I see. At the time, dual citizenship was not an option. His citizenship was restored later.

It’s paywalled so I just see the preview above: “Lost his Canadian citizenship after his family moved to US?” What does that even mean? Genuinely asking, as a new Canadian. I’m pretty sure my Canadian born kid’s citizenship is perpetual, regardless of where she lives…

It’s for medical doctors with at least 1 year of Canadian work experience. Good measure, but doesn’t add to the existing workforce. Our only way out of this is to attract international medical doctors.

I really don’t like the black box. Specially when we’re forced to teach online (subway strikes), and every single camera is off! I understand some might have difficulty, but all? I feel like I’m teaching to a wall.
My French class is better. My two English classes are all black screen.

But it already has 6 seasons 😐 Netflix is messing with us!

Wrong analogy really. It’s a MoU saying if you get someones’s approval to tear down their house, and you give them buy-in, and you find a private investor and don’t use taxpayer money for your project, THEN the federal gov won’t stand in your way.

A couple weeks ago he was asked about the labour movement and his advice was "General Strike." In the middle of a full-blown trade war! I kid you not!

Funny enough, both western NDP provincial governments are in fact pushing fossil fuel projects. Both BC and Manitoba NDP governments are betting on LNG projects. NDP alberta also celebrated the MOU. It’s quite hypocritical of NDP supporters to pretend they wouldn’t do the same if ever in power.

When did they “announce a new tarsands pipeline” exactly? There’s no pipeline, no private investor, Alberta has not gotten the approval of BC and FN yet. On the other hand, for this imaginary pipeline with super difficult conditions for approval, Alberta agreed to increase carbon pricing.

The privilege of being a man, not having to worry about the CPC leader campaigning on the use of notwithstanding clause to override the Charter, the same leader who has repeatedly voted for anti-abortion legislations. Yeah liberals and CPC are no different. Wishing I was a man too. Seems liberating.

That’s ok. We can have different opinions. My job is to find optimal solutions over a planning horizon impacted by uncertainties. I can tell you, we prove mathematically, that a greedy myopic approach that ignores the uncertainties ahead, one that seeks max reward “right now”, is always suboptimal.
November 28, 2025 at 4:55 AM
It’s not “setting them up for failure”. Many Albertans genuinely believe the reason for all their misery is federal regulations. Now, it won’t be federal regulations anymore, which takes the talking point away. Carney got good concessions (130$/ton carbone pricing) for a whole imaginary pipeline!
November 28, 2025 at 4:44 AM
There’s a whole separatist movement in Alberta! Western alienation is real! For sth without a single proposal or investor, sth that will never be built! The federal gov now says ok I’m out of the way: Find private investors, get approval/buy-in of BC and FNs, you get your pipeline. Why is this bad?

They did binding arbitration.

Please people. Read the thing… That’s how we get ultra-right groups at the helm. By belittling advancements and making a big deal out of things that don’t even exist.

This is weird framing, given that said deal actually strengthens the most important part — by far — of said Trudeau-era climate measures.

Because BC acts mad, it means it’s true? Eby is under a lot of pressure from NDP supporters because of his support of LNG project. Of course he’s using this. Same as Smith.
This is just a show! They require BC’s agreement, First Nations support, and private investor. It’s not happening.
November 27, 2025 at 12:47 AM
Please, this has been addressed repeatedly and will be announced again. The memorandum of understanding is about what the federal government would do, not other jurisdictions. They address “necessary but not sufficient” conditions. They have repeatedly said BC and First Nations need to agree too.
November 26, 2025 at 8:46 PM
Jagmeet lost many when Trudeau literally begged him to prop up the government until the pharmacare and dentalcare contracts and agreements were finalized, but he denied him and put all our accomplishments in jeopardy, just because polls showed NDP in the 2nd place. Actions have consequences.
November 26, 2025 at 12:58 AM
It’s understandable. I’m just getting very nervous about the prejudices people hold against Carney just because he’s an economist and an academic. Things that are actually his strengths. The alternative is quite scary. Could go the same way as our neighbours picking a douche like Trump over Harris.
November 26, 2025 at 12:52 AM
It really is not though. He said the memorandum will set out “necessary but not sufficient” conditions. Then he said BC has to agree, First Nations have to agree. His minister slammed PP for suggesting the government should force provinces over pipelines.
We have to read beyond the headlines.
November 26, 2025 at 12:43 AM
Honestly this constant skepticism is tiring. I feel like many Canadians right now are behaving like children. Whatever the PM does, he’s always accused of not doing enough. It was the same story with Trudeau. What do you all want exactly? That ideal Messiah you’re looking for, it’s infeasible.
