[Glen Murray @Glen4Climate]

It's time to cut through the politics, ideology, and policy-making that have become detached from reality.

Our economic and environmental challenges share the same underlying cause: declining #productivity . The irony is that productivity is also the solution.

We are facing a #productivitycrisis in manufacturing, labour, investment, innovation, infrastructure, community planning, education, and the stewardship of our natural systems. We are producing less value from every dollar invested, every hour worked, every unit of energy consumed, every tonne of material extracted, and every hectare of land developed. We are building a low-productivity economy, and every year the consequences become more severe.

We need to shift immediately to a high-productivity economy. Governments should judge every policy, every regulation, and every public investment by one simple test: "Will it build the tax base or the tax burden?"

Building the tax base means creating more value with fewer inputs. It means eliminating waste, increasing innovation, improving the productivity of labour and capital, strengthening our communities, and restoring the health and productivity of the natural systems on which every economy depends.

This is not an economic agenda or an environmental agenda. It is both. A productive economy and healthy ecosystems are inseparable. One cannot exist for long without the other.

If productivity becomes the foundation of public policy, we can build a more prosperous, resilient, and sustainable future. If it does not, we will continue to debate symptoms while the underlying problem grows worse.

The choice is ours, but the consequences will not be. #Canpoli

Well done Premier! @WabKinew

**THIS MAN WILL BE PM ONE DAY!** 🇨🇦

Wab Kinew just fired back at those American Congress ambulance chasers hunting for cheap Instagram clicks instead of doing their actual jobs. While real heroes — including American firefighters — battle our wildfires and save lives, these politicians politicize tragedy for likes.

No place for that during a state of emergency. Canada stands strong, handles our forests, and helps our neighbours. Proud of leaders who put people first.

@JayGenXer You try to live life in front of a microphone, think on your feet and answer multiple questions. This is your idea of an issue. Really?

[Glen Murray @Glen4Climate]

@ArmstrongCurt @FoodProfessor Watch the interview.

[Glen Murray @Glen4Climate]

@YoungStreete When and what did he lie about? He didn't. Disagree but don't fabricate.

[Glen Murray @Glen4Climate]

@billmaher @AOC @ZohranKMamdani Wonder why?

[Glen Murray @Glen4Climate]

@FoodProfessor Oh, I am and watched your interviews with Hoekstra. It was clear you had little background or knowledge of the project. He said things that were not true and you accepted them as fact.

If you want to understand what disinformation campaigns against Canada look like, start here.

They are amplified by bots, covert foreign influence operations, partisan media ecosystems, algorithms—and sometimes by unwitting Canadians who become their most effective messengers. Ace of Spades is a classic.

Russia, China and other foreign powers have learned that they do not need to invent every division. They can identify existing grievances, target the people most likely to amplify them, and flood social media with narratives designed to turn citizens against one another and undermine trust in elections, Parliament, democratic institutions and elected leaders—including @PierrePoilievre, @MarkJCarney and others.

But the threat does not come only from traditional foreign adversaries.

Canada is also increasingly exposed to U.S.-based MAGA disinformation and political influence campaigns that export American conspiracy theories, false claims about Canadian elections and institutions, attacks on Canadian sovereignty, and narratives portraying Canada as illegitimate, broken—or even as something that should become America's “51st state.”

The lines often blur. Foreign adversaries can amplify American disinformation; American influencers can repeat foreign narratives; algorithms reward outrage; and Canadians themselves can unknowingly carry the message the rest of the way.

Known foreign influence operations include Spamouflage, Doppelganger and Storm-1516. Other extremist, separatist and highly partisan networks and brands—including Diagolon, Beautiful Canada and the Alberta 51 Project—exist within the broader information ecosystem in which disinformation can be amplified and exploited.

The objective is rarely to make everyone believe the same lie.

It is to make Canadians distrust one another.

Distrust our elections. Distrust Parliament. Distrust our institutions. Distrust Canada itself.

A democracy does not have to be conquered if it can be persuaded to tear itself apart.

✔️ Anita Anand is not Canadian. Her parents came here from the Punjab and they never assimilated.

Anand and her husband made millions in profit when he became an agent for buying & distributing the Covid Vaccines when she was in Trudeau’s Cabinet.

Never does she ever call out the terrorist gangs from Pakistan and she has been identified as compromised.

Her Foreign Ministry Department claims to have just fired 25 employees - 11 others quit - who are under investigation - including a diplomat caught in secret "inappropriate" contact with unnamed "foreign gov't officials." 

Anand is on repeat and looking for a way out. Beware her Optics.

Mark Carney is ending this week as poorly as he started. Anita Anand tied to her department cozying up to Hostile Foreign Governments,Carney than hires a Non Speaking American as COO because there were No Competent Candidates now Carney is giving The US more than what he stated with The Gordie Howe Bridge. I’m guessing Carney is soon dodging Canada.

[Lianne Rood, M.P. Middlesex-London @Lianne_Rood]

Maia Johnson, Carney’s new hire, worked on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2016.

She is a registered Democrat and is now Canada’s first COO (Chief Operating Officer), giving her full control of the PMO.

She is unelected.

Who is she?

Nobody in Canada knows who she is, except Mark Carney.

The current Liberal government works under a cloud of secrecy, from shutting down committee work to firing the Parliamentary Budget Officer who blew the whistle on deficit spending.

Carney’s tactics serve nobody but himself.

If you want to understand what foreign disinformation looks like, start here.

It is amplified by bots, covert influence operations, and sometimes by unwitting Canadians—especially hyper-partisans—who spread falsehoods, attack the integrity of our elections, undermine confidence in Parliament, and vilify Canadian leaders, including @PierrePoilievre, @MarkJCarney, and other elected officials.

Russia demonstrated during Brexit how foreign actors can exploit existing domestic divisions to weaken democratic institutions, alliances such as NATO, and public trust. Today, sophisticated algorithms identify and target people most likely to amplify divisive narratives.

Confirmed foreign influence operations include Spamouflage, Doppelganger, and Storm-1516. Domestic extremist or separatist movements and brands—including Diagolon, Beautiful Canada, and the Alberta 51 Project—have also been amplified or exploited within the broader disinformation ecosystem.

The objective is not to persuade everyone. It is to divide Canadians, erode trust in democracy, and turn us against one another.

@Roman_Baber @acoyne @globeandmail Roman
I strongly suggest you do not just react emotionally to a grounded argument but provide a little evidence that their some rationale for your position.

[Glen Murray @Glen4Climate]

Dear Roman

Didn't you once say, "Politics is the cancer on government"?

If that's your standard, your own political career is a curious case study. You spent much of your adult life supporting a leader whose career has been almost entirely in politics since 2004, with little experience outside partisan politics before entering Parliament.

Yet now you dismiss someone who brings decades of experience in finance, central banking, crisis management, and international economic leadership as nothing more than "hype."

That's a difficult position to reconcile. If politics without real-world experience is the problem, shouldn't you be applying the same standard consistently? So what are you and Pierre doing in that place?

[Glen Murray @Glen4Climate]

@ryangerritsen How is it fear. It is what I see out my window. You are sounding like a snow flake who takes a view our city in smoke as a micro aggression. Toughen up.
