My point is that you have to be careful with premises like, "I didn't know about it, so they've been hiding it and being sneaky." Tech businesses have been calling for regulatory sandboxes for *years,* there've been public consultations, and it was promised in two successive budgets.

As Carney, Trump and Sheinbaum met in private in the backdrop of FIFA our ⁦‪Power and Politics‬⁩ #PoliticalPulse panel responded on what that might mean, and also discussed new polling numbers on the pipeline MOU and the political implications: youtu.be/yMU3v-pAUfY

National Post: “Liberals hold slim lead over Conservatives: survey” The “slim lead” in the Postmedia-Leger poll is 7 points. Yet on election day the Liberals won, over the Conservatives, by 2.45 points. Headline writers like this do a disservice to both polling and to the reporter.

The week-ending CBC Power and Politics #PoliticalPulse panel with me, Fred DeLorey and Anne McGrath (in for Mel Richer) on the passing of the Budget and Opposition tactics (“it’s curtains for you!”); and reacting to comments from the US Ambassador and the VP: youtu.be/pF8EgOezTIc?...

Greg MacEachern breaks down the Conservatives' faltering opposition tactics: “They’re on small‑potatoes kind of stuff… ‘The job of the opposition party is to oppose.’ No—it really is to give an alternative and to say, ‘If we were in power, we’d be doing things differently.’”

MacEACHERN: “You’ve got the Vice President talking about this, mentioning the CBC. You wonder who he talks to—Jamil Jivani and he are supposedly old friends… I am curious about the level of detail… Who are you talking to in Canada that would give you that impression?”

Great stuff @gregmaceachern.bsky.social 👍 #cdnpoli
