The problem with the "Team Canada" approach was on full display last week in Washington. Premiers were uncoordinated, unprepared and apparently even refused to accept support from the feds. The trip did more harm than good. There is something to be learned from "Europe United".

I haven’t even seen a single auto-captioned TikTok that’s produced correct results and many AIs still can’t tell you how many Rs are in the word strawberry, but people still think ‘technology’ is gonna replace govt workers, health specialists, teachers, artists, filmmakers, etc. Total insanity.

A scandal is brewing in Alberta. Allegations of a multi-million dollar quid-pro-quo and cover-up scheme aren't going away. What makes controversy stick to leaders, parties, and governments? The most important thing is how elected officials react. 🧵 drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/the-anatom...

Pierre Poilievre on CPAC right now making it clear that he's on Trump's side, making up a scatter-shot cacophony of lies on the spot to justify Trump's tariffs on Canada and somehow blame Trudeau. This man is not a leader, he's a viper. He doesn't have your back.
