The Economist endorses Mark Carney to build our economy and lead Canada through this economic crisis. #CanadaStrong.

ANALYSIS | Mark Carney lays out his plan for 'the biggest crisis of our lifetimes' | CBC News Liberal Leader Mark Carney framed his fiscal and spending plan on Saturday in terms of a crisis. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre dismissed it as a 'spending bonanza' that Canada can't afford.

“Mark Carney framed his fiscal & spending plan on Saturday in terms of a crisis — "the biggest crisis of our lifetimes…”

"In a crisis …the private sector retreats, & government needs to step up. Government must lead & catalyze private investment."

Costed platform.

Still just slogans from Pierre.

The Jewish community in Toronto-St. Paul’s has endured immense pain and fear since October 7th, witnessing a disturbing rise in antisemitism right here at home. This is unacceptable.

What does "insurance" against Trumpism look like for Canada? In my most recent post, I suggested that Canada's best plan for the foreseeable future is a policy that leans into "insurance" in our…

I wrote a two-part thing to make sense of everything I've been reading about how Canada can generate insurance for itself against Trumpism in the next phases. And I offer 3 reasons for retaliatory tariffs that aren't about emotional reactions, but strategy.

The fact that Obama is speaking out is a start. It is not common for former Presidents to publicly criticize a sitting President outside of a campaign.

I have tariffed

and which

forgive me
they were taking advantage of us
so cunning
and so cold

Go get after it!

The most NYT-headline possible. Children are dying of a preventable disease due to White House-sanctioned misinformation, BUT...

That’s what we did in just nine days.

Let’s keep building, together.

Elbows up, Canada.

The man could learn from Canada, where public spending is nicely balanced by revenues.

There aren’t savings to be found in slashing federal staff — that’ll all end up costing Americans more mopping up the effects. Instead just fix the left hand side.

Opinion: Retaliation against Donald Trump’s tariffs is actually a bad idea Tit-for-tat tariffs may have worked to force the hand of the first Trump administration, but in a very different trade environment, doing so would score an own-goal

This piece makes three wrong or misplaced arguments in support of a policy of inaction in the face of tariffs...

Statement by President Jimmy Carter included on the Voyager Golden Record: https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/voyager-spacecraft-statement-the-president

"We are attempting to survive our time, so we may live into yours."

This speech is remembered for showing Carter's principled willingness to speak truth to power - a trait that may not have served him well in power, but made him beloved in posterity. Rest in Peace, Mr. President.

Carter's wind up: "I would like to talk to you for a few moments about some of the practical aspects of being a governor who is still deeply concerned about the inadequacies of a system of which it is obvious that you're so patently proud."
