Since @AirCanada left my son stuck in Toronto for 8 days over Xmas with no communication, I’ve stopped using them, unless there is no other option. If I treated my clients the way they treat theirs, I wouldn’t have any…

The usual mindless drivel from Canada’s Chief Laurentian elite representative @acoyne

Andrew, let me try and spell it out for you yet again.

1. Trudeau waged a sustained economic attack on Alberta with a string of destructive laws and policies that cost Albertans hundreds of billions in investments and hundreds of thousands of jobs while dealing with a cost of living crisis fueled by your buddy, Justin’s, open borders policies and failed Keynesian monetary theories.

2. Trudeau was replaced by Carney and, as part of Energy MOU, retracted or amended the 9 bad laws you refer to.

3. As a result, we have seen tens of billions of new private sector investment announcements in Alberta with much more to be announced shortly. We knuckle draggers in Alberta call this the initial signs of an economic boom (you are forgiven if you have forgotten what that looks like).

4. Premier Smith sees this flood of investment and jobs - stemming from the repeal of most of the terrible legislation under the MOU - as evidence that we can still make Canada work for Alberta and is fighting to make that case to Albertans despite your - and those of your ilk - continuing your feckless attacks on her.

The reason for the block Andrew is I simply don’t value your opinion on the affairs of Alberta. You show your disdain for our province at every opportunity and I don’t need you clogging my feed with your 20x a day posts. But I will instead merely mute you so you can still follow my posts as I don’t wish to hurt your feelings.

Have fun on that wonderfully balanced CBC At-Issue panel trying to unpack the important issues distressing Albertans with your fellow Toronto/Montreal panelists.

@AllamFarmer Lots of learnings that can be applied.

[Kirk Morrison @KirkMMorrison]

@ryangerritsen @DavidPasko_ Ok, but does anyone really listen to @CBC anymore? If you believe the data, the answer is not many... My issue is that I’m still forced to pay for something I stopped watching/ listening to years ago because by and large, it was a lousy product.

[Jonathan Kay @jonkay]

that CBC-funded “prank” didn’t just target pundits. In @Quillette, I report on their efforts to mock a humble 82-yr-old Brockville granddad who enjoys 19th-c historical re-enanctments. Producers repeatedly lied to him for months, then exploited his trust

@avilewis Simply ridiculous…

Tonight the Boston Bruins are playing the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo.

Two American teams.

Buffalo always has someone sing both National Anthems before their games.

When the microphone cut out the crowd took over.

This is how our American friends treat us. With respect.

This is what being classy looks like. Canadians can learn something.

The Hydro-Quebec “artificially low hydro rate” argument is incorrect (and unfair) IMO. HQ offer the lowest electricity rates in the country because they have developed great assets that operate efficiently. At the same time they are profitable and generate solid returns for their shareholders - check out their financial reports. Great model for all Crown corps.

@peteremcc @Js0nb We’re the 5th largest energy producer in the world, and 4th largest energy exporter.

On the same day Justin Trudeau was spotted at a teenage music festival in California with Katie Perry, Mark Carney tells to Canadians to stay in Canada because Orange Man bad.

Justin Trudeau, Jun. 10, 2019: I'm banning Canadians from using single-use plastics!

Justin Trudeau, Apr. 12, 2026: Look at me smash booze from a solo cup at Coachella!

Well, the vast majority of the resources are owned by government. Government charge royalties to extract the publicly owned resources. They then regulate the extraction, processing and transportation of the raw and processed resources. Finally they charge and collect a bunch of taxes on the raw and processed products. So, at the end of the day governments originally sold the raw materials that went into the products, and then have a lot to do with the costs that are added on to create the products…

Recent info on migration between Canada and the US. Suggests net migration to the US…

@RodAVanier How is debt to GDP an indicator of financial sustainability?

[Kirk Morrison @KirkMMorrison]

@JeffreyLuscombe Gotta disagree. Airports and border crossings feel busy to me.
BTW, the US is a great neighbour and Americans are great friends!

Everyone needs to be reminded that a not-for-profit grocery chain exists in Canada: Co-op, and they’re across western Canada. Prices are comparable to for-profit chains.
Also Saskatchewan has a publicly owned telecoms company, SaskTel. It is a competitive market and some people still choose for-profit providers.
These are good options but not magical ones! They don’t solve poverty and hunger and they definitely aren’t 35% cheaper.
