Today's One Thought: Manitoba’s Golden Opportunity higheredstrategy.com/?p=1032…

PM Carney on the Americans calling the alcohol ban an irritant: "You know what's an irritant? 50% tariffs on steel. 50% tariffs on aluminum. 25% tariffs on automobiles. All the tariffs on forest products. Those are more than irritants, those are violations of our trade deal."

The people orchestrating this reckless, unsustainable mass immigration into Canada fill me with profound disgust. To deliberately engineer and champion such explosive, unmanageable population growth in your own nation? That’s the height of civic irresponsibility. Was it fueled by greed? Did they line their pockets while irrevocably straining our healthcare, education, and social safety nets? Or does their contempt for Canada’s core values and traditions drive them to flood our borders with millions from societies not built on the same foundations that have made us thrive? Why import from nations with failed systems when our Judeo-Christian heritage and principles have worked so well here? It almost feels like these elites are ashamed of what built this great country. This is a stark reminder of why Albertans, and indeed countless Canadians, harbor deep mistrust toward the Laurentian elite in Ottawa. They seem all too eager to prioritize their agendas over the well-being of the True North strong and free.

It’s not a violation. It’s written into the agreement.

Respectfully disagree. As a woodlot owner in NS, I can tell you firsthand: the forest floor is like tinder right now. You can feel the heat rising from it - just waiting for a spark. Our province is small, and communities are tightly woven into the woods. One fire here doesn’t just burn trees, it can jump roads, wipe out homes, and trap people fast. We don’t have the buffer zones or firebreaks that larger provinces often do. A short-term ban on recreational access is inconvenient for sure, but it’s also smart. One careless step could cost millions and devastate lives.

Last week, our community lost an impactful and respected community member and champion for agriculture. We were proud to have him serve as Honorary Co-Chair of our Prairie Innovation Centre campaign. Thank you for everything, Ron. 💚

🦬 Today I’ve written to Prime Minister Carney to share Manitoba’s plan to partner on nation-building projects. From Arctic trade corridors to critical minerals, we’re ready to grow the economy, strengthen sovereignty, and create opportunity across Canada. 🇨🇦
