Works for me. Much better outcome than negotiating a bad deal for Canada. When it comes to retaliation, let's not stop with steel or aluminum. Throw in oil and electricity exports. #cdnpoli

This is good, especially the part about the Federal crown corp buying from the same shipyard. If you want a cautionary tale, look at Washington State Ferries - required to buy Washington-only for years, fleet is falling apart (plus the funding gaps it has)

For some time, I have been getting seriously PO'd at all of the hypocrisy and pearl clutching in the BC Ferries debate. Kudos to Paul Willcocks, for telling it like it is! thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

She can go pound sand. I never had much respect for Trudeau, but I freely accept that, when confronted by a serious threat to Canadian sovereignty during January to March of this year, he "met the moment". Thank you, Justin #cdnpoli

Take a deep breath: Pierre Poilievre might be cooked #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/19/o...

Dear American neighbours: if you want to understand why Canadians are pissed off at your government, this article is a good read. macleans.ca/society/cana...

Shortly after becoming PM, Carney told a newser that, if the US wasn't willing to continue providing leadership in the democratic world, Canada would take on that role. To me, this was a massive shift in Canadian foreign policy. I support it. These 2 posts look at how that might happen. #cdnpoli

I wonder when someone will decide that a compilation of Baghdad Barbie's dumbest comments might make a great blooper reel?

American wine sales to Canada have dropped 93%. There has been a huge uptake in wines from Canada and other jurisdictions to replace the American brands. Way to go Donald.

Good timing by these folks. #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/1122906...

A short, but informative clip. Makes sense, given current Canada - US relations.

Alberta separatists have promised a Sparkle Pony and Unicorn in every garage. Here's a reality check. #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

So much for Smith being a member of Team Canada. #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/1121829...

So, the Toronto Sun is finally recognizing what many of us understood long ago: Fraser Institute reports properly belong at the bottom of a bird cage. #cdnpoli pressprogress.ca/the-toronto-...

This is good news for BC.

"...building bananas..."? And Canada is holding trade negotiations with this guy? #cdnpoli

Okay. I've enjoyed taking shots at federal and provincial Conservatives for poor candidate vetting. So, it's only fair to call out the federal Liberals, for the same thing. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Dear Canada: BC loves you, but a northern oil pipeline, to coastal tidewater, would be political suicide for ANY BC government. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/03/o...

Is this the real reason for all of the 51st state BS? #cdnpoli thewalrus.ca/the-us-badly...

EVERY ALBERTAN MUST WATCH THIS! #abpoli #cdnpoli

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

Velly interesting. If an indigenous candidate could pull this off, they should receive the Order of Canada. #cdnpoli

Not holding my breath. #cdnpoli

DAVIES: They're cutting revenue to the federal government and at the same time saying that they're going to keep spending under 2%, which is at or under the rate of inflation. That can only mean one thing for Canadians. It means a cut to the public services that Canadians rely on. #cdnpoli

The story is not about Taylor Swift or Bruce Springsteen. The story is about Trump’s mental health.

A message for folks who think that Alberta politicians are whiny, self-entitled spoiled brats: you just might be right. #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Excellent points. I still say that Poilievre had better change his ways. Either that or start collecting quotes for moving from Stornoway to a private residence. #cdnpoli

Happy to share an educated guess. #cdnpoli
