BREAKING: LeBron James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option, Klutch Sports Group and Klutch CEO and Game Over show host Rich Paul tells ESPN.
I’m annoyed that @espn fired @Realrclark25, but I’m even more annoyed at the people cheering because they think he deserves it because he’s too political. It’s not that he’s too political it’s that his politics disagree with yours, and that is called freedom of speech.
Canadian government officials are not going to attend what was supposed to be a joint Canada-US event, the Gordie Howe Bridge ribbon cutting ceremony scheduled for Friday because of the new 50% tariffs saying it would be “inappropriate to proceed with a celebratory event between the two countries.”
Here’s a statement from the infrastructure ministers office #cdnpoli
Joy Behar: “We now have lost 17 service members in Iran and he has no plan. The gas is up to $4 a gallon. Now we’ve put a 50% tariff on Canada which is gonna increase inflation and prices are gonna go up. The perfect metaphor for his administration: the diarrhea outbreak”
Question: Can you imagine Canada imposing tariffs on the US if US wildfire smoke went north?
@CdnChamberofCom CEO Candace Laing: “Oh, I absolutely cannot. And in fact…when it goes the other way, we send resources, we send aid, we send help.“
Caller: “I have my daughter $20k for her wedding and she used only $10k now i want my $10k back”
Karen: We offered our daughter $20,000 for her wedding, matching what we gave our other daughter. But she and her fiancé only want to spend $6,000-$8,000 and use the rest for a house down payment. I’m embarrassed, 150 guests and a minimal budget feels cheap.
Dave: Is the $20,000 a gift?
Karen: Yes.
Dave: Then it’s her money. She can spend it or save it however she wants. You don’t get to dictate that.
Ken: And Karen, here’s the thing, be proud of her. Do you know how rare it is to see a young couple prioritize their financial future over a fancy party?
Karen: But what will people think?
Dave: Honestly? Half the guests, especially the men, are only there because they have to be. They don’t care about what to eat.
Eby: "The United States is a huge market that is impossible for Canada to replace. But at the end of the day, if they don't want Canadian goods, if they don't like Canada, there's not a lot we can do about that. So let's focus our energy on the places that are really excited to trade with us and take this generational opportunity so that our kids are not put in the same situation of being too dependent on the United States."
Cochrane: "The U.S. posture has largely been, 'Don't you dare stand up for yourself, we'll retaliate against your retaliation,' and they demand capitulation from Canada on a lot of issues ... So that's the dynamic they're dealing with. No credit for concessions to this point. No real respect for the historic partnership and the relationship. And now a countdown clock with a tariff deadline looming."
Eby: "No deal is better than a bad deal with the Americans. We should not, out of a sense of desperation or anxiety or what's going to come next, bow down to this president's attempt to put pressure on Canadians."

It's clear that the ban on American booze is working. U.S. booze stays off the shelves, until Canadians get a fair deal.
United as TEAM CANADA.🇨🇦
Thank you for your attention to this message!!!
Eby: "I feel sorry for Americans. If you can't be friends with Canada, then you almost certainly do not have a friend anywhere in the world. And that is a very lonely place to be."
