My latest article at @TheHubCanada where I argue for a new model of Canada’s engagement with Africa that goes beyond podium diplomacy. This includes competing for investment capital from African sovereign wealth and pension funds. #globalaffairscanada#investincanada
A 5-day field visit to 4 states in northern Nigeria by @AfDB_Group & @WFP provided insight into the food distribution work of @WFP in Kano yesterday
and @IITA’s work on agric technology adaption partly financed by the @AfDB_Group’s TAAT-program. Today, seeing the vast dry season wheat fields in Jigawa State was truly impressive, thanks to the $134 million sector budget program.
I’d love to see the Canadian team go, all of them, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the US team as soon as the Star Spangled Banner starts at the Four Nation Game on Saturday night.
Be classy .

Laureen and I are saddened to learn of the passing of His Highness Aga Khan. A guiding light for millions of Ismailis around the world, His Highness’ message of peace renewed and deepened the faith of many. As an honorary Canadian citizen, his legacy of pluralism and philanthropy will be remembered for generations to come. We extend our prayers and heartfelt condolences to His Highness’ family and loved ones.
Gross.
We are entering a disturbing period when we normalize language like “bootlicker” to describe an opponent.
C’mon @ndp
This is a poor form of imitation art off of right wing discourse.
But it’s all bad.
And I say this as someone who likes left wing populism.

Devastated to learn of the passing of my friend & former colleague Chuck Strahl. He was among the most honourable, decent & respectable people I have ever met. Beyond his integrity - his good nature & infectious humour will be missed. May his memory be a blessing. #cdnpoli#cpc

The recent release of the 2023 Economic Review has brought us fantastic news for New Brunswick! Our economy, while not without its challenges, is stronger than ever. This results from our unwavering focus on fiscal responsibility and relentless efforts to make life more affordable.
Today, I’m reflecting on these positive results and the importance of staying on this path. Together, we can continue building a prosperous, thriving province. The future holds even more potential for growth and development.
Let’s Keep Building!
