On Nov. 4, 1979, as people stormed the US Embassy in Tehran, Iran, dozens of diplomats and their spouses were captured and held hostage.
But seven escaped and were sheltered by Canadians for the next two months.
This is the story of The Canadian Caper.

This is a no brainer @mark-carney.bsky.social @liberalca.bsky.social.
It would rebuild and revive a sector of the economy that Canada was once a leader in.
We would control our destiny. Time to really cut the string on the dependency on US arms.

This seems like a balanced assessment.
It suggests PM Carney's plan is what is needed for Canada but it has to be done correctly.
Given PM Carney's, and the team's, qualifications I am thinking he will do it correctly.
Canada is in good fiscal shape compared to many

This is exactly how I feel about Prime Minister Mark Carney. Canada was so lucky that he came on board when he did.

I’m very very clear eyed that nobody is going to be 100% thrilled with this budget— myself included.

BUT— I’m also very clear eyed we need to make sacrifices in the short term to have a long term future for Canadians because the world has REALLY changed.

Since Canada signed its free trade agreement with Chile, our bilateral merchandise trade has nearly quadrupled.
 
President Gabriel Boric and I are building on that success with a new strategic partnership that will leverage our strengths in critical minerals, clean energy, and defence.

Watching wild herds approach our orphan units reminds us why this work matters. These elephants know Umani Reintegration Unit is a safe haven. They bring their calves, browse peacefully nearby, and sometimes mingle with our orphans – a beautiful testament to the trust we've built in this landscape.

Here's a question for the press. Are you ever going to ask Poilievre tough questions and force him to answer, not gaslight or walk away?
It’s frustrating to hear our PM called a hawk due to upcoming military spending.

Funds are going to Canadian military families, enhanced healthcare, veterans services plus creating Canadian jobs while rebuilding and rearming. Money will be reinvested in Canada.

The campaigning has started
PM Carney takes a jab at PoiLIEvre: “You know, one of the advantages of having your security clearance is you’re better informed about some of the threats [facing Canada], and I highly recommend that anyone either in a position of responsibility—or seeking it—has their security clearance.”
