Althia Raj on the government's climate record: "Over and over and over again, the government is not just impacting climate change, but also nature. This is not a priority of this government whatsoever."

Andrew Coyne: "The government coming out after the sale was announced and professing itself to be shocked at it was just a little bit too cute. And clearly somebody was annoyed by that and leaked the fact that their staff had been meeting with [Roshel]."

Q: Why do you think the Russians don't want you as a negotiator? EU's Kaja Kallas: They don't want anybody strong on the other side because they want to push through their maximum demands. (no wonder Moscow loves dealing with the son-in-law and some real estate guy...)

EU's Kaja Kallas on Russia's security demands: "We have one aggressor and one victim, and the aggressor does not have security concerns. Nobody has ever attacked them. They have attacked others."

Marit Stiles: "I really don't know what's been going on for the last year. The minister promised [the default letter] almost a year ago. It's not good enough for Ontarians. It's not good enough for Canadians. And it's not good enough for the auto industry in Ontario."

Marit Stiles: "If Doug Ford doesn't figure out a way, working with the other levels of government, to deliver a buyer who's going to continue to provide those same number of good auto jobs in this province, then his legacy is going to be the death of the auto industry in Ontario."

Marit Stiles: "Stellantis made a promise to autoworkers, to our country, to Ontario, and now they're breaking that promise. And absolutely, they should pay back every penny."

Unifor's Lana Payne: "We can't all live and work in a data centre. These industries are the foundation of communities and good union jobs. We can't give up on them. This will be a poorer country for it."
