In my singular opinion, this isn’t just the worst government scandal I’ve ever seen in this province, I suspect history will prove it to be one of the worst in the country. They’re gonna need to audit every minister’s portfolio, at this point. Something seems terribly awry. 😳 #ableg

As a Canadian, I agree 💯 Do not kick people who are trying to make America better. They have a huge fight on their hands and are really, really traumatized. Canada’s fight is with Trump and his sycophants - the same people decent Americans are standing against and we should support them.

Crack in the armour. They need to be dismissed or resign, not put in other government departments. What are they going give Lagrange after the procurement health scandal...? Put her in Public Safety & Emergency Services and have the police get kick backs for their contracts, too...?

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

@ec.europa.eu European Union must promptly form a European Military Force with a nuclear capacity, which Canada and UK (and perhaps Turkey) must be part of. Such defensive formation would operate in support of NATO, but must have the capacity to replace it. Hard new reality to accept. #cdnpoli

Americans really need to stop rationalizing this. If Trump ever did annex Canada, which he is now threatening to do on a daily basis, it’s very unlikely he’s going to give Canadians any kind of meaningful voting rights (and no one up here is going to vote for the do-nothing Democrats).

I am old enough to remember when the US stood up to Russia and put them in their place. Now the US under Trump gives Russia everything they want. Basically the US let Russia win the old cold war. Never thought the US would rollover so easily and lose the war without even a whimper.

I saw Mark Carney speak tonight. A few observations: He’s very clear-eyed about our situation with the U.S. His economic focus is using our vast resources to build industry (processing those raw materials rather than simply exporting). He’s bent on ensuring we generate income to pay for our needs.

GOP Rep. Eli Crane is drafting articles of impeachment for District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer because he issued an injunction blocking DOGE from accessing Treasury financial data of millions of Americans. This is classic authoritarian intimidation of the judiciary to remove checks on the executive.

Charlie Angus has cornered the political market on straight talk about Trump’s plans for Canada. Canadian politicians should be fearless and direct about how they’re going to defend our country. They don’t all have to speak as plainly as Charlie does, but a few more would be fine by me. 🇨🇦

President Trump seems to think he can suspend the laws of the United States, of international trade, and of economics. The American Congress and US courts will decide for themselves how they will address these violations of Presidential powers. (1/3)

Premier Smith's abdication of responsibility is galling as it is predictable. The UCP had seized full control of the body when the alleged wrongdoings took place. It's been their beast for years. I raised red flags about this peril of populism three years ago. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Fentanyl is small and easy to hide, so it is mostly smuggled while hidden in cars being driven through border checkpoints — often by Americans. Stationing soldiers at the border does basically nothing to stop this.

As he has said all along, President Trump has issued tariffs that will wreak havoc on the Canadian economy, attacking the single most important trade relationship Canadians have with the world. These tariffs will have a devastating impact on our jobs, our economy, and our way of life. /1
