Canada’s new cabinet met for the first time this morning.
One of our first orders of business: a tax cut for the middle class. Starting July 1, hard-working Canadians will keep more of their paycheques.

A lot of the discussion about Vancouver's housing crisis is shortsighted. The primary cause of today's crisis is the collapse in housing production in the 1970s. Gregor was just the one holding the hand grenade when the accumulated shortage reached catastrophic proportions.

This isn't hypothetical.
The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

You have to understand: most infectious disease specialists generally play down the urgency of their language, unless they are staring into the really, really bad stuff.
Internationally we need to get our collective 💩together concerning surveillance, prevention and communication about highly pathogenic avian influenza.
If this sucker “goes viral” and becomes capable of sustained human to human spread, we are quite simply ****ed.

Poilievre just wrapped his final press conference of the campaign, in Saskatoon.
I went to more of these (13) than any other journalist in Canada, for @nationalobserver.com.
Didn’t get a single question.
Which meant not one person asked PP about climate policy outside of the debates.

The night of the English-language election debate in Montreal was not Canadian journalism’s finest night.
There were heated arguments in the press room, an attempt to crash a CBC broadcast, a line of police officers to ensure journalists could do their jobs and a cancelled post-debate scrum.
