How important was Expos broadcaster Rodger Brulotte to Quebec, its culture, and its people? Tonight, Quebec’s News and Sports networks have preempted programming to celebrate his life. (Video: @tvanouvelles/@TVASports)

Sad news from Prince Edward Island with the loss of the province’s Health and Wellness Minister Mark McLane. I had the chance to spend some time with Mark at a session last fall and he was clearly a valued and well respected member of government. Deepest condolences to his wife, children, family and many friends and supporters.

@GrahamSmith_ It’s part of what makes Canada distinct, constitutionally and politically

@Dantheeditor A) not sure why you put professor in air quotes based on his academic credentials B) media commentary aside, which points has he made about Carney’s record are, to use your words, “BS”?

Mark Carney’s broken promises. If he worked more closely with the Conservatives on adopting solutions, we could make things better for Canadians and for Canada.
cbcwatcher@cbcwatcher

Short list of broken and unfulfilled Carney election promises (just the largest) 1. No trade deal - Carney campaigned on his expertise to swiftly negotiate a new trade deal with the US by July. In October promised "an even better deal." No comprehensive agreement has been secured 2. Housing plan fail - Carney pledged aggressive action on housing, including removing GST on first-time home buyers and accelerating builds to address shortages. However, the Bill still lacks Royal Assent, and estimates suggest it would yield 2,600 additional homes 3. Fastest pace to build - Build Canada at a pace not seen before. Not a shovel in the ground for any new projects and broader nation-building infrastructure projects, including housing, remain stalled without significant approvals 4. Resource development and pipelines: Promises to develop natural resources, build pipelines, and position Canada as an "energy superpower" have not materialized. No major projects have been approved 5. Bail reform and public safety: Carney's platform for stronger borders and law enforcement, bail reform efforts remain unfulfilled. 6. Mark Carney promised to "cap, not cut" federal public service employment. This was a key part of the Liberal platform to differentiate from more aggressive Conservative proposals for deeper cuts. Carney has since implemented or announced significant reductions. It is a good thing. Just another Carney lie These were the promises that got him elected. But the CBC and taxpayer paid media keep giving Carney a pass... as he flies around the word for global photo-ops, like his predecessor, with fewer costumes

As Canadians are losing jobs under Mark Carney’s Liberal government, it’s time for the Liberals to put politics aside and reach out to the Conservatives to adopt more of the @cpc_hq’s pro-growth policies to get our economy going in the right direction.

A true honour to join H.E Ambassador Alessandro Cattaneo on board the Nave Alpino docked in Halifax for a special reception during the ships North American tour. Like the ancestors of many in King and Vaughan, my grandfather arrived in Canada on these very docks from Italy in 1950, making it always extra special to see. 🇨🇦❤️🇮🇹 Grazie mille to Ambassador Cattaneo and Commander Sara Vinci for the warm welcome 🙏

Happy to see the Leader of His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition continue to promote Canadian interests constructively on the world stage, including with Canada’s largest trading partner. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Tomorrow I am travelling to the United States to stand up for Canadian workers and fight for tariff-free access to our closest neighbour and the world's largest economy. Canada must continue to make our case on how free trade is a win-win for both the Canadian and American people.
