"Louis Riel would have been a big supporter of our pipelines and development in the Ring of Fire. He would have seen Canada undermining Indigenous sovereignty to prioritize Canadian 'nation building' projects as an example of reconciliation, of what the Métis fought for in 1869 and 1885."
Carney says Louis Riel's legacy 'helps to unite' Canada at event marking Métis leader's execution | CBC News
Prime Minister Mark Carney laid a wreath at the grave of Louis Riel to mark the 140th anniversary of the Red River Métis leader's execution at a ceremony in Winnipeg on Sunday morning.

Canada and Australia share the same parliamentary system but could 1 in 100 cdn parliamentarians comprehend this post? It means the Liberal caucus in the Oz state of Victoria will decide in the morning whether to hire or replace their leader. Totally normal process. Except here! #cndpoli
JUST IN: ABC Radio Melbourne (3LO) is reporting that there will be a leadership spill tomorrow for Vic Liberal leadership, host/journalist Ali Moore just stated on 774kHz AM.

I love this one of all your details of tariff history.
8/ To illustrate, a popular story in 1905 “Pigs is Pigs” used shipping rates to comic effect. A railway agent insists that the tariff for guinea pigs is the livestock rate, not the pet rate. Consignee won't pay the higher livestock rate. Hilarity ensues, as the uncollected guinea pigs have babies.

Last chance today to read Canada's History's Remembrance Day feature.
Rememberance Day memorials have changed fuelled by creation of online databases that document the lives and deaths of Canada’s soldiers. Christopher Moore writes in depth about how that affects who we remember and how.

This is a prime example of why we need caucus selection and removal of leaders. Rustad claims a democratic mandate from the party membership as he drives the party into the ground and believing he can't be removed. This is not how parties are supposed to operate in our system.
His own executives want him gone. But B.C. Conservative leader Rustad won't quit
VICTORIA - Almost one year ago to the day, John Rustad was on the brink of becoming premier of British Columbia.

There is no Nobel prize in History, but Joel Mokyr, who shares this year's prize in Economics, is really a historian.
Four items by Mokyr: the first is a topic already recognised by the Nobel, but the other three are less well known areas of Mokyr: his study of the Irish famine, his explanation of why the Dutch Republic was not the first, and his artisan theory of the Industrial Revolution.
