From @EmmettMacfarlane

"Wasting billions on income tax cuts in this context isn’t just a bad idea, it is ruinous. It’s also the opposite of fiscal responsibility. You don’t starve government coffers at a time when generational investments are needed."

"Moreover, it’s a wasted political opportunity. #Canadians are pissed. They are also scared. They should be."

open.substack.comCanadians aren't being asked to meet the momentAs Donald Trump triples down on his economic war against Canada, one of the things that inspires the most hope is the vociferous and passionate response of Canadians.

My fellow #Canadians, specifically, men who have previously voted Conservative, Maybe you held out hope that the CPC would get rid of the clowns and get serious, find something of conservative values and ethics in its populist gameshow. You held out hope, but I need you to hear me when I tell you that it’s gone. Insults are not a plan. Slogans are hollow. Rude and obnoxious is not leadership. Please listen to women; we know *that guy*. Vote #Liberals .

"This will be shocking news to #Canadians who blamed the #carbontax, or #immigrants, or #JustinTrudeau personally, for #inflation and #affordability challenges after the pandemic. It’s no accident that vested interests—from the #oil industry to the Conservative Party—have tried to divert Canadians’ righteous anger toward those scapegoats. They don’t want us to know where the true problem originated. "rabble.ca/economy/fossil-fuels

Everyone needs to read this - this is the #UnitedStates now and it is horrifying. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m

#Americans - this is what is happening in your country.

#Canadians - this is why I'd highly recommend NOT travelling to the US under the current administration.

#Immigrants from all around the world living in the US (including Canadians) - I highly recommend you consider leaving while you can, even if you now have your US Citizenship.

#China has executed four #Canadians over #drug-related convictions, #Canada’s foreign affairs minister said Wednesday, a development that threatens to worsen an already tense relationship between the countries.

Mélanie Joly, the Canadian minister, told reporters that she condemned the #executions, & that the government would still seek clemency for others.
