Danielle Smith’s pipeline ransom note to Mark Carney is using Canada as her hostage

Pressing the Prime Minister for a commitment is fair play. But the Alberta Premier’s dramatic ultimatum over a pipeline is unreasonable

We remember with sorrow and compassion the victims of the October 7 attacks, including the eight Canadians murdered.

We remember their lives and stand with Jewish Canadians against hate.

May we find a path forward rooted in humanity and peace.

Very glad to see this from our MP @wgreaves.bsky.social Hope that @mark-carney.bsky.social understands too. From: www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/02/a...

Will Greaves, the Liberal MP for Victoria and a fierce opponent of Smith’s proposal, told Canada’s National Observer last month that he wasn’t sure Mark Carney and his cabinet appreciated the political firestorm that a new Northern Gateway would ignite. “I'm worried that they are underestimating the breadth and depth of concern and opposition to another coastal pipeline from Alberta to BC, and very specifically one that would go through the interior of the province in the way that a Northern Gateway project would,” Greaves said.

Do you know how Goede you have to be to miss half the year through injury, lose the Rugby World Cup Final, and STILL be named Women's Player of the Year?!?

Amazing, fully deserved achievement for Sophie de GOATe!

As the sun sets this evening, I wish all Jewish communities in Victoria, across Canada, and around the world a safe, solemn, and reflective Yom Kippur.

May this Day of Atonement bring fellowship, renewal, and optimism for the year ahead to all who celebrate.

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, it’s always a pleasure to join thousands of people from across our community for the 4th Annual South Island Powwow.

Today, we remember the past, reflect on the present, and commit to building a better future for all.

PM Carney telling the truth isn’t embarrassing. Conservatives pretending Ottawa runs BC Ferries is. They know better — but hope Canadians don’t.

BC Ferries runs its own business. The PM’s job isn’t to indulge Conservative conspiracies. Leadership requires facts, not fiction.
