New Data: U.S. Wine Exports to Canada Approaching Zero. In April 2025, U.S. wine exports to Canada — the country’s most important wine export market — fell by US$32.5 million, a 92.2% decrease compared to April 2024, dropping to just US$2.73 million.

Canada has introduced legislation that would expand on who can become a Canadian citizen on the basis of descent, saying holding citizenship “lies at the heart of what it means to be Canadian.” globalnews.ca/news/1121444...

Canadians make up the largest proportion—nearly 28 percent—of international travelers visiting Florida. They also comprise the largest number of international visitors for the entire United States. But that comfortable relationship may be taking a turn.

Oil and gas hub Alberta has been pitching to supply power for the boom in artificial intelligence data centers. It didn’t convince Bell, which is setting up one of the first such AI server networks in the country, and is opting for hydro:

Prime Minister Mark Carney says a U.S. court decision that struck down some of Donald Trump's tariffs shows that they were "unlawful as well as unjustified."

The lowdown on MAGA's ambassador to Canada. This guy is bad news. There is a reason Trump put him on the Canada file. charlieangus.substack.com/p/trumps-mag...

The U.S. Court of International Trade on Wednesday struck down U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Canada and the rest of the world, ruling he exceeded his authority under an emergency-powers law. globalnews.ca/news/1120210...

PM wants Canada to sign onto a major European defence plan by July 1, a step toward reducing the country's dependency on the US for weapons and munitions. "Seventy-five cents of every dollar of capital spending for defence goes to the US. That's not smart," Carney said. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Rolls-Royce has secured a contract to supply advanced propulsion and handling systems for the first three ships in Canada's River-class destroyer programme. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/rolls-royce-...

Defence Minister David McGuinty says Canada will control its defence spending, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his rhetoric to make the country the 51st state — this time in exchange for protection under a proposed missile defence system.

As much as they would like us to believe it's about "friendship", the reality... It's about the money. "We share the same responsibility for the families who have come to depend on generations of uninterrupted, cross-border transportation and COMMERCE." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #ElbowsUp

King Charles III: It reminds us the true north is indeed strong and free.

Gotta love Bono in this new interview praising Canada for rejecting Poilievre the populist and electing the thoughtful, intelligent & competent Carney. “51 reasons to love Canada,” indeed. Poilievre is reviled and Carney is revered inside & outside of this great country. 🇨🇦 (Part 2 in thread below)

Subtle. 🇨🇦

“The King mentioned that when his mother …opened Parliament in 1957, it was … in the midst of the Cold War. The world faces a different threat with democratic pluralism, the rule of law and freedom under assault, he said.” www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/a8e29b0...

“Today, Canada faces another critical moment. Democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self-determination, and freedom are values which Canadians hold dear, and ones which the government is determined to protect.” —King Charles III, delivering the Speech from the Throne #cdnpoli

Congratulations to the new members of #Canadian Parliament. 🇨🇦 You are taking this responsibility at a time of unprecedented global upheaval and we urge you to stand up for humanity: doctorswithoutborders.ca/an-open-lett... #cdnpoli

What have we become..

Canada was there on day one of the Battle of Britain. No questions asked. In the battle for Canada, the Labour government is pusillanimous. They are begging us not to "drag" the king into anything that would offend Trump. File their objections under F--k right off. www.thetimes.com/uk/royal-fam...

Nikki Saroukos from south-west Sydney says she was “treated like a criminal”, denied her rights and subjected to invasive searches, humiliating treatment and a night in federal prison – simply for trying to spend time with her American partner stationed in Hawaii. www.news.com.au/travel/trave...

“We’re like passengers on the Titanic insisting our ship can’t sink,” says Yale historian Marci Shore. She, Timothy Snyder & Jason Stanley—experts on fascism & authoritarianism—are fleeing to Canada. When they say democracy’s in danger, believe them. America is not unsinkable.

THIS IS THE SECOND LONGEST HOCKEY GAME IN MONTREAL PRO HOCKEY HISTORY 😱

Same in Seattle for the usually sold out Blue Jays games. Thing is it’s not about the money. Canadians have always swallowed the rate of exchange. Who needs harassment at the border. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Every summer, when the Blue Jays come to town, Canadians swarm Seattle, turning T-Mobile Park into a de facto home game. But this year, things are different.
