Modern luxury is the ability to live quietly. No drama. No noise. No pretending to be someone you are not. Just living low-key. Reading. Thinking. Listening to music. Staring at walls. Going for walks. Watching old movies. Being bored. Working on your purpose. And feeling life deeply. That is peace.

Section 338 in US trade law is obscure & has never been used to impose tariffs in its 96 yrs of existence. Trump's use of it to threaten Canada is hollow & would be defeated in US courts. He is thrashing around trying to look strong despite a growing list of failures. Ignore him.

I have nothing to add, your honour.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 👇🏻

Mr. President,

Wildfires do not recognize international borders. Smoke crosses borders just as hurricanes, floods, droughts, and pollution do. Canada has never blamed the United States for the smoke from California, Oregon, or Washington, just as we would not expect Americans to be blamed for hurricanes that cross into Canadian waters.

The reality is that Canada’s forests cover nearly 350 million hectares, roughly 9% of the world’s forests, much of it remote wilderness where fire has been a natural part of the ecosystem for thousands of years. No country on Earth has the capacity to remove every tree, every branch, or every piece of combustible material across landscapes of that scale.

Canada invests billions of dollars annually in wildfire prevention, forest management, firefighting, and emergency response. Thousands of Canadian firefighters, military personnel, Indigenous fire crews, and volunteers risk their lives every summer protecting communities, often alongside American firefighters under long-standing mutual aid agreements.

In return, Canada has repeatedly sent aircraft, personnel, and equipment to help fight devastating wildfires in the United States whenever called upon. That is what neighbours do.

Climate conditions, prolonged drought, lightning strikes, insect infestations, and extreme weather have all contributed to longer and more severe wildfire seasons across North America. This is a shared continental challenge, not a uniquely Canadian one.

Rather than assigning blame, Canada and the United States should continue strengthening cooperation on wildfire prevention, forest management, scientific research, firefighting capacity, and emergency preparedness.

Our two countries have always been strongest when we confront common challenges together, not when we look for someone to blame.

We thank you for your attention to this matter. Sir.

A new Calgary Chamber report estimates Alberta separation could cost up to $62B a year, thousands of dollars per person, and put 175,000 jobs at risk. There's a reason the Bank of Montreal is no longer headquartered in Montreal. Political uncertainty has real economic consequences. https://t.co/nebGlzHs3t

Uh oh..lol

The Trump administration thought they threw a punch by demanding a yearly review of the CUSMA trade deal, but they might have just actually walked right into a Canadian trap.

By forcing a constant renegotiation cycle, Washington didn't flex its muscles; it just gave Canada and Mexico a permanent, predictable mechanism to out-manoeuvre American interests.

Economically, this is a massive win for Canada.

Instead of waiting sixteen years to fix trade imbalances, Canada’s negotiating team can now use the annual review to dynamically tweak supply chains, adjustments, and tariffs.

For example, if the U.S. tries to restrict Canadian steel, Ottawa can immediately counter-balance it in the next annual cycle by leveraging critical minerals that American tech sectors desperately need.

I'm pretty sure that our Prime Minister and his trade negotiators knew EXACTLY what they were doing here lol.

They accepted the "yearly review" demand with a smile because they realized a secret technical truth: a rolling contract gives the smaller, faster partner CONSTANT leverage.

While the U.S. administration celebrates a hollow political victory, Canada can now form stronger secondary trade alliances around the world, using the constant fluidity of CUSMA to offer global markets a highly adaptive backdoor into North America.

Ultimately, Washington's attempt to keep its neighbors on a short leash seems to have backfired completely, proving that when you constantly demand to look at the contract, you give the smarter guys 365 days a year to rewrite the rules.

There might be some temper tantrums in Washington because of this.

I mean, you've GOT to give Carney some serious cred here...

Even you 'con-bros' who don't like the guy, come on..this is gold!

[Dr. Sean Mullen @drseanmullen]

Explain this to me.

We have entire careers built on showing that exercise, diet, sleep, and other health behaviors can modestly attenuate age-related neurodegeneration. The effects are often small—2% more hippocampal volume here, a little more cortical thickness there, improvements in functional connectivity, etc.

And we celebrate it (rightfully). Millions of people exercise every day chasing those gains—including people living with Parkinson’s.

But suggest wearing a mask to reduce repeated exposure to a virus with growing evidence of long-term neurological and cognitive consequences, and suddenly many of the same “health behavior” experts are like:

“Yeah… I’m not doing that.”

The disconnect is fascinating.

[Dimitris Soudas 🇨🇦⚜️🇬🇷☦️ 13.12.1943 @DimitrisSoudas]

I applaud Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to restore 24 Sussex Drive.

This is not about a house. It is about Canada’s institutions.

For more than 75 years, 24 Sussex has been the official residence of Canada’s prime ministers. It has witnessed decisions that shaped our country, welcomed world leaders, and stood as a symbol of the continuity of our democracy. Allowing such an important national institution to deteriorate was never worthy of Canada.

What makes this announcement even more significant is that it has been informed by the wisdom and experience of those who have held the office before. Former Prime Ministers Stephen Harper and Jean Chrétien have long advocated for a non-partisan solution to preserve 24 Sussex and have offered their guidance and support to help ensure this national institution is restored for future generations. Their willingness to work across political lines is a reminder that some issues rise above partisanship and speak to our shared responsibility as Canadians. (Heritage Ottawa)

Strong democracies invest in the institutions that outlast governments and political parties. We preserve Parliament. We preserve Rideau Hall. We preserve our courts and our national monuments. The official residence of the Prime Minister deserves the same respect.

Regardless of who occupies the office, Canadians should expect that the institutions representing our country reflect the dignity, history, and permanence of our democracy. Restoring 24 Sussex is an investment in Canada’s heritage, our constitutional traditions, and the generations that will lead this country long after today’s political debates have passed.

This is the right decision for Canada.

The Calgary Chamber of Commerce weighs in on the cost of separation. TLDR - it's high. Too high.

Danielle Smith is playing with fire. Keep in mind that all ten questions are separation questions. They all remove us from Canada.

[Trevor Scott Howell @TSHowell]

A Calgary noise bylaw got Danielle Smith's attention faster than the voter list data leak exposing the private information of three million Albertans.

Just sit with that for a minute.
