Cleveland-Cliffs CEO: I bought Stelco because I could not afford anymore having Stelco flooding the market here in the United States to the detriment of my own company.
David Cochrane: Am I understanding you correctly there? It was a defensive acquisition?

Imagine how great this would have been to watch live and not on highlights because of the + paywall?

Alberta UCP MLA Shane Getson has officially resigned his seat.
(Much speculation about who it was that resigned, and Getson was high — but not too high — on my list.)

Mark Carney on abolishing the Indian Act: "I'm committed to a process that moves Canada beyond the Indian Act."

Wab Kinew calls on Ottawa to abolish Indian Act: "I'm not sure if that lines up with your vision of Canada, that we still have a race-based form of identification in this country. It's long overdue that we have a relationship with Indigenous peoples in Canada that reflects who we are as Canadians today."

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

💙CLASSIC OBAMA: "Don't boo, by the way y'all must not have been to my rallies before cause you know you're not supposed to do."
Crowd: "VOTE" 🎉
Obama: "Correct, they can't hear your Boos, but they'll hear your vote."

This is disinformation @TaffWelshBoyo. The late closures were due to late openings and electors still being in line when locations closed. Those individuals are entitled and were able to vote. This happened across the province. No voting places were open past 11:00pm.
“I don’t know that anyone is going to want to do a citizen’s initiative after this,” she said. “I put two questions forward that were part of a citizen’s initiative campaign, and everybody blamed me for it.”

A thought for all the campaign staff on the BC NDP, Con and Green teams.
Politics is a volatile and unpredictable business. 8 weeks ago none of this was imaginable. And those in government had “secure” jobs.
Things change on a dime and you all pivoted into campaign, left your families for an intense battle over competing visions.
And now some will lose jobs and others will gain them. It can seem unfair and sudden (and it is) but that’s what the people decide.
Know that even though you are all doing political jobs - you too are public servants. We don’t say that enough but it’s true.
Our democracy depends on well functioning political parties and the staff who make that happen.
Thank you all for your service, whether you won or lost.

Congratulations to @LDoerkson on becoming B.C.’s next premier. Serving this province has been the honour of a lifetime. I am so proud of the progress we've made and everything we've done together to make B.C. a stronger, fairer, more caring place. Thank you, British Columbia.
1. Start of election was all about new BC Con Leader
2. Only real media of Eby was gaffes
3. BC NDP panicked when polls went to the Cons, so they pivoted to the defensive on an election THEY CALLED
4. New gov
You know, sometimes being right isn't all it's cracked up to be 😅
