Lydia Miljan on Carney's NYT war comments "Honestly, I think it was just bonkers."

"You know, it makes no sense what he said to the American media."

" And I think it's quite actually insulting to the Canadian media that he continually does this."

"He drops these huge statements to the American press where... he quite rightly knows they're not going to challenge him on it." @lmiljan

Remember when the Liberals said the Rogers-Shaw merger would lower our phone bills? What happened? Bills still went up & 1000s were out of work.

Now the Liberals are pitching airport privatization while protecting passengers.

Do you believe them?

Estoy harto de oír a la gente decir: «Fue solo Hamás».

Miles de civiles de Gaza invadieron Israel el 7 de octubre de 2023 y, además, violaron, lincharon asesinaron y secuestraron a personas inocentes.

Decenas de miles de gazatíes celebraron aquel día.

This joining the E.U. psyop (i.e. manufactured consent) being pumped into the minds of Canadians is insane. A thread.

Europe is crumbling economically and politically. This is because of the same policy set (and people?) that have caused the worst economic stagnation in Canada in a generation. Naive 'Green' energy policy has gutted its industrial base; the insatiable leviathan of public spending; and a regulatory boa constrictor that protects incumbents and crushes entrepreneurial spirit and, yes, mass immigration.

Germany, Europe's most important economy, is hemorrhaging jobs. For 17 months and counting, employment has shrunk.

Vassy Kapelos: on the airports, the PM nor the Liberals campaigned on privatizing Canada's four largest airports let alone opening them up to private investment. It was "never put to the electorate".

Almost 25 years on from September 11, 2001, a drone display using 2,977 drones has recreated the Twin Towers, each representing a life lost in the attacks.

“If things don’t go well, I want you to know I absolutely love you. I want you to do good, have good times, and I’ll see you when you get there. Bye babe,” Brian Sweeney’s message from a hijacked plane three minutes before hitting a tower on 9/11

[James J. Marlow @James_J_Marlow]

For those who are 26 years old or younger, this clip is NOT Ai.

It’s when Islamists hijacked passenger aircraft, killed crew members and crashed the planes into the twin towers.

You may be supporting Hamas and “the resistance” but September 11, 2001 is when it started.

I stood this morning at the 9/11 memorial at ground zero in NYC this morning. It is 25 years ago (minus one day) since those dreadful attacks killed 2,753, including 67 British citizens and so many brave rescuers and firemen.

To put the passing of these 25 years into context - I was born in 1966 in a British military hospital on the north German plain near where Montgomery took the surrender of the Nazi Army in 1945, and only 25 years after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour.

And if that doesn’t prove how fleeting is the notion of “peace”, we just have to look east and observe how the mighty Ukrainians are fighting and dying to evict Russian invaders from their country.

Yet we, sensible, experienced and clear-eyed British citizens stand dumbfounded today reflecting on how the current, lightweight, daytime-TV-version of a Prime Minister of the UK, the utterly ridiculous @andyburnham of @labour tells us that he will prioritize “social security” over “national security”….

Is he mad, myopic, ignorant or something much much worse?

$TVE Tamarack and Headwater Exploration & $HWX Headwater announce they have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement whereby the two companies will merge in an all-stock transaction valued at $10 billion.

Some friends challenged each other to wear the most ridiculous pants they could find, at the airport...

Each one is better than the last! 🤣

Issy Sharp built Four Seasons from the cheapest street in Toronto. Then he lost his son to cancer, backed Terry Fox when almost nobody was watching, and helped turn that run into a billion dollars for research.

That’s a Canadian builder.

I’ve gotten to know him. One of the greatest on the planet.

[KB @CGYGal]

@AdamMacVicar Take a browse of @KybrdWrrr timeline. Acct has done extensive research (W/receipts!) of all the spending that’s occuring by city to date. It’s staggering, much like those proposed increases!

[Adam MacVicar @AdamMacVicar]

SCOOP: Preliminary and confidential budget documents obtained by Global News show a 20.2% property tax increase would be required next year to fund all the budget requests in front of Calgary city council.

Work is underway to prioritize those requests.

Before the @globeandmail opines on using energy as a weapon, perhaps it would behove them to publish this map and educate Ontario as to where their oil comes from. Be careful weaponizing energy as it may get weaponized against you, and there would be no response.

[Travis Dhanraj @Travisdhanraj]

Here’s some media literacy: impartiality does not require journalists to treat established facts as matters of opinion. 9/11 was a terrorist attack. Full stop. That has been established. Long established. Calling it one is not editorializing or making a judgement call. If this policy was truly so “carefully considered,” you’d think @CBC management might have solved that journalistic mystery before the public had to do it for them. The problem isn’t that @CBCNews reversed course. It’s that management needed a public backlash to recognize the obvious flaw in their JSP.

"We will never surrender sovereignty over this unceded land we're illegally occupying."

[Richard Dias @RichardDias_CFA]

Some in the Canadian media, a few members of parliament, and many on Twitter seem not to bother reading the excellent and FREE research on the Canadian economy that is readily available.

As a result, it makes for poor discussions about how screwed we are, how we got here (hint: it's not tariffs), and what, if anything, we can do to get out of it.

So in an effort to improve this, here's a list of resources that I rely on every day. I encourage you to share one that you like below.
