Dropped my son at kindergarten today. Tough morning so I sat with him a while, but I had to leave for work. He cried until a teacher helped get him in class. I do this to earn a couple hundred bucks and give half to the government. I’d like to return my subscription to feminism.

@acoyne Canada joining the EU to ‘save the country’ is like parents having a baby to save their failing marriage. It’s not a solution, it’s just creating a bigger mess for the kid (or in this case, Canadians) to clean up later.

@sea_jay17 @RMapleCan @TimedRome7264 My point isn’t which side is better. My point is Jack Layton wanted his party to lead the country. Jagmeet Singh destroyed his party. We shouldn’t use tax dollars to repair something he fully destroyed.

THIS IS CANADA 🇨🇦 The NDP lost its party status and funding because they have less than 12 MPs. The Liberals, CPC and Bloc Québécois agreed to reallocate some of their parliamentary funding to the NDP. See why I am PROUD TO BE CANADIAN? Despite our differences, we still value democracy and diversity. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
CityNews Toronto@CityNewsTO

The cash-strapped federal NDP is getting a $670,000 financial boost. Members of the other main political parties on the Board of Internal Economy have decided to grant the parliamentary funds, even though the NDP does not have official party status. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/04/15/ndp…

@guyfelicella Love him or hate him, anyone who doesn’t think that Donald Trump is the most influential person on earth right now is simply delusional. The only reason the Pope is getting so much coverage is because he is speaking out against Trump.

Canada’s Mark Carney ranked #2 on the TIME 100… right behind the Pope. 🇨🇦 But hey… whatever you do, don’t let Pierre Poilievre see this. Wouldn’t want him finding out what credibility looks like 🤭

Companies aren’t checking if you can afford something, they’re using every scrap of your data to figure out how badly you need it right now… and how much they can squeeze out of your account today. They price based on desperation, not fairness. I’m no NDP fan, but new leader Avi Lewis is pushing legislation to ban this “surveillance pricing” across Canada. Legacy media barely touched it dodging the topic with every other question under the sun. This will hits regular people hard. We need to talk about it.

On February 28th, Trump started bombing Iran. No coalition. No allies. No plan. Today, 54 countries met in Paris to clean up his mess. Britain. France. Germany. Australia. Iraq. Indonesia. South Korea. Norway. Singapore. Over a billion people in the room. Not invited: the United States. Mine-clearing drones. Naval escorts. Warning systems. Adult things. Meanwhile Trump blockaded Iranian ports alone and called it victory. A man who can’t organize a cabinet. Can’t keep a room. Handed the most powerful military on earth. And still ended up eating alone 😂. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@mjourneay @prairiecentrist And even if there was somebody to take the 75% of our products , they wouldn’t be right next-door. They’d be across an ocean thus much more expensive to get to.

@prairiecentrist Carney is wrong we cannot change our geography. The US is the world‘s largest economy it absorbs 75% of our products who are we gonna pivot to? Who is going to take 75% of our products other than the US a deal must be done or we are dead.

Talk to any American involved in this file. They all say the same thing regardless if they are Democrat, Republican, a non-partisan bureaucrat. They don't want to end supply management, they don't more quota access, they just want us to live up to the existing agreement.

To briefly abandon my cynicism, for which I make absolutely no apologies, who do people think might be a GOOD realistic candidate for Governor General? Must be francophone and/or fluently bilingual, obviously.

Mark Carney@MarkJCarney·
This morning, I spoke with fellow leaders, including @EmmanuelMacron and @Keir_Starmer, about the rapidly evolving security and economic situation affecting the Strait of Hormuz, including severe disruptions to global maritime traffic, energy markets, and critical supply chains. We welcome the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, and the announcement that Iran will be reopening the Strait.   Canada stands in full solidarity with Gulf partners who have faced recent retaliatory attacks and economic pressure, and welcomes France and the UK’s efforts to advance coordinated diplomatic and planning initiatives to restore safe and reliable passage through this essential corridor.

@sunlorrie @CoryBMorgan The equalization program hampers economic growth by rewarding provinces that fall behind rather than encouraging real change. It rewards the status quo in a country that chronically lags on productivity metrics.

The real question is how? No government has ever successfully taxed “the rich” long-term, it usually backfires with capital flight, loopholes, and lost growth. They’re great at taxing high income earners, but the rich (wealth/capital) and high earners (wages) are two very different things. As a Canadian, we have almost no major AI companies here to tax anyway. Maybe this is why Canada doesn’t make sense?

@elonmusk So who is getting taxed more to pay for these cheques? The AI & Robotics companies? It's not only about producing good and services, it's about having people to buy them.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
