Canada’s oldest retailer is facing possible demise precisely because it wasn’t a priority for our populace to buy Canadian.”

A federal election campaign without a climate plan

Marcin Gabrys @marcingabrys.bsky.social · Apr 24

„In a federal election campaign dominated by U.S. tariffs and the cost of living, the two main parties vying to form the next government have spent little time debating the future of Canada’s climate action plans.” www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Opinion: Why many Canadian Jews are gravitating toward the Conservative Party

Marcin Gabrys @marcingabrys.bsky.social · Apr 24

„Pierre Poilievre is the one leader, as many Canadian Jews see it, who has spoken out unequivocally against antisemitism. He’s the one leader, they feel, who has their backs.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

The support for Pierre Poilievre in the community is far from unanimous, but it’s loud

Opinion: Donald Trump is the cautionary tale Canada needs to heed

Marcin Gabrys @marcingabrys.bsky.social · Apr 24

„Yes, there have been some Trumpian overtones in some of Pierre Poilievre’s rhetoric and tactics up to and during this federal election campaign, but nothing quite as unnerving and appalling as what we are seeing in the U.S.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

We can’t be naive to the potential for autocracy in our own country

Opinion: This quiet election campaign is playing right into the lucky Liberals’ hands

Marcin Gabrys @marcingabrys.bsky.social · Apr 24

„With the stakes sky high, the Canadian campaign was supposed to be a barnburner, an all-time thriller. But as campaigns go, it’s been a rather quiet, pedestrian affair with few fireworks. All the drama came well before the Canadian election began via the Trump tsunami of deeds and threats”

The short five-week campaign has brought forward no strikingly new policy initiatives or surprises
