Jim Balsillie (formerly of RIM/Blackberry) on Mark Carney:
"Whether it’s his perspectives on incentives, investment, climate strategies or productivity, Mr. Carney’s economic proposals to date represent the very establishment that has for the past 30 years peddled ossified and distorted ideas about the economy that manifested a systemic erosion of Canada’s prosperity. A more confident and efficient version of Mr. Trudeau will not make Canada’s economy grow. Instead, Mr. Carney’s economic policy proposals will simply perpetuate the status quo, making Canada more vulnerable, less prosperous and less sovereign."
From the Globe and Mail article "Mark Carney will not make Canada more prosperous"

@WSOnlineNews Am I the only one that wonders how someone not born here, not raised here, and seems, not the same values as those that were... Has inserted himself into the middle of this?
🚨 Young Canadian just dropped a brutal truth bomb on Mark Carney and the Liberals.
The exact demographic that got them elected — seniors over 50 — is now getting screwed:
• Cutting Old Age Security (OAS)
• Cutting funding for senior citizens’ homes
• Cooking the books by putting CPP on the government balance sheet like it’s their money (it’s NOT — it belongs to Canadians)
Same week? They announce another couple hundred million to Ukraine… while Ukraine builds a **billion-dollar ski resort** for tourism.
Your tax dollars are funding luxury infrastructure abroad while Canadian seniors get the knife and new home builds tank at home.
This is what “thank you for electing us” looks like from Carney and the Liberals.
Seniors who voted Liberal… still feeling the love? Or are you done?
Drop a 🔥 if you’re sick of Canada Last politics.

Most of the net gain has been in full-time jobs. Over the last 18 months, full-time employment is up solidly—around 4% year-over-year as of April, with levels hitting about 2.2 million. Part-time has been flatter or slightly down in some stretches.
Recent months show more volatility: April 2026 saw a drop of over 11,000 full-time jobs but a gain of 12,400 part-time ones, keeping total employment stable. Earlier periods, like mid-2025, had strong full-time surges. Overall, the growth isn't shifting heavily toward part-time.
