Statement by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East Canada’s position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world’s worst human rights records, and must ...

Canada would have been better off saying nothing. You can detest the regime in Iran without supporting chaos. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

What happened to middle powers, and Canada, taking the US hegemony- aligned sign out of their shop window?

Wondering how many who are asking (valid) questions about human rights in China about Canada’s new strategic partnership were asking similar questions about the US when NAFTA, CUSMA and now what ever comes next were/are being negotiated

Canada effectively legitimating unfettered US aggression, with not even a hint that this might have horrifying consequences for Canadian sovereignty going forward.

Opinion | Why We Fall for Narcissistic Leaders, Starting in Grade School

People are more drawn to arrogant leaders in an uncertain world. They mistake swagger for strength & skill.

Narcissists are unfit to lead. They see power as an opportunity to seize, not a responsibility to serve.

Great leaders blend confidence with humility and put their missions above their egos.

Pundits from the ROC who think they, and Mark Carney, are smarter than everyone else would be well advised to pay attention to Quebec politics and franco media today.

Turns out there are some things- and a seat count- they may not have entirely figured out.

Talks on #COP30’s Global Goal on Adaptation are stuck behind closed doors. Communities can’t wait.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ needs to step up: support strong, measurable MoI indicators + real adaptation finance. Time to move.

1/3 Canada spoke at the Baku High-Level Dialogue on Adaptation today β€” solid words, but no real movement.

Plenty of references to the UAE Framework for Climate Resilience, indicators, the adaptation policy cycle, cooperation, etc.
All accurate and constructive β€” but very procedural.

Insiders say Mark Carney and Donald Trump discussed reviving Keystone oil pipeline The official said Trump was receptive to the pipeline as the leaders spoke about possible energy-sector co-operation between Canada and the U.S.

PIPELINES ARE SO BORING
Can a Canadian leader please come up with some better ideas for prosperity? @mark-carney.bsky.social Trudeau already bought a pipeline, and instead of bringing prosperity, it’s costing us billions in taxpayer subsidies every year. Come on www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

A new @alberta.ca oil pipeline would be a β€œmulti-decade gamble” that assumes global oil demand won’t declineβ€”despite cheaper alternatives and growing climate risks.

It’s a risk the private sector won’t take. ➑️

A piece I wrote reflecting on the 10-year anniversary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission final report, and the government’s strategic choice to (over)focus on economic development, is out now. You can find it in the November issue of The Walrus magazine or online thewalrus.ca/trc-economic/
