I'm a 54 year-old Canadian. I'm a grandma, university educated and a small bus owner. I spend much of my time volunteering at home and abroad with new Canadians & refugees. According to Trudeau, I'm an extremist who needs to be dealt with. #TrudeauMustGo

Mark Warner, one of Canada’s best trade lawyers—and a friend—dismantles, one by one, every argument used to defend Canada’s current negotiating strategy with the United States.

A masterclass of an interview.

Watch the whole thing. Oh, and the midterms won’t make a difference...

Peter MacKay yesterday "And who walked away from the deal now is not really the most important thing."

"The more important calculus is how do we walk it back and how do we get back to the bargaining table?"

"Well, it is reminiscent of the dispute that we got into with India, but this has far more consequences just because of the sheer dependence that we have on the US Economy."

"And quite frankly, actually, I think there needs to be more transparency so Canadians can see for themselves if they're being told that there was last minute changes by the Americans or by Canada."

"So recall Parliament, you know, show Canadians the draft deal that was placed before the Americans and then let's honestly bear down and try to get everybody pointed in the right direction again." @PeterMacKay

While BC’s Attorney General and CBC rush to blame OpenAI/ChatGPT for the Tumbler Ridge shooting — claiming the company should have called police over violent prompts — they’re silent on the other side of the story.

Northern Health made multiple visits

RCMP had been to the premises repeatedly for mental health concerns and even seized guns… only to return them to the home

Pointing fingers at a tech company is easy. Asking why actual authorities with boots on the ground and direct knowledge failed to prevent it? That’s apparently too inconvenient

The press is remarkably incurious when the narrative doesn’t fit “blame Silicon Valley” @brodiefenlon

Almost every jurisdiction in Canada has similar rules.

It’s illegal to feed wildlife because they become dependent on handouts, and forget how to survive.

So why do we do it to humans?

As a journalist from 1979-2009 my colleagues and I spent most of our energy holding the government of the day to account not constantly attacking the Official Opposition as is mainly the case for today’s media.

Last week, my husband sat down with @StevenBartlett from the Diary of a CEO. The behind the scenes on how we got such short notice to do his podcast was insane. Finding flights and trying to cram everything into a short period of time. We were on route to wrap up Pierre's USA tour when we got the email, we were in NYC. So now we had to figure out how to get to LA fast, and back on time for Monday's meetings in Ottawa. There was no way we were going to pass on this.

Why?

My personal thoughts were because I have watched Diary of a CEO for over a year, and what I have seen from Steven and his team is beyond anything else out there. The level of research they do on their guests, and their capacity to ask ANY question, the tough ones, the more personal ones, in such a professional manner. It is not about trying to get a “gotcha” moment. It is about truly getting to know and understand the person sitting across from Steven. This time, it was my husband.

I saw him like in no other interview. Finally relaxed, being himself, so open to talk about everything, including his childhood, his adoptive parents AND biological parents. But also about our beloved Valentina.

I can say with confidence that this is THE MOST IN-DEPTH interview Pierre has ever done.

Steven did not hold back. But he does it with respect, and in a format that allows people to fully explain themselves. That is the magic of these long-format platforms.

Pierre got to share his vision for Canada, the problems, the solutions. He also got to explain his WHY, which really is rooted in his childhood experiences.

I am thankful for platforms like this that, in my personal opinion, are doing a better job than the current media out there. But even more thankful that there are hosts like Steven who operate on the principle of hearing all sides with an open mind and allowing people to express themselves.

If I can be honest with you, my favourite YouTube channel is not Diary of a CEO. It actually is BEHIND THE DIARY (@behindthediary). That is where you get to see how Steven does it, how he builds a team. One thing I remember well is when he mentioned that he needs to work with people who keep an open mind because his goal is to talk to everyone. From Michelle Obama to Boris Johnson to Kamala Harris, and now my husband Pierre Poilievre, Steven sits there with an open mind and asks ALL questions without holding back.

It is also important to note that it is equally important for the guest to do the same. So naturally, our team had no limitations on what he could ask.

This is by far my favourite interview. 🫶🏻

I can’t even anymore… How many embarrassing Canadian moments have gone viral this week alone?

An NDP convention consumed by ideological posturing, where purity tests matter more than practical solutions for Canadians.

An awards show, the Junos, that felt less like a celebration of music and more like a publicly funded service announcement, pushing messaging instead of showcasing artists.

And now, in the middle of a fatal aviation tragedy, the national conversation shifts from pilot deaths to language politics.

At some point, you have to ask:

What are we actually prioritizing?

Because this is not a distraction anymore. It’s a pattern.

We are choosing optics over reality. Narratives over facts. Performative debates over serious issues that actually affect people’s lives.

And if we can’t even focus on loss of life without turning it into a political talking point, then something is deeply off.

Not just with our institutions, but with us.

Because if we can’t tell what matters anymore, we shouldn’t be surprised when nothing does.
