal safeguards and logistical requirements in Canada.

Why can you get MAiD the same day you request it in Canada but not an MRI?

@bruce_barrett I have no doubt that Prime Minister Carney personally donates to many charities. #Values #dontjudgeothers

Mark Carney has box seats at the Ottawa Senators game today. Currently we have about 2.2 million visits to food banks per month. There’s the have-nots in Canada and then there’s the have-yachts.

@apenandanapkin @UConnWBB @GamecockWBB @TexasWBB @UCLAWBB Also, refs shouldn’t “protect” players. Coaches talk about accountability, make the players be accountable.

I coached women's basketball for 27 out of my 28 years, so this is important to me. Four things, to be clear: 1. I did not watch @UConnWBB vs. @GamecockWBB 2. Whatever happened between Geno and Staley was not good. 3. I did watch @TexasWBB vs. @UCLAWBB 4. I don't have a dog in the fight. I literally could care less who wins the natty. Most are focused on Geno and Staley. To me, the bigger story is the poor offensive basketball, largely spurred on by officiating that has allowed overtly physical defense. 62, 51, 48 and 44 points. By this history teacher's math, that's an average of 51 ppg. That is not good for the game. I get that the players can be tight/nervous, the scout is on point and sometimes teams have bad nights, but I've also seen and coached enough ball to know when the physicality is detrimental to the game and the product. That happened last night, by most unbiased accounts. I'm not saying they're shouldn't be physicality. I also don't want to see a 110-108 layup drill. You can allow for some physicality while also allowing for flow and freedom of movement. Grabbing and hugging off ball cutters, putting two hands on dribble drives or wrapping up a player trying to post up is not entertaining nor good for the game. I also don't believe in the argument of "we want the players to decide who should win". Basketball is and always has been a game of offensive skill, not about who can out-shove the other team. There's other sports for that . . . Just call the game it was intended to be officiated. If it's a foul, call it. Don't allow teams to foul 100 times because they'll only call the most obvious 15-20. If they foul 100 times, call it 100 times. The players and coaches will adjust. These teams are awesome. The players are awesome. The coaching is top notch. But this is the game's biggest stage; let's put players in a position to display what they're capable of and, more importantly, to entertain and grow the game. 62-48 and 51-44 with a 20-17 halftime score won't grow the game. It will only stunt it. There. That thud you heard was me jumping off my soap box.

It’s tiring explaining that no matter how much oil 🇨🇦 has, or how many pipelines across our country, Canadians will always pay the global market price. #WTI #TexasCrude

@MadelnCanada As long as Canada trades oil on the open market, we will pay world prices for oil products. Just like Americans do. We can change the taxes we add to the cost, but that is about it.
