Good statement by Carney. Sounds like Doug Ford, too.

[Dale Smith @journo_dale]

Retaliatory tariffs do not require legislation. There is no actual need to recall Parliament.

BREAKING: US President Donald Trump says Canada and Mexico will be slapped with 25% tariffs on Feb 1.

Forget the Carbon Tax Election. This election is very clearly going to be run on Memes - just, hopefully, not won by them. #cdnpoli

The race is officially underway with @cafreeland and @karinagould's announcements today, but there's only one week left before registration to vote in the Liberal leadership race closes. Link here. https://t.co/3Cwg6ZZ91U

This is well done. I think captures public mood better than Carney so far. Yes you want someone who can stay cool under fire — but you also want a fighter.

Hahaha... I love that Liz Truss still feels she's an authority on these things, despite having to resign as PM after 45 days in office because her economic plan was so banana pancakes the pound crashed and her own party made her step down. But ok, Thanks for the advice, Liz.

[Liz Truss @trussliz]

After printing too much money at @bankofengland, promoting disastrous Net Zero policies and backing @RachelReevesMP growth killing economic plans....

...it seems @MarkJCarney wants to inflict these terrible ideas on Canada.

Resist, Canadians. Resist. 🇬🇧🇨🇦

[Mike Bloomberg @MikeBloomberg]

Excited to see @MarkJCarney running for Canadian Prime Minister. His deep understanding of people, markets, and public service, combined with his integrity and proven leadership, has made a meaningful impact globally. Mark is a leader who pairs vision with action and has a strong grasp of the economic challenges families and communities face today. I wish him every success on this important new journey.

How often does a Canadian party leader candidacy announcement make world news? #cdnpoli #cdnpolitics

[BBC News (World) @BBCWorld]

Mark Carney runs for leader of Canada's Liberal Party https://t.co/AFcib2iHZZ

[Bonnie Crombie 🇨🇦 @BonnieCrombie]

Doug Ford is running from the RCMP’s investigation on his Greenbelt scandal.

At a time when Ontario needs leadership the most, Doug Ford wants to abandon his post and call a $175 million election so he can cling to power.

That’s not leadership.

[Polling Canada @CanadianPolling]

So much for a 'Carbon Tax Election' eh?

[Samantha van der Beek @SamvanderBeek]

@KevMVickers is very clearly here for @MarkJCarney. And, well, I'm just generally here for Kevin Vickers.

[Samantha van der Beek @SamvanderBeek]

I love how all the conservatives are banging on about Mark Carney being an "outsider." At least he's been outside #cdnpoli

The @fordnation government hasn't opened a single major transit project since they were elected @PrabSarkaria #goexpansion #onpoli https://t.co/pY00FzMFFX

[Samantha van der Beek @SamvanderBeek]

FYI for anyone using @Metrolinx #Kitchenerline: You're probably not going to see all day service between Kitchener and Union until 2032, because when Metrolinx bought it from CN for 80M in 2014, part of the deal was CN would still have freight rights. BUT the line needs to be electrified for all day service and many of CN's freight trains using the line are diesel (or will be changed to a different electrification system than GO's). Apparently, it took a decade for them to see the problem here, because last week Ford proposed a study for dedicated freight lines #GoExpansion @PrabSarkaria @fordnation Please correct me if I'm wrong. (And yes, I know they can't find a substation site, but) This is insane... What will it take to get the Kitchener line service to provide full service to Kitchener?
