Hot mic moment at G7 catches Carney, Trump talking about Chinese EVs

Hot mic moment at G7 catches Carney, Trump talking about Chinese EVs

Prime Minister Mark Carney may not have a bilateral meeting planned yet with U.S. President Donald Trump, but a hot microphone caught them talking about trade at the G7 leaders’ summit in Évian-les-Bains, France.

Carney can be seen on camera, leaning in to talk to Trump, who was sitting at the leaders’ table ahead of a working luncheon.

A microphone in the room faintly picks them up, apparently talking about Canada’s recent agreement with China to allow a small number of Chinese EVs into the Canadian market at a lower tariff rate.

The CBC is optimistic all our troubles are solved.

Musk to sue German broadcaster ZDF over ‘hunt for migrants’

Musk to sue German broadcaster ZDF over ‘hunt for migrants’

Elon Musk, the world’s first trillionaire, has announced legal action against German public broadcaster ZDF for a report that he said misrepresented his position.

The broadcaster had highlighted Musk’s role in encouraging anti-migrant protests in Northern Ireland that turned violent.

“Legal action is being taken against ZDF for their outrageous lies,” Musk said in a post on his social network X on Monday.

Not the first time German journalists have made up news to suit their narrative.

Gordie Howe bridge debacle is a mess of Carney’s own making

Gordie Howe bridge debacle is a mess of Carney’s own making

As the July 1 Canada-US-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) trade pact renewal deadline looms, Canada’s negotiating strategy continues to defy logic.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney “confirmed” that the $6.4 billion Gordie Howe bridge would be opening at the end of this week — at long last. I took that as a sign of warming relations., As recently as February, President Donald Trump insisted that American politicians negotiated an insufficient share of the toll revenue, despite the fact that the project was 100 per cent financed by Canadian taxpayers.

Iran deal presents political nightmare for Netanyahu

Iran deal presents political nightmare for Netanyahu

The US ceasefire agreement with Iran has presented Israel’s prime minister with a political nightmare, smashing the three cornerstones of Benjamin Netanyahu’s political career, and leaving him trapped in a new security dilemma.

How can the man who styled himself as the political whisperer of Washington, with real influence over American politicians, be sidelined quite so comprehensively and insulted so publicly by his key US ally?

How can the man who made taking on Iran the centre-piece of Israel’s security policy end the war with Iran’s regime arguably in a stronger position?

Failed politician Nate Erskine Smith desperate for new ways to show what a loser he is

Failed politician Nate Erskine Smith desperate for new ways to show what a loser he is

Outgoing Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith is considering running for Toronto city council, and has discussed the possibility with Mayor Olivia Chow.

Erskine-Smith has represented the federal riding of Beaches-East York since 2015, but is stepping down when Parliament rises this week. He announced his resignation in May after narrowly losing the nomination for the Ontario Liberals in an upcoming byelection in Scarborough Southwest, a result that dealt a blow to his plans to run for leader of the provincial party.

He’s determined to wring every last ounce of value from his Mohammed wardrobe.

Fears White House staff leaked top-secret meetings to New York Times

Fears White House staff leaked top-secret meetings to New York Times

Top-secret recordings of Donald Trump’s Situation Room meetings may have been leaked to two reporters from The New York Times (NYT), White House officials fear.

Excerpts of a new book by two of the newspaper’s top political reporters, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, include direct quotes from conversations in the highly secure room, according to Axios.

For decades, US presidents have used the Situation Room to deal with major crises facing the country. During Mr Trump’s second term, it has hosted critical talks on the war with Iran and the Epstein files.

Military police directed to stop accepting sexual offence complaints

OTTAWA — Starting today, military police will no longer accept Criminal Code sexual offence complaints, in anticipation of passage of the Liberal government’s military justice system reform bill.

Bill C-11 will strip the military of its jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute sexual offences involving Canadian Armed Forces members committed within the country, and hand those cases over to the civilian justice system.

The legislation follows on past recommendations from former Supreme Court justices Morris Fish and Louise Arbour, the current Governor General

Trump’s deal with Iran will make the world’s tyrants smile

Trump’s deal with Iran will make the world’s tyrants smile

We do not yet know the full terms of the Iran deal but we know how President Trump interprets it. His achievement, as he sees it, would have come as a surprise to many of the war’s backers four months ago.

“Many presidents have tried to make peace with Iran,” he said on Sunday night. “All have failed before me.”

When an Israeli airstrike killed the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on the war’s first day, peace with the regime did not seem to be the end goal. Now Trump has not only made peace with the regime, he seems to have made peace with the idea that the regime is here to stay.

OTTAWA – The federal government says it is cracking down on what it calls a “low volume” of asylum claims made by foreigners arriving in Newfoundland and Labrador from a nearby territory of France.

Saint Pierre and Miquelon, an archipelago 19 kilometres off the coast of Newfoundland, is served by frequent ferry service.

Federal advocate warns Canada’s housing affordability crisis could take 1,000 years to fix

Federal advocate warns Canada’s housing affordability crisis could take 1,000 years to fix

A federal housing watchdog is warning that Canada is building affordable housing so slowly it could take more than 1,000 years to eliminate homelessness and restore affordability for the country’s poorest residents.

In her annual report to Parliament, Federal Housing Advocate Marie-Josée Houle said Canada faces a shortfall of 4.4 million affordable homes and needs a dramatic increase in public, non-profit and co-operative housing construction to address the crisis.
