NEW: The Mark Carney government has confirmed it is spending $2.6 billion on an American missile system that the U.S. has used extensively in its war of aggression against Iran.

The deal signals Canada’s continued military integration with the U.S. despite the Trump regime’s ongoing hostility towards Canada and its wars of aggression around the world. https://t.co/Z2Y5Kvemxj

NEW: Rabba, a Palestinian-owned convenience store chain in the Greater Toronto Area, is selling Israeli produce.

I was pretty shocked when I realized that potential U.S. interference in the Alberta separatist movement has only been mentioned in the House of Commons *once.*

From Liberals and Conservatives? Not a single peep....

[Alex Cosh @AlexCosh_]

NEW: Canadian MPs have barely mentioned reports that Trump regime officials met with Alberta separatists, @emmapaling finds.

[Alex Cosh @AlexCosh_]

The Maple has been barred from covering this arms fair and despite multiple follow ups the organizers have refused to provide an explanation.

Are they afraid someone might do journalism?

[Davide Mastracci @DavideMastracci]

NEW: I ranked Canada’s provinces based on their disclosure-report systems, which I’ve become familiar with after years of publishing databases on elected officials who are landlords.

Spoiler alert: some are inexplicably awful.

@emmapaling has the story. https://t.co/pEnIdCyS7x
