"A Liberal can seldom be a partisan of the status quo. He tends to be a reformer – attempting to move society, to modify its institutions, to liberate its citizens. The liberal is an optimist at heart; who trusts people." - Pierre Elliott Trudeau, April 1974

Sept 25: Greer says the U.S. has “no urgency” to reach a trade deal with Canada.
Oct 8: The U.S. is “holding fast” and waiting for Canada to “get to yes.”
Nov 12: Greer wants a deal that makes sense “for them and for us.”
Same negotiator. Noticeably different sales pitch.
Canada : Pays
Québec : Pas un pays
PSPP qui cherche, encore, des accrochages et de la confrontation.
J’aimerais lui rappeler que @MarkJCarney est, de loin, le politicien le plus populaire au Québec. Lui, il a un mandat. Toi, t’es même pas foutu de gouverner le Québec. #polqc
“The minister had no part in negotiating with @Stellantis or Roshel on the deal… The minister was in a conflict resolution (role) between Stellantis and @UniforTheUnion. That’s it. The minister didn’t meet Roshel.” - Industry Minister @melaniejoly’s spokesperson🤔
If you’re wondering why Poilievre is attacking Melanie Joly..
It’s because she called out his loyalty to Elon Musk.
First she embarrassed him, then she told the little pipsqueak to bring it on.
She’s awesome.
🇨🇦 PM Mark Carney like most Canadians must consider US ambassador Pete Hoeskstra a total joke and persona non grata. The fact that he tried to get the PM to talk to him during a Remembrance Day parade is another sign of his arrogance. Pathetic.
Mark Carney on reports the government was involved in Stellantis-Roshel deal: "Being informed or being aware of some aspects is not the same as Stellantis providing a global solution for those workers at the plant, which is their obligation."
As this story makes clear, he was saying the US faces bigger security risks in dealing with China than Canada does -- NOT that the US is a bigger security risk to Canada than China.
Willfully inaccurate versions spread by Trump fanboys to the contrary. https://t.co/chGHm4RiVm
Economist Jim Stanford on Stellantis-Roshel deal: "This claim that it's just a decrepit, empty warehouse is absolute lies. This is a state-of-the-art facility. It's got decades of experience, a skilled workforce. [Roshel's] not rescuing something. This is allowing an exit strategy for Stellantis."
An awkward moment unfolded between Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra during the diplomatic handshake line at the Remembrance Day ceremony.
Prime Minister Mark Carney handled the situation with professionalism, dignity, and composure.
Such moments can happen in diplomacy, but what truly matters is maintaining mutual respect and upholding Canada's values.
Proud of Canada's leadership. 🇨🇦🌺

Just astounding watching this lie spread and metastasize in real time. A laboratory experiment in disinformation, and how it is both deliberately propagated and unwittingly amplified.
Mark Carney on the sale of Stellantis plant: "It's a betrayal of the workers, as it is a betrayal of the obligations to Canada and by extension to all Canadians."
Pierre Poilievre (who voted against the national school food program): "They literally have mothers who drop on their knees begging for food because they can't feed their kids."
If you take inflation into account, Harper's archive cost ~$11 million. The difference between his and Trudeau's doesn't seem unreasonable and certainly doesn't warrant this hyped story.
Inflation calculators are a thing, @LizT1. #cdnpoli

NEW: Honda Canada says it will retool its manufacturing facilities in Alliston, Ont., to expand production of hybrid-electric and gasoline-powered vehicles.
The Japanese automaker announced Monday it is partnering with the federal and provincial governments to fund plant upgrades, including the reintroduction of engine manufacturing, with an initial $166 million investment.

@DougSaunders Nope. Clinton was talking about her divide & conquer election strategy, which was to try & attract votes from average Rs & leave the "deplorable" voters to Trump.
Also, she made the comment at a private fundraising event, not publicly to millions of 🇺🇸s.
