In case you haven’t heard, there is a New Brunswick Conservative MP who is fighting his taxpayer funded pay raise in court. I chatted with @franco_nomics from @taxpayerDOTcom who explains why he has MP Mike Dawson’s back.

One Card. That’s it.
Starting July 2, Albertans can get a new driver’s licence or ID card that includes their healthcare number and proof of citizenship, all on one secure card at no additional cost.
No more flimsy paper cards. No more carrying multiple pieces of ID. Just a common-sense change that makes life easier.
The Carney Liberals now have the support of half of all Canadians, according to a new Postmedia-Leger poll.
It's the first time any governing party has hit that benchmark in popular support in more than two decades https://t.co/oP35rCypm5
NEW: $45 million worth of cocaine seized after an underground tunnel between Mexico and San Diego, CA was discovered under a Buy 4 Less store.
Investigators say they surveilled the store for months after noticing how little customer foot traffic it had.
Authorities found a nearly 2000-foot-long tunnel that was 55 feet deep and 4.5 feet high with electricity and ventilation.
2270 pounds of coke was seized from the store, and four people were arrested.
Gregorio Epifanio Hernandez Lopez, 29, Jose Jimenez, 32, Antonio Cortez, 18, and Brandon Escalante Sandoval, 26, were arrested.
They all face a maximum penalty of life in prison and a $10 million fine.
"They thought they saw the light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, what they saw were our lights and sirens," said U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon.
