Pro wrestling Friday. Parliamentary Press Galley dinner Saturday.

ALBERTA-OTTAWA MOU: There's a lot of wins @ABDanielleSmith can point to here. To name a few — the end of the emissions cap, the end of the CER net-zero by 2035 plan (Smith successfully fought this in 2024, now it's gone entirely), suspending the tanker ban. It's not perfect, but

ALL MOU ALL DAY: Pierre & @JustinTrudeau both brought in anti-energy policies that alienated Western Canada. Mulroney temporarily quelled western alienation by scrapping the NEP. Does the Alberta-Ottawa MOU achieve a similar result? #cdnpoli #ableg

The 2025 Liberal voter coalition is much different than the 2015 Liberal voter coalition. If Steven Guilbeault is representative of a left-wing voter who feels abandoned by @MarkJCarney's policies, where would they go next? #cdnpoli

Liberals thought they were getting a more left-wing version of @MarkJCarney. @s_guilbeault was a @JustinTrudeau minister & he's left cabinet over the Alberta-Ottawa MOU. There's still tons of Trudeau-era anti-pipeline ministers in Carney's cabinet. Who's next to go? #cdnpoli

Two things can be (and in politics usually are) true: 1. Given the circumstances (i.e., a Liberal government), Smith and her team have extracted a good deal from Ottawa. 2. Had the CPC won, actual changes to anti-growth laws (not just conditional exemptions) and respect for

“She [@ABDanielleSmith] extracted major concessions from Ottawa that no Alberta premier has seen in a generation. She singlehandedly reset the tone with a Liberal prime minister and positioned her province as the indispensable partner in whatever “nation-building” direction

There are things I like about living in Ottawa but let’s be realistic about the state of the place.

A few counterpoints: Byward Market, Bank Street, Chinatown. A not-insignificant chunk of Ottawa’s downtown is boarded-up storefronts, vagrants & addicts, public hard-drug use, people smoking meth in broad daylight. Is that world class? Does anyone care?

Here's what I've written in response to @Sean_Speer: There’s been a major conversation going on between the old and new guard of Canadian conservatism. It’s been enlightening and useful for conservatives as we move forward. I've really enjoyed it. I consider myself a

I agree with @Sean_Speer that conservative governments should reverse progressive excesses within public institutions, but what do we do in the meantime? You can find my answers at @WDiminishment. #cdnpoli https://t.co/If357eHSlp

Hogan at @WDiminishment: "It’s not enough to seek elected office or wait for our government of choice to attempt to reverse progressive excesses or extend conservative norms. Engaging on cultural and social issues surrounding and within these institutions is the most surefire

Here's my latest at @WDiminishment: "The speed of federal reform is glacial at best. If we [conservatives] don’t participate and involve ourselves in Canada’s institutions, how can we possibly reform them?" #cdnpoli https://t.co/If357eHSlp

“If this country is to be remade economically, politically, and culturally, it will require a Conservative movement willing to think and act with the ambition of a founder rather than the caution of an accountant. It will require a governing philosophy rather than a list of tax

Anthony Koch: We need a Pierre Trudeau of the right to remake Canada https://t.co/Q1shnVD8nG

Our guy @Anthony__Koch is on a legendary run. Here’s a highlight from his latest at @nationalpost: “You cannot defeat Charter liberalism with tax credits. You cannot counter a post national myth with slightly different language about economic growth. You cannot dismantle a

The new right is the future of Canada. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Anthony__Koch explains the vision perfectly.

I think we’ve gotta try. What else is there? We can’t just give up.
