  6. #PaulWells on #PierrePoilievre's national unity speech: "The speech can be divided into three parts that make two arguments, verse-chorus-verse: Canada is great, Liberals are terrible, Canada is great. This wasn’t the speech I’d have given, but then, nobody asked me. Was it a useful contribution from Poilievre? Absolutely."

  16. #PaulWells has published an argument that Canada's failure to build more #LNG terminals over the last ten years has been because of economics, rather than government policy.

    Max Fawcett's beef with Poilievre (and me)
    paulwells.substack.com/p/mac-f

    I see that ten LNG terminals opened in the US in that time frame, so I tend to think regulation is part of the story.

  21. #PaulWells reprints a column from #LeDevoir, reminding us that opposition to Quebec's law requiring schools to fire women wearing headscarves is shared by many francophone Quebeckers. (The column doesn't say so, but similar laws would have supporters outside Québec as well.)

    A disgrace — #JeanFrançoisNadeau
    paulwells.substack.com/p/a-dis

    This law will, I trust, ultimately be repealed, once voters see the real problems it creates in response to exaggerated fears.

  26. #PaulWells has posted, in full, both the speech that Prime Minister #MarkCarney gave in Davos, and the response from #PierrePoilievre. It's good to see Canada's top federal leaders agree on certain key points, and interesting to see where they disagree (notably on how friendly we should be with China):

  31. "Readers who cannot conceive of Quebec except as a place where equalization payments go to die would be interested to learn that Legault was obsessed with the gap in economic performance between Quebec and the rest of Canada, examined the latest statistics on that gap every morning when he got to the office, and sought in concrete ways to reduce it."

  36. "In some ways it’s obvious how to respond to a changing United States. (i) Keep as much of the bilateral relationship as can be salvaged, consistent with Canadian values and the whims of the White House incumbent; (ii) seek other markets and friends east, west and further south; and (iii) build up a Canadian community that’s less dependent, not just on the Americans, but on anyone. [...] Option (iii) probably gets the least attention. It should get more."

  41. Just finished listening to the #PaulWells Holiday Show podcast. I found the most insight came from David Herle, particularly:
    a) His recognition that #CanPol is deeply divided between those who think Canada is working reasonably well and want to defend it (Boomers), and those who think it isn't working well at all.
    b) His remark that Quebeckers see that English Canada, rather than being a threat to French, is a protection against the real threat, the Americans.
