Mark Carney just cut off his nose to spite his face and all the pundits are telling him that he’s gorgeous. Some people are celebrating Carney’s speech as political realism. He defended his partnership with China by saying, “we take the world as it is, not as we wish it to be”.
Carney may indeed be tempted to call an early election. His Davos speech furthers his statemanship and leaves PP sputtering in response.#cdnpoli

How much ink will be spilled on Carney’s speech beyond what needs to be said: the Liberal Party is worldclass in political messaging and gaslighting and Carney is even more convincing than Trudeau, he can write some of his own material. The fact remains he and his party have CCP

The Federal Court of Appeal just unanimously upheld a MAJOR civil liberties victory, ruling that the Trudeau government acted illegally when it invoked the Emergencies Act in 2022. Christine walks through the Court's decision here on YouTube: https://t.co/tDMxU0lYNu

You know what is really unpredictable? China stealing Nortel 5G technology for Huawei. China using Canada’s Winnipeg Lab for bioweapon research projects. Etc etc whatever
extraordinary statement by canada pm mark carney in beijing, inconceivable a year ago: “in terms of the way that our relationship has progressed in recent months with china, it is more predictable (than the united states), and you see results coming from that.”

When I lived in Toronto, I'd have this painting flash through my mind basically every day, usually while riding the subway. It depicts ignorant peasants living amidst the decaying ruins of grand infrastructure they could never build themselves.

For the past several months, people across this province have had plenty to say to me when I was the opposition leader, and not all of it was flattering. Some of it was sharp, some of it was angry, and some of it was brutally honest. I listened anyway. I took the criticism
BC has what the world needs – and the province is working to diversify our trading relationships, so we are less reliant on the United States and to keep our economy growing and support good jobs for British Columbians.

A major reason that things have gotten so crazy for the center-left is that because they were able to enforce consensus so easily socially they stopped feeling the need to justify policy empirically. Appreciating empiric reality is a major break that keeps things from going off
I’d be pretty happy to go down the list of issues and make explicit what problem we’re trying to solve and how, which I think would reveal some pretty big differences between the two sides. For example, it’s just not true that you can close educational outcome gaps by increasing

.@cityoftoronto is far better than @CityofVancouver at providing the public with digital 3D models. In terms of transparency, this is a bigger issue than people realize. Kudos to @CityHallWchVAN for bringing it to our attention. #vanre #torontorealestate

Words you can write in a prestigious fact-checked US magazine, but which @globeandmail & @TorontoStar would never dare print “But the more dire accusations of children buried in secret graves ultimately unraveled. Many Canadians began to feel as if they had been hoaxed. Grave
