James Moore: "In sum, the Trump tariff policy is:
-bad economics
-bad for consumers, jobs & business
-destructive diplomacy
-unconstitutional
-bad politics

Time is on Canada’s side. Keep calm, build allies along supply chains, in state capitols, in Congress, day by day. This, too, shall pass." | nitter

I'm less optimistic than Mr. Moore about the #TrumpTariffs; Ds and Rs are both much more enthusiastic about tariffs than they were in the 1990s.

I've decided to give up Mastodon for #Lent, starting this weekend. The plan is to wind up conversations, to try not to initiate more, and then to avoid replying until after Easter.

I mostly post about #CanPol. If you're looking for a #conservative take on that topic in my absence, then I suggest following
* #NationalPost at @NationalPost
* @yuanyiz.bsky.social
* #TheLineCa , at @6618555 (a centre-right, non-partisan podcast).

Lucy Hargreaves (@lucyhargreaves4): "Alabama spent 30 years treating economic development like a serious strategy... landing investments, making it fast and easy to build, and clawing back incentives from companies that didn't deliver. Canada spent the same 30 years writing reports about competitiveness and then not acting on them. Eli Lilly just put a $6B pharma plant in Huntsville. That could have been Montreal." | nitter

This is how interwoven Canada is with the US:
“The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board [an independent investment-management organization responsible for managing the Canada Pension Plan] is financing—and profiting from—Donald Trump’s renewed push to expand fossil fuels and accelerate artificial intelligence development in the US. It has partnered with private equity firms to acquire American oil and gas producers and financed AI companies like Elon Musk’s xAI.”

On the #CBC At-Issue Panel last night, #ChantalHébert and #AlthiaRaj are quite negative about the prospects for the #NDP. @acoyne dissents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkR11l5Q1sU&t=877s

I have the moment cued up; worth a watch.

“Free Canada. Trade Mulroney.” Nice callback from @tonymcquailgreenprogressive in the debate 😀❤️

Je suis profondément honoré de bénéficier du soutien de quatre leaders municipaux extraordinaires qui accomplissent chaque jour un travail acharné pour bâtir des communautés plus justes et plus agréables à vivre.

Alison Gu, Debbie King, Alex Norris et Teale Phelps Bondaroff connaissent parfaitement leurs communautés et sont uni·e·s par leur engagement en faveur de la durabilité, de l'équité, de l'accessibilité financière et de la construction de villes où tout le monde peut s'épanouir.

Leur leadership sur le terrain me permet de garder les pieds sur terre et je leur suis reconnaissant de leur confiance alors que nous luttons pour les habitant·e·s des communautés, grandes et petites, à travers le pays.

Is the current Conservative Party of Canada (#CPC) more right-wing than the PC Party of Brian Mulroney? If it is, then I encourage you to reply saying in what way specifically.

Boosts welcome.
