ACK. Sending a complaint to the BBC… They've made a major error in their copy here:

Carney revealed it on Friday during his first speech as prime minister when he hearkened back - with a shiny polish - to the origins of this former colony. He hailed "the wonder of a country built on the bedrock of three peoples: indigenous, French and British".

See it?

That should say three peoples: “Indigenous, French and British".

Indigenous should ALWAYS be capitalized when referring to the people who have lived in this country for millennia before colonial powers came.

Dear Governments of BC and Canada. We are in an economic moment. This is a time of huge upheaval and potentially generational change.

Education should never have a cost. It is education that staves off inequality and ignorance. It is education that underpins innovation, advancement, freedom, and democracy.

BC should partner with Canada and make all Post-Secondary Education Free.

Frank Graves at Ekos was largely derided, called an outlier for predicting a CPC collapse, LPC heading into majority territory weeks ago

Now Angus Reid has confirmed the trend, CPC continue to decline, NDP collapsing with the Carney effect and Trump's continuing threats fueling the Liberal surge

Conservatives Crumble: Liberals surge past CPC into majority territory, but Grits' vote commitment is softer Singh’s party down to single digits as left of centre voters stampede away from the NDP March 17, 2025 — A whirlwind first quarter of 2025 has swept up Canadian politics and tossed it back down in an unrecognizable jumble. New data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute finds the governing Liberal Party — led by newly sworn-in Prime Minister Mark Carney — surging to a five-point vote intention advantage nationally after trailing by 29 points in late December. Were these numbers to hold, with the Liberals at 42 per cent in vote intention, what was a tired, discardable brand just three months ago would be on its way to a fourth term, this time with a majority.

🇨🇦 Shout out to the Canadians who have been emailling the Royal Watch newsletter at the BBC about King Charles! 🇨🇦

"But there is no avoiding the tensions and contradictions in this balancing act. Emails from Canadians to the BBC's Royal Watch newsletter show that many want a much more robust defence from the King.

"What a cop out! Throw Canada to the wolves. Giving us back pats for our flag's anniversary doesn't quite cut it. Here sits a monarchist who is seriously rethinking his allegiance to the crown!" emailed Brian, a Canadian military veteran.

Carol in Vancouver was unhappy at the invitation from the UK for a second state visit by President Trump.
"I feel ashamed for the Brits feeling they have to follow through with inviting such a boor for dinner. For the life of me I do not understand why he has this power over you," she wrote.

"As a Canadian, the invitation is a slap in the face to the people of Canada. If the King is our King (as we are a Commonwealth country), and Trump is basically at war with us, how dare King Charles give him any credence?" emailed Patricia.

"As a Canadian I am saddened, appalled, disgusted and angry that King Charles appears to be joining the conga line of supplicants," said Jo-Ann in Ontario.

But King Charles will have to keep to the line set by ministers, and if that means maintaining good relations with Trump, he is unlikely to be saying anything more outspoken.”

@VE2UWY I mean, I took an oath of loyalty to Queen Elizabeth and her heirs and successors, so there’s that. But as a Canadian with absolutely no family connection to the British Isles, I think constitutional monarchy works - and serves as a protection against the kind of imperial presidency that was devolved to the Trump 2.0. It’s a relatively benign way to scratch a human itch. #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada

#CPPotD Canadian Politics Poll of the Day - Mark Carney Goes to Europe Edition!

I have been supportive of talk of Canada joining the EU, but I admit, I feel a little... conflicted.. about this quotable quote from PM Mark Carney today alongside President Macron.

What was your reaction to Carney saying we are "The most European of Non-European Countries”?

Poilievre was on our National news today calling PM Carney's consumer tax cut fake. “Fake news”

Where have we heard that line before??

ALSO THIS ⬇️
"I am so sick and tired of #Poilievre and his sycophants & media mouthpieces trying to make #Canada look weak and unprepared!
We are staring down a barrel and need to negotiate with Trump from a position of strength and leverage, which is exactly what PM Carney is doing." - Laura Babcock, radio host

After PM Carney cancelled the consumer carbon tax, Mr. #Poilievre has announced this morning he would kill the industry carbon tax.

Doing this means #Canada will no longer comply with EU environmental rules which will make trading harder with Europe. PP's desperate plan to block trade to gain political points looks beyond reckless.

To be clear, Poilievre's newest carbon gambit would drive Canada AWAY from EU trade & make 🇨🇦 MORE dependent on United States trade.

I can't believe I am still seeing replies that Trump is not serious about annexing Canada, therefore please read each article of a few links from the very many out here that prove he needs to be taken seriously....

I'm more motivated to finish PM Carney's book, "Value(s): Building a better world for all", and came across this section:

❝An advantage of the subjective approach to value is that it is neutral. Everything that is priced can be compared by means of a common, widely available standard, the market price. But from the perspective of welfare, it creates several issues.

First, whereas economic infrastructure and economic capital are usually priced, social infrastructure, social capital and natural capital generally are not. This can lead to underinvestment in what matters for wellbeing. In standard GDP accounting, government contributes no value added beyond public sector salaries. Measurement of (unpriced) outputs would better reflect both living standards and economic per-formance. What captures performance during the crisis? A healthcare worker's salary or their heroic efforts at saving lives?❞

So we know he at least understands the problem. #CanPoli #CdnPoli
