The most significant thing Canada could do to stop Putin would be to export more oil and natural gas. Then the world could cut back on buying Russian energy and Putin would have fewer dollars to buy tanks & rockets.

I spoke with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer, President @EmmanuelMacron, President @ZelenskyyUa, and close allies today as part of the Coalition of the Willing. We reaffirmed our united support for Ukraine’s sovereignty — and together, the coalition affirmed our collective.

We should all hope, pray, cross our fingers, etc. that Supply Management is part of trade negotiations. Even if it doesn’t help with trade talks, it would save families hundreds each year!.

Trump threatens a 35% Canada tariff, up from the current two-tiered rate of 10% and 25%. The letter is silent on whether current exclusions for USMCA-compliant trade will be extended.

With new data from B.C., the total of Canadians who have died waiting for health care has risen once again. Tens of thousands. Dead. These aren't just numbers ‒ they're people. People let down by a broken system, who died without receiving the care they needed.

Interior Health region (B.C.) health care waitlist deaths:. 2024-25: 1,586 (new data released today).'23-'24: 1,444.'22-'23: 1,491.'21-22: 1,233.'20-21: 874.'19-20: 767. A six-year high. Clearly, the problem is getting worse: we need health reform now.

New today:. Almost 1,600 died on a waitlist over the past year in B.C.'s Interior Health region. This is a six-year high for the area - yet another indicator that Canadian health care is sick and needs fixing.

Our research shows the true number is likely double the figure below … but as Mike points out - at least it’s “free”.

"FREE" healthcare claim exposes breathtaking insensitivity to families of the 74,000 who died since 2018 waiting for their "free" diagnostic scan or "free" surgery - and the 1.5 to 1.7 million Cdns who were forced to leave Emergency Departments without getting "free" treatment in.

Canadian health care. it's to die for. Quite literally. Did you know that over 15,000 Canadians died waiting for health care in 2023-24? And the numbers are likely much higher, since many areas didn't give us complete data. We need real health reform now.

Supply management (the scheme where Canada fixes high dairy prices, while heavily taxing imports) continues to be a problem in trade negotiations with the U.S. Should they scrap the system to make life cheaper for Canadians, and helping smooth out trade talks?

Yes, a good decision to scrap it. Now the government should make changes to the dairy sector (end supply management) just to be safe!.

Suspending the Digital Services Tax is a pretty good win for Canadians because the tax was almost certainly going to be passed on to Canadian consumers via higher prices. So a small tax win and we potentially reopen the doors to negotiate a deal.

Other countries have a positive approach to working with non-government health care. So why is Canada so behind the curve?. Join Dom Lucyk as he explores a private hospital in Northern Ireland.

The sooner we reverse government policies from this past "lost decade" the better.
