Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

It is all performative anyway, just like the White House Press Corps. I would think this actually frees journalists to cover stories because the threat of getting kicked out is no longer there, not that it truly mattered.

In fact, journalists should just leave the White House Press Corps too.

Yeah, but that didn't work with Scheer. He's still there, unable to take the hint that he isn't wanted or unable to find a job outside of politics. It will be the same with Poilievre.

Yes, except for votes on military action, which I think should be 2/3 support.

Indeed, holding a UFC event at the White House should make your point obvious, but as you say, it won't until they feel it themselves.

46 people have now been murdered as a result of war crimes in blowing up boats. This facist regime needs to be held to account. They should not feel safe from being held to account when setting foot in another country.

How can anyone look to the US and be like, "we need that governing style here"?

Although, if it was going to be anywhere, then the UK makes sense as they voted for Brexit and elected the Boris Johnson led Conservatives to form government more than once.

Strong does not mean close.
Reform is a relatively new party, established 7 years ago. Labour has held the seat for over 100 years but placed third. Even though it is ~3800 votes between 1st & 2nd, yes, it is a strong result.
The level of support Reform is currently receiving should be concerning.

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"

Yeah, I don't care for Newsome either, but I've been impressed with how he & his comms team have stepped up to challenge Trump.

Ford, while presenting an opposition, in action, he has not really followed through. Took pressure for him to cancel Starlink.

They can't, as the poker & sports betting are linked. Billups would likely be the coach referred to below.
The mob ran the poker games. No way this was a one-off. The mob would definitely have been like, "we've been helping you with these poker games, you need to help us with making sports bets..."

Not a fan of Doug Ford at all, and I'm surprised he continues to win elections. However, this ad was smart, and Trump throwing a tantrum puts it in the spotlight.

Correction to the post: The Ontario provincial government ran this ad in the US.

This is the ad that ran in Ontario that got Trump all bent out of shape about Canada….and no lies detected:

"When someone says let’s impose tariffs, it may look like they’re doing the patriotic thing… but over the long run trade barriers hurt every American worker"

As a Canadian, I say this is a positive development. I don't think we should waste our time with trying to negotiate with the Trump administration.

CUSMA was negotiated during his first term, now it is a bad deal. We don't need to waste our time trying to appease him at our own expense.
