Make no mistake. This is a USA automaker and oil company hit job on the independence and sovereignty of the Canadian economy.
They are trying to reverse the inevitable so they can continue their own businesses as usual for as long as possible.
It can't be allowed to happen. Canada is already lagging far behind other nations. Our Economy and our Society and our burning forests, will suffer if our government gives in to this pressure.

When will landlords and speculators answer for their role in the housing and affordability crisis in Montreal and elsewhere?Matthew Renfrew (Cult MTL)
It's one day before #CanadaDay, and Mark Carney is surrendering to Donald Trump.
City council, the mayor, borough councils, borough mayors, #assnat, MNAs, MPs, #hoc, etc. have known this for a while... you'd think something/anything would've been said and done BEFORE June, right?
Right?
Nope, not in Montréal. Not in Québec.
Lip service, only. juste pour la forme, seulement.

Sen Paula Simons @Paulatics on the Senate passing Bill C-5 today w/o amendments bc they were "painted into a corner": #cdnpoli
"If we had made amendments, it would either require all the MPs to come back from their summer vacation and make the PM very unhappy, or we would have to wait until September ... and the PM had made a commitment the bill would be passed by July 1."
Then what good is the Senate?
Wow. Solid majorities in the Liberals (60%), NDP (69%) & the Bloc (78%) all oppose Mark Carney using #BillC5 to override environmental regulations for fast-tracked projects.

Montréal asking rents up nearly 71% in six years, according to Statistics Canada:

Trust me, if it happened in Ontario, it happened here in Québec, and across Canada! Corporate lobbyists and apologists for corporate landlords and investors are trying to say they're not to blame for the housing crisis.
If you're a landlord renting out a property for 3x-5x what it would've rented for ~5 years ago, you're the problem, too.
And you should be ashamed of yourself.
Your tenant shouldn't pay all your bills w/ the rent they pay...

PM Carney on X endorses US bombing of Iran:
"Iran's nuclear programme is a grave threat to intemational security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.
While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile..."
I guess this is what Carney meant by "a new security relationship with the United States."

I'm not really sure what the point of the G7 is this time around, to be honest. All I've heard so far is "don't expect too much from our conversations with Trump" and "we'll have to ignore Trump's mood swings".
And Smith looked too happy to be there, which means we'll be talking conventional energy, aren't we?

Sooooo... Loblaw and Weston were still PRICE FIXING after being SPANKED for PRICE FIXING in 2017... both companies continued to collude until 2021... and what do you want to bet they've been colluding SINCE 2021, too?!?!?
And now WE have to prove we bought bread at Loblaw stores to get a gift card to spend at, wait for it, Loblaw stores?!?!?

Québec has had a carbon tax since 2007... almost a full decade before the federal government implemented its carbon tax.
Suddenly, Quebecers want it to end?
FYI It amounts to 10 cents/litre.
Gas companies will simply increase the price by 10 cents/litre that the government of Québec doesn't want and pocket it.
Québec's environment programs are funded by that 10 cents/litre.
Gas companies would line their own pockets.

Canada Post is not a for-profit company.
We have to reject it being framed that way.
It is a taxpayer-funded crown corporation providing an essential public service to all of us.

Thank you, Liberal Party of Canada, for announcing your new cabinet on a platform that I can't read posts from without an account on X, which I removed thanks to Elon Musk, the same person who made posts on X no longer public. Why are you still using X, especially for important public announcements?
The fact that the Conservatives increased their vote share and seats—while offering almost nothing of substance to the vast majority of Canadians thanks to deep pockets & microtargeted influence campaigns—should be alarming to all, and cannot go unchecked between now and the next election.
Just ask any non-millionaire Conservative voter to explain their vote without mentioning Trudeau, and requiring them to specify their new tax rate if they mention tax cuts.
Actually, elevating Karina Gould should be the second thing PM Carney does.
The first should be taking affirmative, high profile public steps to protect our information spaces from corporate America, like requiring all government social media accounts to post from the government's brand new Mastodon instance (allowing mirrors to other platforms).
Otherwise, if Zuck, Musk & others can do as they please with our communications, Carney won't be PM for very long.
