Massive new clean energy projects. Stronger infrastructure. Supporting rural and northern communities. Good to meet with Premier Wakeham today in Ottawa. Together we’re building Newfoundland and Labrador strong, and Canada strong for all.

…just back from Turkey, then 1. The first meeting in decades with First Nations-First Ministers' Meetings 2. Voted 3. Met with the Premier of Newfoundland 4. Hosted a dinner for Abu Dhabi leaders & delegation …how on earth!? I'm exhausted just thinking about it. AND a big summit in Montreal soon 👀

Interesting. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

PM Mark Carney says he has asked his ministers to work with First Nations to move Canada beyond the Indian Act. He also announces his government is providing more than $2.5B in funding over 5 years to bolster emergency preparedness in First Nations communities. #cdnpoli

It's our job to work together — the federal government, First Ministers, First Nations leaders — to make sure that everything we do leads to real, positive change in people’s lives.

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

You see, the separatists getting crushed in Monday's referendum was actually *good* for Alberta separatism -- and a *win* for the people behind it. This here is some truly weapons-grade copium: www.kraydensrightnews.com/p/how-albert...

To Canadians everywhere Smith & the UCP are trying to gerrymander Alberta's ridings so that they can never lose This should to be a concern for every Canadian because if Smith is successful there's nothing to stop your provincial government from doing this to you @mark-carney.bsky.social #cdnpoli 🇨🇦

2026 REFERENDUM - Count completed The unofficial count was completed at 9:14pm on Saturday. All unofficial results have been reported. Official results will be published October 29. Find it here: https://ow.ly/7tV95100P4H

Nearly $200 million to modernise production, protect 6,000 good jobs, and build Canada’s strength at home. We’re backing Québec’s aluminum industry and the workers who power it.

Scott Reid on rumours a Canada-U.S. trade deal is close: "I think what we're seeing is voters are telling American leaders, don't do this. Don't screw with Canada. It's not a good idea."

Kory Teneycke on rumours a Canada-U.S. trade deal is close: "They are not people who bargain in good faith or have demonstrated a respect for agreements that they themselves have signed. There are no deals, even if you get a deal."

A few days ago, I met with my Youth Council for a roundtable on safe social media. From online harms to platform accountability, young people's experiences and perspectives are fundamental to shaping our work toward safer online spaces for all Canadians.

Stéphane Dion: "Is the White House happy with what we are doing with the EU? No, but we should not care. We are a sovereign country."

From the playground to the podium, we’re giving more kids the chance to get involved in sport — and making sure Team Canada athletes have what they need to compete and win.

There is still much work ahead of us. And I believe we have the strength to do it together. Every Child Matters.

We honour our country by facing our history with honesty and taking responsibility for building a better future. I am proud to be Canadian. I believe in a country that learns from its mistakes and works to make things right. Truth and Reconciliation is a responsibility we all share.

A strong and confident country has the courage to confront the darkest chapters of its past. We should never shy away from the truth. Acknowledging injustice does not make Canada weaker. It makes us stronger.

Looking back on Orange Shirt Day at the confluence of Calgary’s two rivers. We gathered to honour the children who never came home from residential schools. We stood with Survivors and Indigenous families whose lives continue to be shaped by this painful history.

Ahem

I remain surprised that Trump’s social media attention never once flitted to Alberta’s unity referendum

The truest headline I’ve seen

David Cochrane rips Susan Collins’ brand of Trump resistance: "It's a calculated break from the president when you know the agenda is not going to get derailed."

Rob Breakenridge on Republican Senator Rick Scott being a clueless moron over Canada deepening ties with Turkey: "Donald Trump has gone out of his way to fawn over Turkey's president and call him a close friend."

Martin Patriquin says Trump claiming to "have all the cards" in the trade war with Canada on the very day he lifted tariffs affecting Maine is "a sign of weakness on the part of Donald Trump."

Obama: "Canada, that historical adversary of ours. It's your neighbour, a few minutes drive over the bridge. They are the nicest people. And somehow we've gotten them so mad because they're just constantly being abused and talked about. Talking about annexing their country, making it a 51st state."

Are they finally starting to get it? In Michigan, Trump voters are feeling the financial pain of his tariffs, and some are having serious regrets. A Detroit restaurant is losing $30K because Canadian visitors aren’t coming. #BlueWaveIn10Days

This is Canada’s path.

Smith confirmed she will continue to use taxpayer dollars to appeal the shutdown of the original separatist question... But regardless of the outcome, she won't ask another separation question. She wants the ruling to ensure First Nations don't have to be consulted. #abpoli

Greg MacEachern points out that while Danielle Smith champions direct democracy, her government is ignoring the results of an earlier referendum on daylight saving time.

Coyne understands the narcissism behind these far right grifters better than any other commentator I might not agree with him on everything but he and Chantal are among the most clear eyed political journalists we have (also Max Fawcett who I wish the CBC would adopt onto their panels)
