"That one must defend supply management at all costs — but never propose expanding it into other agricultural sectors, weirdly — is part of the basic received-wisdom package uploaded into all federal politicians’ cerebral cortexes upon their arrival in Ottawa. Otherwise they will feel the wrath of the Terrifying Big Dairy Lobby."

Supply management is a system designed to make healthy food more expensive for Canadians.

America's 49th state shows support for Canada that Trump wants to make its 51st
nationalpost.com/news/canada/a

"The resolution passed in the [Alaskan] house and was set to be heard again before the senate, with possible amendments at a later date."

Canada can defeat the #TrumpTariffs on us because we are overwhelmingly united on opposition, and there is very little support in the US outside of the White House and the hard-core MAGA voters.

U.S. Senate vote to reverse Trump tariffs on Canada tests Republicans
nationalpost.com/news/donald-t

It's possible (and highly desirable for everyone really) that Congress will override Pres. Trump's tariffs on Canada. I predict that it won't happen until after the American public has suffered from the costs of the #TrumpTariffs.

It's a promising sign though that the Senate is already looking at a vote "to nullify the emergency declaration that underpins the tariffs on Canada."

The one crucial variable in this election everyone is ignoring
nationalpost.com/opinion/the-o

"Turnout" is the answer: maybe people who wouldn’t normally vote will come out in large enough numbers to swing the election to the Conservatives. Seems like grasping at straws to me, but it *is* possible.

Let me tell you, if the #CPC win despite being 5% behind the Liberals, people will say #JenniByrne is a genius. And they'll be right.

How effective was Canada’s #CarbonTax? Hard to say it seems.

"When Harper took power in 2006, the average Canadian personally emitted 23.2 t of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. When he left office in 2015, that was down to 20.8 t. In 2018, the last full year without a federal carbon price — the average Canadian was personally responsible for 20.2 t of carbon dioxide equivalent. By 2023, this had dropped to 17.3 t."

Let's hope the trend persists.

If you've been following commentary in the election, you've no doubt heard the advice that #PierrePoilievre needs to "pivot", re-focusing his campaign on opposition to Pres. Trump rather than on quality of life and economic growth. Here's a column making the counter-argument:

nationalpost.com/opinion/selle

The article points out that 38% is a good level of support for the #CPC, normally enough to win.

"[F]or older voters — especially Boomers and older Gen Xers — [Canada is broken] is like nails on a chalkboard. They hate it. Not because it’s wrong, but because it threatens a version of Canada they still believe in. A Canada that worked. A Canada that rewarded hard work, played fair, and gave them everything they have now."

"Some people keep saying he’s obviously a better choice as a prime minister than the Conservative leader, who spent years as a notorious and effective attack dog for a struggling Opposition. Meanwhile, it looks for all the world as if we’re auditioning for a guard-dog-in-chief, and I’m sitting here watching a frankly bloodless and uninspiring technocrat awkwardly pull on a Cane Corso costume, and I just keep thinking, “Funny old world, ain’t it?”"

Nathan Cullen: Tom Mulcair is wrong. The NDP belongs in Parliament

Does US Customs have the right to search electronic devices of Canadians crossing the border?
nationalpost.com/news/canada/c

Yes.

"Nolo adds: “Your bags and electronics can be searched without your permission, for any reason, and CBP officials can ask you almost any question.” The section is headlined: “Know your (lack of) rights.”"

Poilievre says he'll keep retirement age at 65 in play for boomers
nationalpost.com/news/politics

This is one of those policies on which I disagree with #PierrePoilievre : I support "gradually increas[ing] the age of eligibility for OAS and GIS payments to 67 from 65." As Canadians live longer and work for most is less physically wearying than it was fifty years ago, we should expect retirement to start later.

"Asked about dental care and pharmacare, two programs the Liberals established over their last term in government, Poilievre pledged to “protect these programs.”"

I hope all the people who've been claiming Mr. Poilievre would cancel these programmes will now mention his pledge to keep them.

Be sceptical if you want, but it's only fair to note what a politician promises.

"The 45th Canadian federal election is the Liberals’ to lose. That’s not a line anyone would have written two months ago. But today, just three days into the campaign, opinion polls show the party ahead by up to seven points. All the gains the Conservatives made in the past two years have melted like the proverbial snow in springtime."
