Trump administration looking into holding military parade in June
nationalpost.com/news/world/do

"Trump in his first term proposed having a grand military parade in the U.S. after watching one in France on Bastille Day in 2017. Trump said after watching the two-hour procession along the famed Champs-Elysees that he wanted a grander one in Washington on Pennsylvania Avenue."

"June 14 is also Trump’s 79th birthday."

"Canada’s electoral interference watchdog says the Chinese government is behind recent campaigns on China’s largest social media network to influence opinion of Liberal Leader Mark Carney."

Chinese government behind Carney posts on WeChat
nationalpost.com/news/canada/c

It's unlikely that Beijing has any special fondness for #MarkCarney, but the #CCP does think the Liberals are more sympathetic than the Conservatives.

#CBC unfairly attacks #Carney’s father | #NationalPost nationalpost.com/opinion/terry “the attempt to smear the elder Carney backfired. What Carney’s writings and the interview provided actually suggests is that Robert Carney was a good man, genuinely concerned with both the education of Indigenous children and the maintenance of their cultural pride. There are no allegations that the late Carney ever harmed an Indigenous student. As an educator and principal, he appears to have been beyond reproach”

"That one must defend supply management at all costs — but never propose expanding it into other agricultural sectors, weirdly — is part of the basic received-wisdom package uploaded into all federal politicians’ cerebral cortexes upon their arrival in Ottawa. Otherwise they will feel the wrath of the Terrifying Big Dairy Lobby."

Supply management is a system designed to make healthy food more expensive for Canadians.

America's 49th state shows support for Canada that Trump wants to make its 51st
nationalpost.com/news/canada/a

"The resolution passed in the [Alaskan] house and was set to be heard again before the senate, with possible amendments at a later date."

Canada can defeat the #TrumpTariffs on us because we are overwhelmingly united on opposition, and there is very little support in the US outside of the White House and the hard-core MAGA voters.

U.S. Senate vote to reverse Trump tariffs on Canada tests Republicans
nationalpost.com/news/donald-t

It's possible (and highly desirable for everyone really) that Congress will override Pres. Trump's tariffs on Canada. I predict that it won't happen until after the American public has suffered from the costs of the #TrumpTariffs.

It's a promising sign though that the Senate is already looking at a vote "to nullify the emergency declaration that underpins the tariffs on Canada."

The one crucial variable in this election everyone is ignoring
nationalpost.com/opinion/the-o

"Turnout" is the answer: maybe people who wouldn’t normally vote will come out in large enough numbers to swing the election to the Conservatives. Seems like grasping at straws to me, but it *is* possible.

Let me tell you, if the #CPC win despite being 5% behind the Liberals, people will say #JenniByrne is a genius. And they'll be right.

How effective was Canada’s #CarbonTax? Hard to say it seems.

"When Harper took power in 2006, the average Canadian personally emitted 23.2 t of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. When he left office in 2015, that was down to 20.8 t. In 2018, the last full year without a federal carbon price — the average Canadian was personally responsible for 20.2 t of carbon dioxide equivalent. By 2023, this had dropped to 17.3 t."

Let's hope the trend persists.

If you've been following commentary in the election, you've no doubt heard the advice that #PierrePoilievre needs to "pivot", re-focusing his campaign on opposition to Pres. Trump rather than on quality of life and economic growth. Here's a column making the counter-argument:

nationalpost.com/opinion/selle

The article points out that 38% is a good level of support for the #CPC, normally enough to win.

"[F]or older voters — especially Boomers and older Gen Xers — [Canada is broken] is like nails on a chalkboard. They hate it. Not because it’s wrong, but because it threatens a version of Canada they still believe in. A Canada that worked. A Canada that rewarded hard work, played fair, and gave them everything they have now."

"Some people keep saying he’s obviously a better choice as a prime minister than the Conservative leader, who spent years as a notorious and effective attack dog for a struggling Opposition. Meanwhile, it looks for all the world as if we’re auditioning for a guard-dog-in-chief, and I’m sitting here watching a frankly bloodless and uninspiring technocrat awkwardly pull on a Cane Corso costume, and I just keep thinking, “Funny old world, ain’t it?”"

Nathan Cullen: Tom Mulcair is wrong. The NDP belongs in Parliament

It's true, Parliament benefits from the presence of the #NDP, notwithstanding the fact I normally think their policies are mistaken. In fact, it was disappointing to read #TomMulcair say otherwise.
