I’ve been sitting with Mark Carney’s Davos speech. It’s not a sales pitch — it’s a warning about pretending the world still works the way it used to. transcript & video #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/lenispoone…

Canada’s China trade reset is coming into focus. Ottawa signals future auto access will favour companies that build here while export relief lands fast for canola/ seafood. Same deal, very different regional reactions. #cdnpoli #TradePolicy #AutoIndustry open.substack.com/pub/lenispoone…

Greenland isn’t suddenly strategic because of security — it’s strategic because climate change has made extraction, routes, and control profitable. Ownership sets the rules. That’s the story behind the headlines. #cdnpoli #USpoli #climate #economy between-the-lines.ca/greenland-isnt…

Canada isn’t facing a hostile United States. It’s facing an unsettled one — and that difference matters for trade, security, and sovereignty. medium.com/p/when-the-anc…

Free trade was sold as prosperity. Forty years later, we’ve lost industries, leverage, and much of our say. If a deal isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, why act bound by it? Food for thought from @readthemaple. 🔗 readthemaple.com/time-to-think-… #cdnpoli #Trade #Sovereignty

The rebellion isn’t in the streets — it’s in the mailbox. Families are done paying for the planet’s mistakes. 🌍 When the Bill Comes Due #ClimateAction between-the-lines.ca/when-the-bill-…

The federal government’s new Build Canada Homes program is a welcome step in tackling Canada’s housing crisis. I want to clear up a couple of misconceptions I keep hearing 🧵⤵️

Carney calls it a rupture, not a transition. Canada is pivoting from free-trade assumptions to mercantilist tools — a C$5B fund, Buy Canadian push, and EV pause. A seismic shift in trade strategy. #cdnpoli #ElbowsUp between-the-lines.ca/canada-free-tr…
