It seems a pretty important set of meetings, considering who is attending and their imbricated relations with current world events. I can highly recommend Kyrgyzstan -- it feels safe, people are hospitable and gracious, landscape is dramatic, culture equally so.

RIGHT?!? So refreshing! The Q&A after @mark-carney.bsky.social's press conference is a brilliant lesson in leadership, macro- and microeconomic knowledge, steadfastness, and diplomacy. (We dodged a big bullet when Canadians eschewed PP and his MAG-ish party.) Best wartime PM ever.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.
