This article has an in-depth look at foreign influence in Canada's election. Unsurprisingly, a lot of American right-wing accounts have been boosting Poilievre and trashing Carney. That also signals that Poilievre would be too weak to confront Trump while Canada needs it most. #cdnpoli

Danielle Smith is questioning the need for public coverage for basic medical checkups. She is trying to destroy Alberta's public Healthcare. Poilievre has been silent on this subject. Please Canada, vote wisely. #CarneyForCanada 🇨🇦🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp

"A Conservative government will put an end to the imposition of the Woke ideology in the federal public service and in the allocation of federal funds for university research." Still no definition of "woke" or how they will root it out. What can we expect?🧵 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Preston Manning is probably a familiar name to a lot of Daveberta readers but, now that he’s been out of elected office for more than two decades, there’s a good chance that even a few keen politician watchers in 2025 aren’t too familiar with him. 🤠 Read more: daveberta.substack.com/p/preston-ma...

President Trump is planning to gut the Internal Revenue Service’s work force while trying to turn it into a more political agency, preparing budget cuts and further layoffs that could ultimately force it to shed as much as 50% of its work force.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff
