More than five months later, The Hidden Hand is still in the top ten of various Amazon bestseller lists. Traveling to Australia, Europe, Middle East, U.S. and across Canada to talk about it in October and November. Grateful to all who have picked it up!

Lydia Miljan on Carney's NYT war comments "Honestly, I think it was just bonkers." "You know, it makes no sense what he said to the American media." " And I think it's quite actually insulting to the Canadian media that he continually does this." "He drops these huge statements to the American press where... he quite rightly knows they're not going to challenge him on it." @lmiljan

We haven’t started to grapple with the fact that there was a terror attack targeting Jews in Canada this week that would have been a massacre but for police guarding the synagogue. Years of failed leadership have led to the normalization of antisemitism on both the left and right

In olden times this was called patronage, or a conflict of interest, or favoritism, or nepotism. Now it’s just called Wednesday.

Peter McKay further comment on Carney's invasion remarks "Getting back to discussions about how we get rid of these tariffs, that to me should have been the principal message and the principle strategy" "You want to hurt your team? Go on the ice and start throwing elbows around and see what happens. You're in the penalty box. It hurts your team" "I think that hurt our team tonight." @PeterMacKay

The PMO keeps giving the real interviews to the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and now the New York Times. Canadians then get the recap on CBC and the local papers the next morning If the Prime Minister’s office wants to talk sovereignty, tariffs, F-35s, Starlink, or “extreme tail risk” of U.S. force, it walks into a Manhattan newsroom. If it wants a year-end sit-down or an anniversary clip, it can still find time for CBC. The pattern is obvious: the audience that matters for the message is American editors, investors, and the one reader in the White House who actually sees the Times That is a deliberate communications choice, not an accident. It treats Canadian outlets as the reprint desk. So the question is fair: if the first draft of what the government is actually thinking keeps appearing in New York and Midtown first, why keep paying for a Canadian subscription? You’re not getting the interview. You’re getting the reaction piece. The elbowz set shrugs A sovereign country that keeps explaining itself to foreigners first should not be surprised when its own readers start asking what the domestic press is even for @markjcarney @brodiefenlon

An important document. It lists the actions the federal government & our partners have taken to combat antisemitism & sets out next steps. Also it makes clear the Canadian government recognizes that anti-Zionism is a form of antisemitism. publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/rsrcs…

Peter McKay on Carney's talk of invasion plans with the NYT "I don't think that this is going to move the dial one bit in terms of trying to get Canada back to the trade talks" "So I don't know what domestic political gain was intended here, if at all. But I really find this entire episode quite strange and certainly, in my view, unhelpful in terms of dealing with these trade tariff issues." @PeterMacKay

Avi Lewis' statement was textbook antisemitism: the sort of abominable, insidious rhetoric that fuels acts of hatred against Jews in Canada and throughout the rest of the diaspora theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…
