“‘If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the USA,’ [Trump] said.”

Nice of Trump to validate everything Carney said in his Davos speech.

So much for honouring the current free trade deal he thought was the dest ever.

The Winnipeg Free Press exposes Pierre Poilievre’s hypocrisy about attending Davos by trying to score populist points while Mark Carney is trying to raise Canada’s profile with global investors.

“ In the end, Carney’s trip to Davos is not about elitism. It’s about realism. Canada is a mid-sized economy in a turbulent world. It cannot afford ideological purity tests when its prosperity is on the line.

Courting investment, diversifying economic partners and reducing reliance on an increasingly unpredictable United States is not just smart policy, it’s necessary.

Poilievre may score points by sneering at Davos. Carney is doing the harder, less glamorous work of making sure Canada still has a seat at the table.

In times like these, that’s not globalist betrayal. It’s responsible leadership.”

This paper provides a new and scary explanation for what motivates Donald Trump and his inner circle. Well worth reading.
It also explores where countries like Canada fit in the world order Trump seems to be creating.

🆕 post: Chart 'em-ber '25: Canadian Prime Ministers and Recessions

After looking at United States of America, let's remind ourselves that Canada is a sovereign country and not 51st state. So let's look at how Canadian Prime Ministers encounter recessions.

Had a good time speaking this week with Tom Fournier @tom4141tom of the History Symposium about my book, He Did Not Conquer: Benjamin Franklin’s Failure to Annex Canada.

Our interests are complementary: He specializes in the War of 1812, whereas one of my chapters focusses on the invasion of Canada in 1775.

I even got to show a lot of old maps, which make it so much easier to understand the long-standing conflict in North America. Thanks for having me on, Tom!

This is Canada? Our WAGE Ministry. Gone. Minister of Minister of Diversity, Inclusion & Persons w/ Disabilities in Canada. Gone. Some women say don't worry; it's only temporary. Not unless we make enough noise to ensure that's the case. #feminist #cdapoli

If you live in Canada I request that you consider signing the petition to the government of Canada, asking them to move from X to a publicly accountable alternative such as Mastodon or Blue Sky.

@JaeBern Great to see @cbc journalists exercising their editorial independence!

I found *Following* hashtags (and using them yourself in posts) is a great way for finding stuff and being seen.

And boosting stuff.

Let management know having a CBC instance is exactly the same as having an @cbc.ca email address.
