"A Liberal can seldom be a partisan of the status quo. He tends to be a reformer – attempting to move society, to modify its institutions, to liberate its citizens. The liberal is an optimist at heart; who trusts people." - Pierre Elliott Trudeau, April 1974

My sense is that Quebec voters really wanted to avoid this sort of performance for the sake of provoking tensions with Ottawa, and no benefit for Quebecers.

Canadian heavy crude is fetching near-record premiums across the Pacific, bolstering the case for the country’s plan to build a new pipeline to its west coast.
A barrel of Canadian Cold Lake crude delivered to South Korea traded at a record $9.50 a barrel more than the Dubai crude benchmark in September.
It’s a stark contrast to the weakening price Canadian oil is getting in the US, its biggest market. Oil sands benchmark Western Canadian Select’s discount, called a differential, to a monthly average of West Texas Intermediate futures widened to as much as $28.25 a barrel in Alberta last week, the biggest in almost four years.

Kory Teneycke on rumours a Canada-U.S. trade deal is close: "They are not people who bargain in good faith or have demonstrated a respect for agreements that they themselves have signed. There are no deals, even if you get a deal."

The Trump administration is suggesting Canadian politicians are potentially meddling in the U.S. midterm elections. What’s behind the message?
Former consul general Tom Clark and former U.S. diplomat to Canada Maryscott Greenwood weigh in…

I can’t believe this needs saying but let me say it: when Trump claims Canada will “give us anything at this moment”
1) he’s not serious
2) he can’t be trusted
3) no deal is better because of 1 and 2

For all the heads of business groups who keep saying to get “back to the table” - you know the rest of us can hear him right?

NEW from me:
Last year, Mark Carney set a goal to double Canada's non-US exports by 2035. Today, he's already halfway there
In response to Trump's tariffs & threats, Canadian businesses, consumers, & even tourists are taking difficult steps to decouple from the US🧵

The tenor of this piece may be judged by the fact that it refers to the Alberta referendum as if it were likely to pass; that it refers to Marine Le Pen's National Rally as "far right," ie in ironic quotation marks; and that it refers unironically to Canadian opposition to Trump as a "hissy fit."

Ralph Goodale on Pete Hoekstra: "He really should remember that his role has changed. He's no longer the Michigan politician. He's a diplomat and an ambassador, and he should behave in a diplomatic fashion that is respectable in the country in which he is located."

Greg MacEachern on U.S. allegations of election interference: "How can we be ready to be the 51st state, we can't defend ourselves, yet we're such a superpower, we can influence the outcome of an American election? It deserves to be mocked."

Martin Patriquin says Trump claiming to "have all the cards" in the trade war with Canada on the very day he lifted tariffs affecting Maine is "a sign of weakness on the part of Donald Trump."

Gary Mason on election interference: "There's one set of rules for them, and another set of rules for everybody else. And people are fed up with it. The rest of the world is fed up with it. And that's why the U.S. has become a pariah country. People don't like them. Canadians don't like them."

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

Mark Carney on preparing for the possibility of a U.S. invasion: "The president of the United States is under no illusions. It's absolutely clear where I stand, where Canada stands, where Canadian stands. We'll never be the 51st state."

Trump is making tariff changes to shore up a Senate race -- Maine Senator Susan Collins, among the most endangered GOP senators in this cycle, announces that nine categories of products will be exempted from Trump's tariffs on Canada.

So Collins becomes seen as even closer to Trump. And it’s as if tariffs are… bad?

Freeland: The President is destroying the US market. In fact, your stock market is performing worse than the stock markets in Europe or Canada.
And all of this for what reason? Because Canadians aren't being nice enough. The end result was doing something that's hard to do... making Canadians angry.
