Poilievre won’t say how he’ll vote on the federal budget — but he’s happy to blame Liberals for the deficit 👀

A few pieces by Monkman, more than a few by Morrisseau, and many, many others including Inuit & Haida artists too. Plus, a beautiful short hike around the grounds await after the art.

Chinese state media reports that Canada considers dropping the 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs.
Just heard a long World At Six piece go on and on about how it was all because Trmp was offended by the Ford ad, ignoring this.
