China is a prime market for Canada’s quality beef products. It was great to be at the Canadian Beef reception in Shanghai today to speak about growing Canadian beef exports to China. Canada in China

I'll just drop in to point out that the value of Canadian lobster exports exceeded $3.2 billion last year. #cdnpoli

Since she immediately blocked me, let me repeat, those are Berlin (Germany) police uniforms. Nice try, #KonvoyKlowns

Umm... Those are Berlin, Germany, police uniforms.

And another $15 billion from somewhere on the military to get us to 2% defence spending…

Trudeau attacking the middle class again

Americans without diplomatic immunity working in the interests of the United States who step foot in Russia tend to get arrested and imprisoned on fabricated charges. Tucker Carlson is in Moscow receiving the VIP treatment from the Kremlin regime.

Sorry Snowbirds and / or cottagers - there's no exemption for you. #TOpoli

In 1999 the Toronto Police Service budget was $535.9 million. In 2023 the Toronto Police Service budget was $1.16 billion. With almost half a billion dollars more, today's Toronto Police have only 37 more officers than in 1999. 🤔 #TOpoli #ONpoli

The Mounted Unit alone has a proposed budget of $5,952,600. The 22 city-funded agencies that operate daytime drop-ins, which are used by thousands of homeless people and provide hot meals, have been allocated <$5 million. 32 drop-ins, including mine, have no city funding at all.

New Stephen & Steven podcast - unpacking the Federal Court's #EmergencyAct ruling, plus the long-term effects of the Israel-Gaza war at home and abroad. Have a listen. podbean.com/ew/pb-6ibmd-15…

FYI, the #EmergencyAct decision found that Charter sections 2(b) (expression) and 8 (unreasonable seizure) were breached, but found these sections were not breached: s.2(c) - peaceful assembly; s.2(d) - freedom of association; s.7 - life, liberty and security of the person.

The judge in the #EmergencyAct decision did find that (contrary to the Commission) that the threshold for invoking the EA wasn't there because Ontario could have done more under existing laws, so its use was ultra vires (beyond the govt's power to invoke). But weirdly...

The #EmergencyAct itself was not declared unconstitutional. The application of it in this case on the facts did not meet the 'reasonable limits' test for sections 2(b) and 8. There is a difference.
