Got some coverage in the Globe today ahead of our very official launch on Canada Day. It’s a solid primer on what we’re up to: a Canadian social platform that can make you smile, where your data stays here, and where the community sets the tone. Heads up: paywall.

Canadian social-media platform Gander officially launches this week, promising data sovereignty

Born out of the country’s ‘elbows up’ movement, the app aims to evoke the old days of social media

Before Poilievre lights his hair on fire about inflation hitting 3.2% last month, this is pretty much entirely on gasoline prices because of Iran. Core measures remain at 2.1% and 2.0%. And he's going to decry the price of food and blame "Liberal inflation" as opposed to the truth:

Prices grow for fresh fruit and fresh vegetables in May Prices for fresh fruit rose at a faster pace year over year in May (+5.3%) compared with April (-0.5%). The acceleration was mostly driven by berries and grapes. On a year-over-year basis, prices for fresh vegetables increased 9.0% in May, following a 4.1% rise in April. The upward movement was attributed to higher prices for broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes and lettuce. Tomato prices rose 45.2% in May due to supply contractions in Mexico, stemming from poor weather and a reduction in planted acreage following the implementation of US tariffs. On a month-over-month basis, prices for fresh vegetables rose 5.5% in May following a decline of 3.9% in April. This is the largest monthly May increase since 2008 and is attributed to reduced supply and higher fuel costs. Collectively, higher prices for fresh fruit and fresh vegetables contributed to an acceleration in inflation for food purchased from stores, rising 4.3% year over year in May, the 16th consecutive month it has outpaced headline inflation on a year-over-year basis.

Just wait until the separatists find out about this. Jack Mintz, who's leading the Alberta government's panel studying the cost of separation, is also.....a Trudeau Foundation mentor.

On the birthday of dictator Trump, let us above all enjoy what it was like to have a president who commanded respect throughout the world and was very loved by almost the entire population. When I see this, I have to smile. Obama was amazing. Share this, if only to tease Trump.

#topoli I just wrote a letter & did this survey about this stupid Billy Bishop airport expansion proposal. Here’s the link to a .gov page where there’s a link embedded to an ONLINE SURVEY. Jets downtown will make the city less attractive and less liveable. tc.canada.ca/en/corporate...

Canadian authorities are predicting that Canada will be fine, because the massive profits will be a net gain for the economy. The oil industry's gains will not make up for Canadians' real losses - and the shocks to systems that can break them. #canada #150bbloil #elbowsup

Oil is Going to Hit $150/Barrel Next Month. Here's a List of What Can Go Wrong in Canada. It's a Lot.

Ask your provincial and federal representatives what they're doing to get ready. Because they should have started yesterday.

Sales of cars powered by oil and gas peaked 10 years ago. You’d never know it in North America, but the fossil fuel age is dying quickly in every growth market for personal transport. The US/Israel War on Iran will accelerate its demise. Source: @ourworldindata.org

No, Mark Carney isn't just like Stephen Harper on climate and the environment, as some have argued lately. But he's not like Justin Trudeau either. That's a good thing, as far as climate policy is concerned. Today's announcement proves it. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/15/o...

On climate, Mark Carney is no Stephen Harper

The prime minister is relaxing environmental regulations, reducing the industrial carbon price and talking up the importance of pipelines. He's also doing more to implement durable and lasting climate...
