That deadline, although Carney has qualified it as merely a framework toward the goal, kind of passed by with little fanfare. Some links of last month's stories to refresh your memory below:

What do you think is next? Are counter-tariff measures being prepared for Aug 1, more or less Trump's latest TACO milestone?

I've pulled together an article that brings together two very different thinkers talking about issues of relevance to the Prime Minister's reform of the civil service.

[AI Summary]

A Globe and Mail reporter, Carrie Tait, who is investigating political interference allegations at Alberta's health authority, has been targeted by an anonymous X account, The Brokedown, which posted surreptitious photographs of her and detailed her private movements. The account also threatened to expose her sources, and a podcaster, David Wallace, shared advance details of the photographs. The targeting included spoofed phone calls made to appear as if they came from Tait's number. The incidents have been condemned by The Globe's editor-in-chief, David Walmsley, who emphasized the importance of protecting legitimate newsgathering. The Brokedown account and Wallace have also criticized Alberta MLA Peter Guthrie, who has been vocal about the government's health care procurement practices. The women photographed with Tait have received threatening messages, and a lawyer representing them believes the actions are part of a campaign to intimidate and silence potential sources.

In this third article in a series I argue that populism is--at least in part--fueled by an inarticulate rage against Legalist forms of government.

A lot's been written about how dangerous Bill C-2 is. I looked at the legislation and I'm not convinced it is. But I do think it is evidence of a very important change in governance. This article explains the legislation and lays out what led me to think this.
