Thank you President Trump for drawing our attention to a historic and foundational document in the Canada–U.S. economic relationship. I invite everyone, especially our American friends, to listen to President Reagan’s full speech and form their own opinion about what he was truly saying.

Every Canadian, regardless of their opinion of the Prime Minister or political affiliation, should feel deeply offended by President Trump's remarks. We might one day be grateful for this WAKE-UP CALL. For too long, we have been complacent in our relationships with the United States and the rest of the world. We need to unite and rise to this historic occasion to shape the future of Canada. #cdnpoli
No one can answer why we subsidize Canada to the tune of over $100,000,000 a year? Makes no sense! Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State. They would save massively on taxes and military protection. I think it is a great idea. 51st State!!!

If I were President Trump, I’d think twice before invading Canada. The last time the U.S. tried something like that— back in the War of 1812 —it didn’t exactly end well. Canada even burned down the White House. 🔥😅

I am disturbed by #RoeVsWade being overturned.
While I recognize there are strongly held beliefs on this issue, reproductive rights in Canada are non-negotiable.
I will remain focused on issues that unite Canadians, not divide us.

For months, Pierre Poilievre has supported protesters who threatened to overthrow a democratically elected gov. Now he’s attacking the legitimacy of the Bank of Canada. He is stoking the flames of populism. We cannot take this lightly. #cdnpoli

Jeremy Mackenzie, founder of Diagolon, just posted a picture to his Telegram of him shaking hands with Pierre Poilievre.
It’s unclear when the photo is from, but it looks like it’s from one of Poilievre’s campaign meet and greets.

Mr. Mulroney was one of the greatest prime ministers in Canadian history. He was an exceptional leader. A visionary. And a statesman whose influence had a significant impact on the international stage. I remember him as generous, passionate, and deeply attached to Canada.
Our country owes Prime Minister Mulroney a profound debt of gratitude.
My family and I offer our deepest condolences to his wife, Mila, his children, Caroline, Ben, Mark, and Nicolas, and their families.

Tearing down institutions for short-term political gain is not Conservative. It’s dangerous and short-sighted.

If the United States imposes tariffs on Canada, we will respond. Americans depend on us for vital resources like potash—essential to their agriculture. Tariffs on this sector would hurt American farmers and strain an interdependent and positive trade relationship.

We will review CBC’s mandate to keep it focused on things the private sector can’t deliver.
