The Canada Strong Fund is unlikely to have strong net gains. PM Carney founded it with a $25 B investment from taxpayers. The problem is, that money is from borrowed funds due to perpetual federal deficits. Norway and Alberta's funds were based on surpluses, as it should be. #cdnpoli

Canada’s Supreme Court stunned many when it struck down one-year mandatory minimums for accessing or possessing child sexual abuse materials as “cruel and unusual.” But their rationale was based on a hypothetical scenario quite different from the cases before them. #SCC #legalreform
On Jan 20, David Leis spoke with Dan McTeague about how carbon taxes raise costs and make Canadian oil less competitive globally. While we layer on policy, we sell at a discount. See the revenue loss: https://frontiercentre.org/the-cost-of-discount-oil-and-gas/ #oilandgas
Research has solid suggestions for #teachers in complex classrooms. Direct whole-class instruction, arranging desks in rows facing the front, discerning which assignments need marking, and setting #discipline expectations at the start of the year can all help. #Principals need to back teachers!
The need for Senate reform has only grown with time. Representation is so unequal. British Columbia has one senator for every 953,000 people. Prince Edward Island has one senator for every 44,000 people. Does that seem fair? #Senate #cdnpoli #BCpoli #PEIpoli

Norway and Alberta have built public wealth funds, but they did so with surpluses. Carney's Canada Strong Fund is being launched with deficit spending. It will be a challenge to make money through borrowed funds. #cdnpoli

Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation in Northern Alberta is seeking federal tax dollars to conduct radar scans to find 82 bodies, allegedly those of former residential school students. However, 62 are either in cemeteries or known burial sites. Meanwhile an official list says only 45 students died at school.
The new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (formerly GST credit) offers a one-time top-up and a 25% boost for five years—but many modest-income families won’t qualify. Exempting the first $25,000 of income would be better. #CanadaGroceriesBenefit #GSTCredit #CostOfLiving #TaxRelief #Groceries

Watching this, I was thinking that's a nice gesture, give the man some dignity, and then the 🦶 washing really got me. There is a holy intimacy in it that is beautiful. I hope the video led to this guy getting help to get off the streets.

Instead of wasting millions in taxpayer dollars on politically motivated prosecutions against Trump's enemies, the Justice Department should focus on keeping Americans safe. This is more of President Trump's chaos, cruelty and rising costs for Americans.

11. Mixtape (NSW2) A genuinely wonderful coming-of-age fantasy that terrifically encapsulates the silliness of teenage suburban rebellion and the often misplaced confidence of the average, insecure high-school-graduate. The dialogue doesn’t always feel natural, but the narrative sticks the landing.
