In one single embarrassing event the United States aligned with a dictator & war criminal in Putin & caused US Allies to move to self reliance to defend their freedom inclusive of nuclear proliferation. We need leadership and trust to protect democracy

Well said.
President Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is the democratically elected leader of Ukraine who bravely stood up to Putin’s illegal invasion. Under my leadership, and under successive Conservative Prime Ministers, we have and always will stand with Ukraine.
President Trump is right that Europe needs to pull its weight - and that includes the UK. We need to get serious. The PM will have my support to increase defence spending - there is a fully funded plan to get to 2.5% sitting on his desk. That should be the bare minimum. Starmer should get on with it, get on a plane to Washington and show some leadership. We cannot afford to get this wrong.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of joining @willshelling and @lindsaydoucet for a panel at UBC’s School of Public Policy and Global Affairs. It was great to be back on campus discussing public affairs and skills to thrive in the field. Thanks to the students for the great Q&A!
We are the poorer today for the loss of @Sensincmurr. His thoughtful,tenacious & fearless leadership of the #TRC & its recommendations exposing our past to learn from has enabled a reconciled future. Thank you for a life well lived benefitting all #Canadians @bcpoli @BCAFN

He nails it, and it applies here in Canada too.
With the US elections just around the corner, some food for thought about #democracy, #dictatorship and #truth.

BREAKING: Chris Wallace just completely demolished Donald Trump’s debate performance. Wallace went so far as to call Donald Trump’s debate performance tonight the worst debate performance in American history. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.

Ottawa’s fish-farm transition plan could sink industry if mishandled, businesses say dlvr.it/T8SXMN

Learning from @AquaNutProf on the impacts of potentially losing farmed salmon from British Columbia. Interestingly, Canada has produced 9.9 million more tonnes of CO2 emissions in two years due to importing more farmed salmon to offset the loss of production in BC and we could see a significant price increase of salmon to over $30/kg by 2026. 😳

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: BC Salmon Farmers Express Disappointment in Continued Uncertainty
This unrealistic time period for full transition undermines the federal government’s commitment to science-based decision-making, restoration of wild salmon populations, support for UNDRIP and rural coastal communities, growth of Canada’s Blue Economy, increased food security, and support for young Canadians.
