So basically Donald Trump is WRONG, Drug Ford is RIGHT, & Canada hasn't turned off the electricity or oil pipelines... yet

TACO 🌮 best not FAFO 🤷‍♂️
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

6 people dead this time.

Not a single arrest made.

Not an ounce recovered.

Not a shred of evidence provided.

Here's to a great #WorldSeries and a tariff-free friendship between Ontario and California!
Doug Ford
With the Jays heading to the World Series against the LA Dodgers, Governor Newsom and I have a friendly wager going. Win or lose, we’re thrilled to celebrate great baseball.
It's going to be my birthday in three days and your plans sound perfect to me.
“This is absolute garbage. The reason this is garbage is because the very central tenet of ethics in medicine is patient autonomy, the ability of a patient to choose what happens to them.”

The whole stupid anti COVID vax thing was based on patient autonomy.

Rats! I just realized my BC box wine is "international blends". That almost certainly means American wine (also Chile). I guess it's Canadian secondary industry. That's something. 🫤 #cdnpoli

While #oilandgas revenue continues to be unaffected by the trade war, Alberta's running dog lacky premier will always counsel a passive response. She advocates doubling down on USA export dependence. Free Trade was negotiated for American energy security. Do more effective adds south of the border.

Because the *provinces* refuse to fund their justice systems properly, and the absolutely nobody will hold them to account for it.
Great piece from Dale. In my opinion, we're going to jail enormous numbers of innocent people because the feds and the provinces refuse to fix the delays in the justice system.
For the late/west coast crowd, my latest for @cba-nationalmag.bsky.social on why the legal community is panning the bail reform bill, pointing to the loss of the presumption of innocence amidst the rhetoric #cdnlaw #cdnpoli

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

Trump never had any intention of making a deal with Canada. This is simply a hostage situation with a mad man. #cdnpoli #Tariffs #uspoli

You have to give it to her, she performs her job with great conviction. Trump never had a better gaslighter.
Reporter: Any more details on the president's Walter Reed visit? The doctor mentioned advanced imaging. What procedure was he referring to? 

Leavitt: Advanced imaging is something that presidents receive and people receive when they go to the doctor.

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.
Thanks for the report from the SK Leg.

Jared Clarke is up and says they don't recognize the urgency of this crisis. There was a letter signed by 450 health care workers at RUH, and they're at their breaking point, he says. How does premier defend this horrible record? #skpoli

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.
