Open letter to the Honourable Mélanie Joly, minister responsible for Statistics Canada - CCPA

Statistics Canada is a world leader and its work is at the heart of an informed democracy. Cuts to the agency must be reversed.

Kudos to Olivia Chow, Mayor of Toronto, who has announced that Toronto purchases of things like fire trucks and other products and services now will be made only from Canadian companies. American companies are now banned from bidding on Toronto contracts. #canecon

If Poilievre becomes the next Prime Minister after the federal election, he is quite capable of agreeing with Trump to redraw Canada's borders in exchange for some oil and other big business deals that favour his wealthy buddies and donors. #canpoli #canecon #canadiansovereignty

Here is the real problem in Canada: Pierre Poilievre.
If you don't agree, you are really NOT paying attention.

Lloyd Axworthy (and others) are absolutely correct in saying Canada should cancel its order for F-16 Jet Fighters from America and should look instead at buying French Jets. It would be insanity to buy them from a country that is openly challenging our sovereignty. #canpoli #canecon

@johnfisherbiz.bsky.social

Canadian CPI held steady at 2.2% in November. Groceries jumped 4.7%—highest since late 2023! This tightens household budgets. Small businesses should expect continued consumer price sensitivity & highlight value in their products/services to capture cautious spending. #CanEcon #SmallBiz

3/9 Canadian shoppers are getting a much better deal. Canada's average retail price for a dozen eggs in February was $4.91 CAD (about $3.50 US), roughly 40% cheaper than prices south of the border.

I haven't heard the details so I can't comment on them but, if the Provincial Premiers have really reached a deal on reducing trade barriers between the Provinces in Canada, then that is wonderful! Any reduction in those trade barriers can only be a good thing, & is long overdue! #canecon #canpoli
