Today's parties can't simply exist anymore - they need to bring fresh ideas and a clear, unique political identity to the Canadian public. Today's federal NDP needs to either embrace their historical roots fully or rebrand entirely to survive - above and beyond a new leader

[CANADALAND @CANADALAND]

Canadian media hit the snooze button on the final NDP leadership debate. How can the NDP save itself from fading into further obscurity?

@lukewsavage joins host James Nicholson to discuss.

A narrow and cynical view on AI use - these tools can be used to create flashy products, but there's no value to clients without human oversight and analysis. We need to ensure GR harnesses AI tools for improved workflows and efficiencies instead of loopholes avoiding real work

RIP entry level analysis jobs at GR firms and GR firm profits off of said entry level associates

[Shae McGlynn @shaebrannagh]

It's one thing to prompt AI to make a product for your clients/organization, but done in 30 mins is a 🚩These AI outputs still need to be reviewed and verified by a GR professional and ensure it has real substance and analysis, not just summaries.

[Stephen Taylor @stephen_taylor]

I used AI and dozens of subagents to read the Alberta budget docs and I produced an extensive data-rich website with
- analysis for 25 sectors of the economy
- guides for 26 different audiences
- 40 lobbyist stakeholder notes

Done in 30 minutes.

🇺🇸 U.S. tariffs on aluminum in North America put thousands of American manufacturing jobs at risk.

One of Prime Minister Trudeau’s last acts in office was to sign an Order in Council making some very meaningful changes to the way the banking industry applies non-sufficient fund (NSF) fees. The imminent changes include:

➡️ Capping NSF fees at 10$.

➡️ No NSF charges within 2 business days of eachother.

➡️ Require banks to alert clients when their account balances fall below zero.

➡️ Require banks to publicly disclose the amount of NSF fees charged, the number of clients impacted, and their total annual revenue from these fees.

Having seen firsthand how a client can get wrapped up in stacking NSF fees, I am happy to see this small but impactful change to our banking regulations.

With affordability being top of mind going into an imminent federal election, this may be the first of more discussions on changes to the finance industry and their relationship with consumers.

We love our country. We will not be dictated to – or bullied by – anyone.

This morning I outlined BC’s response to unjustified US tariffs.

We will always be the True North. Strong and Free.

The LCBO has halted the sale of all American alcohol. The LCBO is the world’s single largest purchaser of alcohol. A loss of $1 billion to American companies.

[Prime Minister of Canada @CanadianPM]

Prime Minister Trudeau met virtually with premiers to discuss the unjustified U.S. tariffs. The leaders stand united against this economic threat and emphasized Canada’s robust response designed to protect the economy and minimize impact on Canadians. https://t.co/5YVxq8lmN3

[Finance Canada @FinanceCanada]

The Government of Canada is announcing countermeasures in response to the unjustified U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods.

O Canada! This is OUR home and native land. Today all of us are patriots. 🇨🇦

Today we took action to respond to tariffs by deferring taxes so businesses can hang on to cash and keep people working.

We will always protect your jobs and we will always be the true north, strong and free.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

Today, I wrote to the governors, senators and congressmen and women from New York, Michigan and Minnesota putting them on notice that Ontario is prepared to add a 25 per cent surcharge to the electricity we export to their states if President Trump’s tariffs remain in place.

If we have to, we won’t hesitate to increase the charge or shut the electricity off completely.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada: their closest partner and ally — their closest friend.

Canadians are reasonable, but we will not back down from a fight.

Not when our country is at stake.

[Althia Raj @althiaraj]

Defiant Trudeau tells Americans and Canadians that the U.S. has launched a trade war with Canada and aligned itself with a murderous dictator. "Make it make sense," he says.
Canadians don’t want this, the PM says. He tells Americans: Your government has chosen to do this to you.

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

NEW: More than 3,600 products from 35 US states are being removed from LCBO shelves, the online and wholesale marketplace, the crown agency says.

This includes: Spirits, wine, cider, beer, ready-to-drink coolers/cocktails, and non-alcoholic products produced in the US

[Mackenzie Gray @Gray_Mackenzie]

PMJT starts off his presser saying “So today the US launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator.” #cdnpoli

This is a sad day for North America.

Free trade between the U.S. and Canada has brought prosperity, jobs and growth on both sides of the border for decades, now is being unjustifiably challenged.

Make no mistake, we will stand up for Canada, our workers, and our industries.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

I was pleased to sit down and meet with the Chambers of the Federation, with leaders from across the country. We discussed how we can work together to boost Canada’s long-term economic growth while breaking down interprovincial trade barriers.

[Andrew Furey @FureyAndrew]

Newfoundland and Labrador will stand strong with Team Canada. We will protect and support our industries in response to the U.S. President's illegal tariffs on products from our province and our country that Americans rely on.

[Tim Houston @TimHoustonNS]

Donald Trump is a short-sighted man who wields his power just for the sake of it, not having any consideration for the destructive impact of his decisions on both Canadians and Americans. It is impossible to properly describe the uncertainty and chaos that President Trump’s threat of tariffs and now actually imposing tariffs has caused for Canadians.

And now, as President Trump proceeds with his illegal 25 per cent tariffs, Nova Scotia will respond.

We will immediately limit access to provincial procurement for American businesses. They can no longer bid on provincial business. We are also actively seeking options to cancel existing contracts and reject outright bids until President Trump removes his unlawful tariffs.

We will double the cost of tolls at the Cobequid Pass for commercial vehicles from the United States, effective immediately.

And, we will direct the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation to once again remove all alcohol from the United States from their shelves, effective today. We know this was an effective response the first time and hurt American producers who rely on Canadian markets.

We will also take any step we can to support Nova Scotians through this incredibly difficult time.

As part of Budget 2025-26, we added a contingency fund to respond to U.S. tariffs. It is too early to determine exactly what specific funding is necessary, but we will communicate to Nova Scotians as we better understand the economic impacts and the federal government’s plans to support Nova Scotians.

We introduced legislation designed to break down barriers to interprovincial trade. We must be open for business in Canada. We hope all provinces and territories immediately endorse and pass corresponding legislation.

We are also working on a Trade Action Plan to help businesses engage in global trade, increase their global competitiveness and drive investment growth and have issued a call to action to develop our valuable natural resources.

I can tell you that we worked hard to avoid a repeat of Trump’s tax. We know tariffs are bad for people and businesses on both sides of the border.

Unfortunately, some people need to touch the hot stove to learn, and while we cannot control or predict their behaviour, we can control how we respond.

I want to thank Nova Scotians who have already responded with your wallet. You’re choosing to be Nova Scotia Loyal and support local and Canadian businesses. You’re choosing to travel in our beautiful province and country rather than south of the border. You’re cheering loudly and proudly for our Canadian teams and athletes.

These choices and actions are significant. It is important that we stand together, united and strong.

That’s why we will continue to work with the federal government as it designs and implements counter-tariffs.

We are a government of action, and I continue to stand with you. My focus is entirely on protecting the interest of hard-working Nova Scotians and their families—in these times of uncertainty, that is one constant you can continue to count on.
