"This decision now stands as binding precedent. It places real legal constraints on future governments and ensures that the Emergencies Act cannot be repurposed as a political convenience. It restores the act to what Parliament intended: a narrow, exceptional tool, not a blunt instrument against dissent. The government spent millions defending the indefensible. It lost completely. And in doing so, it handed Canadians one of the most important civil liberties rulings in a generation. That is worth celebrating.” @cvangeyn nationalpost.com/opinion/christ…

It's this stupid project wherein Europeans who don't don't know anything about Canada but want to imagine we're "like more them" because they hate the US, find common cause with our prime minister who also hates the US and wishes he didn't have to share a continent with them.

So when will be officially changing the talking point from "Energy Superpower" to "Energy Colony?"
cbcwatcher@cbcwatcher

Heather Exner Pirot "We have an opportunity to be an energy superpower, but instead we're choosing to be an energy colony of the United States again." Poilievre "We're never going to cut our American allies off of our energy." Tasker "The Trump administration is warning Canada against using energy as leverage in the CUSMA Review. But with the president's tariffs pummeling Canadian steel, autos and lumber, that's exactly what the government is preparing to do." @ExnerPirot @JPTasker

Un buon atto simbolico per rafforzare la cooperazione con il Canada sarebbe la ratifica del CETA, visto che l'Italia è tra i paesi che non ha ancora ratificato il trattato e che nel Parlamento, ormai, anche i partiti che erano contrari (come Fratelli d'Italia) ora sono a favore.
Giorgia Meloni@GiorgiaMeloni

Oggi, a margine del Vertice della Comunità Politica Europea di Yerevan, ho avuto un colloquio con il Primo Ministro del Canada, @MarkJCarney. L’incontro ha permesso di verificare lo stato di attuazione del piano d’azione per la cooperazione rafforzata Italia-Canada, con particolare attenzione ai settori dell’innovazione tecnologica, della sicurezza e della difesa. Nel corso del colloquio, abbiamo ribadito piena sintonia sulle priorità in ambito G7, a partire dalla resilienza delle catene di approvvigionamento dei minerali critici e dal contrasto al traffico di migranti su cui abbiamo concordato di restare in stretto contatto in vista del Vertice di Evian. Abbiamo, infine, approfondito i principali dossier dell’agenda internazionale, riaffermando il comune impegno per una pace giusta in Ucraina e condividendo l’urgenza di una soluzione per la necessaria stabilità del Golfo e la tutela della libertà di navigazione nello Stretto di Hormuz.

The government defends this path (as Champagne did) by pointing to growth-enhancing capital spending, economic resilience, and Canada’s net debt position internationally. The persistent deficits lock in higher future taxes or service cuts for younger generations. The raw arithmetic shows steady annual debt additions of ~$60 billion on average, with interest becoming an ever-larger driver Canadian youth are on the hook

Mind boggling debt numbers shrugged off by FP Champagne. Champagne is asked about Pierre Poilievre's remarks that under Carney Liberals, Canada's Debt is expected to rise to $1.6 Trillion He says "Well, let me help him a bit with the math." So let's help Franky with the math (from his own figures) ▶️Average per year (2025–26 to 2030–31): ~$60 billion added to debt annually. ▶️Cumulative addition over these six years: ~$362 billion. ▶️This puts federal debt (accumulated budgetary deficit basis) at ~$1.63 trillion by the end of 2030–31, exactly matching Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s cited figure Interest on debt is the fastest-growing expense line, rising from ~$54 billion this year to $80.9 billion by 2030–31 (over 2.1% of GDP). By the later years, the government projects an operating (primary) surplus — meaning all new borrowing would technically be for capital/growth investments (infrastructure, housing, etc.), as Champagne. However, the total deficit remains positive because interest payments still exceed that surplus. (see reply for charts) @FPChampagne

FP Champagne is asked about the PBO report and offers baloney Champagne hasn't released details of the Sovereign Wealth Fund but has the audacity to claim that he has "So on the saving sides, we provided details, we fixed the objective with respect to the sovereign fund." Claims he has found "found $60 billion of savings." Also no details Take his and Carney's word for it. The press always does @FPChampagne

New Parliamentary Budget Officer, Annette Ryan's, first report finds problems with the Government’s Major Capital Priorities The most damning part is the housing section, particularly the PBO's assessment that the govt's flagship Build Canada Homes (BCH) initiative is on track to deliver far too little supply amid declining momentum "Since Budget 2025, housing starts in Canada have continued to lose momentum... The PBO estimates that BCH could add approximately 26,000 units over five years, which would be insufficient to achieve the previously targeted pace of homebuilding." Defence: The long-term 5% of GDP commitment by 2035 lacks a year-by-year profile. PBO projects it could mean $159B in core spending in 2035–36 alone, adding $63B to the deficit that year and boosting debt-to-GDP by 6.3 points. This flags massive future fiscal risk but is framed as an estimate of an ambitious goal rather than current failure Infrastructure/Major Projects: Slow progress (e.g., biggest LNG projects not at final investment decision; Major Projects Office not yet releasing scorecards against its 2-year mandate) Productivity: Flat labour productivity growth (well below historical averages), with measures too new to show impact @PBO_DPB

Davos brain. This is what happens when you spend too much time in 5* hotels talking to EU elites: you don’t notice you’re on a moribund continent that can only regulate because it no longer innovates. And he must be aware of how hostile a European-led world order would be to Canada’s most valuable export, because he spent years in Europe helping design the rules to kill Canada’s energy market.

Canadian PM Mark Carney: It’s my strong personal view that the international order will be rebuilt — but it will be rebuilt out of Europe.

The days of mincing words in Canadian O&G are over: “Unfortunately, while both governments have taken steps toward this critical national interest objective since signing the MOU, the pace of change has been slow, and we are at risk of letting this opportunity pass Canada by.   Because of complex regulatory processes, uncompetitive carbon frameworks and fiscal systems that do not incent growth, there has not been a major new greenfield oil sands project sanctioned in Canada since 2013 and investment has dramatically declined.” oilsandsalliance.ca/news/the-time-…

In this speech he mentioned the "strategic partnership". Here are the EU's recommendations to strengthen the "strategic partnership" passed in March. Under energy it says: "foster cooperation with Canada as a key partner for energy security and call for the expansion of the EU-Canada High-Level Energy Dialogue to develop joint actions on hydrogen, other sustainable low-carbon technolgies, critical energy infrastructure protection and sustainable trade in energy"europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document…

@cbcwatcher Of course the first thing Europeans raise with Carney is not energy. They know Canada physically cannot currently deliver, thanks to the Liberals sabotaging the O&G industry over the past decade.

PSA: Bridger Pipeline Expansion could be built and operational in roughly 2.5–3 years (late 2028/early 2029). A comparable new pipeline to tidewater in Canada (Pacific coast for overseas export) would typically take 8–15+ years — often a decade or more from proposal to first oil
Tom MacInnis@tommacinnis

NBC Summary on Bridger: Trump grants Presidential permit to Bridger Pipeline Expansion. The project envisions a 36-inch-diameter pipeline carrying 450 mb/d of Canadian crude over 645 miles from the U.S.-Canada border to Guernsey, Wyoming (a key Rockies crude hub). The route follows existing rights-of-way for 435 miles in Montana (across counties like Philips and Carter) and 210 miles in Wyoming (Crook to Platte), minimizing costs and risks. On the Canadian side of the border, SOBO refers to this as its Keystone Prairie Connector project. SOBO is evaluating after engaging shippers on long-term commitments; we suspect there will be good commercial appetite for additional Canadian egress. Note analyst Pat Kenny suggests the market appears to already be discounting Prairie Connector in SOBO current valuation, risk as you will but directionally perhaps suggests broader confidence the project is likely to proceed. Downstream from Guernsey (near capacity), flows could link to SOBO’s Keystone at Steele City for access to Cushing, Oklahoma; Patoka, Illinois; and Gulf Coast refineries. Alternatives include expanding the Pony Express pipeline (400-500 mb/d capacity) to Cushing. This initiative could reshape Canadian exports, boost PADD 4 flows, and enhance Guernsey's logistics role; A project like Bridger & Prairie Connector would further complement other Canadian export expansion efforts from ENB (Mainline Optimization Phase 1 150 mb/d by next year, and Phase 2 potential of 250 mb/d by 2028) and TMX’s proposed increases (via drag-reducing agents).
