🇨🇦 Premier misses briefing because Canada still can’t communicate with itself

David Eby reportedly missed a first ministers trade briefing because the call infrastructure failed. That is the punchline of modern Canada: endless lectures about innovation, digital transition and resilience, yet the country cannot reliably connect its own provincial premiers during a trade discussion. As reported, the problem exposed basic weaknesses in Canada’s communications backbone, which is exactly what you get after years of managerial politics, regulatory bloat and photo-op governance.

This is the Trudeau era in miniature. Ottawa obsesses over climate slogans, DEI paperwork and global virtue points while core national capacity rots. Trade, emergency coordination, internal sovereignty, all of it depends on systems that actually work. But our ruling class would rather subsidize consultants and NGO chatter than build hard infrastructure and redundancy. A serious country secures communications first and lectures later. Canada’s elites did the reverse, and now even a briefing can turn into a national embarrassment.
