When PM Carney is at home in Canada the Cons criticize him for not getting any deals. When he’s travelling they criticize him for travelling. The Conservatives criticize just for the sake of criticizing without any goal. This is why they keep losing elections.

[Ab Gamble 🇨🇦, grateful Canadian.. @AbGamble1]

Mark Carney is Internationally recognized and trusted. PM Carney has governed over national economy's. He is an International pillar of stability in these uncertain times..

The irony.

Call us here in NB where we throttled him.

Arresting lawmakers for speech is one of those illegal orders.

Russia has violated ALL security agreements with Ukraine it had signed since 1991. What makes the US so sure Russia won't violate this one?

Don't fall for Russian lies.
Support Ukraine to win!

The US has to stop worrying about Canada. We are doing FINE without you!🇨🇦

This is video explains why the Gripen is a better choice compared to the F35. Unlike the American F-35, Sweden would never withhold critical software updates or spare parts for their Gripens as punishment if your country’s leader were to inadvertently say something they disagreed with because Canada would own the intellectual property and the parts.

I’m an airplane junkie and have been one all my life. I am in no way directly or indirectly connected to Saab or the government or military (which has a weird fascination with US control.)

The Gripen is a better deal financially - it’s less problematic and far easier to operate and maintain.

Cost:
We can get three Canadian-built (Halifax) Gripen fighters for the price of one F-35. That represents massive savings!

The hourly flight cost of the F-35 is $36,000 USD ($50,500 CAD).
The hourly flight cost of the Gripen is just $7,000 USD ($9,800 CAD).

With its smaller ground crew requirement and significantly lower cost per unit, the Gripen E is a compelling alternative - perfectly suited for defending Canada’s vast northern frontier.

With the Gripen, Canada would own the intellectual property and technology outright, with no concerns about kill switches or throttled performance. It allows us to spend less on procurement while investing more in our own aerospace industry.)

Canada has multiple helicopter platforms and we can do the same with jets.

I’m confident Prime Minister Mark Carney will make the right choice - because we are Canada Strong! 🇨🇦

America is in a new era, where rules are skirted and corruption is tolerated. It did not start with Donald Trump. But he has upped the tempo and removed constraints that once held others back https://t.co/O9ALaEqeUQ

Milestone hit.
Half a million fewer New Brunswickers have travelled to Maine since the beginning of Trump's second presidency

Sept. and Oct. passenger vehicle figures now available, they continue to show a dramatic decline in visits

Quite a stunning moment in the Oval Office as President Trump asserts that MBS knew nothing about Jamal Khashoggi's murder despite how the CIA — under Trump, in his first term — found that the crown prince ordered it.

[Shawn Rouse @shawnrouse]

Smith's changes put vunerable students at increased risk. They violate Charter rights of students who want the freedom/support to live authentically when parents won't support them. Her laws promote bias/discrimination against kids who are just trying to be themselves.

Notably, the CPC and NDP both had 2 abstentions. So they both covered themselves to allow budget to pass, regardless of what other party did.
