Survivors could have chosen anger. Instead, they chose hope — and gave the rest of us a roadmap for Canada’s future. This new and permanent National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation honours their story, carries their legacy, and makes it part of our shared story as Canadians.

Equalization payments for 2023/24 were released today! 🥳 Here's each province's total per capita fiscal capacity + EQ. If you squint, you'll see Ontario will once again receive a payment ($29/capita). #cdnecon

I love threads like this, digging into why and how: #History #cdnpoli
Why is the Bank of Canada owned by the government? Because Alberta Premier William Aberhart invaded Saskatchewan. A nerdy thread about the Bank and Bible Bill for #cdnecon, #ableg, and #cdnpoli. 🤓🧵
