Hot take from an actual economics professor: every federal politician currently fighting over who is "badly educated on economics" has a record of bad economic policy. The credential war is a diversion.

"And every consequence we absorb is one the system never has to face."
We spent the last 15yrs in Alberta "absorbing" in our EDs and in our hospital wards and hallways... we let sequential govt's avoid Workforce and Capacity Planning...

Conservatives in Canada look at this and are "Why aren't we this friendly in our CUSMA negotiations" completely forgetting ignoring the US isn't trying to annex Mexico. They are going to be much shittier to us because they don't want a deal. They want to erase us as a country. #cdnpoli
Electoral boundary maps: majority report and the UCP-proposed gerrymandered report
The UCP LOST 34 out of 46 seats in Edmonton (0/20) and Calgary (12/26) in the last election.
No wonder Danielle thinks she has to cheat to hold onto power by gerrymandering.

I was proud to vote for @JennyKwan's common sense No More Loopholes Act.
Because the Liberals blocked it, Canadian weapons will keep flowing through the US to ICE and to regimes committing war crimes and genocide.
That's not leadership.
Canadians deserve better.

This is the part where Conservatives start screaming about those fucking Liberals, forgetting that Universities are the domain of the provinces, and the Conservative-run provinces have been waging a full-on war against them via massive funding cuts.

The best news I've read in a long time.
Elections Alberta is demanding answers from the Alberta Prosperity Project on compliance with initiative petition financing rules - and doing so now rather than waiting until the petition papers are handed in.
Kudos Elections Alberta.

Dear Premier Smith,
Withdraw your proposal for a new UCP electoral boundaries committee.
Electoral boundaries must be set through an independent, non-partisan process.

Doctors disputed the claim.
It was repeated anyway. Then it became law.
The documented record tells a different story.

Softwood lumber. Summary: US needs Canadian lumber. Canada has options.
"Carney's gov't refused to absorb the tariff, refused to negotiate the rate, & instead signed framework agreements redirecting Cdn lumber exports to the EU, UK, Japan & Korea."

If you want to understand the 2025 election and #cdnpoli in 2026, start here:
People don’t vote for change when they fear losing what they have.
They vote to protect it.
That’s exactly what happened.

The premise of the AB/Canada Agreement on Impact Assessment, signed April 2 is that the feds should trust the province to conduct assessment.
Today, April 14, we learn that "trust" takes the form of a 120 day approval process for designated projects.

Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats Follow BREAKING: Trump's nemesis Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney scores a massive election victory and secures a majority government — proving that the world is starving for sane leadership. This is going to drive Trump up the wall... "Mark Carney entered the political arena about 15 months ago, but he is proving himself to be an astute politician," said Daniel Béland, a political-science professor at McGill University. "He remains popular nearly a year after leading his party to victory in late April 2025 and, with the help of a series of floor-crossings, he is now at the helm of a majority government that provides more stability and greater capacity to move forward with his economic and policy agenda." The candidates running from Carney's Liberal Party won big during a round of special election last night, winning two parliamentary districts with a third projected win in sight. Thanks to these results, Carney will be able to remain in power until at least 2029, outlasting Trump's presidency. Carney was able to get elected over his conservative opponent originally in part because of backlash against the Trump presidency. Canadians were infuriated about the calls to make their country the "51st state" and voted accordingly.
Since becoming prime minister, Carney has boldly held the line against Trump. He has condemned his illegal Iran War as a "failure of the international order" and urged immediate deescalation, strong words from the leader of America's closest ally. In January, Carney made waves around the world — and ruffled MAGA feathers - by declaring at the World Economic Forum that American global dominance is ending because "this bargain no longer works." He outlined how the destabilizing effects of the Trump presidency are rewriting the global power structure. Canada will now look to other nations to build their prosperity, relying less on the United States which is always just one bad election away from another Trump. Clearly, Carney's vision of the future has struck a chord with Canadians. While he's leading them towards prosperity and a new era within the global community, Trump is dragging our country into a new dark age. Please and share to congratulate Mark Carney! 12:36 PM • Apr 14, 2026 • 53.6K Views 582 {7 975 Relevanty 2.7K 风 52 View quotes ›
James Tate C @JamesTate121 Follow G... What was meant to be a show of force has spiraled into a full-blown agricultural disaster. T.r.u.m.p's latest potash tariffs were designed to pressure Canada, but instead they detonated inside America's own farming heartland. In an emergency meeting at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a senior Trump adviser reportedly admitted the unthinkable: the policy had backfired so badly that American farmers may not survive the growing season. Canada wasted no time. As the world's largest potash supplier, Ottawa redirected exports to Asia and Europe within days, locking in billion-dollar contracts and tightening its grip on the global fertilizer market. One Canadian official mocked the situation bluntly, saying that if the U.S. doesn't want Canadian potash, the rest of the world gladly will. On the ground in lowa, the consequences turned personal. A U.S. farmer broke down during a live interview, explaining that without Canadian potash, crops simply cannot be grown at scale. The result is stark: Canada posts record profits and cements its status as the undisputed "fertilizer king," while the United States loses control of a critical supply chain at the worst possible moment of the planting season. Analysts are already calling this the worst trade failure of Trump's year — a pressure tactic that ended up crushing the very people it claimed to defend. SHOCKING HISTORIC TRUMP HANDS CANADA A BIG WI

Pierre Poilievre. He’s not strong enough to answer tough questions from the media the day after his party not only won no by-elections, but lost vote share in EVERY by-election
Cpc vote collapsed from 18% in TerreBonne last election to 3%

My God all the fuss about floor crossing to the Liberal party. Should be asking why they are crossing to start with. No one is being hand cuffed, people did not want to stay under Pp's leadership. Just maybe the liberal party is a better fit for what they want to accomplish.
#cdnpoli
Who will be first reporter with the guts to ask Pierre this ?
What do you think about this?
“I think Stephen Harper put it the best when he said the only people that seem to be complaining about floor crossing are those who are not receiving the floor crossers and he's absolutely right. “ #Cdnpoli
Poilievre says he has no plans to resign at a time where he doesn’t really seem to know what he’s focused on.
