Registrations for Edmonton’s 2025 Jane’s Walks are now open! I’ll be leading a walking tour of the grounds of the Alberta Legislature. (It shows as sold out, but I am generally open to a few extras.) But there are SO many other great great free tours to take!

Earlier this month, I had a chat with Edmonton based American expat author & journalist Debby Waldman. She has a mostly US audience and doesn’t often write about politics. So this was a chance to explain Canada/US tensions in a fresh way.

A must-read for every Canadian - most especially those with American work or student visas. Powerful testimony about the soul-stripping consequences of being caught up in the American for-profit immigration detention system. Thank you, Ms. Mooney, for bearing witness - and leveraging your privilege to speak for those without voice.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

An excellent piece from Daniel Dale, demolishing Trump’s latest lie; that Canada has some of the highest tariffs in the world, a claim so patently false as to be absurd..https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/politics/fact-check-trump-canada-highest-tariffing-nations/index.html #Canada #cdnpoli #tariffs #USMCA #CUSMA
Perhaps you - like a certain American president - were surprised to learn how much electricity Canada exports to the US. Here are the latest figures from the Canada Energy Regulator. #electricity #tariffs #tradewar #cdnpoli #Canada #Trump #Ontario

Trump’s “announcement” this morning that he intends to double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 50%, shut down Canada’s auto industry and declare a state of emergency in northern states facing higher Canadian electricity prices, is chilling.

Trying to find groceries made or grown in Canada can be an adventure. And trying to find non-American “warm weather” produce can be an even bigger challenge. If you can buy at a farmers market or direct from a farmer, you obviously know the provenance of your food. But I’ve also had fun - and success - visiting stores like T&T and HMart, as well as Edmonton independents like Spinelli’s Italian Centre, Lucky 97 and 99 Supermarket. #tariffs #yeg #Edmonton #yegfood #elbowsupcanada
