Trudeau was a disaster for our economy. I thought the 2015 NDP royalty review during the last oil price crash was akin to a betrayal. Now we spiral into a self imposed economic disaster with a secession question when what we need to do is capitalize on our growth opportunities with political discipline and unity.

so much so it makes me wonder if they are trying to inflame sentiments deliberately surely nobody could be this incompetent but maybe I give them too much credit 😆😆😆

PM Carney: "Canada is on a path to become a low-risk, low-risk being one of the most important elements here, low-cost and low-carbon supplier that the world needs."

After writing a nuanced piece on a new UN-linked study suggesting that some climate models are now pointing to warming scenarios that may be less extreme than initially projected, La Presse, a paper I contributed to for free for 25 years, chose to attack me today instead of engaging with the substance of the argument (links below). I was quickly portrayed as a climate skeptic, which is simply false. I have repeatedly stated, publicly and clearly, that climate change remains one of the greatest threats to global food systems. La Presse's Philippe Mercure never contacted me for comment or clarification before going on the offensive and attaching labels that do not reflect my views. That is deeply disappointing. What concerns me most is the growing tendency among some media voices to frame every discussion around climate through fear and polarization. Mercure, Francis Vailles, and others seem far more interested in dividing people and reinforcing narratives than encouraging thoughtful debate around how environmental policies impact farmers, processors, and food affordability. The reality is this: there is not a single person I know in the food industry who does not care about the environment, from farmgate to store and restaurant. Not one. Farmers and food processors live with environmental realities every day. But supporting sustainability also means following evolving science, adapting policies when evidence changes, and finding pragmatic ways to reduce emissions without undermining food production or the competitiveness of our agri-food sector. Science evolves. It always has. We should be mature enough as a society to discuss new findings openly instead of trying to discredit anyone who raises legitimate questions about policy direction or economic consequences.

Kenny is lying through his teeth and he knows it. The 2% level of defence spending was reached through an accounting trick, not more spending. The Coast Guard budget was put under defence and so was much of Veterans Affairs. Amazing!!!!. The defence budget is up. It was a smoke and mirrors move like much of the rest of the federal government these days.

BREAKING: Canada’s food inflation rate dropped to 3.5% in April. Food prices in stores rose 3.8% year-over-year, still a full percentage point above the general inflation rate. Food inflation has now outpaced overall inflation for more than a year — every month since March 2025.

The average Canadian household is now spending roughly $1,000-$1,500 more per year on gasoline compared to early March trends alone. That money has to come from somewhere. For many families, it means: ➡️Less restaurant spending. ➡️More pressure at the grocery store. ➡️More debt. ➡️More trading down to discount brands. More money at the pump, less money to spend on food.

For media stories on food inflation tomorrow, expect the usual suspects — Liberal-leaning, and often publicly funded academics and experts (rarely disclosed) — to once again argue that rising food prices have little to do with Ottawa’s policies. Ironically, many of them neither conduct research on food pricing nor forecast food inflation. Instead, expect the usual explanations: Trump, climate change, consumer demand, or vague accusations of “profiteering,” while avoiding more difficult conversations about taxes, regulation, counter-tariffs, recycling fees, and policy decisions affecting Canada’s food supply chain. Canadians deserve a fuller picture of what’s actually driving food costs. This pattern has become more noticeable as many media organizations themselves have grown increasingly dependent on federal funding to survive.
