According to a @newyorktimes report, there's not really much evidence of the reported decline in international visitors to the U.S. due to the Trump administration — visits from some places including the Republic of Ireland and Argentina have even gone up. But there's one exception: Canada, where tariffs and threats to the country's sovereignty have upturned everything from shopping habits to politics and, of course, travel plans. Ticket sales for summer travel are down 21 percent on last year; car crossings at the land border dropped more than 40% in April 2025 vs. the same period in 2024. If you're Canadian, or if you're from elsewhere but would like to come and spend your money up north, @cbcnews's The Current has compiled this list of destinations, from Tofino, B.C., to Basin Head Provincial Park, P.E.I.

@MalcolmNance The removal of ALL #Kentucky bourbon and #Tennessee whiskey from the shelves of ALL Liquor Control Board of Ontario stores has bourbon exporters in Kentucky crying in their beer chasers. They are also big #GOP donors and have certainly called #RandPaul ‘onto the carpet’ over the #tariffs - aka #TrumpTaxes.

Note: LCBO stores are the only places you can buy wine and whiskey in #Ontario. It is the single largest purchaser of wine and whiskey in the WORLD.

Hi Brad

Congratulations are in order, as we find ourselves once again with you as the MP for Saskatoon West. Today I'm serving a reminder that your job in Parliament will be to represent and further the interests of the people in this riding, not those of your party leader. For years Poilievre campaigned on grievance politics meant to stoke division, fashioning himself off of Trump and the MAGA movement in the states. As a country we soundly rejected that behavior. You now have the opportunity to try a new tack and build your own political identity rather than acting as an empty megaphone for his rhetoric. Perhaps you can even be part of the solution finding and elevating a new party leader with a more humanist outlook. Meanwhile, you're going to be working across party lines with a host of Saskatchewan NDP MLAs who represent these communities. Familiarize yourself with them.

Saskatoon is a diverse and vibrant city, full of people of all creeds, colors, backgrounds, and gender identities. There will be no tolerance for Poilievre styled attacks on the unhoused, those struggling with mental health and addictions, our queer community or newcomers to Canada. These are the underserved population that need our help the most, and our tax dollars are paying you to advocate for them. Here's what we want to see from you in session:

Housing

During an all candidates forum at Camponi Housing, the Liberal candidate Chad Eggerman extolled the virtues of Finland's approach to Housing First where finding safe spaces for unhoused people is the first priority. The NDP Candidate Rachel Loewen Walker added that building homes using the accelerator fund must be done in such a way that prioritizes affordability, and keeping them out of market so that they aren't then immediately snatched up by corporate landlords. We need rent control, and wrap around supports for the unhoused so that they have access to the resources they need to navigate our systems. We can all claim that we don't criminalize homelessness, but we do need to see things like drug use, petty theft, and encampments as signals that these people were failed by the government, rather than treat them like criminals and punish them further. It costs much less to house people than it does to jail them.

Provincially, the Sask Party's cabinet doesn't include a minister whose portfolio covers these issues. Your stakeholders will instead be Mayor Cynthia Block, and Saskatoon Westview MLA April ChiefCalf; Shadow Minister of Housing

Healthcare

A major pain point during the Provincial Campaign, our health care system is under stress and the Sask Party is failing to address the needs of our people. Following Alberta's lead, the suspected plan is that after enough mismanagement, privatization begins to look like the alternative. We don't want that, because we have people who won't be able to afford it and a two-tiered health care system is not in the spirit of Canada at all. Ideally we'd see things like mental health and dental care rolled into universal health care. Realistically, the fight is to simply get the system back to working and prevent our provincial governments from ruining it. From parliament, that means making sure we get the funding we need, making sure it's spent responsibly, and holding premiers accountable for squandering those resources.

For a dialog on what's needed, your contacts are Battlefords MLA Jeremy Cockrill; Minister of Health, mirrored by Saskatoon Fairview MLA Vicki Mowat

Human Rights

Here is where the CPC really needs to button up and repair the damage done by Poilievre's MAGA styled campaign. Our indigenous, immigrant, and queer communities have each been attacked early and often by far right rhetoric. Casting them as outsiders and blaming them for societal issues is textbook fascism and we will not stand for it. Since your job is to represent us - all of us - you're going to need to make it clear that you won't stand for it either. To repair the damage done by this campaign you're going to need to take time to get to know these people, learn what they need, and advocate for them on the floor. Bills that harm these populations need to be condemned and struck down immediately.

The Sask Party cabinet has no portfolio for this. I'd recommend reaching out instead to Regina North MLA Jacqueline Roy, Shadow Minister of Human Rights.

Moving forward, you'll likely see my name on the occasional petition from groups like LeadNow. Take them as direction, rather than invitation to debate. I'd rather you spend your energy working on our country than crafting individualized responses. Once again, congratulations on holding your seat. We're expecting a much more productive government without Poilievre.

Like an empty pissbucket waiting to be filled, Keir Starmer sits in his chair at No 10, watching the Canadian Liberals come back from the dead to win the election on a platform of resistance to Trump.

But will he do any of that? Or will he just sit there, as the pissbucket, waiting to be told what to do?
