A #cannabis rant: Instead of telling us how different/better you are, how "premium" or "craft", just fight for the right to bulk sell to retailers, who can decide for themselves if/how they want to sell it, and consumers can see/smell it upfront... /

Carney on Pierre Poilievre's criticism that Canada already has a trade deal and that these trips aren't helpful for Canadians: We are not satisfied with the status quo. Maybe the leader of the opposition is, but we're not ... the opportunity for Canada in Europe is as big, if not bigger, than any other economy.

Emilie Nicolas outlines several elements that, taken together, suggest “there is a vested interest coming from Washington to destabilize Canada.”

Danielle Smith almost 1 year ago committed to having a referendum on coal mining if the signatures were collected… We’re betting somewhere a comms person is wordsmithing a “yeah, but she didn’t say when” response… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This is... Something. First, Smith confirms that she directed the shutdown of the EMS rebrand herself based on direct feedback from Paramedics... And then she just off-the-cuff announces that there's a deal on Triage Liason Physicians but still has no idea when they'll start.

Making Albertans renew their health cards q5years is a registry money grab & a sure fire way to disrupt accesss to care (esp those living with #chronicdisease). @ABDanielleSmith- please reconsider this if you are sincere in wanting to improve #healthcare access.

Smith confirmed today that one of the biggest reasons for the new ID's... (For all ages) Is so that Alberta Health Care can expire every 5 years if not renewed. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Today, Smith announced that she is not going to allow Albertans to vote on the Water not Coal petition for literally YEARS. How do we know? Let's start with the clip from "Your Province, Your Premier" where she states she'll follow the process in the act... /1 #abpoli #ableg

Carney: Right now, many countries, ourselves included, are concluding that they must develop greater strategic autonomy. And the impulse for that is understandable. Because when the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself.

Alberta: "Have a drink at 6 a.m." Also Alberta: "We're closing the sites that reverse overdoses and keep people alive." You couldn't write a more backwards drug policy if you tried globalnews.ca/news/11902038/…

Here's Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, in 2018, writing about work on 'Albexit' by Jack Mintz. Smith just appointed Mintz to head a provincial panel detailing the economic case to *remain* in Canada.

Carney: And to deepen our defence and industrial cooperation today, the President and I are advancing a new General Security of Information Agreement. What this means is an ability to exchange classified information between our defence, our space, our AI, and aerospace sectors.

The Carney government just dropped a $3.2 billion food security strategy and it’s worth understanding what it actually does. Right now, only 11 cents of every dollar you spend on groceries reaches the farmer who grew it. Five companies control 80% of the grocery market. And Canada exports billions in agricultural products while turning around and importing processed versions of the same food from the US at a markup. This plan attacks that problem structurally. $1 billion goes toward food terminals and distribution hubs so independent grocers can buy directly from Canadian farmers, cutting out the middleman. The Competition Bureau gets a funding boost to go after the property control tricks big grocers use to block competitors from moving in nearby. And Farm Credit Canada gets $1 billion for domestic food processing so we stop exporting raw product and importing it back as something more expensive. The targets are concrete: expand the Ontario Food Terminal by end of year, open two new food terminals and 10 regional food hubs by 2028. This isn’t a handout to Loblaws. It’s infrastructure to break their stranglehold on the supply chain. Will it fix your grocery bill overnight? No. But building real competition into the system is how you get lasting price relief, not a rebate that disappears after one quarter.

#ableg UCP MLA Dan Williams, last night, pushed 2 false separatist talking points: 1. ‘Ottawa killed Keystone’. No, the US revoked the permit 2. ‘No more pipelines act’ Smith JUST signed a pipeline deal with Carney Smith might not be a separatist…but her MLA’s 100% are.

This separatist referendum runs a very real risk of foreign interference. We now know that Albertans’ personal information has been exposed to American actors, and the separatists have been looking for support and money from the Trump administration. Premier Danielle Smith has done nothing. That’s why I have written to CSIS asking for transparency, regular updates, and a clear assessment of the dangers we face. Danielle Smith doesn’t care about protecting you. Alberta’s New Democrats do.

Andrew Coyne on Pierre Poilievre's national unity speech: It was needlessly narrow, somewhat self-serving, and not terribly helpful.

"it is baseless humiliation & demonization of a litigant in this Court for no apparent purpose other than sapping her will to continue with her case." The Justice pulled no punches in his citation of contempt of podcasters David Wallace & James Difiore. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Every Albertan should be livid. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
