Roundup post: Absent from the Iran debate #cdnpoli
Yes, in the seventies and eighties they had opportunities to socialize, particularly when they had evening sittings. That changed in the early nineties when they ended those, and suddenly collegiality took a major blow. It's been declining ever since.
That's because he is a jerk, and always has been.
It's might curious that @cdnpress.bsky.social just outright ignored the Conservatives' whole line of attack today that Trudeau's supposed "open border" let in a bunch of Iranian terrorists and that they are shooting up synagogues. No mention of it in their write-up at all.
Just irresponsible.

Jason Kenney: Great ad!!! 🔥 Looks like the CAF has decided to end the disastrous branding as a Trudeau era DEI project, and focus on recruiting Canadian patriots who want to be warriors defending our country! 🇨🇦 💪🏼 More of this please! Quoting Canadian Armed Forces: Looks like a cutscene. Feels like a calling. This is where strength and determination meet discipline and action. This is the CAF. This is what it looks like when a country shows up. Learn more and apply now: Video clip below.
Per Jason Kenney, a former defence minister, only straight white men can defend the country. Everything else is DEI.
Kevin Page gives the thumbs up to the proposed new PBO, Annette Ryan.
Adam Pankratz: Hey Liberals, an oil pipeline would have been good right about now Oil soars to over $100 a barrel, but Canada is not benefitting as much as it should NP COMMENT
I mean, if you want to go back in time and say that hey, all you buyers who don't want to sign a long-term contract, you're going to to regret it in 2026, then sure, fill your boots.
But that's not what the market has been saying post-2014.
That stupid book has caused more problems...
Child care was not contingent on the NDP. Dental care was done in the worst way possible that can be easily cancelled by a future Conservative government because of the NDP's insistence on that particular funding model, and they walked away from their agreement in bad faith.
Nooooooooope.
Since 2019, we have had unrelenting procedural warfare in the House of Commons. Look at the paltry numbers of bills that have passed in that period. This notion that minority parliaments (not governments) breed cooperation is frankly grade school nonsense.
Normalcy bias is a hell of a drug.
Minister Joly’s statement on the outcome of the further national security review of TikTok Technology Canada Inc. under the Investment Canada Act From: Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada Statement March 9, 2026 – Ottawa, Ontario The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, made the following statement: “The Government of Canada has completed the further national security review of the investment by TikTok Technology Canada Inc. (TikTok Canada) under the Investment Canada Act and has decided to permit the investment to proceed, subject to new legally binding undertakings provided by TikTok Canada. “The decision follows a thorough assessment of the information and evidence gathered during the review process, including advice from Canada’s security and intelligence community and other government partners. Protecting Canadians’ data and the safety of children online will always be a top priority of the government. Aligned with a similar approach taken by the European Union (EU), the government has negotiated enhanced undertakings through this further review, establishing clear guardrails that will better protect Canadians’ data and place Canada in a stronger position with respect to data security and regulatory oversight: TikTok will implement enhanced protection for Canadians’ personal information, including new security gateways and privacy-enhancing technologies to control access to Canadian user data in order to reduce the risk of unauthorized or prohibited access. TikTok will implement enhanced protections for minors consistent with the findings and recommendations of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada’s joint investigation of TikTok Pte. Ltd. To ensure transparency, as has been done in the EU, an independent third-party monitor will be appointed to audit and continuously verify data access controls. “The Government of Canada will exercise its full authorities under …
TikTok Canada has been granted a reprieve, and will operate with some enhanced privacy monitoring. #cdnpoli
For the evening crowd, my Loonie Politics column on why Poilievre is so keen to get the interim PBO, who disqualified himself, into the role permanently #cdnpoli
Lawful access is unconstitutional, and Liberals used to be against it.
Emancipation is probably the worst, but this particular one is my most-hated.
Did I say it was?

Hello, The Prime Minister will have no public events tomorrow. Thanks, Laura
No #QP for the PM tomorrow, which is unusual as he has made it his habit to only show up on Tuesdays. #cdnpoli
Prime Minister Carney to travel to Norway and the United Kingdom to strengthen collective defence and security March 9, 2026 Ottawa, Ontario In a more dangerous and divided world, regions once considered isolated from global tensions are becoming areas of growing competition. The Arctic is at the centre of this shift. To protect Canadian sovereignty and the collective security of our Allies, Canada’s new government is strengthening our presence in the North, deepening our security and economic partnerships, and building our domestic defence capabilities. To these ends, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, today announced that he will travel to Bardufoss and Oslo, Norway, from March 13 to 15, 2026. In Bardufoss, the Prime Minister will observe the Norwegian-led NATO Exercise Cold Response, where troops from 14 Allied nations will gather above the Arctic Circle to enhance the Alliance’s readiness, interoperability, and defence capabilities. This exercise is an important demonstration of NATO’s shared resolve to defend the Alliance's northern flank – supported by the participation of its newest members, Sweden and Finland, at this critical moment. In Oslo, Prime Minister Carney will meet with the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre, to advance the Canada-Norway relationship across trade, investment, clean energy, critical minerals, and aerospace. Prime Minister Carney will then attend the Canada-Nordic Summit and meet with other Nordic partners to deepen geopolitical coordination and enhance transatlantic security, including in the North. During his visit, the Prime Minister will also engage with business leaders to position Canada as a premier destination for global capital and investment, particularly in the defence, critical minerals, and artificial intelligence sectors. The Prime Minister will then travel to London, United Kingdom, where he will meet with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to discuss a range of issues, including collective defence, global …
The prime minister is going on another trip this weekend, this time to the UK and Norway. #cdnpoli
On a question about a child killer getting parole, Anandasangaree made a pitch for the Conservatives to support lawful access.
FFS! #QP
*hate-driven.
Stupid auto-correct.
Let me say that I called it—the Conservatives are blaming Liberal “anti-development laws” for high oil prices. #QP
John Brassard thinks that the government’s “anti-development” laws are “gate-driven.”
Zeus wept. #QP
