@brianlilley It will pass the Senate - privileged motion, doesn’t need to break filibuster, and several GOP Senators - Collins, Murkowski, Paul, McConnell - will support. But Trump will veto and it won’t have veto-proof majorities.

@dylanmatt @Bencjacobs Doesn’t this prove Keynes’ maxim about practical men being the slaves of defunct economists?

[Mark Cameron @marktcameron]

@stphnmaher Trump authorized selling $10 billion is H200 chips to China (for a cut of the profits), took a 747 from Qatar and is now stashing Venezuelan oil money in a Qatari bank account. I’d rather focus on trade with Europe, Mercosur etc. - but the U.S. are complete hypocrites on this.

@YaroslavB I am so sorry, Yaroslav. I remember Tara well as one of the brightest young staffers on the Hill, and thought you two formed a wonderful family. I will be praying for her and all of you.

A new @ppforumca report argues that Canadian energy exports can actually help reduce global emissions. Co-author @marktcameron says too often the debate is framed as economy vs. the environment

New report backs Canada’s ambition to be energy superpower as Ottawa, B.C. tout LNG: “Canadian LNG has a two-fold climate advantage: At the point of use, it’s much cleaner than coal, and at the point of production, it’s cleaner than many other sources of LNG” @globeandmail

[Mark Cameron @marktcameron]

The Canada-Alberta MOU calls for Canada to increase oil and gas exports while still aiming for net zero. This new report that I co-authored for @ppforumca shows how Canada can export more while still reducing global emissiions: Refuel https://t.co/ntoh6KuLtI

Congratulations to @ABDanielleSmith and @MarkJCarney on a truly historic energy MOU. As someone who worked on the Pathways project, and the Alberta and federal governments before that, this means a lot! https://t.co/1OYgLlDydP

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Nigel Wright, a widely respected business leader and builder with a lifelong commitment to public service and community leadership.    

The pinnacle of Nigel’s long career in public life was as Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, where Nigel served Canadians with the same deep intellect and relentless work ethic that he demonstrated through many decades in the private sector. Throughout his career, Nigel contributed to a better and more prosperous future for Canadians.   

I was privileged to know Nigel, benefitted often from his counsel, and have long been inspired by his dedication to our country, his kindness to his friends, and his faith in our common future.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to Nigel’s loved ones, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.

I am shocked and saddened by the sudden, untimely death of my good friend Nigel Wright.

Nigel was one of the kindest, most decent and generous people I have ever known. A person of unimpeachable integrity and honour.

A brilliant man who excelled in business, and had a heart for public service. He was a true Canadian patriot.

But most importantly, he was man of deep faith. His Christian commitment was not an abstraction. I cannot think of anyone with his level of commercial and financial success who would regularly spend evenings and weekends helping the less fortunate, volunteering in soup kitchens and homeless shelters. He was modest and private, so I suspect no one fully realizes the breadth of his philanthropic and charitable commitments.

He will be deeply missed by his many friends around the world.

But I have no doubt that he will be welcomed in the house of his Master with the words “well done, good and faithful servant.”

Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat e. 🙏

[Stephen Harper @stephenharper]

Laureen and I are shocked and heartbroken to learn of the sudden passing of Nigel Wright.

A unique and deeply accomplished person, Nigel combined intellectual acumen with incredible capacity for work. 

Nigel loved his country and believed in the value of public service, having twice served in the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada, including as my Chief of Staff.  He was also a man of faith who cared about his fellow citizens and generously supported a range of philanthropic causes throughout his life. 

Nigel was truly a special person whom we have lost far too soon.  Our condolences to his family and many friends, both in Canada and around the world.

@acoyne Pretty accurate tbh

[Theo Argitis @theoargitis]

Thrilled to share that I’m joining @TheHubCanada as Editor-at-Large for Economics and Business - returning to journalism to do my small part in making sense of this defining moment we're living through.

@theoargitis @TheHubCanada Congrats Theo!

When Rudyard Griffiths and I launched @TheHubCanada in April 2021, our goal was to build a news and commentary site that didn't just operate as a niche publication. We aspired to contribute to the broader public conversation and ultimately compete with larger, more established outlets.

Thanks to our stable of great contributors like @trevortombe, @GinnyRothTO, @howardanglin, @davidfrum, @darrellbricker, and various others, The Hub's growth has exceeded our expectations.

As we approach our fifth anniversary next month, we continue to surpass our own targets on web traffic, podcast downloads, subscriptions, revenues, etc.

Today's announcement that @theoargitis, who, in my view, is the country's best economics journalist, is joining our team on a full-time basis is another major step in realizing our bigger goals.

As The Hub's editor-at-large for business and economics, Theo will help our audience think through the paradigmatic moment that we're living in. His deep knowledge of business and economics couldn't be more valuable.

Theo's hiring is a milestone in The Hub's evolution. It's a sign that we're no longer a plucky upstart. We're not just nipping at the heels of the legacy outlets. We're matching them on the quality of our content and increasingly on the size of our audience. (The Hub Podcast for instance now consistently outranks the offerings from the Globe and Mail, National Post, or CBC.)

Thank you to our readers, listeners, and subscribers for your support. We're enormously grateful.

@Junior63031591 @McFaul He is the King of Canada as well. We are a separate, independent constitutional monarchy from the UK, but with the same royal family. Same with Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Bahamas etc.
