@BenMulroney Do you think Pierre and the CPC have materially benefited Canadians? He talked a lot about how he was planning to axe the tax.

Who actually did it? First day on the job no less.

[Null Hypothesis @tacktheblock]

@CamdenHutchison Cremieux is wrong. It's absolutely prices and availability of healthy foods. What this study apparently lacks is depth of time. If you grow up eating spam and canned cheese, you'll have a nostalgic preference for them. Preferences are shaped over generations.

The cope on display in the comments of this tweet is just incredible.

I am dooming so hard right now. There’s no way Carney’s actually going to win a majority… right? This is a fever dream. It has to be.

[Joe Anidjar @PuckDaddy93]

You won't be meeting Mark Carney, you'll be meeting Pierre Poilievre!

[Null Hypothesis @tacktheblock]

@Anthony__Koch You're so close to getting it. Canadians don't trust Pierre on dealing with the US administration. Good developments or bad developments out of the US don't matter because Canadians broadly believe Carney is the better leader on this issue.

[Concerned Canadian @Concern70732755]

This was a major mistake !

Who authorized Carney to make this serious statement with substantive implications & consequences!

Where is the input from parliament?

He is an appointee -he doesn’t have omnipresent powers !!

The polls suggest this tweet is going to age like milk. But I guess we'll see on April 28.

Canada and America being separated by Carney and China

American Friends - know that Mark Carney has never been elected by Canadian voters and he has Zero mandate to speak for Canadians.

Mark Carney is also deeply aligned with the Chinese Communist Party.

Carney is trying to create a rupture in the deep relationship that exists for centuries between Canadians and Americans.

@llpoole It's natural to be afraid of change, change can be scary. But it's also an unavoidable part of life. Just as gently increasing density is an unavoidable part of living in a growing city.

[Null Hypothesis @tacktheblock]

@llpoole Spoken like somebody who has literally never been to Montgomery. It is a prime location, near to downtown and major employment centers (like Foothills/Children's Hospitals). If not here, then where?

You want Calgary to stay frozen in time when it was a city of 200K people.

[Null Hypothesis @tacktheblock]

@YIMBYLAND @TheStithLord Can you do Calgary?

The other day, while I was hauling three bags and a stroller through the airport while the baby screamed and we got dirty looks from all the other people in the terminal, I thought to myself "tax policy is definitely the largest obstacle to our care free lifestyle right now".

[Dr. Dad, PhD 🔄🔼◀️🔽▶️ @GarrettPetersen]

My tax proposal (taxable income split evenly between all family members in household) would put an end to this.

@johngatti2 @bonejrp Before or after his ketamine coma in Russia fried his brain?

What do you think did more cognitive damage, Peterson’s experimental Russian coma or RFK Jr’s brain worm?

[Null Hypothesis @tacktheblock]

I think Alberta needs to think about having a "unity crisis" with our Premier. She seems to be having a bit of a "unity crisis" with reality.

[Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith]

At his request, I met with Prime Minister Mark Carney @MarkJCarney today. We had a very frank discussion in which I made it clear that Albertans will no longer tolerate the way we've been treated by the federal Liberals over the past 10 years.

I provided a specific list of demands the next Prime Minister, regardless of who that is, must address within the first six months of their term to avoid an unprecedented national unity crisis.

This includes:

• Guaranteeing Alberta full access to oil and gas corridors to the north, east, and west

• Repealing Bill C-69 (aka. “no new pipelines act”)

• Lifting the tanker ban off the BC coast

• Eliminating the oil and gas emissions cap, which is a production cap

• Scrapping the so-called Clean Electricity Regulations

• Ending the prohibition on single use plastics

• Abandoning the net-zero car mandate

• Returning oversight of the industrial carbon tax to the provinces

• Halting the federal censorship of energy companies

I also made it clear that Alberta, as owner of the resource, will not accept an export tax or restriction of Alberta’s oil and gas to the United States, and that our province is no longer agreeable to subsidizing other large provinces who are fully capable of funding themselves. Lastly, I made it clear that federal mismanagement of Jasper and Banff national parks resulted in last year’s tragic wildfire in Jasper and is endangering Banff, and the situation must be rectified immediately.  

With the federal election about to be called, I encourage all Albertans to get involved in what is likely one of the most pivotal and important elections in our nation’s history, and to support the party and candidates that have consistently advocated for freeing Alberta from federal overreach and the repeated economic attacks our province has faced from Ottawa over the past 10 years.

[Null Hypothesis @tacktheblock]

Why would Jason not use Q3 2015, when the Liberals were elected, as a starting point? Or Q2 2016 when they released their first budget?

Because he wanted the massive fall in oil prices that occurred in Q1 2015 (while his CPC government was in power) to be included. Shameful.

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Wow.

We can’t afford four more years of this.

[Null Hypothesis @tacktheblock]

@andrew_leach Wait so they killed the Canadian Energy Centre, just to reopen it in the Premier's office?

[Andrew Leach 🇨🇦 @andrew_leach]

For resources for which our production is cleaner than other producers, we should produce more. If you disagree, I wonder why you hate the planet. For those resources for which our production is dirtier than others' production, we should produce more for other reasons. Got it?

[Null Hypothesis @tacktheblock]

@Prominent_Bryan Look inside yourself Bryan. You start from a prior of conflict and ill will.

[Evan Scrimshaw @EScrimshaw]

Counterpoint: no, there does not have to be some truth to what he’s saying

How stupid are you?

[Null Hypothesis @tacktheblock]

@John4ward6 That sounds like a great plan! We know densification reduces a city's service costs and increases its tax base. Can we assume that you will be a champion for increasing density within our existing city limits and stopping the sprawl?
