Apparently some in PM Carney’s caucus don’t like his leadership style. With a small majority government, do these stories warrant concern?
That’s one topic for @honjamesmoore & @gmbutts today.

Come for the Habs. Stay for the discussion of Danielle Smith's referendum on whether to have a referendum. #cdnpoli
Both @honjamesmoore and @gmbutts are die-hard Hockey fans. Are the Habs Canada’s team?
Plus: The politics behind Alberta’s referendum mess.

It's crazy that @gbrew24, someone who's basically spent his entire life studying to be an expert for this exact moment, doesn't have like 10x the followers as he does.

There was a time when immigration was seen as part of what made Canada great. Has that time passed, why, and at what cost?

Most countries these days are faced with an ‘affordability crisis.’ Voters want action, but what action is truly possible from government?
That’s the first question in 2026 for @honjamesmoore & @gmbutts on The Bridge.
