I’m really excited to welcome @BenWoodfinden as a Senior Advisor to MBP. He is already a fantastic addition to two great colleagues - @tylermeredith and @KenBoessenkool. Ben is also leading our firm’s new service…   (Cont’d)

Why indeed

Like the dynaLIFE deal cost us an extra $100 million? Or how Smith had Health fork over $70 million for off brand fever meds at 3x the price to her new buddy? Or how she had Health extend contracts for double AHS rates? Just thieves buying favours with the public purse. #ableg

Light up creativity with the LED Note Board for Kids — a fun, glowing board where children can draw, write, and express their imagination in bright neon colors, again and again!

Amna knows what it takes to beat Conservative’s and to win in tough places. She’s shown that people-powered campaigns work by lifting up hope, community, and prioritizing the values of taking care for our neighbours. I’m proud and excited to have her support.

Folks should probably check in on their local CPC MPs, they are really crashing out over there. #cdnpoli

Glad to contribute to this outstanding 'About That' explainer from Andrew Chang for @CBCNews, on how Canada's big banks make so much money: https://t.co/bOCH7UcPnE. A widening net interest gap, combined with cream from the AI stock bubble, drove record profits in '25. #cdnecon /2

The sale of Canadian-made armoured vehicles to ICE is unacceptable. I’ve urged the government to shut down these export loopholes — and I welcome Lloyd Axworthy’s call echoing this demand. Canada’s foreign policy must reflect our human rights commitments. https://t.co/sTzjQvVMGw

But there is a rule stating that one recall petition is approved against an MLA and it fails, nobody can try again to recall that member until after the next election. So a do-nothing recall campaign can serve as catch-and-kills for an MLA's supporter.

The UCP want to get rid of Alberta's current Auditor General. They've rejected his offer to stay another 2 years and have undermined his work at a committee of the Legislature. There will be some bombshells in the 8 reports the AG will report this week. Bet on it. #ableg

💡 Crypto is fragmented. Your liquidity shouldn't be. $WEUSD is the omni-chain settlement layer unifying every network. No wrapping. No silos. Just fluid value across the entire ecosystem. The goal? One coin. Everywhere.

Case Fatalities and extremely severe outcomes (encephalitis) are highest among infants <6 months. So when Alberta makes public health decisions like this, the population most likely to suffer is babies.

a woman was sexually assaulted and then the EPS officer investigating that crime hit on her over text. this officer, who has a checkered discipline history which includes assaulting a guy for speaking french and sleeping with a recruit while on duty, faced no real consequences.

Gateway was already a couple of years into development when you started as CoS to PM Harper. Construction hadn't begun more than 6 years after you left. Funny that.

“The reaction to the word feminist in Canada’s foreign policy or elsewhere is seen as a rejection of the term itself, but will likely result in a rejection of the project that relies on equality to build the kind of societies of security and prosperity we all want.” my latest:

The PM should be meeting with the Coastal First Nations himself. And the Premier of BC himself. Not sending his Energy Minister. Statecraft is about a lot more than int’l trips. What message does it send that his only meeting is with Smith? Want it done? Do it right.

Probably best to dial down the condescension and sanctimony when talking to indigenous Canadians. It’s not a boardroom, it’s politics. Businessmen often think they’re good at politics but often they’re the worst at it. Politics is about people and process.

Secure the domain, own the category. The world's most valuable domains, including Refuse․com, are available now.

Whoa. It’s called “zoom” - quite a way to respond to the Coastal First Nations request for a meeting especially when he refused to meet them before the MOU that directly affects them was announced - while doing over 50 meetings with fossil fuel lobbyists.

It's amusing to look back at how some columnists who are today critiquing Mark Carney on agreements with the provinces on pipes previously wrote about Christy Clark's five conditions and the work by Premier Redford and PM Harper to get BC onside.

Christy Clark had 5 conditions for a pipeline to the northwest coast of BC, and her position was that Northern Gateway did not fulfill any of them. And that was an actual real project!

Nothing in MOU or Alberta/Ottawa materials appears to require BC's consent to proceed with an oil pipeline — despite what @MarkJCarney said in House of Commons earlier this week.

It’s an interesting approach to provide clarity on a tanker ban while failing to meet with the Coastal First Nations despite repeated requests - the community that would be directly affected by any spill - while having dozens or more meetings with fossil fuel lobbyists, AB, Sask.

Just incredibly disrespectful of @MarkJCarney. Governing Canada is difficult and it’s always good to have allies. He had one in Eby, he’ll never have a real one in Smith. Torching your friendships, allies, and members of your own caucus is not how you succeed in politics.
