Guys, I can’t do another one. I will retire to run a bar in Malta if this happens.

The tunnel and now the island will never be built.

What is he trying to distract us from?

Chart showing in many countries, people see their fellow citizens as morally good.

We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.

The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: www.pewresearch.org/...

Screenshot of an article from the Australian Financial Review. The headline reads: IFM Investors wants to pump $10b into Canada.

These investments will help create thousands of high-paying careers for Canadian workers and unlock important new opportunities for our businesses.

Carney's answer is nuanced + thoughtful. He makes a clear distinction b/w defending allies + offensive actions. Meanwhile Avi Lewis's absolutist position would mean we abandon our NATO allies even if they asked us to defend them.

A friend points out: “Doug Ford has long been obsessed with Chicago. The largest convention Center in North America is a lakeside convention Center south of downtown. So similar to Ex.”

The ideas aren’t unique or original. Much like his call to turn Niagara Falls into Vegas.

Derivative.

In the continuing saga of the Canadian media death spiral. We have reached the malicious tabloid trash phase. Intentional mischaraterisations and just pure stupidity. #cdnmediafail #cdnpoli

Mark Carney is not saying Canada will join this illegal war of choice, only that we will respond to calls for aid in defence of our allies if asked.

Stop spreading misinformation and stop panicking, the lot of you.

That headline is just ragebait. bsky.app/profile/saro...

Basic media gotcha question: "Is there no possible way under any imaginable circumstance at any time in the future that Canada could be drawn into this war?" #cdnpoli

This is what he is actually said and that headline is just ragebait. bsky.app/profile/saro...

The likeliest scenario for a very hypothetical Canadian involvement would be a navy task group to help protect shipping in the Gulf.

What do we want? Steady alliances and a rules-based order!

So we defend our allies in accordance with international law, right? No!

I love this place.

PM Mark Carney on Canada participating in US military action in Iran: "One can never categorically rule out participation ... we will always defend Canadians. We will always stand by and defend our allies when called upon."

He's saying we're not going to participate in offensive actions against Iran, but might need to defend our allies.

Chill, people.

Here’s the full answer which CLEARLY states not joining in Iran if you need it
Canadian media has a skewed agenda man!

Gulf states in race to secure more US interceptors Washington’s allies in region burn through defensive munitions as they fend off Iranian barrages

This is going to be a shocking outcome:

The US admin lied to allies about it's capabilities and now is incapable of admitting they lied. But this one cannot be 'swept under the rug' in the same way

Carney is using what is called strategic ambiguity. Being a political scientist, Emmett will be familiar with it. This form of diplomatic language seems to have gone by the wayside with tRump's lead & Poilievre's pathetic mimicking of down in the mud linguistic diarrhoea.

NATO defences destroy missile fired from Iran over Mediterranean: Turkiye Defence Ministry says missile destroyed as it approached Turkish airspace after crossing Iraq and Syria.

What if Turkiye invokes Article 5 because Iran hits them with drones? Do we refuse? If we refuse our treaty obligations to defend our allies, we will have no allies. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

Happens if Turkiye invokes Article 5? That is increasingly not a remote possibility. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

In a major address in Canberra on the last full day of his visit to Australia, the Canadian prime minister called for enhanced cooperation on critical minerals, defence and trade, and announced Australia would join the G7 critical minerals alliance, the largest grouping of democratic countries with major reserves in the world.

Canada and Australia should work together, develop, and build the Canadian Australian Strategic Firefighting Initiative vessel, an aircraft carrier for waterbombers. @mark-carney.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social

CARNEY: "Although we could not be further physically apart, Canada and Australia are strategic cousins ... Two sovereign nations, two proud democracies, the true North and the Land Down Under, navigating with the same values."

Two nations under different skies, with the same values and ambitions. The Land Down Under and the Truth North Strong and Free. 🇦🇺🇨🇦
