No #Canadian #primeminister has understood adequately the vital importance of strengthening #Canada ‘s #transportation and #digital #infrastructure. Hope PM #Carney gets it and acts on it. macleans.ca/society/why-...

With hundreds of protests about to begin in #America #Trump will be playing Whack-a-mole. I wish protesters safety and a strong message to the autocratic president . www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

As much as it’s wonderful to have a grownup back as PM, after #Trudeau, warning signs are appearing of a Trump-Lite approach to governing under #Markcarney. Beware of omnibus bills-such as C-4. Don’t squander the tentative trust #Canadians placed in you, Mark. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Shame on Prime Minister #Markcarney for dragging his feet on calling for imprisoned #Jimmylai release. If the #G7 produces one meaningful communique, it will be on Lai. #Kananaskis #Canada www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

What you saw from Trump in CA this weekend was not law enforcement. What you saw was a test of ways and means for Trump to disrupt and pervert the 2026 elections. My latest in @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

A first in #American history. #Americans are self initiating to take action against a megalomaniac fascist #president #Trump, while the #DNC and #Democrat elected reps wring their hands in despair. A pivotal juncture in #US history—#freedom is at stake. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

#America will begin to burn as #protests escalate and #Trump then orders the #military to fire on #demonstrators … unless the #SupremeCourt intervenes to save the #Republic. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

The sweet spot for #Canadian #politics is the centre-or middle. A travesty in Cdn politics was the merger of the Progressive Conservative Party with the right wing Reform Party. Under #Poilievre the Cons party has flatlined, needing a desperate reboot. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

What’s terrifying about this is there are no guardrails preventing #Trump from escalating to the eventual use of live ammunition on protesters. That would make Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller very happy. apnews.com/article/immi...

BREAKING: My sources say Trump’s National Guard move in LA wasn’t just revenge — it’s part of a larger plan tied to June 14th protests scheduled all over the country.

So let's get this straight. Taxpayers spent $34 billion on the TMX pipeline because no private company would take the risk. That's $1200 per household. We subsidize every barrel down the pipe by 50 cents on the dollar because Big Oil won't pay. And now they want another one. As the planet burns.

Trump can’t stand to be humiliated. This is what's driving his dictatorial moves. But he will overreach. He already has. And this overreach will ultimately be his undoing. As long as we keep our heads — and engage in peaceful civil disobedience. Be strong. Be safe.

Is #Canada is sending its #Environment minister to this conference?Unfortunately, the #Markcarney government is fixated on bringing Christmas gifts to the premiers—notably #pipelines. There are opportunities for new #technologies related to #oceanprotection. news.sky.com/story/prince...

Met with Bruce Fanjoy, Member of Parliament for Carleton, who defeated Pierre Poilievre! I never thought I’d find myself saying this… but it was a pleasure to meet with the Member from Carleton. BTW we are thinking of forming a #DragonSlayerCaucus Congratulations, Bruce.

AI could erase half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and hike unemployment to 10-20% within the next one to five years, warns Dario Amodei, CEO of one of the leading companies developing artificial intelligence. He says a looming job apocalypse is facing industries like finance, tech and law.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.
