How is this in any way equivalent?

I read the headline the same way you did at first, but this article is about the federal government’s deficit, not Canada Post.

Not sure why this quote didn’t make the headline…

“I bought Stelco because I could not afford anymore having Stelco flooding the market here in the United States to the detriment of my own company,” he said.

Fair enough - he definitely has a dramatic vibe, maybe I’ll check out some more of his stuff.

Has there been much chatter about groups/artists who are confirmed to have applied?

I would have liked to have seen LU KALA in the mix - she has good Eurovision energy.

Having watched the music videos in the article…they’re all good artists, but I’m not sure I’m seeing any Eurovision winners. There needs to be some arena-filling bombast. If anyone’s seen these artists live, maybe you’ll have some insights.

Based solely on these videos…Rêve could be a good choice. Josiane’s mix of French and English could be a fun way to show off the country, but again…Eurovision is about spectacle much of the time.

Denmark, too!

Well, this summit seems to be a big “step one,” and they seem to have a pretty aggressive timeline over the next year. I guess we’ll see.

Don’t threaten me with a good time…

The groundwork for their post-midterm excuses is being laid before our very eyes.

Also in the joint package, Ottawa is easing greenhouse gas regulations as U.S. tariffs pressure Canada’s automotive sector.

Canada’s emissions standards are now set to flatline until 2030 — maintaining 2026 levels for new light-duty vehicles through the 2029 model year. Annual increases are set to resume in the 2030 model year.

Ottawa initially proposed increasing emissions standards from 2026 through 2035 to reach its goal of 75 per cent EV sales by 2035.

This change comes after the Trump administration made similar changes on Monday.

I think one can reasonably assume that he consented to being identified, since the CBC regularly protects anonymity.

Why he consented, considering his concerns, is a valid question.

I agree - the new government in Quebec has an obvious stake in reopening the Constitution, and Ford’s the kind of guy who would jump on it. They meet the 50% of the population stipulation all by themselves, and between them and Alberta, they have 3 out of the 7 provinces required. It’s not implausible that they could find four more.

BUT, the current version of Ford might not be too excited to be seen climbing into bed with separatists.

Sure, they’re going to press on with a bunch of initiatives that are plainly unconstitutional, get smacked down by the courts after a lengthy battle, use it to fuel anti-federal sentiment, and try again later.

The wheel turns.

Seven dead as of current reporting, with an unknown number of injuries.

Let’s hope those numbers don’t grow too much.

Edit: Revised down to four (for now), which was a nice adjustment to see.

I don’t think the CBC can say “fraudulently” because fraud is a crime and he hasn’t been charged, let alone convicted.

“Allegedly” doesn’t work, because the facts aren’t in dispute.

But I agree, “erroneously” also seems wrong. They probably should have just left the adverb out of it.
