Justin Trudeau is cool to the idea of a "middle ground" settlement and will reject any scenario where Canada has to rescind all its counter-tariffs to get partial US tariff relief, a government official tells Bloomberg. Trudeau is set to speak to Trump later this morning.

#topoli #onpoli Just want to name a few things we take for granted in Ont election: no denialism or insane conspiracy theories, voting machines work, mostly clean campaign, amazing diversity in slates of all the parties; leaders will accept result & graciously acknowledge rivals. As it sd be. ✅✅

#cdnpoli Charlie Angus on the King’s indifference to the annex Canada talk: We have our figurehead King inviting Donald Trump to the UK so the UK cd cut a better deal while leaving Canada on its own. Why do we have this guy on our money if he thinks our nation isn’t worth standing up for?” (!)

Folks in Ontario get out to vote. Remember that Doug Ford made a big hoopla about cancelling a $100 million deal with Elon Musk. It was back on the table within hours. No wonder Elon is taunting us. Get out and vote.

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social …the Constitution, repeal the laws and somehow adopt those of the United States is absurd on its face. Nothing about this so-called debate is about becoming. It’s about the US taking us by force, so let’s say that instead of couching the question in euphemism. #cdnpoli

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social I understand the idea behind this call in, but I truly loath the persistent reliance on the passive construction. Canada won’t become a 51st state. There is an actor here, and a method, which can only military invasion. The notion that our govt will dissolve…1/2

Canadians across the country are rallying behind a petition to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship. He wasn't born in Canada. He represents profoundly anti-democratic values. In Canada citizens can present these petitions to Canada’s parliament. I support them. charlieangus.substack.com/p/musk-doesn...
