The suspension of federal tax on gasoline will not make a damn bit of difference in everyday pricing. Not as long as the commodity price of gas continues to soar in 2026.

NDP MP Lori Idlout crossing floor to Liberals, party leader says | CBC News New Democratic Party MP Lori Idlout is crossing the floor to join the Liberals, NDP Leader Don Davies said Tuesday evening.

This brings the Liberals to 170 seats. 172 seats needed for a majority, with three by-elections scheduled. Could be one of the most cobbled-together majorities we've seen

You're not alone. Yesterday, the 43 millionth new bluesky user came aboard. We're more than one-we're many communities. The new CEO is a VC, which may answer the question, When/how will bluesky monetize? For now, the experience is good here. Express yourself. Get scolded by a liberal. Itsa thing.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.

Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.

(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)

This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

Carney’s to-do list
To help his country live up to the “Canada Strong” motto, Monocle has a few suggestions for the prime minister for 2026 and beyond.

1. It’s great to tour the world to restore relationships and stimulate trade but how do you host the world in Canada? Ottawa needs a proper scrub down and an improved sense of arrival.

2. Likewise, Canada needs a global media campaign to boost tourism. There are plenty of Europeans who don’t want to go to the US at the moment but are still keen to drive across from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Get marketing.

3. You’re only as good as your networks and connections. Young Canada needs to get out in the world. Create a programme that promotes work abroad. A bilateral deal (three-year work permits for 18-to-25-year-olds) with the EU would be a good place to start.

4. Join Eurovision. If Australia can do it, so can Canada.

5. Speaking of soft power, invest more in sport and winning medals. The past two Olympics weren’t Canada’s finest.

6. The PM should stick to his mission of ensuring that brand Canada sharpens up – better embassy locations, stronger graphics, best architecture and sharp tailoring for front-line staff. Appearance really does matter.

7. Take a cue from the Japanese and build rail links complete with dense, well-considered urban infrastructure at every stop. Make the new high-speed rail initiative a global benchmark.

8. Here’s a bold idea. Get rid of your US-brand limo and procure a Toyota Century (you’ll need a few) to cut a better look in Ottawa and beyond. Toyota Land Cruisers for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

9. Commission a new official residence of which the nation can be proud. 

10. The middle powers need a home and a brand. Build it, brand it. Post image Post image Post image

Ok so Monocle interviewed Mark Carney and then ended with a to-do list for him that includes: make Ottawa look nicer, improve rail transport, and join Eurovision

The US Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since ​the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now.

This spells continued disruption to Middle East oil exports and diverges from Trump’s words.
