Mary Bryton from Whitefish River First Nation in Ontario, closed Tuesday’s cabinet swearing-in ceremony with a rendition of O Canada sung in English, French and Anishinaabemowin. Take a listen.
You say the Conservative platform “sounds pretty good.” Yet there’s:
Nothing for the agriculture sector.
Nothing on mining, potash, or critical minerals.
Nothing for the Saskatchewan economy you keep saying you care about.
If you actually believed your own rhetoric—instead of just creating divisions for your own political gain—you’d be demanding better, and you’d be right to do so.
During the 2008 financial crisis, former Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan and I worked together to protect Canadians from the worst of the stock market crash.
Thanks for your support, Dwight — then, and now.
Congratulations to Prime Minister Mark Carney and cabinet. In my roles as Minister, I gave it my all, every day, for Indigenous Peoples and for the newest of Canadians. I would have liked to continue, but I have no regrets. I loved every minute, no matter how difficult the job.
Our Board of Directors has approved the site for the Indian Residential Schools National Monument (First Nations, Metis, and Inuit).
This monument will overlook the Ottawa River on Parliament Hill next to the West Block building.

The Liberal Party of Canada is aware of these ridiculous, fraudulent registration attempts. The national Party Secretary has the ability to remove registrants from our lists, and will be removing these fraudulent profiles well in advance of any leadership vote.

NEW - BC’s 36th premier, John Horgan @jjhorgan, died of cancer this morning at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria. He revealed he had cancer for a third time in June.
i’m fine with argument that newspapers should be independent/shouldn’t make political endorsements.
but idea that bezos would make that decision a week before the most consequential election of his life, in defense of the candidate who makes unprecedented attacks against an independent press as “enemies of the people” is the biggest weenie move i’ve ever seen from a billionaire.
and that’s a high bar.
Can we not go a week without finding out another @Conservative_BC member holds and espouses racist remarks about indigenous people. @JohnRustad4BC says these comments don’t reflect values or vision of the party. So I’m assuming they will not be welcome in the party, right John?
