Powell is a ludicrously good communicator. I couldn’t arrive at more artful responses if I had a month.

All it needs is a l’il hyperpoliticized monetary policy to throw gasoline on this fire

(Vancouver Sun) - The Vancouver International Auto Show has removed Tesla, the electric vehicle company controlled by Elon Musk, from this week’s show, citing security concerns. @vancouversun.bsky.social $TSLA 🇨🇦 vancouversun.com/news/vancouv...

Those of us who reacted to @mccrum.bsky.social sending Wirecard’s boss into hiding by saying „now do Elon” have our wish fulfilled.

The opening of the $6.4B Gordie Howe border crossing bridge later this year is shaping up to be the most awkward party of all time.

If america wants to regain our trust they gotta give us F-22 Raptors

I have a sweet tooth. You know, the teeth—famous for hosting taste buds and cravings.

Not sure if it's quite reached that point but if you look around the world at the countries that adopted full or partial U.S.-style government, it's not a system that can resist authoritarianism. No shame in admitting it was a failed experiment. We've learned a lot. But the future is Westminster.

I spoke with Prime Minister Albanese over the phone this morning about strengthening Canada and Australia’s trade and defence relationship.   Against tariffs and a shifting global economy, Canada is working with reliable allies to build lasting and resilient ties. @albomp.bsky.social

The Gang has a fight about which branch is running this dictatorship.

Unfortunately for this to happen it has to get so bad that none of his 50 lines of progeny will associate with his last name (we’re not there yet)

It brings me no joy to admit that Carney is crushing it on the “give the middle finger to our prick southern neighbours” file

Nearly 500,000 fewer travellers crossed the land border from Canada into the U.S. in February compared to the same month last year. #cdnpoli #uspoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

my longest yeah boy ever

Week after week, tariff on tariff off, accusing them of disrespecting and scamming America. Then I realized—I’m searching for someone to hold *me* accountable for exploiting America. My deals, my businesses, my whole life—I want someone to push back, to challenge me on *my* scams.

Mark Carney treats reporters with derision?

Suspect a brief Poilievre minority government would have been an important pressure release valve and if U.S. actions have truly altered that trajectory it could be more damaging in the long term.

Congratulations Mark Carney Félicitations Marc Carné

I subscribe to a silly niche engineering trade pub that brings me a tiny bit of joy each month. Pretty clear this issue the columnists have discovered LLMs. Heartbreaking.

* POLISH PM TUSK: BY END OF THIS YEAR WE WANT TO PUT IN PLACE MECHANISM FOR HAVING EVERY ADULT MALE TRAINED FOR EVENT OF WAR @reuters.com

Welfare Vs Warfare? Rubbish! How Keynes can help us avoid a poisonous choice. (And this is NOT the free-spending Keynes you think you know) www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/econom...

Separating the art from the artist (drinking the last of the Wayne Gretzky cream liquor that someone left at the cottage)

Big fan of locally made croducts

Need a reporter to press him on (1) whether this rule will be over the business cycle, and (2) how he will operationalize it given nearly all federal capital investment is in the form of transfers to provinces that are classified as operating expenses in the federal accounts.

The only satisfying resolution to any of this is to bring back tar and feathering

The Sovereignty Series. No pressure boys but North America's soul is on the line. www.nhl.com/news/usa-has...

Why sink billions into strengthening Canada's military and border? Just pay off whatever coercive russian loans are holding Trump, Elon and the VC wankers hostage then we can run America.

His body is of mortal flesh and blood. But he’d do that thing where a ghost floats up with angel wings and a harp and he’d be hornier than ever.

They’re calling it the Weekend at Bernification of social security. Many such cases. People—not the best people—they're propping up dearly departed Aunt Sadie. They're wheeling her around. And she’s cashing those checks folks. Billions lost. Hundreds of billions actually.
