Wolfers: "The most important thing for the Canadians to understand now is there is literally no such thing as a deal anymore ... the value of a piece of paper signed by this president is zero. Therefore, you should give up zero to get it."
The Trump administration’s deliberate destruction of the U.S.-Canada relationship will have lasting consequences that many Americans probably do not yet recognize amid the administration’s many other destructive actions.
Canadians feel profoundly betrayed by this president, and their trust in both the United States and the American people has understandably declined.
Like so many of this administration’s self-destructive acts, this rupture was entirely unnecessary and profoundly wrong. It does nothing to serve the United States or the American people.
Large amounts of wildfire smoke are moving from the northwestern US into western Canada this evening!
What should we do?
Try to stop it at the border? Should we tariff it? Should we sue?
I am horrified by the shooting that has killed two people at the Salsa on St. Clair Festival in Toronto.
My prayers are with the families grieving their loved ones, those who are in critical condition, and everyone who has been affected by this horrific event.
My thanks to the police officers and other first responders whose courage and fast action prevented further tragedy. Police have my full support as they work to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
Nothing but pride for @CANMNT_Official today.
An incredible run and a sign of what’s to come.
Thank you to our team, the fans, and everyone who made this World Cup showing our best yet.
Haberman: Canada is not an exception. What is an exception right now with Canada is that Canada's current leadership has shown a fair amount of pushback to Trump. Mark Carney is one of the few people who has really aggressively pushed back.
Canada’s partnership with Germany is thriving.
With new German investments in our LNG, solar, and critical minerals, we’re unlocking huge opportunities together — and we’re just getting started.
Today at the G7, @bundeskanzler and I focused on what’s next: https://t.co/Gu6i9DSs5X
David Eby: "I think that this is the moment when the country needs to pull together as a whole. There is no shortage of people who want to take it away from us. We have to fight for this country every day. And so that message the Prime Minister is, look, BC is all in on Canada."
"We will not defend Taiwan, and we are halting arms shipments to the island, since they themselves are attempting to instigate a war against China"—Trump's words from a recent interview can be interpreted in precisely this way.
The Ukraine scenario is repeating itself. In the event of a Chinese attack, Trump will likely go a step further and ask: "Taiwan, why did you start a war when you held absolutely no cards?"

APPLEBAUM: United States under this administration is no longer interested in leading democratic coalitions against Russia or anyone else.
President Trump has begun to align US foreign and domestic policies with values and practices of the autocratic world.
Democracy is no longer at center of United States foreign policy or American identity.
President and his administration attempted to strip funding from USAID or Radio Free Europe, American institutions that once promoted democracy around the world.
Trump verbally attacked Canada, European Union, America's Asian partners, placing inexplicably high tariffs on their goods.
Trump shouted at Ukrainian president in Oval Office, threatened to annex Greenland by force, claimed that EU was created to "screw US," and echoed Putin in calling NATO paper tiger.
Trump negotiated with Russia not to bring just peace to Ukraine or security to Europe, but also in order to help US businesses profit from lifting of Russian sanctions.
