Former but legendary CTV news anchor Lloyd Robertson has died at 92. I had the pleasure of working for CTV as their London Bureau reporter in 2000. Lloyd was a true newsman and gentleman. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

So Trump complains that Canada agrees to import some EV cars from China, then he does a deal with China to let TikTok continue to operate in U.S. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

americanprogress.org

The TikTok Deal Leaves Many Questions Unanswered

The TikTok deal encapsulates every abusive practice of the Trump administration—secrecy, unprecedented claims of executive power, and noncompliance with the law.

Trump’s unhinged and disgusting remarks about Reiner - and turning the narrative to himself - are really an indication (if any more are needed) that this guy is a narcissistic lunatic and the American people must find a way to get him out of the Presidency. It’s now beyond urgent for the whole world

Did Canada’s King discuss Trump’s threat to take over the king’s nation 🇨🇦? Just wondering. The silence from Buck House has been deafening more months. To ignore it - especially during a face to face meeting - is the highest form of whimper. Was the Canadian High Commissioner invited to the dinner?

I really think Robert is on to this. Scary but probably the real reasons behind deploying troops in major U.S. cities like LA and DC and taking over the latter with troops calling the shots over police. Just. A. Trial. Run.

The BBC didn't broadcast Kneecap at Glastonbury but they did broadcast Bob Vylan and his "Death, death to the IDF" chant. Oops BBC, better hope no one spreads their mistake.

With Australia’s Labor Party win, the “5 eyes” countries are continuing the shift away from US autocracy. All but NZ now have centrist or left of centre governments. Canada isn’t’ mincing any words - UK needs to be a bit more vocal. Staying quiet to appease Trump reminds me of Chamberlain cowardice

So Canadian election is over and Liberals win - good - but only a minority government (harder to pass legislation) which Trump will see an advantage. Even ultra importance of this only 66% voted. WTAF is WRONG with people when their country under threat & they don’t vote? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Why a minority Liberal government took so long to call | CBC News

The CBC Decision Desk took until Tuesday afternoon to predict the Liberals would form a minority government because Elections Canada needed extra time to count the record number of ballots cast.

NCI cuts aside just for a moment, these knock-on or domino firings that started at federal civil service are also being seen in private sector and quasi public sector like here. Eliminating the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of middle class w/o warning means recession.
