Thank you Dr. Osinski. We will not accept a future where Canada does not have a high cadence and sustained presence on the Moon and will work relentlessly to ensure it. We hope our private investments and absorption of risk is acknowledged and built upon by the wider Canadian ecosystem. We have delivered clear proposals with costs and timelines for ready-to-fly missions under a proposed program called LUNICS to enable a faster pace of Canadian lunar missions to @ISED_CA @csa_asc @Astro_Jeremy.

The Sept. U.S. trade deficit in goods was $134.9 billion, the highest ever recorded in Sept. There were only three months in history when the deficit was higher, all under Trump in 2025.
Here are the facts. Measured by the size of our trade deficits, Trump has been the worst president in history on trade. The tariffs have been a complete failure. Not only have they failed to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., but the U.S. is now more dependent than ever on foreign producers. Not only are we importing more than ever, but we are now paying Trump's tariffs on those imports.
Trump says trade deficits represent a loss. Judged by his own standard, Trump is the biggest loser in the history of the presidency. Also, if the economy is booming as Republicans claim, why have our trade deficits gone way up? Why are the trade deficits under Trump so much larger than they were under Biden, when, according to Trump, we had the worst economy in U.S. history?
Here are the facts. When you compare Trump's first two years to Biden's last two, GDP growth and job creation are slower, inflation is higher, and budget and trade deficits are bigger. If Trump is right that under Biden we had the worst economy in history, and the Trump economy is objectively worse on all counts, then the Trump economy is now the worst economy in history.

Foreign capital should not be able to buy our companies and kill them to remove competition against their industries back home.

Exactly what I thought. The BoC is worried about second-round effects. From the statement (and there is more): “While businesses have mostly absorbed higher input costs so far, Bank surveys suggest cost pass-through will increase over the next year.”

Not ideological, not unscientific.
It protects about 3B in other revenue generated by the province in other industry....BC industry. Not to mention the ecological protection it provides which should go without saying.
BC is more than just a port for Alberta's use.

As I embark on my first spacewalk tomorrow, my colleague Anil and I will be able to count on the support of a Canadian legend: Canadarm2.
À la veille de ma première sortie dans l’espace, mon collègue Anil et moi pourrons compter sur l’appui d’une légende canadienne : Canadarm2.
ALT Canadarm2 extends across the frame, with Earth’s blue horizon, clouds, and ocean visible in the background from the International Space Station. Le Canadarm2 traverse l’image, avec l’horizon bleu de la Terre, des nuages et l’océan visibles en arrière-plan depuis la Station spatiale internationale.

Nobody is pushing to “join the EU.” Literally nobody.
Europe's economy is in shambles and fracturing politically. The idea that they will lead the 'new world order' is laughable.
From a Canadian perspective, the push to join the EU is contrived and clearly not in the best interests of regular Canadians. It is about breathing life into a tired globalist establishment and bailing out a failed ideology.

Both the Federal government and Career Colleges Ontario, warned the Ford government that some private career colleges were abusing OSAP.
But Ford shoveled almost a billion dollars to the suspect career colleges last year—the same ones whose Directors and Executives donated a $150,000 to the Ford Conservatives.
The @OntarioNDP has asked for Ford's Minister of Colleges and Universities to resign.

Fun Fact 1 — @JohnBrassardCPC has a Grade 12 education as his highest level achieved. He flunked out of community college (next to impossible to do) eventually becoming a fireman.
Fun Fact 2 — Diana Fox Carney has more letters after her name than needed to spell John Brassard.
