Who is this Ninja? If you guessed anyone other than Carney's latest patronage pick you're wrong. Janice Charette is now Canada's chief trade negotiator for the high-stakes CUSMA review. She has zero experience in actual trade deals, tariffs, supply management battles, or staring down U.S. negotiators. She's a career bureaucrat. Twice Clerk of the Privy Council, High Commissioner to the UK, lots of deputy minister gigs in health, immigration, and HR. In other words, a pure "Ottawa insider" resume, but not one day negotiating trade with Trump 2.0, Mexico, or anyone else. This is just another loyalty reward from Carney. She served under Trudeau, helped usher him in, and advised on his transition team. Now she gets the plum job steering Canada's biggest economic relationship during a tense review. Because nothing says "advance Canadian interests" like putting a lifelong leech with no trade experience in the driver's seat. Classic Ottawa, where competence is optional, but connections are mandatory.
Nearly all Alberta Tory MPs are declining to comment on the province's separation talk, saying they do not want to give it more oxygen, and don't want to undermine Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's chances of forming government in the next election. hilltimes.com/story/2026/02/…
Congratulations to President Trump on successfully arresting narco-terrorist and socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro, who should live out his days in prison. The legitimate winner of the most recent Venezuelan elections, Edmundo González, should take office along with the courageous hero and voice of the Venezuelan people, María Corina Machado. Down with socialism. Long live freedom.
I think crossing the floor to another party without triggering a by-election to let voters have their say is wrong. Separately, if this means the LPC's zero-tolerance approach to welcoming pro-life MPs into their caucus has changed, then that would be a very positive development! (would love to know what some of the more strident progressive Liberal activists think of it though...)
"Those who are complaining about this the most are louder the farther away they get from the smoke." Lisa @lraitt tells @MooreintheAM that she and her fellow Nova Scotians understand the need to restrict people from entering the woods as wildfires burn across the Maritimes.
Agreed. Being cautious due to dry conditions and possible wildfires makes sense. Banning walking in the woods, and threatening penalties of $25,000 per incident, is beyond the pale.
