@josh_wingrove @jamiesongreer should know that it is individual provinces making that decision. Doug Ford, for example, says no US alcohol until US removes their tariffs against Canada.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found dead after hours of searching under rubble. She was killed in an Israeli strike, after the Israeli army fired at ambulances trying to reach her, delaying her rescue.
She is the fourth journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March.
She was a professional, kind and dedicated journalist, and always a pleasure to run into in the field.

Bob Rae on US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's comments about Canada trading with China: "The United States trades with China. That's a fact. They invest in China way more than we do ... we're not a colony of the United States."

@JasminLaine_ ha, who knew that correcting for globalization means more disinformation and insults of allies while cozying up to authoritarians and anti-democratic forces.

U.S Trade Rep Greer testifies: “[Canada’s] doubling down on globalization, while we’re trying to correct for the problems of globalization—so those are two models that don’t fit together very well”

@LJB_OceanSide @stphnmaher @davidakin but we should still try to keep it alive, in as good as shape as possible with some bad actors, because one day we might have an opposition who uses it for more than edited social media clips.
English
@stphnmaher @davidakin The usefulness and tradition of QP is a thing of the past, Stephen. It's digressed to the point of being nothing more than a stage for the Conservatives to produce social media clips based on often disinformation and rage farming. It's a waste of the PM's time. And ours.

Good question from @davidakin. Carney, who has been a parliamentarian for a short time, must take care to respect the accountability mechanisms built into our system. 1/2
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
PM Carney on not attending Question Period: "We have a very strong team in this government. And I believe in the team responding to Canadians. We govern as a team ... It would also be useful if the opposition had more than one question."

Good! This is long overdue and something all pension funds need to examine.
The extreme over reliance on the US market is a major geopolitical risk AND a major long term return risk.
The US and USD are increasingly unreliable.
Many opportunities at home often ignored.

Former CPC leader O’Toole tells @TorontoStar he gave Poilievre a heads-up last week he would join Carney’s Canada-U.S. trade advisory council because he agrees with a lot of Carney’s approach to the US, and he wanted no surprises @TondaMacC reports thestar.com/politics/feder…

@erinotoole I have zero respect for POTUS because he has demonstrated repeatedly that he is a conman, fraudster, erratic, untrustworthy, abusive bully.

@g2490C @JonFraserTF @coreyhoganyyc gold to UK, crude to Hong Kong & Netherlands, plus exports to Germany dominated the increase.
English
@JonFraserTF @coreyhoganyyc Also majority of foreign exports was gold at 96percent of increase and it was all mostly exported to the UK with london being the gold hub of the world. Completely market driven.
English
There has been exactly one trade deal signed, which was with Indonesia. It is not in effect yet.
Non-US trade has increased from 25% to 28% - that is not a 40% increase.
More Liberal lies @coreyhoganyyc.

@JonFraserTF @coreyhoganyyc Non-US exports rose by 17% in 2025, fell slightly in Jan 2026, more than made up for that in Feb 2026, then rose again in March 2026 by 25%, putting the total increase so far at over 40%.

Last year we set out to rebuild, rearm, and reinvest in our military. We’re working fast and seeing results – including the highest number of new recruits in more than 30 years.
