U.S. tariffs have upended global trade. Because of how integrated our economies have been, nowhere is more affected than Canada.

This is a challenging moment. Industry is hit hard. We've done better than others, but there's more work to do to reduce tariffs & support Canadians.

Pierre Poilievre looks at this data and his takeaways are food inflation today is "70% above target" and the situation is "even worse than Trudeau".

You can judge how intellectually honest that is. But real solutions to real problems take more than rhetoric, gimmicks, and spin.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. At ⁦
The Confluence and UCalgary, I and others reflected/learned.

Thanks to all who put on these events. They let us consider the path we’ve walked, where we are and the role we all play in where we’re
going.

Shocked and disappointed to see that Imperial has laid off hundreds of employees, particularly as the company has record production and near-record profits from Canada.

Betting against Canadian workers is always a mistake.

It was wonderful to tour the Commissioner’s Park at the Canadian Institute of Forestry for #NationalForestWeek last week. Our forests are not just part of our heritage, they're vital to biodiversity, climate action, & future generations—thank you to the Institute for their leadership & stewardship

It’s National Forest Week. A time to celebrate forests, and to face the growing wildfire threat.

This summer was one of the worst wildfire seasons on record. Canada was there, deploying aid, supporting evacuations, and protecting Canadians.

The challenge is growing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBIa...

It's reported the UCP wants to preemptively use the notwithstanding clause on it's problematic transgender laws. 

As Albertans, we should have deep concerns, and we should make our voices heard.
Notwithstanding
Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

“Gun crime is up so why is the government wasting time trying to get guns off the street” is not the question period own Andrew Scheer seems to think it is.

Since Mark Carney was sworn in as PM we've lowered taxes, eliminated the consumer carbon price and increased investments in affordable housing.

Gas prices are down, it's easier to buy a new home, more of your paycheque stays in your pocket. And we're just getting started.

Let’s grow wages, let’s push down costs, let’s help those on the margins.

And yes, let's manage debt. Sensibly, gradually, through shifting from spending to investing and growing our economy.

All things the Liberals are working on. Hope the Conservatives join us. (10/10)

This is one issue, but part of a broad trend of opposition “solutions” that find an evident challenge and tie it to an unrelated one.

If you don’t properly diagnose the problem, you can’t fix it. You'll solve for the wrong thing and you will be left with high food prices. (9/10)

Government debt comes from government spending. Much of it directly supports affordability: tax cuts, affordable housing, child benefits, OAS payments, school lunch programs. It directly funds food programs! (8/10)

I don’t know if the Conservatives actually mean what they say or if they’re just looking for quick politics.
But indiscriminate spending cuts won’t solve the cost of living problem and will instead make the pain of it an awful lot worse.

It would be counterproductive. (7/10)

There’s a number of reasons - advanced economies rely more on bond markets than printing money and indebted governments are MORE incentivized to have sophisticated systems that keep inflation stable and low (just to name two). (6/10)

…there’s a slight negative correlation between government spending and inflation in developed countries (including or excluding outlier Japan).

Meaning, the data shows the higher public debt is, the LOWER inflation tends to be. (5/10)

Second, in developed economies, THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN GOVERNMENT DEBT AND INFLATION.

Lowering debt is good for many reasons, but if your end goal is to lower inflation, evidence is that slashing government debt does nothing (no correlation).

In fact... (4/10)

But there are two countervailing truths.

First, as already alluded to, the moment we’re in. It requires us to open our wallet.

Building the G7's strongest economy, new trade relationships/infrastructure, supporting Canadians through these times - takes time and money. (3/10)

In a way I feel funny saying this.

I want to reduce government debt. I lament we have debt levels where we do at this moment (though I will concede as Canadians we have a very normal level of public debt for a G7 country). (2/10)

Conservatives keep saying gov't debt drives inflation.

A theory that makes sense, right? Spend more, more money in system, inflation.

But it's wrong. Real world data says the opposite.

And if you solve for the wrong thing, you won’t fix the problem. We can’t afford that.

Let's talk about the Conservative line of attack on food inflation. Has food gotten more expensive? Yes, and there's work to be done. But for them to suggest this is a uniquely Canadian problem is exactly the problem with politics these days.

I didn’t stand and applaud.

Most did, however, as I said in another reply in defence of colleagues on both sides of the aisle that did, they seemed to be reacting to the content in the statement calling for civility, not the ending comments about Charlie Kirk.
