We have a consultation problem. I write about a Toronto rec centre that will have taken 14 years to plan, cost at least three times the original budget - and be a bad building.

Statistics Canada says its national data is in, and it shows a stark change in Canadian travel behaviour with the U.S. in 2025. But that might not be fully reflected at Windsor-Detroit land crossings.

Trump's pardons wiped out financial crimes that came with hundreds of millions of dollars in punishments:
Over half of Trump's 88 individual pardons are for white-collar offenses, with money laundering, bank fraud and wire fraud among the most frequent crimes the president has wiped clean.

This makes zero sense to me. Public money was used to create this database of historic places, and it seems dumb and a waste of money to throw it in the trash. Feels like something Trump and Doge would do, not Canada.

We talked about the tests NATO is facing, and Canada’s resolute support for the Alliance. We’re quadrupling our defence spending — including scaling up our investments in Arctic security to defend the northwestern flank.
