All in all, a great press conference today from Carney:This is a master stroke. Mark Carney knows how global power positioning works and to have King come to Canada to read speech from throne instead of Governor General says Canada is never going to be the 51st State. And that we can command performance by the monarch #Cdnpoli 🇨🇦 https://t.co/C4Zt4PN1CO

🧵I remember people saying that as a mere ex-central banker, Mark Carney would be lost in the world of politics. At his press conference today, he showed in fact how valuable that experience will be, answering all questions adroitly and professionally, giving some hints away but never too much. And…

Next, isn't it great to see that Danielle Smith really understands Alberta priorities?he treated every journalist with respect and courtesy, didn’t chomp a single apple, or attack any media organisation as an entity. And when’s the last time a Prime Minister got a whole room full of journalists laughing along with him? We have an adult gentleman in charge now, folks. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Speaking of Alberta, it looks like Poilievre finally figured out how to worm his way back into Parliament:For Danielle Smith, new carpet in her office is more important than orthopedic surgery for thousands of Albertans. #ableg #abpoli

Is anyone the least bit surprised?Damien Kurek is six month short in order to qualify for his parliamentary pension. https://t.co/O9ANo3E6D3 pic.twitter.com/UY26cA8yPj

I think these opinions are shared by millions now:Poilievre really couldn’t have found someone with the pension already?

Alberta might want to give some thought to this point, too:He is a disgraceful fraud. You lost . Clearly and decisively . You could not even get elected in your own riding . You have divided our country in unimaginably toxic ways . Please just take this judgment as a signal from the public interest and go away . Please.

“Treaty lands were never surrendered, sold or ceded to the provincial government & definitely cannot be separated from the Crown without free, prior & informed consent of all Treaty First Nations.” Chief Gilbert Okemow & Peerless Trout First Nation Council #abpoli #cdnpoli

We live on treaty land. The Supreme Court of Canada said in the Quebec Secession Reference that Indigenous nations have to be a party to any discussion on future sovereignty questions. This can't be dismissed the way Smith does here.

Finally, I thought these were beautiful:To those wondering, no Moe does not have the authority to separate SK from Canada. SK is founded on treaty lands: 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10. It would not exist without those treaties. The relationship of Indigenous peoples to the Crown pre-dates and supercedes Saskatchewan's existence. #skpoli
