The leaders agreed to begin comprehensive negotiations about a new economic and security relationship immediately following the election. In the interim, the leaders agreed that conversations between the Minister of International Trade and Intergovernmental Affairs and President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada, Dominic LeBlanc, and the United States Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, will intensify to address immediate concerns.

We should never go back

I agree...but at some point, there will have to be normalization. Whatever that new normal ends up being.

I've liked what Carney has said outside of the campaign - in his meetings with European leaders, he's been talking about this new status quo we find ourselves in as a permanent change in the global order, rather than a four-year blip.

On the campaign trail? I can't say that he's been particularly inspiring so far.

I don't think so. It delves a little into "politics as sports," which I never appreciate, but Jason Markusoff isn't prone to carrying water for Smith or the UCP.

Based on your description, I don't think your father would have qualified for MAID in its current form - recipients must be able to provide informed consent immediately before receiving medical assistance in dying, with very narrow exceptions.

That seems like a little much - there's plenty of foreign media that produces worthwhile content.

Blacklisting certain outlets, on the other hand...

He's not Mr. Right...but he is Mr. Right Now.

Dominion Review is a Canadian publication providing novel and dissenting perspectives on issues that matter to our country.

Oh.

And look at that, the site's editor has been published in...

-The Epoch Times (19 times!)

-The Financial Post (4 times)

-The Vancouver Sun (twice)

-The Western Standard

And other publications that I'm sure are highly esteemed and worth our time.

I guess they think "respectful and firm" is their best shot at taking a stand without alienating their base.

I don't think it's going to play.
