    Canada’s foreign minister Joly this morning at G7 presser: “What I said to the secretary (Rubio) is Canada's sovereignty is not up to debate. Period. There's no argument. There's no conversation about it. There's no need to talk about it. You're here. You respect us.“

    So, I spent a little time diving into the ownership of the underlying websites promoting these glaringly fake tweets on Canadians' timelines. Guess where they're registered?

    SCOOP: Canada is in advanced talks to participate in the new EU military industry project, highlighting how traditional US allies are teaming up to Trump-proof their military production. The budding deal would see Canada get EU contracts to build in Canadian factories.

    Carney asked about being an observant Catholic, what is his view on abortion. Answer: "I absolutely, unreservedly support a woman's right to choose. I will defend it as the Liberal Party has defended it, proudly and consistently." Says his faith is private.

    While we wait for Trudeau to speak, looking at my inbox, Canadian TV and social media, Canadians are ANGRY.

    Great Aussie school: the radar Canada bought from Aus was meant to go to the U.S. first. but Carney snagged the deal while WH dragged its feet Australia's 'biggest defence export' was meant to go to the US first, but Canada snuck past Donald Trump

    A gut punch to those of us who have worn the press jacket in much easier circumstances and won’t have to be buried with it. Stop killing journalists.

    Canada PM Carney summarizes the mood: "The American administration should eventually change course, but I don't want to give false hope. The President believes that what he is doing is best for the American economy. >>

    If you're seeing those obviously fake political ads on your TL, please send me a screenshot or link here. I'll keep researching registration records to try and work out who's behind them. For now that four different ones I've seen in my own TL are all by Russian-owned URLs.

    This correspondent is growing quite weary of comparisons to uprisings in the developing world, which are often driven by desperate, brave demands *for* free & fair elections.

    We put the Reagan address and the Ontario ad side by side. The president may keep saying that the commercial “AI” or “cheating” but it simply was not. On the contrary, the audio in the ad faithfully repeats Reagan’s words. Gift link —>

    Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

    Readers added context
    Ronald Reagan's statements praising free trade, as reported in a commercial broadcast in Ontario, are not generated by artificial intelligence, as can be easily verified from the audio transcript provided by a reliable source: reaganlibrary.gov/archives/speec… and from the full recording of the address: youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc
    President Ronald Reagan delivered a radio address from Camp David in 1987 and warned against protectionism.
    Trump Called a Canadian Ad Fake. It Faithfully Reproduces Reagan’s Words. (Gift Article)

    When I moved to Toronto in August, in my neighborhood, in meetings & social gatherings, I kept hearing about Ontario Place & the Ontario govt contract w a European company to build a spa/water park. It felt like something that mattered to people so I decided to look into it
