Marco Navarro-Genie argues Ottawa props up supply management that inflates food prices, then borrows billions for grocery rebates. Parliament keeps groceries costly, deficits rising, and families paying three times through checkout, debt, and inflation nationwide.

In collective bargaining, the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation pushed for solutions to classroom complexity. Now, the provincial government must put $20 million per year into a class complexity fund for small schools. Schools with more than 150 must hire a special teacher. #skpoli #education

Ontario education minister Paul Calandra’s recently visited Michaela Community School, called "Britain's strictest" by some. The lessons for education are clear: discipline, knowledge-rich curriculum, whole-class teaching, and school choice. #ONpoli #cdnpoli #education

Canada’s Supreme Court stunned many when it struck down one-year mandatory minimums for accessing or possessing child sexual abuse materials as “cruel and unusual.” But their rationale was based on a hypothetical scenario quite different from the cases before them. #SCC #legalreform

Senior Fellow Joseph Fournier argues Canada’s future lies beyond big cities. A rural revival is underway, powered by affordability, trades and AI disruptions. Sovereignty, productivity and well-being now depend on embracing life beyond the urban core.

The new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (formerly GST credit) offers a one-time top-up and a 25% boost for five years—but many modest-income families won’t qualify. Exempting the first $25,000 of income would be better. #CanadaGroceriesBenefit #GSTCredit #CostOfLiving #TaxRelief #Groceries

Marco Navarro-Genie argues Alberta dodged economic self-sabotage by killing Bill 201. Repeating the Notley-era wage hikes would have priced young workers out of jobs, shuttered more businesses, and hiked costs—all under the guise of fairness.

75% of Canadian exports go to the United States, so we all should care if our Prime Minister has talked to Donald Trump lately. It could hurt Canada if Trump doesn't need CUSMA.
