Steven Guilbeault on losing the communications battle to the Conservatives on the consumer carbon price: "We lost that communication battle and we lost about 15-20% of the population's support. They were very good at their communications. We were very bad."

Steven Guilbeault on the MOU and Alberta separatism: "When you look at the support for separatism in Alberta, contrary to popular belief it didn't flame up when Justin Trudeau was Prime Minister — it stayed pretty stable, it has been pretty stable for the last 20 years or so."

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

David Herle: "There's no independent Alberta. This little landlocked area sitting there in the middle of the continent. They're either part of Canada or they're part of the US and they need to get their heads around that. If they think they're neglected now, they should ask North Dakota."

«Ce n'était pas une surprise», dit le PM Mark Carney face aux revendications de l'administration Trump d'imposer de nouveaux tarifs douaniers de 10% à 60 pays, dont le Canada, tout en reconnaissant que «la plus grande partie des exportations canadiennes seront exclues».

From the Governor General of Canada:

« Today marks a historic occasion, as Governor General Designate Louise Arbour was received in her first audience by His Majesty King Charles III.

She was also invested as extraordinary Commander of the Order of Military Merit (C.M.M.), and Commander of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces (C.O.M.). »
