Analysts suggest and I agree that pipeline approval will not fully address the underlying motivations driving the Alberta separatist movement. It remains a matter of debate I suppose, whether external observers fully grasp the depth of concerns within the province.

Kinder Morgan threatened to walk away (for good reasons) and forced the federal governments hand. Trudeau is primarily responsible for this boondoggle. Kinder Morgan celebrated.

Exactly this. Exactly. Smith is not a team player. He brings receipts.

@TamaraUgo Typical Liberal thinking: She says we need to be 'brought along'—meaning she thinks we don't understand or know where to go. Relax, though: Melanie Joly and the Liberals do. 🙃

Getting into bed with China. The risk of Carney's desire for a New World Order.

[CTV Question Period @ctvqp]

"Diplomacy is necessary, grinning is optional and looking like a supplicant is undignified," said former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig about some of Prime Minister Mark Carney's actions and statements while in China. "That's not a good look."

Victory, justice prevails, but considerable damage has been done. Who will be held to account?

Update: The federal government has lost its appeal on a ruling by the Federal Court that found the invocation of the Emergencies Act during the 2022 Freedom Convoy Protests was unjustified

Carney's New World Order: China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, welcome Canada to the bloc.

[cbcwatcher @cbcwatcher]

Steven Chase asks why Carney told his two MPs to cut short their visit to Taiwan "And is this an indication we're willing to tailor our foreign policy to placate Beijing?"

Carney "One is our policy with respect to Taiwan, our One China policy, which was set in 1970, has not changed."

And nothing has changed in fifty five years?

So yes, it was an indication Carney is willing to tailor foreign policy to placate Beijing... @stevenchase

Bureaucrats are placing strict limits on the days parents are allowed to take their children out of school — even for family holidays. No automatic right to a few days off in term time, just fines and 'exceptional circumstances' required. When did the state get to decide family time? #Education #ParentsRights

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Parents should have the right to take their children out of school during term-time for a limited number of days.

One small change that would make life just a bit easier for working mums and dads. I will continue to make the argument in Westminster and beyond.

We are seeing ongoing challenges with the economy and economic decision-making, persistent fraud and crime trends, and gradually declining trust in key public institutions.

Let's hope that justice prevails.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

As we wrestle in my home state of Minnesota with the fact of deep corruption in the political and economic orders, I want to draw attention to the “social justice” dimension of this problem. Catholic social teaching has a good deal to say about official corruption, insisting that it undermines confidence in our leaders, compromises the integrity of the institutions of government, and subverts the rule of law. But even more importantly, it deeply harms the poor, stealing resources from them, increasing inequality, and blocking essential services such as health and education. And if the widespread fraud in Minnesota is also present in a number of other states, we are dealing with a massive violation of human rights and a heinous attack upon the poor and needy. This should not be a matter of partisan politics. Rather, wherever this corruption exists, it should be fought and those responsible for it brought to justice.

Pray for the Iranian people, for strength, peace, and freedom.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

I want to celebrate the bravery of thousands of people who are engaging in protest against the oppressive regime in Iran. I remember vividly when the Ayatollah Khomeini was swept to power some forty-six years ago, and I have witnessed the steady and vicious attacks on human dignity perpetrated by the corrupt theocracy he established. Moreover, I’ve watched as the Iranian kleptocracy has systematically de-stabilized the Middle East by fostering Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations. Please God that this dishonorable government, which has been a source of so much mischief and suffering these past several decades, will find its way to the trash-heap of history.

[Catholic Sat @CatholicSat]

Pope Leo XIV to the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See:

“It is painful to see how, especially in the West, the space for genuine freedom of expression is rapidly shrinking.  At the same time, a new Orwellian-style language is developing which, in an attempt to be increasingly inclusive, ends up excluding those who do not conform to the ideologies that are fueling it.”

Carney butters Zelensky's bread. Don't you think he was a part of what was in play?

@MikeBarrettON What’s worse is the timeline.

[Kim Pasula @KimPasula]

@bruce_mcgonigal Politicians & protesters can't have it both ways.
They're thrilled Maduro is gone, yet condemn the US for making it happen.
So which do they actually prefer: the American strategy... or Maduro still in power?

[Kim Pasula @KimPasula]

@spittinchiclets Protect yourself at all times.

[Kim Pasula @KimPasula]

Maduro captured, Venezuela liberated, Trump dancing like he owns the world (because he kinda does right now).

I once saw a man standing at a parking meter, coin in hand, debating whether to feed it for more time. In the end, he walked away without inserting the coin and slipped it back into his pocket.
What does this suggest about the likelihood that he was parking on a business or government expense account?
#EconomicsInRealLife #MiltonFriedman #FreeToChoose

[Steve Burns @SJosephBurns]

Economics 101:

Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money:

1). Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality).

2). Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality).

3). Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost).

4). Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither).

The last one is how government spending works.

Happy to hear that @boxing_canada has become part of a growing list of sporting organizations who, like the vast majority of Albertans, recognize that women and girls have the right to play competitive sports in safe and fair environments against other biological females.

We are calling on Skate Canada to reverse their disgraceful anti-women boycott.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Premier Smith is right: biological men don’t belong in women’s sports—period.

Protect safety and fairness for women and girls.
