Yay! In a major #CanadaStrong move, say bye to those pesky interprovincial trade barriers! The deals started back in April, and the latest greatest today is Ontario-BC. That's like, half of Canada in 2 provinces. www.ontario.ca/page/economi...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
