“Canada since Mark Carney became Prime Minister in March, 2025, has outperformed everyone in America, the Eurozone and anywhere else in the world.” - Bloomberg Editor-In Chief, Matt Winkler
PM Carney trolls Donald Trump: "I would like to inform you that the teleprompter has ceased to function. Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy."
I would note that in addition to finding billions for scandalous priorities, our current government also manages to LOSE billions of dollars, with no explanation of where the money has disappeared to

I heard about rehab centers essentially abducting Native Americans in Arizona, holding them hostage, and billing medicaid $8000 a day. I went there to look into it - and it was so much worse than I expected.
My full story is tonight on @NewsNation at 11pm.
Two top Republicans, both originally pro-Trump, confirm the US attacked Spain using Morocco as a proxy.
US paid Morocco at least $40M two weeks before the Ceuta breach. People were reportedly lured into participating through social media, while the breach was amplified as a "migrant invasion" online by US, Israeli and Russian disinformation and disruption networks, and compromised media networks and politicians on right wing legacy media.
COVID can *never* become like the flu because it is a vascular virus.
It travels all over your vasculature and can harm virtually all organs and organ systems.
Flu is a respiratory virus, not a vascular one. It stays in your respiratory system.
An email went out: an ER in Northwestern Ontario would close during the wildfire crisis unless a doctor could get there.
Dr. @ShamjiAdil went north and worked a 30+ hour shift to help keep it open.
He came back with a firsthand look at what Northern Ontario’s healthcare workers and patients are up against every day.

March 26th: Tina Yazdani’s last report with CityNews
March 29th: Doug Ford has private meeting with Rogers CEO
April 13th: Tina announces she was fired by CityNews (Rogers)
NEW: Some Ontario education contract talks have stalled before they’ve even begun.
The first fight isn’t over wages or class sizes: it’s over the bargaining rules themselves.
OSSTF and OSBCU say the Ford government is trying to move more decisions from local bargaining tables to Queen’s Park. The dispute could delay talks for weeks or even months.
Ontario may be home to the largest share of AI data centres in Canada, and proposals for new ones in the GTA are piling up, but the Ford government has yet to unveil the rules governing which projects get approved & which get rejected.
My exchange with Energy Minister Stephen Lecce here:
Cet automne, pour la première fois depuis 250 ans, ma famille ne récoltera pas d'olives au Liban.
Nos 600 oliviers ont été arrachés du sol par l'armée israélienne, racines comprises, et emportés. Les plus vieux avaient 500 ans !
Cette terre, mon grand-père la tenait de son arrière-grand-père. En deux siècles et demi, ma famille a acheté de la terre. Elle n'en a jamais vendu un mètre, pas un seul jour. Chez nous, on ne construit pas sur la terre. On y plante. Ces arbres ont survécu à plusieurs guerres. Ils ont survécu à tout.
Regardez les deux photos. À gauche, notre terre le 25 juin, la veille de la signature de l'accord entre le Liban et Israël. À droite, la même terre le 20 juillet.
Il ne reste rien. Et c’est justement ça, la preuve. Un incendie laisse des troncs noirs debout. Une frappe laisse des cratères. Ici, pas un tronc calciné, pas une souche, pas un débris. Une terre nue, raclée, griffée par les chenilles des engins. Déterrer un olivier de 500 ans sans le tuer demande des pelleteuses, un savoir-faire, des camions et une destination. Ce n’est pas un dégât de guerre. C’est une opération, sur une terre où il n’y avait ni armes, ni combattants, ni présence militaire. Ma famille n'a jamais été liée de près ou de loin au Hezbollah, et elle ne le sera jamais. Il n'y avait que des arbres, et des gens qui les taillent depuis huit générations.
D'après les témoignages qui nous parviennent, ces arbres auraient été emportés de l'autre côté de la frontière, vers Israël.
L'accord signé entre le Liban et Israël, censé préparer la paix, protège les biens des civils. Je demande simplement qu'il soit appliqué : que le sort des arbres déterrés soit établi, que ceux qui sont encore vivants soient rendus. Si nos arbres sont vivants quelque part, ils peuvent revenir. Je ne cherche pas une vengeance. Je cherche une adresse !
J'ai hésité à écrire ces lignes, pour ne pas provoquer des réactions d'un côté comme de l'autre. Mais je refuse de faire le deuil de ces oliviers. Dans ces arbres vit l'âme de mon grand-père, ancien général de la police libanaise, un homme qui a toujours cru dans la paix, dans les humains et dans la lumière. Il taillait ces arbres à mains nues. Il répétait : “on ne vend pas la terre, on la transmet”
Je lui dois de ne pas me taire.
"We were told not to worry."
Chief Helen Paavola of Namaygoosisagagun (Collins) First Nation says it was a CN Rail employee (not provincial emergency officials) who called to warn the community to evacuate. Children helped in the evacuation. They had less than 1 hour to move everyone.
Last week in Thunder Bay, MNR Minister @mikeharrisjrpc said the fire that destroyed the community had started the previous day. Local reporting shows that same fire was first reported on May 31.
The contradictions are mounting. Provincial leadership has been caught not paying attention, lying, obfuscating, and evading valid questions about the fires (but happily taking questions about northern resource development).
Ontario needs an independent public inquiry into this wildfire season. Please call & email your MPP and ask for a #OntarioWildfireInquiry

The FDA has announced that 1.6 million eggs have been contaminated with salmonella, forcing a nationwide recall.
Last year, the Trump administration scrapped regulations to limit salmonella and laid off hundreds of food safety inspection workers.
NEW: As Ontario barrels through what is projected to be its worst wildfire season on record, the union representing wildland firefighters says the province is 34 crews short of its approved wildfire crew complement.
The Ford government disputes the claim, saying there is no crew target to meet.

In all my years in politics I have never witnessed something like this happen.
Around the 9 minute mark in the interview @JillDunlop1 staffer takes over, has a back and forth with the interviewer and then ends the interview.
Unbelievable.
Same Starbucks order twice today (latte and a breakfast sandwich), first at the airport in Edmonton (CA$13.79) and then in downtown Seattle (US$ 14.16). Do we blame Trudeau? Or Carney? Or supply management? (and yes, I do lack originality).
BREAKING: A Progressive Conservative MPP is being accused of using public funds to “further the private interests” of his own family, just days after the revelation that he billed taxpayers thousands to stay in downtown Toronto hotel rooms.
