The business case for Canadian energy exports continues to express itself.

“CBC deliberately omitted the most important context in their coverage of Const. Marc Pinizzotto’s murder: the raid was directly tied to an Iran-backed terror network (Kata’ib Hezbollah operatives with IRGC ties) that carried out the March U.S. Consulate shooting and linked synagogue attacks.”

Great milestone from Cameco who have just surpassed $5 billion in spending on northern and Indigenous businesses in SK.
As a young researcher, I went on my first mine tour to Rabbit Lake in 2005 and saw first hand what good industry-community relations could look like. No one had ever taught me at university it was even possible. Cameco was a front runner and continues to be an industry leader in Indigenous/local relations 👏

Oddly, and yet again, no reporter appears to have asked where the government's $3.2 billion food security strategy funding will actually come from.

How much is new money? How much is recycled funding? How much is financed through existing agencies like FCC?

Another government program to fix bad policy.

More debt on more debt.

@FoodProfessor Lip service and another announcement with no much meat on the bone.

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

$1 Billion dollars over a decade to improve food security.

$100 million a year...

And we just spent $14 Billion to send out cheques, helping folks with food insecurity, but it won't fix anything.

Got it.

Not concerning behaviour at all from the government dodging the free press after introducing bombshell social media restriction legislation don’t worry everyone just look inside yourselves…

Macklem behind the curve. He and Carney going to deliver a world of hurt to the CAD. Meanwhile, the ECB officially hikes interest rates by 25 basis points, the first major central bank interest rate hike since 2023.

Governor @bankofcanada acknowledges a forecast “miss”, this time on likelihood of 2026 #recession.
“Yes, fourth quarter GDP was quite a bit weaker than we thought.”

Ottawa is starting to look a lot like Tim Hortons these days: a flurry of announcements designed to distract from weak economic and fiscal performance.

Lots of headlines, plenty of activity, but not much focus on the fundamentals.

[Andrew Scheidl 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @AndrewScheidl]

Just so. But the chef's kiss was Trudeau's soft takeover of #cdnmedia through mass subsidy.

[Holly Doan @hollyanndoan]

DOCUMENTS: 19,000 new Covid ventilators, all purchased through sole-sourced contracts, were sold as scrap at pennies a pound, according to Public Health Agency @GovCanHealth. Admission is highest figure yet on confirmed waste under $1.1 billion pandemic ventilator program.

BREAKING

Conservatives on the health committee have forced the Liberals to withhold $50 MILLION from Canada Health Infoway after exposing the failed PrescribeIT program.

But Infoway is still defying the committee by failing to hand over PrescribeIT documents.

This is contempt.

[Patrick De Haan @GasBuddyGuy]

Canadian oil makes up ***62%*** of the amount of oil the U.S. imports and ***25%*** of every barrel that goes into U.S. refineries. how's that for "energy independence"? let that sink in.

[Shelley Crowley🇨🇦 @MrsDrBee]

As @nspector4 remarks, no Canadian can say they didn’t know that Trudeau was not a serious person.

Absolutely right, though it was astonishing how many people came to this conclusion only once he was out of office.

[Michael Cooper, MP @MichaelCooperMP]

OUTRAGEOUS

The Carney Govt BACKDATED the "spaceport" lease FUNNELLING $20M tax dollars to the nearly-bankrupt Maritime Launch Services for NO WORK.

After this BAILOUT the Board Chair IMMEDIATELY SOLD his previously worthless shares POCKETING $1.8 MILLION.

TOTAL CORRUPTION.

Via @FarmersForTrade: "US farmers are rightly going to be concerned by comments that the administration is not looking to renew USMCA. Failing to extend and strengthen this agreement would be a self-inflicted wound for American agriculture at the worst possible moment."

[Martin Pelletier @MPelletierCIO]

From Mark Carney's lips to Tiff Macklem's to yours.
