I get why Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre wants Mark Carney to reveal his holdings publicly now. The request itself is enough to potentially do damage by making people suspicious, which fits with their "sneaky" narrative. The media argues that the more the public knows

This is one of the most consequential elections in my lifetime — because it’s about who is going to stand up for Canada. #CanadaStrong

Jesuits are always supposed to give people the benefit of the doubt. So even though I find this deeply offensive, I will presume that Mr. Trump meant this light-heartedly (even though he had just recently returned from Pope Francis's Funeral Mass, and he has a Catholic Vice

The era of reluctant defence spending is over. Liberals in Canada and Labour in the UK are framing it as economic growth, industrial policy, and resilience. It’s a smart shift—and long overdue. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/gregmacnei…

Maverick said it's not the plane, it's the pilot. But in 21st century air combat, that's no longer true. It's the network. Why Canada needs to stick with the F-35. gregmacneil.substack.com/p/this-isnt-to…

Cabinet day in Ottawa. Rumours are flying, titles are changing, and I’ll be on CBC with instant reaction. Some of what I’m hearing? Wild. Tune in to see what’s real and what’s just Ottawa being Ottawa.

Trump wants to be McKinley. Carney promised to be Uncle Louis. One raised tariffs. The other built Canada. It's Victoria Day Weekend. Read my reflection on the kind of leadership we need now. gregmacneil.substack.com/p/we-need-an-u…

Ottawa doesn’t run on org charts. It runs on people without fancy titles who decide what moves and what stalls. If your file vanished after a “great” meeting, this might be why. gregmacneil.substack.com/p/ottawa-runs-…

Canada's defence problem isn't about money. It's about delivery. Cabinet needs to demand accountability and performance from the public service, from contractors, and most importantly from themselves. We need a different mindset. gregmacneil.substack.com/p/the-five-per…

Ottawa’s new gatekeeper won’t take meetings. If policy decisions start coming from a simulation instead of public servants, what happens to lobbying? My latest Substack on AI, and the future of government relations. open.substack.com/pub/gregmacnei…

Most governments peak in year one. The Carney team has a shot at real legacy but only if they avoid Ottawa’s oldest trap. My latest on Prime Ministers and submarine Captains. open.substack.com/pub/gregmacnei…

I wrote about the beaver. Not as a mascot, but as a symbol of the country we’re still trying to build. A little sentimental, sure…. but it’s for Canada Day. gregmacneil.substack.com/p/canadas-not-…

Yesterday was Saint‑Jean‑Baptiste Day. A celebration of Quebec’s identity and heritage. Fitting, then, to remember that in 1833, Montreal added the beaver to its coat of arms to represent the French settlers. “It was a nod to hard work, not heroism.” open.substack.com/pub/gregmacnei…
