Some of our best new Canadians started as TFWs. Wonderful friends and neighbors.
I know many great employers who treat all their workers as family.
Now Canadians don’t have as many children as their parents and grandparents did.
We need foreign workers in Canada. 🇨🇦

Naheed Nenshi needs to get his elbows up Naheed Nenshi has never failed at politics before. But if he keeps going the way he has over the last nine months, he's about to find out what that feels like.

Because it needed to be said: Naheed Nenshi and the Alberta NDP need to get their elbows up. Now. #ableg www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/20/o...

I enjoyed the show the last time you collaborated with a journalist from the USA. I’m sure the upcoming Checkup will be just as informative and collegial.

There have been a few times when Checkup has been hammered on social media for a program we haven't done yet. I'm in a show meeting right now. The gap between what's being posted and what we're actually planning is enormous. Our regular listeners should expect the same care we use for every show.

This grumpy Liberal believes Canadians appreciate facts, not rhetoric. Politicians should do and say real things, not pretend things. Clear and honest communication defines a true leader.

“So it was baffling to see Chrystia Freeland, the former finance minister vying for the Liberal leader’s and prime minister's job, write in the Star that "Americans will pay" the tough Canadian counter-tariffs she called for against U.S. imports.”

“OTTAWA—It is a basic tenet of Tariffs 101, and an essential argument in Canada's fight against Donald Trump's 25-per-cent tariff threat: that consumers and businesses on your home turf are the ones who pay the cost of tariffs, or counter-tariffs, not the other country's government or people.”

Reality check: Who will actually pay if Canada slaps tariffs on American imports? Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland appeared to adopt Donald Trump’s logic when she wrote that “Americans will pay” for Canadian counter-tariffs.

Tonda MacCharles is spot on.
