Ontario has worked its way up into second place among the provinces with strong growth over the past three years—the province ranks 6th among the 26 jurisdictions and gets a C grade.
Resource-rich Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador have tumbled down the rankings as a result of recent sustained negative commodity shocks and now get D and D– grades, as do Quebec and the Maritime provinces.
Overall, Canada gets a C and ranks 9th among 16 peer countries—a notable drop from the last report card when Canada earned a B and ranked 5th.

🧵1. There is no #coalition as the NDP MPs are not in the Liberal cabinet., instead there is a supply and confidence agreement to provide stability and an environment to get important work done #supplyandconfidenceagreement
2. During a time when transitions from a pandemic financing to normalcy must take place Canadians will benefit from what the supply and confidence agreement provides. Federal #COVID19supports expired on May 7th. cbc.ca/news/politics/…
3. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says Canada's surging job growth and record-low unemployment rate is evidence that ongoing pandemic support will not be needed. Those applying for workers' benefits have 60 days to submit their claims, while businesses have 180 days.
🧵1/2 I am a long-time political activist and protestor, as are many of my friends. I'm accomplished at letter-writing campaigns targeting govt officials. Today my protestor friends and I agree that the so-called #FreedomConvoy created a turning of the tide of illegal protests.
2/2 We no longer support illegal protests and blockades of any public infrastructure highways, bridges, ports, railways, etc. We are changing our strategy and tactics to gain public support and govt attention. We are developing more effective means of sharing our messages.
Clear transportation corridors are required to keep the supply chains operating. Clear roadways are required for emergency servicing via firetrucks and ambulance runs to hospitals. Sit-ins on highways are dangerous for sit-ins & can trigger violent responses from motorists.
1/2 HELLO! I see small l and big L liberals trolling each and every thread he, who I shall not name, tweets. They aren't informing any fence-sitters of his deceit. Despite their righteous indignation, They aren't doing anything different from what con bots and trolls are doing.
2/2 Here's an example, he, who I will not name started a thread 3 hours ago with Clifton Brown. Note all the responses in the thread are progressives TROLLING. They don't get the fact that HE is playing them. They are amplifying his message.
Every thread you troll results in con bots being sent out to troll liberal threads & sets your account up for being reported. We can all do better so let's prove that. Let his threads have ZERO responses. Start your own topical thread, do screenshots & don't use his name in it.
2/2 with stable outlook. In general, a credit rating is used by sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and other investors to gauge the credit worthiness of Canada thus having a big impact on the country's borrowing costs. tradingeconomics.com/canada/rating#Canadacreditrating
How Catholics Avoided Paying Millions in Reparations for Residential Schools. During its final weeks in office, the previous Conservative government under Stephen Harper reached a deal allowing the church to walk away from most of its obligations. nytimes.com/2022/04/02/wor…
Protestant churches paid about 9.2 million Canadian dollars. But the Catholic Church, which operated about 70 percent of the more than 130 schools, only paid 1.2 million of the 25 million Canadian dollars it agreed to raise in cash contributions as reparations.
In 1998, the Untied of Canada church apologized specifically for its role in Indian Residential Schools, and since 2008 has been actively engaged in the Truth and Reconciliation without any expensive journeys.
