"Its" wealth? Among the most absurd assumptions in this whole surreal debate is the idea that Alberta, in the vanishingly unlikely event that it was ever permitted to detach itself from Canada, would depart with its entire current territory — including the parts with the oil. There is zero possibility of this, and even less legitimacy to it. The provinces control natural resources under the constitution of Canada — but under the constitution of Canada, and as provinces of Canada. The minute they cease to be under the constitution, they cease to enjoy any of its guarantees.

While we are building mines faster, we’re also investing in a pipeline of skilled workers who return home safely at the end of every shift. In Sudbury, the @fordnation government announced a plan to build Canada’s largest mine rescue training centre, training 540 volunteers annually to keep miners and communities safe. With thanks to @DavidPiccini, partners at @WSIB, and Mayor @LefebvrePaul for this partnership.

The AI race will not be won with chatbots that predict the next word. In today’s Wall Street Journal, I argue that staying ahead of China requires a new class of AI models built on physics, chemistry, and quantitative reasoning, not just language and images. China’s next five-year plan doubles down on materials science, quantum technology, energy storage, and defense. These sectors run on equations, not prompts. Language models are wonderful productivity tools, but they are not designed to compute optimal alloy compositions, advance semiconductor design, or model high-dimensional financial risk. Pharma, semiconductors, energy, and financial services represent more than $25 trillion in global output. These industries require quantitative AI trained on lab data, robotic experimentation, and the equations of the physical world. Read the full op-ed in the WSJ here: wsj.com/opinion/america-need…

I hope you're sitting down for this one... The guys that tell you polls are reliable, until they don't like them have a new play. They've created their own polling. "Maple Polling" Marc Nixon is now promoting Maple Polling after telling you how terrible polls are. This is next level shit. They've started their own polling.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Good Friday!

Ontario's universities are warning the Ford government that without more provincial funding the sector will have to cut programs and layoff staff -- hampering students' ability to get into programs they want. #onpoli

Today at SCFEA, @OntUniv President @SteveOrsini emphasized the critical role of our institutions: “Ontario universities are committed to growing this province – but they need the province to ensure they have the resources to deliver the talent, research, and innovation to support students and grow the economy.” #ONpse #ONpoli @nolanmquinn @PBethlenfalvy @C_Mulroney

I know one thing is for sure… They are going to be a lot of very tired. Canadians at work tomorrow. #mlb #WorldSeries
