Quick 🧵 on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Traditionally, it was mostly used to find farm workers from abroad. That's still a big aspect of the program. But increasingly, it's used to find low-wage cooks, cleaners and construction workers.

Trudeau should appoint a fictional Canadian television character as fentanyl czar and see how long it takes Trump to notice.

Weeks ago, I saw a photo of @claytonchambrs wearing a garment from Kluane Mountaineering. I assumed it was a new brand with a retro vibe. Not even close. The under-the-radar Edmonton company dates back to 1970.

Kluane Mountaineering is about as low-key as low-key gets. For more than 50 years, the Edmonton company has been making custom parkas and sleeping bags for the harshest winter climates.

This is a great way to incite Trump to talk about Fed policy and central bank independence.
Speaking to @greg_ip, Janet Yellen says it would be a "mistake" for Trump to comment on Fed policy and take steps to compromise its independence. She warns it will "undermine the confidence of financial markets" Asked about the deficit, she said she is concerned about debt sustainability and is "sorry" the administration did not make more progress on the deficit
