Canada primarily supplies the US market. The US is purposefully trying to destroy large parts of the Canadian economy. It is ridiculous to say that the possible views of non-existent non-US energy consumers matter here. www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...

‘Being a reliable supplier is important’: PM Carney on using energy in U.S. trade talksPrime Minister Mark Carney suggests Canada’s reputation as a reliable supplier could take a hit if the country started leveraging energy exports in trade talks with the United States.www.ctvnews.ca

Air Filtration Doesn’t Work To Prevent Illness Says Study Done By People Who Didn’t Switch The Air Filters On Properly

Whatever his intent, Mark Carney’s overall strategy will almost inevitably — a word I rarely use as a political scientist — deliver Canada into a deeper relationship with the United States. This is because its two prongs — diversification and appeasement — are irreconcilable. 1/4

This is what vassalization looks like: Adjusting one's policies to fit the whims of your de facto ruler. I'm not sure how much more evidence people will need to recognize that Carney's endgame is deeper integration with the United States, which necessarily entails vassalization.

This is worse than destructive; it's embarrassing. Carney is subordinating every single Canadian policy, not even to US aggression, but to the mere threat of economic pain.

Imagine the money Carney could save if he simply bit the bullet, shuttered Parliament and outsourced every single policy decision to Trump and his cronies. It's redundant to have a supposedly independent Parliament that's simply going to be overruled by Trump's viceroy if it steps out of line.

Thatcher was a nationalist. Carney's a consultant.

A massive giveaway from Carney to Big Tech. Elbows up to punch yourself in the face, I guess. www.thewirereport.ca/2026/07/28/b...

I think so too. The most regressive, pro-corporate PM in my lifetime but continues to fool huge numbers of voters into thinking he's progressive. Now they defend everything he does, no matter how bad.

They failed to understand business as usual no longer works at this point in history, that’s why they lost & will continue to. Business as usual has brought us to catastrophe.

Mike was a significant person in the British Columbia Search and Rescue community. He helped shape BCSARA into a professional volunteer organization. All SAR members perform better because of his commitment and efforts. He will be greatly missed.

Just a quick reminder for when you’re thinking about who should vote in a democracy: the masses won us self-government and rights while billionaires gave us pervert glasses and personal-data harvesting.

If there was ever any doubt, the Gordie Howe Bridge fiasco proves it: You can't trust Trump's America, or any deal within this administration's orbit. thewalrus.ca/the-gordie-h...

The Gordie Howe Bridge Is What American Betrayal Looks Like | The WalrusCanada spent billions on the crossing. Trump turned it into a shakedownthewalrus.ca

We chose to concede. Again. The bridge is secondary. We chose to concede. Again. It destroys the faith we have that the government has red lines. Concessions are poisonous if we gain nothing from them. So, Canada lost.

We need government grocery stores in Canada. The big grocery stores in Canada have gouged Canadians for far too long.

Thinking about this again, I see people every day saying something like "Canada needs to" followed by ideas of collective action, bolstering social safety nets, and preparing for a rocky independence. Actions that are in reality opposite of what the gov is doing. Good ideas are out there.

In Canada, Conservative and Liberal governments alike have pumped money to our oligarchs in the same hopes 👇🏼

The more I think about Carney's foreign policy decisions, the more I believe he views values as a luxury or a liability Values are at best, a nice-to-have, once economic fundamentals are secure. At worst, they're a risk and we get punished for them progressdevelopment.substack.com/p/that-davos...
