If you're a journalist, researcher, policymaker, trade analyst, or just curious about what Canada actually trades — give it a spin.

Everyone's talking about trade diversification right now. Reducing dependence on the US. New markets. New partners.

But finding and navigating the actual trade data? It's buried across databases, hard to explore, and even harder to compare.

So I built a tool to make it easy.

We also track interprovincial trade — which provinces trade what with each other — and international services such as consulting, finance, telecom, and travel.

All open. All free. All accessible. Built in BC.

@build_canada Building Canvex - Trade Data Platform

Canada's trade data is public. But good luck actually using it.

I built a platform so you can do just that. 154.6M records, 37 years, every province, every partner.

Felt like the right time.

@shuvmajumdar Have you been living under a rock? Its not Beijings new world order but Trumps? Where and who exactly do you think is going to buy all the oil that comes out of your province?

@ellisbross But can you not start speaking to those involved before a proposal is done? Why do things have to be done only in a specific way?

Conscripts were forced to sign contracts in 2014-2015 as well. The fact that the Russian military is relying on conscripts for this war is both a sign of weakness for the Russian military and an even greater political risk for Putin. Conscripts are not supposed to be sent to war.

China's permanent representative to the UN, Zhang Jun, explains the abstention. "We believe that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states should be respected and that the purposes and principles of the UN Charter should be upheld."

@l_stone @BillBlair @fordnation So @fordnation can unilaterally apply mandatory quarantine measures... but he's just been whining about more federal assistance in closing the border? I guess he probably doesn't want pay for mandatory quarantines.

According to NDP my labour is worth $15/hour, but my life isn't worth $16.36. Got it.
