A constitutional crisis in the making. Book it.

True. And I would add, if you have bad laws—and @ABDanielleSmith prepared a convenient list of them for us—repeal and replace them. You don't instill investor confidence through a law that lets a few lucky companies bypass the bad laws and regulatory system.

Why guess when you can know?

“You are not going to unleash the Canadian economy, 2nd biggest country in the world, energy and resource rich, by filtering them through a bottleneck of the MPO” Great podcast, encourage people to check it out @SenatorWallin @ExnerPirot @cbcwatcher https://t.co/AJK2JXA8vh

Hodgson’s right here. If you want to stop Canadian mining companies operating in the United States and mining American minerals from accepting American investment, you are insane. They will just re HQ in USA or anywhere else in a heartbeat.

Regan Watts "It is not incumbent upon the opposition leader to pick and choose what the government has put in" "... But we haven't heard the media ask the government... what are you doing to get the opposition parties onside? @reganwatts

Pierre "Can you name one tariff line that he's reduced abroad?" Rosie "Not at this stage, no." Pierre "Not one. He's had seven months." "He's been on 20 trips." "...I think we've been through enough goal setting and now it's time for results achieved, and we're not getting

Almost everything @MarkJCarney says is completely devoid of sincerity. He can say one thing to one audience and the opposite to another with the ease of a flim flam man.

I defend the ability to use section 33 regardless of which party has a majority of seats in the leg. I also oppose reading rights into the democratic rights provisions to avoid s. 33 coverage.

"Then there’s Canadian energy—arguably the single best way to boost non-U.S. exports. Consider the impact of an additional oil pipeline allowing for 1 million barrels per day to be exported overseas. That single project could generate as much as $30 billion in non-U.S. exports,

Doubling non-U.S. exports over the coming decade is easier than you might think. But truly boosting our economy requires much more. My latest for @TheHubCanada on the PM's speech last week: https://t.co/fFRBszOeGm #cdnecon #cdnpoli

It's been a while since I've done any long-form writing on oil markets. Since we're back to the pipeline debates, I thought 'd give it another shot. Thanks for the @IRPP for the outlet!

Canada’s productivity growth has stalled and currently ranks 28th out of 38 OECD countries and falling to just 69% of U.S. levels. A new report by Don Drummond outlines bold tax reforms to spur investment, innovation, and growth. Read here: https://t.co/i5q8XWVnZo

Providing economic and whole-of-country energy security. Alberta has, and will always be, prepared to contribute the future of this great country. Thank you to @ABDanielleSmith for real leadership in ensuring this can become a reality.

Sounds a lot like what @ABDanielleSmith has been saying. "Then there’s Canadian energy—arguably the single best way to boost non-U.S. exports. Consider the impact of an additional oil pipeline allowing for 1 million barrels per day to be exported overseas. That single project

"Consider the impact of an additional oil pipeline allowing for 1 million barrels per day to be exported overseas. That single project could generate as much as $30 billion in non-U.S. exports, given where prices are today. That’s 10 percent of the entire goal, and roughly

Of course I read it. The issue is if the mandatory minimum were in place it would have returned to the lower courts. Ff the QC CA had respected the minimum, they would have recognized that Senneville and Naud (and people like them) were not at the low end of the range of conduct

This is a common, but erroneous description of the hypothetical used by the SCC. The 18-year-old must knowingly have the material (or be wilfully blind to it). Mere accidental discovery is not possession. But if the 18-year-old doesn't delete it and stores it on their device for

Not being a citizen *should* have consequences. The very least we should expect of foreigners auditioning to become Canadian is that they avoid being convicted of a serious crime. If they can’t meet that low bar there should be no question of their becoming citizens or staying.

He abducted a 9-year-old boy, and now his lawyer wants a lighter sentence so he can stay in Canada. Only in this country could a child abductor argue for leniency, not because he’s innocent, but to avoid consequences. Canada’s justice system is upside down. Canadians deserve

It was great to catch up at City Hall with two standout Jewish community leaders, Rabbi Menachem and Rebbetzin Rochel Matusof. Grateful for their friendship and all they do to bring light and joy to our city. I'm looking forward to this year’s Menorah lighting at City Hall.

Spoiler for an upcoming piece. I often hear people dismissing Canada's housing crisis by saying, "Mike, home prices skyrocketed everywhere, it's not just a Canada thing". Turns out... nope. It really is a Canada thing.
