Canada is investing $17.2M in four renewable energy projects in Nunavut — targeting 50%+ diesel offset in some communities.

This is much-needed and long overdue. Nunavut communities deserve clean, affordable, reliable energy. 🙌

Sleepiest mayor ever. Major accomplishment is maximizing parking revenues and endless parking surveillance.

And Pierre Poilievre is telling fables at news conferences about “someone he met at the airport” moving from Vancouver to Mexico because it is safer. 😂

Of all the things that did not happen, this one did not happen the most.

According to the Canadian Pay Equity Commissioner’s report, among just 12% of federal employers, 20% reported owing women an average pay increase of $2.37 per hour. How much is owed to the women workers of the other 88% of federal employers?

The real Canadian humiliation is the deafening silence by Carney and Anand in the face of this question:
Why is Canada not standing up for Canadian businesses in Cuba? https://t.co/a6KocUQEj6

[J.E. Fred Wilson @fwilson2]

So long standing Canadian businesses have been driven out of Cuba by US sanctions, and Canada does nothing, while US businesses are using “loopholes” to increase their business in Cuba?

[Stephen Wicary @wicary]

US exports to Cuba have surged dramatically this year as businesses use a trade loophole to get fuel, appliances, furniture, food and vehicles past Donald Trump’s wall of sanctions, @SmithMarkets reports https://t.co/jQtkz0OpwB

[Texas Democratic Party @texasdemocrats]

Governor Abbott closed out his speech at the Texas GOP convention with a live elephant. It then peed on the floor as it left the room.

The perfect metaphor for the Texas Republican Party.

Nous remercions le député @yfblanchet, chef du @BlocQuebecois, pour sa préoccupation à l’égard de la situation que traverse le peuple de #Cuba en raison de la politique agressive des États-Unis, qui, comme il le souligne à juste titre, préoccupe de nombreuses personnes.

[Embacuba_Canada @EmbacubaCanada]

At a time when the media war against #Cuba is intensifying in an effort to justify the blockade and even a potential U.S. military aggression, it is important to have voices committed to the truth.

Thank you, Mr. Angus!

Whether real GDP growth is slightly below or slightly above zero, is irrelevant. What matters is boosting spending power & investment in all sectors (including the public sector) to offset the damage of Trump's madness. My take for @TorontoStar: https://t.co/KyXGsToPu9 #cdnecon
