While Biden knows he needs to lean in for the moderate voters to win at the ballot box, his Canadian counterpart is taking a different tack. Trudeau is playing his greatest progressive hits in pursuit of young, left-of-center voters, writes @IvisonJ. gzeromedia.com/gzero-north/wh…
Brian was always the person I talked to first when I was writing about procurement - he was generally disdainful about the process but retained the belief it could be better. Few more entertaining people to have a glass of red with.
Apti Alaudinov, Kadyrov's closest ally, recently appointed to a position in the Russian defense ministry, tells Russian propagandist Skabeyeva that Russia will wage a war for the rest of the decade and intends to destroy NATO: "Russia will win in this special military operation…
Via economics team at @RBC: "Since 2019, Canadian GDP per capita has declined 2.8% versus a 7% increase in the U.S. That marks the largest underperformance of the Canadian economy versus the U.S. over a comparable period since at least 1965."

Trudeau’s budget comeback tour isn’t proving popular enough to save his career. Millennials do not seem to have forgiven or forgotten what Trudeau failed to deliver for them earlier in his mandate, @IvisonJ writes. nationalpost.com/opinion/trudea… Find out more at Nationalnewswatch.com

BREAKING: UK is putting its defence industry on a "war-footing" - investing £10 billion to ramp up production- as part of a plan to increase defence spending by 2.5% by 2030, Prime Minister @RishiSunak has declared. This is a really big deal
The government assumes people will pull forward asset sales before the June 25 deadline. That means tens of billions of $ in assets will be converted to cash almost immediately. How is that not an inflationary pressure? if even just a bit? The too cute by half move to mask…
I have to say something about @KevinVuongMP. It's something I'm not sure you realize ... You know Kevin has been such a strong voice for the Jewish community. And continues to be a voice for all Canadians. You likely know he and his wife Elizabeth have a baby on the way. And…

Chrystia Freeland is asked these excellent questions by Irene Galea of the Globe @IreneHGalea "analysis confirms the adverse effects of higher capital gains taxes..." Canadians deserve answers to these questions that she avoided. She is driving innovation and entrepreneurs away!
Scottie Scheffler’s ball striking is another level, and his ability to call yardages before hitting a shot with any club throughout the bag really is exceptional. Watch this video, it’s mind blowing how good he is.
Awesome and proof that every school needs a well funded music program! Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" xylophone-style.
That moment when SNL predicted the future…
Ukraine is literally pleading for armoured vehicles from Canada to protect their soldiers. They know we have hundreds in surplus and a defence industry that can quickly assemble more. What are we waiting for? 1/2 cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Very sad to hear of the passing of Brian Mersereau. Brian's bio reminds us of great government procurement that were executed well in the recent past, and whose fruits still protect us today. He was one of the wisest people in Ottawa and I learned a great deal from him.
This is my great-great-Uncle, Edwin Dickenson. 109 years ago today, on April 22, 1915, he found himself in the front lines at the 2nd Battle of Ypres, his first ever battle. This is his story. 🧵1/22
This was an exceptionally easy question to answer, if you have an honest, principled basis for it. Example: slaughtering civilians is bad and should not be celebrated. If that’s what was said - BAD.
This reminded me of Malcolm Tucker’s advice on TV interviews: “Everyone knows you’re avoiding the question. How is that a good thing? You think people are going: ‘Well, she’s making noises with her mouth, that’s enough for us’. The public are stupid, they’re not dead.”
@AlexpiersonAMP @rexglacer What have we become….😢
The one on the hanger, I wore the last time we hoisted the cup. It’s pretty snug now. Feeling pretty good for this year tho ,eh boys??? #GoLeafsGo
I dunno, this seems like some kind of shameless attempt to sell newspapers
Tomorrow morning, we'll have a banger on safer supply from @ZivoAdam and a @colbycosh column on the GG going political. Plus, in coming days, we will have @sarkonakj on research funding, and something, um, fun from @adamjpankratz and @preta_6
The is how I view the conniving politics of what was done yesterday. There was no real tax or economic policy involved. The govt needed $7 billion of revenue this year to add more spending and still barely meet its “guardrails”. Only one measure would do that.
This is how I approach the appropriate capital gains tax rate as well. If we're going to tax capital income, we should tax it the same through all channels: dividends, capital gains, interest. Divs and CGs have been misaligned. Moving up the inclusion rate ~realigns them.
John, you obviously hold an irrational belief in the need for consistency and logic.
"It would be irresponsible and unfair to pass on more debt to the next generations" - Chrystia Freeland, after eight consecutive unbalanced budgets and a doubling of the national debt. nationalpost.com/opinion/federa…

This is the most revealing narrative of the Hogue commission: PMO's distrust of Canada's security services who in turn believe that the government isn't taking foreign interference seriously enough.
Stark contrast to the view of senior Liberals, one of whom told me our security services are embarrassing, missing the obvious and focusing on the arcane.

Old habits die hard. Last day (ish) of the Public Inquiry on Foreign Interference today, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and ministers Karina Gould, Bill Blair and Dominic LeBlanc.
@IvisonJ Spot on, Jock. Yousaf doesn't have a clue, trying to grab headlines while the promises they guaranteed continue to be undelivered.
@IvisonJ - good or bad - of independence. I agreed with that, and there was for me the added experience of Canada-Quebec. What exactly is the point of secession in democratic states, that offer a good standard of living, beyond a sort of tribal satisfaction for the privileged class?
@RockNRoLL_85 Rush - Clickwork Angels. Not only the best final album by any band ever, the Garden is the best final song on a bands last album ever.
So sad to learn of the passing of Tony Heard, heroic opponent of South Africa’s apartheid regime, courageous editor of the Cape Times, + advisor to Mandela government. I first met Tony in 1976, when he assisted our CBC crews illegal response coverage of the Soweto Uprising.
