We could hammer out a solution to the entire Canada-U.S. trade dispute in 10 days, says the Prime Minister who has decided not to go to the bargaining table for 5 months.

The new polling results show that Naheed Nenshi and the NDP would lose EIGHT SEATS in Alberta if an election were held today.

David Knight Legg@KnightLegg·
Canada’s Chief Justice Richard Wagner has installed a lifelike bronze bust of himself in our highest court. It should be called ‘Narcissus Canadiannus” - There is no precedent for something this vulgar in the history of the Court. It should be taken down. Richard fancies himself. - Richard also fancies his own opinion on things. He violated legal due process and the Courts reputation by publicly accusing the Convoy - who protested backwards federal Covid policies that were soon dropped of ‘anarchy’ and ‘hostage taking’. Now that the Convoys freedom of speech, assembly and due process rights have been asserted by lower courts the Supreme Court has to consider the appeal of the federal govt and weigh the rights of citizens against the decision of the federal government to impose the Emergencies Act to suspend those rights. Wagners lack of judicial discretion in the first instance makes his recusal from such an important rights-defining case important because it signals not just fairness in the content of the decision but in the way the decision gets reached by the highest Court. He has already shown his bias. Any decision against the convoy poisons the integrity of the Court if he remains present. But Richard - the man with the bust of himself in our Court - doesn’t imagine himself under the law he imposes on others. He hasn’t completed any graduate work in law or published any academic work in law, philosophy or jurisprudence so it’s hard to know how he justifies himself in these matters. Ironically, he has a reputation for warning others - including those far more qualified in formal jurisprudence than he is - not to critique Canadian judges like himself or their (increasingly bizarre and politicized) decisions. But, from the Magna Carta onwards, Richard should know that in law as in politics dissent is democracy. The dissent of the Convoy and the growing critique of Richards own bizarre behaviour and inability to articulate a judicial philosophy is exactly what’s needed to save Canada - and the Court’s reputation as a place where justice - not the ego of the Justices - is at stake. Richard should recuse himself. And remove that vulgar bust from the Supreme Court. #SCC #RuleOfLaw

Chief Justice Richard Wagner is refusing to recuse himself from the Emergencies Act case, despite previously calling the Freedom Convoy the “start of anarchy” and saying protesters “took citizens hostage.” He has clearly shown his bias. Now he says there’s “no reasonable apprehension of bias.” That’s a problem. You don’t publicly characterize one side in those terms, then turn around and sit in judgment over them. This isn’t about whether he believes he’s impartial, it’s whether a reasonable person would. Do you or I believe him to be unbiased with everything we currently know? From his comments I don't see him as unbiased on this matter. When the Chief Justice has already framed the conduct as “anarchy,” the answer isn’t complicated. It's a given. Even Mahmud Jamal stepped aside in another case to avoid becoming a distraction, not because he had to, but because public confidence matters. That’s the standard. This isn’t just about one case, it’s about whether the public believes the process is fair. Because once that’s gone, the ruling doesn’t matter. No one will believe his "findings." And we currently have a government that are happy to ignore 'bias' in their favour if it adds momentum to their current goals. #onpoli #cdnpoli

Canada’s problem with Alberta is not just who is in power. It is the structure itself. A Liberal government ignores Alberta. A Conservative government may slow the damage. However, Independence is the only path that actually fixes the problem.

Energy Minister Tim Hodgson: "The pipeline that the president approved is at a very early stage. ... We've seen in the past the U.S. approves pipelines and then cancels pipelines. We can't develop our trade strategy on that assumption."

I’ll have some exciting news to share this week. As many of you now know, after 25 years of writing for La Presse—entirely on a volunteer basis—the newspaper decided to “pause” our relationship last month following comments I made about how government tax credits may be fostering editorial bias in parts of the media landscape, often favouring the governing Liberals. Just agreed to write for a new outlet, with my first piece coming out this Wednesday. More details to come—stay tuned.

The @OsgoodeNews professor, now @FedCourt_CAN_en judge, who said Blacklock’s (unsubsidized) was a “bully” because we caught 15+ federal departments sharing passwords and cut ‘n pasting stories across the public service without payment or permission. @JusticeCanadaEN @MinJusticeEn

Newly appointed federal judge once portrayed government as a victim in ongoing litigation to defend news media paywalls. “If they pay up, then it’s sort of like conceding to a bully.” — Giuseppina D’Agostino, September 16, 2016 @financialpost

After a year promising to build at "speeds not seen in generations," Mark Carney gives us the dithering dribble about maybe, possibly, probably, but not certainly allowing a pipeline.

🇨🇦 Ottawa didn’t “cut the deficit.” They pulled roughly $5.3B out of the federal Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP) — including ~$2.5B from a newly declared “surplus” and another ~$2.8B already extracted — to make the books look cleaner and artificially lower the deficit. 📉 That “surplus” was just 1% of PSPP assets (~$3.4B), created by actuarial smoothing, temporary return strength, and lower pension inflation assumptions — not some miracle in fiscal management. 🧾 So no, this wasn’t budget discipline. It was an accounting maneuver using worker pensions to flatter the deficit today… while taxpayers inherit the risk later. 💵 #cdnpoli #Canada #Budget2026 #Pensions #Taxpayers #FiscalPolicy #Ottawa

🇨🇦: something extremely f*cked up is happening with federal worker pensions, and taxpayers will be on the hook. Since the supervillains in charge won’t explain it, I guess I will. Here’s how 🇨🇦 is looting ~$3B from gov workers pensions & dumping the risk on you. <thread> 🧵👇

There’s 100,000 trades people out of work but the government has no problems spending $6 billion to train another 100,000. What are these people going to be doing? Hopefully unions see this for what it is.

Alberta independence is gaining ground with students. The more young Albertans learn about equalization, Ottawa’s attacks on our energy sector, and how little say we actually have, the harder it is to defend the status quo. Independent Alberta is no longer a fringe idea.
