If nothing changes, the federal deficit will reach $117Bn by 2035. The deficit is neither temporary, nor is it under control. That's the message @Gabgiguere1 and I carried to the federal Finance committee earlier today. #cdnpoli @iedm_montreal

People keep rewriting TMX history as if Kinder Morgan simply “got greedy” or Ottawa heroically saved a perfectly functional project. That is not what happened. Kinder Morgan suspended non-essential spending in April 2018 because the project had become a legal, regulatory, political, and financial minefield. Kinder Morgan explicitly stated the problem was ongoing BC opposition, uncertainty around the ability to build through BC, and unacceptable risk to shareholders: transmountain.com/news/kinder-mo… newswire.ca/news-releases/… BC was actively fighting the pipeline politically and legally: cbc.ca/news/canada/br… At the same time, multiple First Nations and environmental groups launched court challenges against the approval process: fca-caf.gc.ca/fca-caf/eng/co… Then came the massive legal setback in 2018. The Federal Court of Appeal quashed the federal approval entirely in Tsleil-Waututh Nation v Canada because: - marine shipping impacts were improperly excluded from the review - Indigenous consultation was legally inadequate Court decision: decisions.fca-caf.gc.ca/fca-caf/decisi… Legal summaries: stikeman.com/en-ca/kh/canad… nortonrosefulbright.com/en-ca/knowledg… That forced the federal government to restart major portions of the approval and consultation process. Meanwhile, the Liberals were also changing Canada’s broader regulatory framework. Bill C-69 replaced the old NEB regime with the Impact Assessment Act, creating broader federal review powers involving: - climate impacts - social impacts - expanded consultation - wider ministerial discretion - broader project assessment triggers Legislation: parl.ca/documentviewer… The Supreme Court of Canada later ruled major parts of the Impact Assessment Act were unconstitutional because Ottawa exceeded federal jurisdiction: decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-cs… Legal analysis: mcmillan.ca/insights/publi… bennettjones.com/Insights/Blogs… So yes: - Ottawa eventually bought TMX - Ottawa carried the financial risk - Ottawa ultimately completed the pipeline But pretending the investment environment was not a regulatory and legal disaster is revisionist history. No rational private company wants to invest tens of billions into a project where: - approvals can be overturned years later - consultation standards keep evolving - provinces openly fight the project - litigation reaches the Supreme Court - federal rules keep changing midstream - and political risk becomes impossible to price That is why private capital stepped back and Ottawa had to nationalize the risk to get TMX built. That is the actual history.

Where Carney explains that his plan to put a big new carbon tax on Canadian steel won’t cost people because…he says… people don’t really need steel. This is up there with “the budget will balance itself.” He is Just Like Justin: justlikejustin.ca/mark-carney/

The Winnipeg lab controversy should have been a wake up call. Two scientists were escorted out of Canada’s highest security infectious disease lab after concerns about undisclosed ties and the transfer of deadly pathogens to China, raising serious questions about oversight, transparency, and foreign influence in sensitive research environments. If reports of CCP-linked clandestine biolabs operating on North American soil don’t raise serious alarms, what exactly does? Canada’s political class keeps talking about China as a “strategic partner” while we deal with foreign interference allegations, police station concerns, IP theft issues, and now disturbing questions around unauthorized biological research. Maybe “strategic partner” should mean trusted ally, not recurring national security headache. At some point naïveté stops being diplomacy and starts becoming negligence.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr.@MrJohnJnr

EXPLOSIVE REVELATION: FBI raid of an unlicensed biolab in a Las Vegas home linked to the Chinese Communist Party, found thousands of vials of blood and tissue. Genetically engineered mice were designed to carry COVID. Tests showed the vials contained COVID, hepatitis and malaria. FOLLOW ME, FOR THE NEXT DROP!

Prime Minister Carney keeps forgeting to mention that the 20 signed MOUs are non binding. NOTE: Under PM Chrétien, Canada led "Team Canada" trade missions to EMs like China, India & Russia, resulting in the signing of hundreds of MOUs. OUTCOME: A landmark study by UBC's Sauder School of Business tracked these agreements and discovered they generated NO statistically significant increase in bilateral trade or export volumes.

Pierre Poilievre participated in the Free Iran rally in Vancouver. In front of tens of thousands of Iranians and their allies, he called for regime change in Iran and for making Canada safe from IRGC terrorists. “We want no more IRGC. No more regime officials on Canadian soil. Kick them out of Canada! And we need regime change in Tehran.” Thank you @PierrePoilievre for standing with the people of Iran. A free Iran will benefit Canada as well. 🦁🌞🇨🇦

A 🧵: My dad used to say that a Prime Minister’s most important job is maintaining the support of his caucus. Today we learned that there is descent within the government caucus. It is the responsibility of the Prime Minister to deal with these issues….

I think she already has. She’s given them a clear path to a vote on separation and they’re rejecting it already. She’s let them highlight now unserious that guy in the hat really is.

So let me get this straight….CBC has a copy of the letter but they’ve decided to protect the MP’s who signed it?!? Is CBC even pretending to be a balanced media outlet anymore? Last week, CBC got caught lying to a Conservative MP so he would unwittingly be part of their gross spoof. This week they are proactively protecting Liberal MP’s who actually wrote this letter. This is indefensible and I will never listen to anyone who says that CBC isn’t biased. Canadians deserve better!
Brian Lilley@brianlilley

14 Liberal MPs write a letter critical of Carney. CBC gets it and writes this. "Despite signing their names at the bottom of the letter, the MPs do not want to be publicly identified," CBC writes. No names released. This would not happen to Poilievre. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

@RickAnderson @trevorrjparsons Amongst the many stupid things you post this is the dumbest. Eleven years of federal Liberals is causing this anger. You show your central Canada blinders with moronic statements like this.

A regime accused of foreign interference, transnational repression, forced labour, and diaspora intimidation should not get a veto over Canadian transparency. Mark Carney called China Canada’s greatest national security threat. Now he is keeping his policing deal with Beijing secret. What is Carney hiding? t.co/carlSYc8a5

@DimitrisSoudas Let’s be clear Ottawa did not recruit them the Liberals did. I don’t think the City did this.

I’ve said this before, and I’m going to say it again, because nothing has changed. I said it about the sovereignists in Quebec. Now I’m saying it about the ones in Alberta. The federal Liberals have created more separatists than the people actually leading the separatist cause. Let that sink in. The folks running the campaign for separation could not recruit as well as Ottawa has recruited for them. They’ve handed them the best argument they’ve got. And this isn’t a fluke. It’s a pattern. When you spend ten years treating a province like a problem instead of a partner, this is what you get. Policy after policy that lands like a punch. An economy told it’s the villain of the story. You do that long enough and people stop getting angry and start getting serious. They stop complaining and start asking a different question. Would we be better off on our own? Once ordinary people are asking that out loud at the kitchen table, something has already broken. I watched this exact movie play out in Quebec. Years of Ottawa talking down to people, and the separatist numbers climbed. Now look at Alberta. An idea that used to sit on the fringe is suddenly something a real share of Albertans say they’d consider. That didn’t come from the premier. That came from a decade of being ignored. So here’s my honest suggestion to the federal Liberals. Sit this one out. Your party did enough damage over the last ten years. This is why we are where we are today. If you can’t say something positive, if all you’ve got is another shot at the premier of Alberta, then please, just stay out of it. You’ve helped enough already. 🇨🇦
Corey Hogan 🇨🇦@coreyhoganyyc

STATEMENT ON PROVINCIAL ADDRESS The Premier of Alberta intervened to lower the threshold for getting a separatist question on the ballot. She then intervened to eliminate a review requiring the question be constitutional. She intervenes again tonight after yet another court has told the separatists to slow down and follow the law. The premier can wrap these actions in the words of democracy, but she is willfully ignoring the will of the vast majority of Albertans who want no part of this separatist conversation. The simple reality, a reality you would not find in her speech, is this: she has pushed along a question because a group has threatened to bring down her and her party if she does not. Her internal political problems have become our national crisis. The Premier asserts her patriotism. I will take her at her word, but I will remind her a patriot puts country ahead of party. A leader steers the agenda, rather than having it blindly dictated to them. An Albertan finds ways to do what’s right, not justifications for doing what’s wrong. This baffling, referendum-on-a-referendum question will do nothing to settle anything. It adds another layer of confusion. It will divide. It will distract. It will damage. I hope her government will consider how to step back from this madness before the damage to our province’s social fabric and economy is too great. Corey Hogan MP Calgary Confederation

Your tax dollars were used by the CBC to target, harass, and humiliate retired RCMP officers. This is a new low. The CBC must answer how this was allowed to happen, and apologize to the retired officers they involved.
NPF-FPN@npffpn

RCMP Members and Veterans were intentionally tricked into critical and humiliating interviews for a taxpayer-funded CBC/APTN production. We are calling for an immediate halt and a full inquiry into how this was approved, funded, and executed. Read our full release: npf-fpn.com/news-item/rcmp…
