Today, we announced $270 million of new military support to Ukraine. Ukraine’s fight is our fight. Their cause — freedom, democracy, sovereignty — is our cause. Good to see President @ZelenskyyUa today in Yerevan. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

98 charges have been laid in a Canada Post mailbox theft investigation. Kulwinder SINGH, 35, of Chestermere and Jagroop SINGH, 27, in Calgary. When guests steal from you, you should kick them out and never invite them back.

@ryangerritsen Maybe this is a new version of “reconciliation” money, because they will make a killing.

Canada’s health Minister is now looking into banning the sale of tobacco products to anyone born 2009 and on. If passed they will be asking every single person for ID even as seniors. A 70 year old can smoke but the 69 year old can’t. Ya this is gonna work out great.

Do the #Oilers play McDavid or have him sit and hope they get to game 6 and the rest helps him recover for games 6 or 7? What would you do?

After having gone for a walk: 1) Big Idea. No details. See pattern. 2) I don't have a problem with projects being funded via more of an equity stake model vs. subsidy. If taxpayers are backing a project, taxpayers should get a direct return on it. But... 3) If our problems are rooted in internal sclerosis, red tape, and regulatory problems (they are!) then a fund is correcting for the wrong problems. Lack of access to capital is not the issue. Nobody has faith we can actually build stuff good. That's the trust that needs to be restored. 3a) Government is dumb money. We're bad at picking market winners and losers, especially where political motivation is involved. Sometimes a necessity, however. 3b) $25 billion is not going to buy you very much. 4) How is the hell is this "Sovereign Wealth Fund" actually going to be capitalized? If it's via debt and "catalyzed" private investment, well then, all you've announced is an iteration on the Canada Infrastructure Bank and CGF. 5) If Canada is planning to capitalize this fund on an O&G windfall tax in the middle of a separatist crisis, I will walk myself directly off a cliff.

Let's hope this translates into Albertan in the way the PM is intending.

Ok, I'm going to be blunt here: This isn't a "sovereign wealth fund." There's no commodity windfalls, no decades of budget surpluses, no Norway-style global portfolio preserving actual national wealth. It's a $25-billion taxpayer-seeded domestic development vehicle dressed up in SWF cosplay. And by funneling the cash into "nation-building" projects hand-picked by the PMO's Major Projects Office, (you know, like the "high speed rail" in Ontario-Quebec) it neatly supercharges the Exemptocracy: the inner circle grants fast-tracks, waivers, and regulatory mercy to the favoured few while everyone else gets the full weight of the rule book. Maybe it should be called the Canada Strong Patronage Fund — just don't call it a sovereign wealth fund. That term already has a meaning, and this isn't it.

Mark Carney, the catalyzing 'Unreliable Boyfriend' who flip-flopped interest rates at the Bank of England, hyped disastrous Brexit doom predictions that aged like milk, and pushed net-zero policies while his Brookfield buddies feasted on foreign pipelines... Now he's PM launching the 'Canada Strong Fund'? Translation: Build nothing but mountains of debt so Carney's fund manager pals can skim fat management fees and 'green' profits. Canada Strong? More like Carney's Cronies Strong Taxpayers get the bill, insiders get the yacht. Anchors up!... to the next tax haven🤣 Forward misguidance @MarkJCarney

Wife and I found an incredible house on 4 acres of land with a 3/4 acre pond. Significant upgrade from our current home/yard. My mother-in-law who lives with us (for free) wants to veto it because her room would be in the basement. My wife is taking her side. What do I do now?

You people are missing the point. We don't need the Americans. Carney has signed one of the largest trade deals ever in the world with the brics countries. We're diversifying trade away from Americans that will cause shortage of Canadian goods and allow us to increase our prices. Moreover, we should cut our oil deliveries United States and we should cut off all our electricity and hydro to the United States. Enough is enough
The Food Professor@FoodProfessor

"Canada is in a very weak position within CUSMA, whether we want to admit it or not. Mexico is likely to secure a deal with the U.S. first, again, leaving Canada to return to the table, make concessions it initially resisted—including granting greater access to its dairy market."

I am currently being scammed for $3,300 while using @StubHub @TeamStubHub for tickets. I bought my father (life-long Flyers fan) tickets to a SUITE for $3,300 for his birthday for Game Four this Saturday (tomorrow). The tickets were purchased Wednesday (prior to Game Three) and then subsequently transferred into my StubHub account, added to my apple wallet and available in Ticketmaster app (I have screen recordings of everything). After the Flyers won game 3, tickets for Saturday in the same suite as mine skyrocketed to $2,000 a piece (I bought ours for $1,000 each). I immediately knew what was going to happen next. I got a notification Thursday afternoon saying my tickets had been added to a new apple wallet. The seller had transferred the tickets out of my possession to presumably re-sell them for more. I have now lost access to my tickets via StubHub, TicketMaster AND apple wallet. In calling customer support, they confirmed the seller had transferred the tickets back and told me they have given the seller 24 hours to return the tickets. The problem? The game is in 26 hours. I’m supposed to wait 24 hours to see if the person who scams me gives me my tickets back? I was told this is a “protocol” and they cannot break the protocol. They also added that we would get comparable tickets or a refund within 24-48 hours if the tickets were never transferred back. The seller is on the west coast, which puts this time frame AFTER the game starts. Again, this was described as a protocol that cannot be broken. I asked if we could just fast track the comparable ticket protocol and get new seats now instead of waiting to see if the person who scammed us gives our tickets back in 24 hours, in which again I was told isn’t possible because of the protocol. The most likely outcome of resolution based off StubHubs’ protocol is going to be waiting 24 hours to see if the person who scammed me for $3,300 gives me the tickets back (which probably won’t happen as the tickets most likely have been already re-sold) and then given their protocol timeframe, we will only be able to get a refund as the game will have already started, so we cannot get comparable tickets. I tried reaching out via DMs and replies in which they HID my reply under their post (see screenshot). I am beyond disappointed in the way this situation is being handled. I hope this can be resolved and my parents can enjoy a @NHLFlyers playoff game.

@wooskyyy @NikoAiraksinen @unrulytem @Dexerto Poachers in Africa are generally African. What are you talking about? Rich old white guys pay big money to legally come and hunt. Those funds are the main source of funding for anti poaching
