I hope people remember which elite institutions folded like a $2 chair and which fought back for fundamental freedoms.

Wait, what? The second debate is in Elizabethan English? Poilievre: “Anon, I beg you hide the tithe, my liege” Carney: “Be mute, foe, Is there no respect of place, persons, nor time in you?”

If Canada is looking for nation-building projects that improve affordability, enhance reliability, reduce our reliance on the US, and set us up for the future, don’t have to look much further than interprovincial transmission. By me and Philippe Dunsky: www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/fe4f74c...

I've cracked the code of why byelection lineups are so long in Vancouver today. It's not just a turnout question. Compared to the 2017 byelection, the city decreased the number of election workers by EIGHTY PERCENT. From 1,250 in 2017 to 250 this time around. This was a staff recommendation.

Canadians need more discourse about improving our health system and not the 999th victory lap about how it’s better than the worst one in the world.

Smith is openly betraying our national interest at a time when Canada faces unprecedented threats. Just like America’s reputation will not quickly recover from Trump, Alberta’s standing in confederation has been permanently damaged.

Meanwhile in Canada, governments are deliberately making journalism based on freedom of information requests much more expensive than ever before and new organizations are collapsing. Thanks folks. @davidebybc.bsky.social
