Also notable that Carney's first big deal is with a provincial leader with a nearly infinite supply of incompetence, mendacity and cruelty. And he gave her literally everything she wanted, with nothing to show for it except for pissed off premiers in provinces where he actually gets votes. 5D chess

What we have witnessed tday in this new federal-Alberta agreement is a complete abandonment of core federal climate policy and a complete abdication to the MAGA-aligned govt of Alberta and to oil & gas corporations that send huge chunks their profits to the US.

The UAE has successfully used Canada to launder its image. With trade deals they ensure you won’t say anything about their human rights record or that they’re funding a genocide in Sudan 🇸🇩
During our visit last week, the UAE committed to invest $70 billion into Canada.
We’re building big things at home — and finding new partners who want to build with us.

A $16 orange juice once ended a political career. Today, government shrugs off allegations of a billion-dollar slush fund — the result of a decade of far-right impunity.

I think the NDP messaging on their vote is wildly disingenuous: No honesty about not wanting to go into an election without a leader or money, claiming they unequivocally voted against the budget while simultaneously explaining why they ensured enough abstentions for it pass, etc, etc.

There’s a fine line between finding a compromise to make parliament work, and compromising your values for political expediency. We’ll see what this is as details come out.

Opposition MPs allowing the budget to pass out of fear the Libs might win a majority in a subsequent election by allowing the Libs to rule like they have a majority.
If the budget does fail that would be 100% on the Libs due to Carney's refusal to negotiate.
