Or you boot someone else out of a job, force them out before they even secure a pension. Someone who won a massive majority of votes in his riding. You were soundly defeated by the very people who supported you for 20 years. You're a loser. #cdnpoli

So let me get this straight. trump puts tariffs on most of the world. The world retaliated. Then because he feels slighted and says the U.S. has been treated badly he throws a tantrum and adds more tariffs. But doesn’t understand or care that Americans are actually paying for the tariffs.

$25 million won't do much if provinces continue to dismantle their universities.
This might fly under the radar in the initial coverage of the Liberal platform, but seems relevant to the larger discussion about Canada's response to events in the United States.
The Liberals are attaching $25 million per year over the next four years to this promise.

The nationwide measles outbreak now stands at more than 800 cases, but you probably don’t know that since RFK Jr is keeping a tight lid on that news.
The orange areas in the below map show where the vaccination rate is under the 95% coverage target among kindergarteners. That’s a LOT of orange!
