Wow: @KirkusReviews verdict is in: You should get my #novel “Death Followed Us Home”!!!

@boehmerB Please!

@rolandparis I always admired PM Harper and am proud to have served Jim Prentice (RIP) in the Harper government. Back then we were still Canadian, not “post-national.” Now everyone wants to be Canadian again…good even if a bit late.

@Concern70732755 I own the Gen4 version of that Glock, so there’s no “could” here! But in Canada it’s unlawful to use it to defend your family, it’s only for shooting practice at the club 🤷🏻‍♂️

@MarcNixon24 Ok but recall that Mr. Blanchet represents a Montreal-adjacent riding and a particular leftish urban view. He was president of the QC music industry group (ADISC), and later a PQ MNA for years and Quebec's Minister of Environment & Parks from 2012-14. #Baggage

@SteveInmanUIC US cops would have mag dumped upon seeing the axe!

@Martyupnorth_2 Thanks: I’ve argued that exact point the other day (I once worked at Imperial Oil) but I got accused of being an anti-oil Québec frog 🐸

@JeanPFournier In that case civil society & business leaders need to become vocal and visible, because the Montreal “Plateau” artist/TV/theatre community, Québec Solidaire and a few UQAM profs take up all the anti-pipeline air time and make it seem like there is no acceptability.

@David_Moscrop Thinking of all the politicians up here who should have seen this coming & prepared contingencies, but instead put all their eggs in the Harris basket and then completely blindsided with everything happening in the past few weeks.

@lraitt Let’s not waste these 30 days: we need to become stronger, more resilient, confident, innovative, and coherent. Let's not be afraid to dare and to take risks. Let's build things again. This is a new world, not the old status quo, so let's do this and be bold!

@boehmerB Blaise, there is little economic case since Irving cannot refine it and it would just go on tankers from Montreal or Québec - quite a long journey just to access tidewater! Northern Gateway, TransMountain 3.0 make more sense.

@Provocative_one @ExnerPirot Oh, nameless, faceless Clown 🤡 : you have no clue about me! 😂😂😂

We have a 30-day reprieve. Let’s not waste it. Canada needs to become stronger, more resilient, confident, innovative, coherent. We need to go to a place where we’re not in a near-death experience every time we’re threatened.

@sjkelly1 I was there. That’s where we discussed writing Triple Crown.

This one is for @Chuck_Ritter92 - even at minus-24C, I was accountable for my cart.

@accfanto Interesting take from a former reporter.

@guyverhofstadt Nice sentiment, but I am not European. My ancestors arrived in New France in the 1650s so I am 14th generation North American.

So far (2pm EST) the markets do not seem to be crashing in the wake of this trade war, maybe the Mexico deal helped...
