Cool, but couldn't he have said this years ago? Like before men were awarded gold medals for punching women in the face at the Olympics in boxing?

@petermansbridge @ChantalHbert @bruceanderson @CanadaTalks167 “language crisis”

A terrible jet crash quickly became a language crisis at the top of Canada’s national airline. What does it say about Canadian bilingualism? @ChantalHbert & @bruceanderson bring their thoughts. 🔊 on @CanadaTalks167, podcast platforms. 📺 on YouTube: youtu.be/ZlreszeZ194

@MegEBrock Did he speak up during his coverage of the Olympics?

“Common sense is not transphobic.” Listen beyond the first 20 seconds to hear Bob Costas drop an arsenal of truth bombs on why men should not be in women’s sports. For the record, no one should affirm any lies of transgenderism. He’s so close!

Bob Costas supports the IOC's decision to ban men from women's sports in the Olympics. The host of 12 Olympic Games broadcasts might have thought to weigh in before this game was decided!! Thanks a lot Bob.

Important transparency for Canadian workers to understand the cost of policies being pursued by the Carney government. Additionally, this does not include the cost to all Canadian taxpayers and the energy industry of building Pathways, the largest carbon capture storage project in the world, the price of admission for a new pipeline to the west coast. Canadians must have a fullsome debate on the costs and benefits.

In the last couple months, the government has: 🇹🇼 Yanked govt reps back from a Taiwan visit. 🇨🇳 Sought a new partnership with China to position us for the "new world order". 🇨🇦 Had a member of their caucus deny slave labour in China. Are these happy coincidences? #cdnpoli

Imagine you’re the CEO of Air Canada…. ….sleepless and dealing with a brutal tragedy in real time with vast US and Canadian media coverage - and your PM decides to hit you with a cheap shot saying you lack ‘compassion’ because you lack excellent French language skills. But you’re the CEO of a regulated industry so he knows you can’t punch back. Even though his own French is carefully stage-managed. And the Governor General can barely speak it. The PM chose to use a national tragedy to score marginal political points with the Quebec language police. Tone deaf and gross. Je veux dire, c'est grotesque et d'une insensibilité totale.

@ExnerPirot I think it’s incumbant for Carney to tell us what customer/ country wants these carbon captures and are they paying a premium for it? Also, what emission, carbon captures / carbon taxes are other countries placing upon their industries …….or are we just handcuffing ourselves.

Methane deal struck. Very positive. Still an agreement in principle and nothing finalized though.

It’s like watching a team finish dead last and still hold a victory parade. Look at what you’ve got there. Manitoba sitting at a D-, federal at a D, and Canada basically flatlining on per-person growth for a decade. That’s not a rough patch. That’s a pattern. Here’s the mistake most people make. They think leadership is judged on outcomes. It isn’t. It’s judged on narrative. If the story sounds good, the numbers get ignored. Wab Kinew sells empathy and intention. Mark Carney sells competence and global credibility. Nice packaging. Clean messaging. Sounds responsible. But the scoreboard? That’s where things get uncomfortable. Per-capita growth at 0.5% over ten years is economic stagnation dressed up as stability. It means people aren’t actually getting ahead. Just running harder to stay in place. And fiscal grades in the D range? That’s not “investing in the future.” That’s spending without discipline and hoping no one checks the receipt. Here’s the cynical truth. Voters don’t reward results. They reward stories that feel right in the moment. Short-term emotion beats long-term math. Every time. So you end up with leaders who are very good at explaining why things aren’t working… instead of making them work. Reframe it this way: This isn’t a mystery. It’s incentive alignment. If politicians are rewarded for messaging instead of measurable outcomes, you get more messaging. Not better outcomes. Simple. Next time you hear a speech, ignore the words. Ask one question: “What measurable result improved under this leadership?” If you can’t answer it in 10 seconds, you’ve got your answer.

The pipeline won't get built, since you won't find investors to expand production to fill it. That's because when you pile on carbon capture requrements, industrial carbon taxes, and stringent fugitive methane rules, that other jurisdictions don't have, the margin is not competitive on this oil. Not only do the federal rules make the oil low margin, but the consultation process in Canada for pipelines or oil sands expansion is lengthy and high risk, plus you'll likely have to give up some of the project to First Nations ownership to get the project approved. In short: why bother? Your investment has far more fertile ground to be planted in than a dysfunctional Canada.

Hodgson to Bloomberg "So that pipeline, the proponent of that's going to be the government of Alberta." Julie Fine "Your government supports a new oil pipeline to Canada's West Coast. But for that to happen, you've said that companies must build carbon capture in the oil sands." "You've set that April 15 deadline. Do you think you'll meet it?" Hodgson "We are in intense discussions right now." "I was talking with Premier Smith yesterday. I am confident we share a goal of building the biggest carbon capture project in the world." Curious to know which world leaders are asking Canada for this decarbonization in a time of crisis, other than crisis Carney? @JulieFineTX @timhodgsonmt @ABDanielleSmith

Any show that features guests and hosts who are politically and culturally aligned is doomed to become uninteresting and, worse, uninformative.

Clearly his security clearance didn't help him....

@sunlorrie @scoopercooper “At least …..that’s what my cue cards say?”

🤣🤣🤣 RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme says based on the information before him, there are no longer clandestine activities or transnational repression taking place in Canada that is linked to the government of India. ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…

London Has Fallen !! Crime Out Of Control !! It's a War Zone !! Oh, wait, as you were, here's Canada's PM Mark Carney, wife Diana Fox, President of Finland Alex Stubb and wife Suzanne Innes-Stubb running yesterday morning in Hyde Park with almost no security and not a care ...

Canada, with the 3rd largest oil reserves on the planet still imports 5-600,000 barrels of oil per day primarily from Saudi Arabia because Quebec refuses to agree to reverse flow an existing pipeline or allow any new pipelines so that Alberta & Saskatchewan oil can get to Irving refineries in NB. We’ll never be an energy supper power as long as we refuse to use CDN oil first & your @liberal_party gov refuses to use the federal powers you have to overrule QC’s opposition to putting Canada first.

I think it's some of the stuff about beheading people they disagree with that puts impartial observers off
