- Canada’s sovereignty is explicitly being targeted by the failed state of America. We will need to continue to rip down inter-provincial trade barriers like our country depends on it. We will need to be unified in the fight to maintain Canada as a sovereign democracy, not pitting regions against each other or trying to shoulder a better outcome for one group over another. That’s not really Canadian.

- Pierre Poilievre’s polished daily performances continue to be, primarily, laments for the sorry state of the country, extended complaints about the 'lost Liberal decade,' simplistic policy promises and the occasional tangle with any real journalist who breaks through the daunting line of party enforcers that police every large rally.

- It’s easy to say things like a campaign should change its messaging or alter its tone, but to do this during an election campaign requires a lot of work and skill and money, since it means writing and cutting new ads then quickly getting them into the mix.

- Even if Trump is using tariffs to negotiate better deals with trading partners, that process could take up the rest of his presidency. After all, he has levied punitive tariffs against scores of countries. If these countries want to negotiate an exemption or a carveout, they will have to stand in a very long line to get to the president.
