The knee-jerk instinct of Conservatives is to blame govt for everything. Even when the problem (in this case, shocking gas prices) clearly originates with corporate greed. My take for today’s Toronto Star: www.thestar.com/business/opi... #canlab #cdnecon #cdnpoli
ICE’s tactics have been terrifying and tragic, but Minneapolis is responding in incredible ways. Residents are organizing, feeding and housing their neighbors, and putting real social infrastructure in place. What’s taking shape isn’t just a reaction, it’s a blueprint for resistance.
An image with a black and white background and a Latin American immigrant and a title Schröinger's Immigrant. On the left, it reads, "Lazily collecting all the welfare." On the right, it reads, "But also somehow taking all the jobs."
Oil futures rose 65% after invasion of Ukraine, even though world oil supply kept growing. That cost Cdns $200b ($12K/household) over next 3 yrs. It's financialized speculation, not supply shocks, that facilitates this price gouging. Get ready for it to happen all over. #cdnecon /2
On the line in Ottawa: Unifor National President @lanapayne.bsky.social stood in solidarity with locked-out DHL Express Canada workers who are now on strike. These Unifor members are fighting back against rollbacks and concessions that would hurt them and their families. #canlab

When a Government is scientifically illiterate, but doesn’t know it, then its actions (or inactions) can be a recipe for the dismantling of an informed and enlightened Democracy.

A prematurely smug Conservative troll (echoing a prematurely smug Conservative leader) challenged me to update my chart from last year regarding the non-relationship between the carbon price and inflation. OK, let's do it. #cdnecon #canlab /2
Please also see our 'False Profits' report that shows oil company profits, not the carbon tax, were the biggest driver of peak inflation in the post-COVID period: falseprofits.ca/reports.
Conservatives shout out "Change" as their main theme.
But beware what will happen with Conservative Change.
Just look at what "change" did to America. Do you want that?
Realize that COVID was in the middle of the last 10 years of Liberal rule. Blame COVID, not Liberal rule for negative issues!
Poilievre is really a dirtbag. He doesn't support the human rights of Canadians that are different from himself.
PP showing so much desperation...

David, many many more of us appreciate you for doing your job so well.
Keep at it.
There is something deeply wrong and broken within #PierrePoilieve. His demands to be photographed at a distance, while press is kept many meters away so that it’s more difficult to ask questions, is but one indicator that this is a weird authoritarian wannabe. #StopPoilievre #Elxn2025 #cdnpoli

Never forget Pierre Poilievre went by the name “Jeff” until he had political ambitions and Harper told him it would play better in Québec. #polcan #cdnpoli
To be super clear:
CTV Your Morning *approached* @rachelgilmore.bsky.social to do a weekly segment
CTV announced on *national TV* she would be returning each week
Then CTV *cancels* her segment after Poilievre’s staffer denounces the announcement on X

David, please ask the following question on your panel.
Why RCMP doesn't investigate the CPC candidate from Windsor?
Or others who threatened PM of Canada?

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.
So, best we share all the footage we can here!
This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

Most Albertans don't care much for the type of bluster, brinksmanship, and ultimatums displayed by Premier Smith earlier today. Data courtesy @cgroundpolitics.bsky.social (Jan 2023, n=1213).
When a man advises on government efficiency while facing his own regulatory troubles, we witness a peculiar American tradition: the fox not only guardin' the henhouse but redesignin' it while under investigation for previous henhouse incidents.
Where's PP's security clearance?
