Hmm. Let’s see … how’s the rental market in Canada doing?

I’m interested as a dad whose kid is going into another year at Queen’s…

Canada 🇨🇦 has long undervalued any relationship with Mexico

We need a steady diplomatic focus over the next decade to (re)build that relationship

That was such poor form by Osaka not congratulating Mboko.

And now Mboko giving Osaka her flowers in her moment of victory.

The 18-year-year old all class and grace.

🇨🇦 MBOKO MAGIC IN MONTREAL

Canada’s Victoria Mboko defeats Naomi Osaka 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 to win the National Bank Open in Montreal.

The 18-year-old was fearless. Didn’t quit. And rode the wave of a raucous hometown crowd to a memorable title victory. Outstanding.

Spain shuns US F-35 jets as tensions grow with Washington Madrid to purchase European military aircraft in sign of deepening rift with Trump over defence and foreign policy

Spain decides not to buy US F-35 jets because of fears of US political reliability. There will be more of this on.ft.com/41tL4zH via @FT

It’s funny. Here in Calgary Centre it felt close-ish during campaign

And McLean went from winning by 11k votes to merely 3k, but a steady 50% isn’t really close

As in Confed, the LPC candidate wasn’t announced until deep in the campaign, not that earlier would make much difference

one assumes it’s likely that as the 🇺🇸 continues its retreat (as military, economy & culture remain important) that no one country will take the mantle of global leader

Not sure a reconfigured g7 minus 🇺🇸 can capture the economic opportunity or if its competing interests make that too hard

Watching the @torontobluejays.bsky.social put on another hitting clinic vs Rockies

Berrios accidentally plunked Beck, who with his cheesy ’stache & mullet looks like he runs rides at the state fair

“Do you wanna go faster?”

I’m not saying that Canada 🇨🇦 should entice the leading edge of American pharmaceutical & vaccine development from 🇺🇸 to 🇨🇦 at any cost

But I am saying explore what that cost might be

🇨🇦 own portion of patent etc to maintain control?

Honestly, where is the follow up?

Failure not to ask,

“Please help us understand Mr President, if a drug cost $1000/ dose and if it’s been reduced 1500%, what price per dose is it now?”

Could Abe have done any better operating independently? Dunno

An answer all of this might have been for Japan, & G7 plus EU, SK, Aussie etc to work together for a coordinated short-term response

And build a long-term strategy to adapt to the 🇺🇸 Great Retreat. Hope this part is happening
