As far as political communications go, this State of the Union is a rambling mess. Just as expected.

President Donald J Trump is the world's greatest troll. The likes of which we have never seen.

President Donald Trump said he will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, to US men's hockey Olympic gold medalist Connor Hellebuyck. cnn.it/4aOVzBH

When the children are in charge.

The tribute the American hockey players are showing to the Gaudreau family is a gold medal in and of itself. Congratulations! Canada was better in all respects except in net, and that proved decisive. Thank you for an entertaining hockey game!

Trump loses at the US Supreme Court, so he punishes the world with an extra tariff of 10%. Art of the Deal… never admit that you’re losing… start from a position of unassailable strength.

Spicy Wall Street Journal editorial…

It may be an unpopular opinion, but MPs have long held the privilege of being able to freely move throughout Parliament and that freedom ought to be vigorously defended, including when one decides to sit on the other side (even when we don’t like the outcome of a floor crossing). It is tied in with the privilege of having an unfettered right to persons, papers, and things.

Pierre Poilievre just gave the speech of a life time. Funny. Serious. Principled. Touching. It has all the feels! Bravo!!

How did the US jobs situation perform in 2025 with Trump’s tariffs? Worst non recession year for jobs in decades! In terms of labour market, Biden’s last year > Trump’s first term back. Yikes!

@YaroslavB Keeping writing, Yaro. It’s your healing power. This was beautifully done. Thinking of you and the girls… 🙏🪽

In loving memory of my late wife, Tara Baran. May she repose in peace and help us to find our own. ☦️🙏🏼 hilltimes.com/story/2026/01/…

My goodness. Friends, be on the lookout for Tara. Praying for a safe return.

I am trying to figure out Trump’s tariff on Santa. Definitely a one way trade relationship with the North Pole. The US market is flooded by free North Pole goods made in a place with few labor laws and sweat shop conditions.

CBSA officers encountered a traveller from the North Pole carrying multiple bags of concealed goods and travelling alongside nine caribou. He was cleared for entry after submitting his declaration : “Merry Christmas, Canada!”

This map is mind blowing. For such a big country, there’s such a small part of it that is densely populated.

The sticker shock on FIFA World Cup tickets is real, but should we really be that shocked? An event that happens every 4 years with interest from billions of people is not going to be under $100.

The global tolerance of American international unilateralism is waning fast.

Trumps failed economic, anti-Reagan policies are finally starting to bite the American consumer.
