@AnitaAnandMP Basically acknowledging that your party’s policies have put millions of people into poverty. Wonderful.

We’re building the first public AI supercomputer, owned and operated in Canada, to power innovation across every sector.

From healthcare to clean energy to startups scaling here at home, this is about making sure the future is built here.

Applications are open.

🇨🇦
Nous construisons le premier superordinateur public dédié à l'intelligence artificielle, appartenant à et exploité par le Canada, afin de stimuler l'innovation dans tous les secteurs.

Des soins de santé à l'énergie propre, en passant par les start-ups qui se développent ici même, notre objectif est de faire en sorte que l'avenir se bâtisse ici.

Nous acceptons désormais les candidatures.

Trudeau prorogued government to avoid a non confidence vote, shut down government for over 8 months, resigned, inserted Carney on a liberal Party leadership race that included his godsons mom, two members he kicked out and his BFF that was resigning anyways. Ran on a bullshit platform of TDS that he’s broken over 4 timeline promises on.
Then backdoor bribed cushy positions for floor crossers to gain a majority.

Toronto is stuck in endless Liberal loop. The electoral system in Canada is completely broken. We have 3 areas in the country holding Canadians hostage from any other choice other than the Liberals. And people wonder why Alberta wants to separate.

@iyervignesh @MerruX @JavierBlas Nope. it’s 20mm minus the 5 that was flowing across EW pipeline. Minus the 2 that can theoretically get EW to nameplate. Plus SPR releases have never ramped to more than 1.3 mm b/d and didn’t happen immediately. This will be bigger than that. Butnwere talking 20-5-2-2 =11 deficit

This is the perfect European tweet. It is the Platonic ideal of contemporary European civilization. It is flawless in every way. I didn't think it could be done, but it has everything.

@avilewis @acoyne You’re on the wrong side of history

For the record.

Carney Can’t Have It Both Ways.

“The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.”

In Davos, Mark Carney invoked the Melian Dialogue to warn that middle powers risk ending up on the menu. Yet the irony of his own performance was hard to miss: he spoke like Athens while presiding over something much closer to Melos.

Canada must drop Davos theatre. Confronted with Trump’s Greenland gambit, a 100 per cent tariff threat, and a new National Security Strategy that weaponises trade, Ottawa cannot afford one more round of slogan‑heavy multilateralism and moral posturing. The age of performative politics and virtue signalling is over; this is the era of the Trump doctrine.

Carney, more than most, should recognise the shift. As Trudeau’s economic adviser, he was present at the creation of a model that traded hard leverage for international applause while Canadians faced stagnating productivity, unaffordable housing, and eroding clout in Washington. His Davos talk of “rupture” and middle‑power coalitions risks sounding like a refined version of that same globalist script.

While his speech aroused nationalism in many parts of Canada, it did the country a disservice by implying that Ottawa enjoys far more power and room for manoeuvre than it actually does in a harsher Realpolitik world. Canada is not Athens; it is, uncomfortably, closer to Melos.

He now needs to be honest with Canadians: the relationship with the United States is priority number one. Carney must come clean, drop the happy talk, and start implementing a serious strategy of economic sovereignty with the US as its main driver.

If he wants to lead Canada through this storm, he cannot have it both ways. He must move from panels to power politics: build a tough, explicitly transactional relationship with Washington; ensure any deal with China clearly satisfies Trump’s stated national security concerns; and accept that on defence and intelligence Canada is a junior partner that must bargain accordingly.

At home, he needs to stop hiding behind an overgrown bureaucracy, abandon the illusion that climate policy can double as industrial strategy, and confront the depth of alienation in Alberta, which increasingly sees Confederation as a mechanism for enriching eastern elites while treating the West as a carbon colony.

The choice is stark. Either Carney abandons his globalist reflexes and defends Canadian sovereignty with hard instruments of statecraft, or he becomes Trudeau with better lines – a Melian orator in an Athenian world that has run out of patience for beautiful speeches from the weak.
