If Canada wants closer European ties, we need European privacy standards, not American The latest from the Globe's business commentary, by Matt Malone:

We're disappointed to see health care missing from today's release of the official debate themes. The latest numbers 👇from Abacus Data show that health care is the #3 issue for Canadians in this election. Our leaders need to tell us what their plan is to fight for access to care.

Estonia’s Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna tells me Putin is taking advantage of Trump’s ceasefire push: “He's just using the opportunity that President Trump gave him to ask for more…he's asking for everything he asked for years ago.”

If Canada is looking for nation-building projects that improve affordability, enhance reliability, reduce our reliance on the US, and set us up for the future, don’t have to look much further than interprovincial transmission. By me and Philippe Dunsky: www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/fe4f74c...

"Alberta introduces controversial involuntary addictions treatment bill. Under the law, if passed, a patient won't be able to refuse medications that the commission has decided they will take to treat their addiction." Um.....anyone? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Pay no heed to piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s pusillanimous push to reframe the ballot issue away from Trump. Here’s Trump’s mouthpiece cheerily assuring OUR CBC yesterday from the White House that he’s as committed to 51st statehood as ever. #ElbowsUp🇨🇦 Prime Minister Mark Carney for Canada🇨🇦😠🇨🇦

Thank you, Neil, for your support. Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World. tinyurl.com/yzmj52yj

Anger has been the CPC leader’s main political tool “Poilievre had most of the advantages that life in Canada offers. But still he’s the angriest person on Canada’s political stage and the nastiest leader of a major party in this country’s history.” Bourrie cultmtl.com/2025/04/ripp... #cdnpoli

A $400mn tariff cost has been projected by J&J, with warnings issued that drug shortages could follow pharma tariffs. A $55bn US investment was pledged as a medicine import probe begins. www.ft.com/content/3...

Tariffs on pharmaceuticals, especially during a period of critical drug shortages, is a form of policy-induced harm. It creates an environment where people will die or suffer. Just like in historical famines or public health collapses, this policy frames self-harm as patriotic This is #Autogenocide

This chart showing 80% of Americans think it’d be great if more of us worked in factories, while just 20% would actually work in a factory, applies to much of the fake populist promise They celebrate farmers but don’t want to farm, miners but don’t want to mine, soldiers but don’t want to fight etc

REPORTER: You mentioned you're open to deporting individuals that aren't foreign aliens but aren't criminal to El Salvador. Does that include US citizens? TRUMP: If they are criminals and hit people with baseball bats, if they rape 87 year old women, yeah. Yeah. That includes them. I'm all for it.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

we missed this post by @markhamillofficial.bsky.social the first time 'round but better late than never!

This is terrorism www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

MAGA supporter Cody Balmer, 38 is facing attempted murder and terrorism charges after police say he fire bombed Governor Josh Shapiro’s house in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. But the reich is being very quiet about it, unlike when they falsely arrest someone and declare them a terrorist or gang member.

Spot the American. Is it someone who speaks his mind and does the work to get citizenship? Or is it someone born into citizenship who covers his face while abducting people in a Черный ворон?

I’m just an old-fashioned conservative who thinks that criminals should go to prison after receiving due process, and not to El Salvador or to the White House without it.

TARIFFS, BUCKETS & TOTAL CHAOS “Ridiculous! Trump’s tariff policy, now with bonus confusion! Because what better way to manage a global economy than by announcing exemptions in secret Friday night, denying them on Saturday, contradicting yourself on Sunday, and threatening new tariffs by Tuesday?…”

Trump's tariff confusion is a bug, not a feature Good luck trying to find method in the madness that has left markets, businesses and consumers alike unsure how much anything costs these days. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Tariff confusion reigns, and as Jason Furman said, “tariff chaos and confusion is Itself a tariff.”

I would be happy to have more of my tax dollars spent to support the CBC. #CdnPoli #SaveTheCBC #SaveCBC #CdnMedia

Steven Guilbeault 🇨🇦 Thousands of pro-life supporters are actively working to elect pro-life Cons. Poilievre can say whatever he wants — the fact is by allowing these candidates to run & push anti-abortion legislation, he's giving them the platform to roll back women's reproductive rights. #cdnpoli

🎧 More than 2 million Canadians tune in to CBC podcasts every month. And yet — CBC is the only Canadian news source in the top 40 podcasts most listened to by Canadians. The rest? All American. #VoteStrategically #Podcasts #CdnPoli #StopPoilievre #Canada

You can’t be tough on crime if you’re not tough on guns.

From the White House press briefing today: “The president still maintains his position on Canada: The United States has been subsidizing Canada’s national defence, and he believes that Canadians would benefit greatly from becoming the 51st state.” So there it is. #CdnElxn2025 #cdnpoli

A #Burlington, Ont., committee cancelled a federal candidates meeting Monday citing safety concerns over a protest planned nearby. PPC candidate Michael Bator organized a protest outside the venue after he was excluded from full participation in the event. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #CdnPoli
