https://twitter.com/steveryancp24/status/1947786730171724177The Crown here are provincial Crown prosecutors. They operate free from political interference in these decisions. There is no evidence that the prosecution, including the sentencing submissions, is politically directed or motivated.
https://twitter.com/whittakertp/status/1941897530230415693About 290 accounts were frozen, with around $8 million in assets total. As people held multiple accounts, the number of affected persons was much lower, likely about 60. Accounts were unfrozen in some cases before the emergency ended as people left the protests.
https://twitter.com/belle_levesque/status/1905338613929517131Oil is an international commodity and there is therefore a worldwide price for oil. However, the benchmark prices used to report those worldwide prices are based on a specific quality of oil at a specific location.

https://twitter.com/natnewswatch/status/1923131078031606163Most government spending is authorized by way of appropriation Acts, which is done through the estimates process and has its own timetable for when it happens (the business of supply) in the House of Commons. Four to five appropriation Acts are usually enacted each year.
https://twitter.com/tim4hire/status/1922328985964298727The role of the public service is to provide the best possible advice to ministers and to implement the decisions made by the ministers. It is the public service's responsibility to ensure the quality of the advice being given, and so there are internal checks on this.
https://twitter.com/donstewartTO/status/1922306184645578945IMO, a good minister is one who can challenge and give direction to the public service. The minister needs to weigh the advice given and decide what is in the public interest, an inherently political task.
https://twitter.com/WabKinew/status/1920141645825392882There are a couple of nits at the start. No post-nominals are included after Dr. Carney's name. Usually, they would be P.C., M.P.. In Dr. Carney's case, he is not yet a MP (although he will be one shortly), so perhaps it is forgiveable that no post-nominals were included.
https://twitter.com/nationalpost/status/1918674453531082919Courts have been extremely reluctant to enshrine any positive rights in their Charter decisions. The s. 7 right to life, etc., does not mean governments must *provide* bike lanes, safe consumption sites or similar things. But it *can* limit the ability to *remove* them.
https://twitter.com/prominent_bryan/status/1906857524613226999What polls showed was that Canadians were very unhappy with how they were being governed federally. Whatever the reasons—whether @Prominent_Bryan’s claims of the failures or whether other factors—voters were ready to pass an overwhelmingly negative judgment on the government.
https://twitter.com/cspotweet/status/1902510290367082588First of all, provinces can certainly enact valid legislation regarding what constitutes a trespass, as they have jurisdiction over property and civil rights. This is why you see provincial laws such as the Trespass to Property Act.
https://twitter.com/MarcLevesqueEco/status/1901993333242593480We can expect that investments ("controlled assets" as defined in the Conflict of Interest Act) were transferred in-kind into the blind trust. So, Dr. Carney would know what the blind trust held on day one. What he doesn't know is what trades the trustee has since done.
https://twitter.com/sean_speer/status/1889471874486145136How the current government has handled a number of files certainly contributed to it becoming very unpopular, to the point that it might have been facing an incredibly humiliating defeat had an election happened at that point.

https://twitter.com/TLNewmanMTL/status/1884617432087642421President Trump's pronouncements are, to put it mildly, batshit. His grievances are devoid of reality. Addressing his grievances is like playing whack-a-mole; if we can close one, he will jump to another equally imaginary complaint.

It’s because they are accountable to voters, not because they are selfish. In a democracy, the MP’s loyalty to the leader yields to the views of voters.
