“Alberta should stop claiming this policy mirrors Germany, Switzerland, Japan, or South Korea. It does not. Alberta is not following an established international model. It is conducting a policy experiment with well-documented harms and unproven benefits.” edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

Opinion: Alberta's preventive health testing isn't like Japan or Europe: It's a risky experiment

Alberta is introducing a fundamentally different approach from the systems it invokes.

Remember when Toys R Us closed down and everyone blamed the internet? The truth is much darker. Private equity firms bought the company and forced it to take on $5 billion in debt to pay for its own purchase. The brand died from interest payments, not a lack of customers. #cdnpoli

Dear New York City. Please put away your 30 Percent discount. This is insulting and you may well get even less (hopefully) Canadians visiting. You guys need to figure this out and this ain’t it.

Dear @mayor.nyc.gov U seem to grasp the power of boycotts, i.e, Israel, so plz inform your NYC Tourism/staff that it's an insult to 🇨🇦ians to offer a 30% discount while being threatened daily by your 🟠 potus Stop disrespecting our own chosen & clearly effective boycott #BuyCanadian 📢 #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦🌍

“Inside the United States, the pressing question is whether the country will remain a democracy. But even if democracy eventually prevails inside the United States, America’s old friends will wonder whether Trumpism permanently reshaped Washington’s relationship with the rest of the world.”

Ms Freeland is spot-on, quoting the late, great Leonard Cohen in this @nytimes.com piece today. ‘You Aren’t Going to Like What Comes After America’ www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/o...

In many ways Donald Trump is being normalized and celebrated within mainstream America, from the top of the corporate ladder to the bottom. Canadians should not delude themselves, Trump is not a lone wolf, he is the leader of a corrupted and twisted nation. Don’t buy GM. #CanadaStrong

GM CEO Mary Barra is introducing Trump at his rally. Something to keep in mind if you're in the market for a vehicle anytime soon.

even if It happened tomorrow and all the destructive trade policies of the past 1.5 years were instantly undone, it wouldn't address the fundamental demand-side issue. the bulk of available evidence suggests the canadian drinking public just does not want to drink american booze anymore.

Alberta hasn't banned US alcohol imports. People here aren't buying it anyways. The debate over whether provincial governments should be banning it misses the actual point, which is that Canadians don't want to buy it in the first place. #cdnpoli
