Carney unveils billions in funding, Buy Canada policy to combat Trump's tariffs | CBC News Prime Minister Mark Carney rolled out a series of measures on Friday that he says will transform Canada’s economy into a force that can withstand the trade shocks of the Trump administration.

We welcome Prime Minister Mark Carney’s ‘Buy Canada’ announcement today. Our country spends $370-Billion a year on health care, which includes medical supplies, equipment, technology and pharmaceuticals, much of it imported when it could be made here.

There’s no place for politicians in the medical exam rooms of the nation Alberta’s Bill 26 would compromise the patient-doctor relationship

Healthcare provided to Canadians must continue to be shaped by science, medicine & expertise, not politics. @drkatharinesmart.bsky.social does a beautiful job explaining why www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/ab51808...

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.
They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

Although health care wasn’t on the agenda for tonight’s debate, I was pleased to hear it discussed during the “cost of living” segment. Because we know that health care is not an independent issue. We can’t build a healthy economy without healthy people.

It’s national debate week and a big issue is missing in action: health care. The debate producers have ignored Canadians #3 election priority, according to Abacus. With Trump tariffs and affordability concerns, Canadians shouldn’t have to worry about their health care system too.

CMA leaving X The CMA has stopped posting on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, as of Mar. 12.

The CMA has stopped posting on X.
With Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration, the platform has become a tool for the U.S government and its attacks on Canadians and our sovereignty.

A woman in a long coat and scarf stands outside Sleuth of Baker Street, a mystery bookstore in Toronto, holding a book and smiling at the camera. The storefront features a large black and gold sign with the store’s name, website, and phone number. The window display showcases various books, with reflections of trees and buildings visible in the glass. A small sign on the door indicates that the store is open.
