Pure gratitude for all of you who watched last night. This started as an experiment with a House special election last year and turned into this

None of that was the fault of the troops. The poppy honours the fallen, not the politics of the day.
"You need to wear a poppy to honour World War One" no I don't actually that was a dumbfuck war that nearly ripped our country apart with the Conscription Crisis and only anglo morons think that's a proud moment in Canadian history

But can we agree that promoting LNG and mineral exports out of a mostly ice-covered port in Churchill using icebreaking, is a lot riskier than sending double hulled oil tankers out of Prince Rupert, which can already accommodate shipping containers that carry 50,000 barrels/8000 m3 of petroleum fuel in their own tanks? Can we agree there are different standards being applied for political, rather than scientific or technical, reasons?

Andrew Potter is one of the clearest voices in Canada. I look forward to reading him every single week.
If Canada has a problem getting things built, a big part of the reason can be traced to our refusal to talk about our national identity. Here's why the ‘who are we?’ question won’t go away, from Andrew Potter.

Obama: "The big trade war he's starting now is with that well-known evil empire, Canada. These are the people who gave us maple syrup and Martin Short. Canadians, they're the nicest people."

Smaller countries need to prepare for a dangerous world. They should look to Canada (and its prime minister) for an answer on what to do bit.ly/4zwKfVg Illustration: The Economist/Getty Images

The Port of Churchill has potential, but major questions remain unanswered: demand, financing, seasonality, logistical constraints and long-term competitiveness. Ambition alone isn't a strategy. My latest in the @financialpost financialpost.com/opinion/th…

Charlottetown MP Sean Casey says he was demoted because he supported an NDP arms export control bill. In an interview with CBC News, Casey said PMO told him yesterday that's why he was removed from his role as parliamentary secretary. cbc.ca/news/politics/casey-r…

Together with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, I took part in a meeting of the Government of Canada. The Government’s support in every area is very tangible for us. Thank you for this and for all the decisions that help us protect people and bring peace closer. Together, we make each other stronger. 🇺🇦🇨🇦

Churchill pegged at $57 billion Wind West at $44B No, absolutely not. Nonsensical, make believe projects at these numbers. Irresponsible to pursue. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
