This is wild.
The Canadian economy outside of Alberta is in rapid decline with the worst gdp productivity trend in the top 40 economies.
What on earth is the rationale for this?
The biggest unreported story from yesterday: Carney snuck into the budget a massive immigration increase with the LARGEST NUMBER OF NEW PERMANENT RESIDENTS EVER next year.
Nearly 200,000 more than Trudeau’s highest-ever number year. When we have a shortage of jobs, homes, and health care.
Now we know why Carney snuck his immigration plan into a budget when everyone was distracted by the midterms and right before Parliament shuts for 10 days.
Unacceptable. This needs a real debate.

These days, Nawrocki is the leader who most represents the Central European spirit!
Dziękuję Prezydentowi 🇸🇰 @PellegriniP_ za organizację szczytu państw Grupy Wyszehradzkiej!
Europa Środkowa nie może być jedynie odbiorcą decyzji podejmowanych przez innych. Musimy mieć realny wpływ na przyszłość naszego kontynentu i świata. Nie możemy akceptować rozwiązań, które osłabiają europejski przemysł, podnoszą koszty życia rodzin i ograniczają rozwój przedsiębiorstw. Siła Europy musi opierać się na sile państw członkowskich, ich gospodarek oraz obywateli.
Współpraca V4 wzmacnia nasz głos na forum UE, a obecność Polski w G20 daje szansę na przedstawienie perspektywy całego regionu w najważniejszej debacie gospodarczej świata. To również ważna okazja do wzmacniania konkurencyjności i bezpieczeństwa naszych państw.
Wspólnie będziemy aktywnie uczestniczyć w kształtowaniu przyszłości naszego kontynentu!
🇵🇱🤝🏻🇸🇰🤝🏻🇨🇿🤝🏻🇭🇺

Do we want the EU warning our government to do things?
The EU has warned Giorgia Meloni’s government over Italy’s 30pc cap on foreign pupils in classrooms.
The European Commission is scrutinising the law, which limits the number of pupils with limited Italian language skills in each class ⬇️

Norway and Sweden held a national referendum.
The citizens voted NO. Not the leader.
THAT is how matters of this seriousness should work.
When a decision that effects a country this much on a scale this large and timeline that will span GENERATIONS, it is imperative that the public at least has a say.
Canadians NEED a say to ANY agreement with the EU.

And 100% of Canadians don't know how membership will be defined or what the duties and obligations will be.
79% of Canadians support negotiating associate membership with the EU cultmtl.com/2026/10/79-of-ca…

Sweet Jesus this guy is a clown.
Tells EU press, checks notes, YESTERDAY he is prepared to wait until Trump is out of office to get a trade deal with the US.
Today, literally minutes after calling 6 by-elections, he says he had a good conversation with Trump about trade.
Good conversation with President @realDonaldTrump on the future of Canada-U.S. trade.
This builds on our recent constructive discussions on the outlines of a mutually beneficial trade deal that would create jobs for our workers, boost affordability for families, and fully respect Canada’s languages, culture, and sovereignty.
Our teams will now be working in the coming weeks to deliver that outcome.

Mysle ze premier Słowenii wyraża tu opinię większości. Coraz większej większości..
Ko smo se odločali za vstop v EU, si ni nihče predstavljal, da bo v kaki njeni članici in uniji nasploh mogoče brez posledic:
1. Razveljaviti predsedniške volitve (Romunija);
2. Ukiniti informativni program na nacionalni RTV (Madžarska);
3. Poslati policijo na Ustavno sodišče (Poljska);
4. Tri tedne pred volitvami poslati v zapor predsednika stranke, ki vodi v anketah (Slovenija);
5. Zasesti nacionalno RTV s policijo in zamenjati vodstvo (Poljska);
6. Prekiniti mandate vodstvu nacionalne RTV in izvesti čistko zaposlenih (Slovenija);
7. Poslati v zapor člane prejšnje vlade brez možnosti obrambe (Madžarska);
8. Podeliti skoraj milijon državljanstev ilegalnim migrantom po hitrem postopku (Španija);
9. Zapreti novo Nuklearno elektrarno in zgraditi plinovod do Rusije (Nemčija);
10. Obdavčiti ogljične energetske vire ob hkratnem zapiranju NE ter preseliti industrijo v države z nizkimi ekološkimi standardi pod pretvezo, da tako rešujemo planet.
Nastala je EU, ki se mora reševati sama pred sabo.

🇵🇱🇪🇺 So today's attempted coup in Poland by Donald Tusk was to prevent the country from leaving the EU. Joining the EU is meant to be a one-way-process, no matter how miserable and impoverished it makes the nation.
🇨🇦 Canadians, are you paying attention?
Jodi Bruhn retweeted
Umm... yeah. Let's not become more European.
"Tusk thinks all Polish law should be subordinate to EU law."
What’s happening in Poland?
In a nutshell there are two political blocks: Law and Justice (PiS), led by Jarosław Kaczyński (nationalist, socially conservative, and skeptical of certain EU policies) who were in power from 2015 to 2023, and Donald Tusk’s Civic Coalition (and its partners), pro-Eu and have been in government since late 2023.
PiS reformed the Constitutional Tribunal (court) which argues Polish law has precedence over some EU law.
Tusk thinks all Polish law should be subordinate to EU law.
Despite the Polish Constitution stating the Tribunal’s position is final, Tusk has been ignoring it.
A Tusk appointed Judge on the Tribunal has - seemingly with Tusk’s support - suspended the President of the Tribunal and another PiS appointed judge, causing the present crisis.
What is in fact behind this is that Donald Tusk is trying to make the upcoming 2027 elections all about the EU.
He is ideologically committed to ensuring the EU dominates Poland while the PiS does not want to leave the EU, but want to retain some Polish autonomy. Tusk is trying to create a minor crisis and present it as the right’s fault and position himself as the guardian of Polish membership of the EU.
It’s up to the Poles, but should they really trust a man who creates a crisis to help him make sure Poland becomes fully submissive to Brussels? I think not.
Jodi Bruhn retweeted
If it were not for X we would know nothing about the failed Tusk/EU coup in Poland. Nothing on the BBC, CBC, Guardian (though I swear the Guardian had a story up last night), Daily Mail, National Post. It's more than a little strange.

Who else is sick of our governments piling crippling levels of debt on us and crowding out private capital so they can subsidize a handful of big corporations that never actually keep or create new jobs?
Let the uncompetitive companies die. Cut taxes and red tape instead.
I don’t get why anyone wouldn’t support the government of Canada investing in @cohere
They religiously give billions, with no equity in exchange, to companies like Honda, VW, Stellantis, Umicore, and BHP.
The government didn’t lead the round, they participated, and I hope to see billions more invested this way every year.
Beats using our $ for grants, tax credits, and loans with favorable terms to large and foreign owned corporations.
