François-Philippe Champagne held a press conference in Banff.
He announced Canada is renewing its commitment to Ukraine
He says Canada will help rebuild Ukraine. It will cost $500 billion over a decade.
He states Canada is an energy superpower and we’re going to help Ukraine with ports, trains, electricity nuclear, and maybe oil and gas
He wants the world to see that Canada stands steadfast with Ukraine
Champagne says we owe everything to Ukraine for fighting for our democracy
Our PM, Mark Carney, had spoken about buying a complete defense system for the north from Australia earlier . Was that true? We don’t hear about it in all those discussions about US dôme!
Spoiler Alert: "you're not being oppressed by liberalism, you're empowered because of it.
Most of the freedoms we enjoy today, are thanks to the Liberals".
After saying the old Canada-US relationship is over and that Trump wants to "break us so he can own us," I asked PMMC why he's considering joining the US Golden Dome
He said "We are in a position now where we cooperate when necessary, but not necessarily cooperate." #cdnpoli
Motherfucker can’t open a box, can’t close an umbrella, can’t form a complete sentence, can’t pronounce Yosemite, origins, anonymous, or Thailand. Can’t handle rain, ramps, or reality AND almost faceplants into a pillar. But by all means, let grandpa Fuckface control the nukes.
@DuaneBratt Which I hope Ottawa ignores as the laughable shit that it is. Call Smith’s bluff and force her go to polls to see if Alberta supports her separatist shit.
@DuaneBratt DEMANDS? She refuses to work TOGETHER for what is best for Canadians in Alberta.
You never demand in negotiating that is Trump style & does not work as he is seeing Canadians standing up against him.
I'm a proud Canadian 🇨🇦 & don't agree with Smith & UCP destroying Alberta.
WOW!
Trump is losing control—again.
Not only is he badly losing his trade war, but now Canadian media is openly mocking him for yet another humiliating retreat.
Reports say Trump became so unhinged during a call with Trudeau that he started screaming profanities—forcing U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to step in and give Canada what they demanded.
Even Trump’s own cabinet knows he's off the rails. Embarrassing!
First-past-the-post lets governments:
1️⃣ Focus on swing ridings.
2️⃣ Ignore safe opposition seats (e.g., rural Conservative or urban Liberal areas).
3️⃣ Win majorities with under 40% of votes.
Governments do what they do with their power because of how they're elected.
There’s no single cause of political violence in democracies. But @farbodkf and @JRDresden argue 1 critical source is often overlooked: electoral system design.
Their solution to reduce the long-term risks? Proportional representation.

On the 13th aniversary of his death, let's not forget the time Jack Layton made the clear case for proportional representation during the 2011 Federal Election debate.
Truly an inspiring leader.
