There's a lesson for premiers in Doug Ford's political trajectory.
Standing up to Trump can earn you credit.
But it won't necessarily make voters forget about housing, health care, affordability and public services.
The national political frame doesn't always work provincially.

Why are so many incumbent mayors losing elections?
My sense is that voters are becoming increasingly impatient with the everyday performance of government.
Property taxes. Housing. Congestion. Transit. Local services.
People experience these pressures every day.

Our latest survey of 1,000 residents finds strong provincial pride, economic anxiety and a significant generational divide.

The global commercial space sector is moving ahead, and it will not wait for Canada.
At #SpaceBound2026, Maritime Launch is engaging with MPs, government and industry to advance the policy, investment and timely decisions needed to build sovereign launch capability.
Launch is critical infrastructure for Canada’s security, economy and commercial space sector. We have the talent and opportunity. Now we need to move faster, together.
Thanks to @SpaceCanada for hosting these important conversations! 🇨🇦🚀

What a pleasure it’s been to spend two days with the Paramedic Association of New Brunswick in Fredericton.

New Abacus Data poll: Two-thirds of Albertans (67%) want the provincial government to turn the page after Monday's referendum and focus on health care, affordability and jobs.
Only 22% want it to keep pressing for greater autonomy.

New Abacus Data poll: Albertans trust the referendum count, but not necessarily what comes next.
68% trust Elections Alberta to count ballots fairly.
Only 40% trust both sides will respect the result.
The vote may be decisive. The aftermath may not be.
