J’ai cosigné cette lettre avec d’autres économistes inquiets. L’exportation de GNL par le Québec est une abdication de nos responsabilités climatiques, mais en plus c’est un mauvais pari économique. lp.ca/zjw7Ta?shari...

A few comments on the @mark-carney.bsky.social platform released today. You can find it here: liberal.ca/cstrong/. I provided some 'sounding board' advice here and there to those working on the platform. As always: I disclose, but you can decide what weight to put on that. Thread below...

NEW POST: American Democracy is not in Decline, it's Dead emmettmacfarlane.substack.com/p/american-d...

Un début de réponse à une question que je me pose souvent ces jours-ci : Qu'est-ce qu'on peut faire individuellement quand la souveraineté de notre pays est menacée? @scpartners.bsky.social socialcapitalpartners.ca/canada-needs...

On parle pas mal de barrières au commerce interprovincial ces jours-ci. Comme pour les plans de lutte aux changements climatiques ou de déclaration d’impôt unique, si vous n’êtes pas à même d’indiquer dans le détail comment vous allez y arriver c’est plus un slogan qu’un plan.

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

The tariffs are mad; but what’s equally mad is that they somehow come as a surprise, when Trump has campaigned non-stop on this and controls all branches of government Precious time has been lost, but it’s not too late for countries to mount an effective response 1/x

Looks like this is happening. This great perfidy from our longstanding and close ally and friend is immensely saddening and maddening. But it also makes me resolute to defend our country. We should and must retaliate. A thread about what I'll be looking for in our retaliation measures....
