Happy (or unhappy) 20th anniversary to those who remember the Halloween Massacre 2006.

The challenge of corporate taxation remains, and ever-more complex as governments try to find a balance between revenue, investment and growth.

A beautiful goal by a beautiful team wins the beautiful game! Congratulations to Spain (and goal-scorer Ferran Torres) for an immaculate World Cup victory and tournament. A memorable lesson in the value of teamwork, defence and patience.

As a former miler, it’s thrilling to see the record fall again. Scotland’s Josh Kerr carries the legacy of Coe and Ovett at this clip. Britons may feel glum today but should celebrate the extraordinary strides they keep making on the road and track - https://t.co/wv9xYFiFbS

Investment is chasing Canada. Are we ready? Great conversation with Sask trade minister Warren Kaeding

And happy NT Day in Ontario. No Nikola Tesla, no Ontario as we know it. His AC was central to Niagara Falls, the first big hydro plant that in the 1920s powered Toronto’s century-long growth spurt. Thanks Nik

Happy 170th Birthday, Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) ✍️

The man who gave us alternating current, the induction motor, the Tesla coil, and the polyphase system that still carries power to every wall socket on Earth.

He imagined wireless energy before the world had radio. He died with few possessions and hundreds of patents.

Six hour wait and now a replacement plane with no plugs. Is this the image Canada wants to show the world, @AirCanada ?

[John Stackhouse @StackhouseJohn]

Has anyone been on an Air Canada flight this year that’s been on time?

Flight to Calgary still on tarmac in Toronto, two hours after boarding

Is it just me or is performance worse? Post pandemic rationals don’t hold anymore, so genuinely curious what’s going on

The Post has had many glorious lives but its heyday as a bold, brainy weekly in the ‘80s was exceptional. That was Neville’s vision. Canada was and is better for it

Gutted to learn of the death of Neville Nankivell, fmr editor of Financial Post (now National Post), who hired me in 1987, one of my first jobs in hackery, and sent me to NYC bureau a year later, giving me my start in foreign corresponding. Generous, smart and funny, he. RIP

[John Stackhouse @StackhouseJohn]

RIP, John. You set a standard.

I was posted in Delhi when John was there for the Times in the ‘90:s. He was the epitome of the pre-Internet golden age of foreign correspondents https://t.co/6lo4ucRViP via @NYTimes

He loved to tell the story of how he got his start, as a kid reporter for The Globe & Mail in Ottawa who got into a scuffle — he said punches were thrown — with Pierre Trudeau. The paper quickly packed him off to the Peking bureau. He never turned back. Never one to stand down!

[John Stackhouse @StackhouseJohn]

@MarkJCarney Carney made some important commitments today to 🇨🇦 #Olympians. More to come, if we’re to own the podium again. If you missed our most recent RBC Disruptors episode, have a listen … David Shoemaker and @JennHeil explain how we can all help

Congrats to the ‘Riders and all of Saskatchewan. Best team in the CFL this year. Among the best fans anywhere, every year. And just love that the offence was coached by Marc Mueller, grandson of the ‘Rider GOAT, the late Ron Lancaster. Green & White!

Good performance but odd choice for Grey Cup 2025. Canada Strong, and all that. Now back to Canadian football

MGK takes the stage for the Grey Cup halftime show!

Global security will be shapedd by energy, critical minerals and data. China has all three. The g7 has two, and this will get us closer to the third. Nothing in space or on the battlefield works without this stuff. Well done G7

[John Stackhouse @StackhouseJohn]

Defence minister @DavidMcGuinty spoke Fri about the coming defence industrial strategy. Few details now but it’s clear @MarkJCarney has some big security choices ahead. So does @realDonaldTrump. 🇨🇦🇺🇸have protected NAm for decades — and still can, if we see each other as partners

[John Stackhouse @StackhouseJohn]

Canada-US relations are about more than trade. In the coming months, a new continental security strategy may take shape. On the table:

— shared approaches to procurement/finance
— sharing of critical minerals and energy reserves
— Arctic security
— space inter-connectivity

[John Stackhouse @StackhouseJohn]

We already have a version of a continental shield, but as weapons systems, especially from China, get more sophisticated, Can Canada and the US afford not to be close security partners? And should a trade-security deal be our goal?
