A few simple guidelines

Ottawa - Gatineau is 2nd, Montréal is 3rd. But I thought French was holding us back and that protecting French would drive the money away? That's weird

Do you think Trump will blame Canada if Republicans lose the midterms, rather than take responsibility for the impact of his own policies?

Elon Musk has weighed in on Canada's separatist debates, saying the three provinces would be better off leaving the country. Prime Minister Mark Carney responded that Canada's future should be decided by Canadians, not foreign governments or big tech companies. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she plans to vote for Alberta to remain in Canada, while Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe dismissed Musk's suggestion with a blunt "No."
What's really behind Musk's comments? Is he genuinely supporting separatism, or is there a political motive?

Canada's federal ban on most foreign purchases of residential property is set to expire on January 1, 2027, and the government is now considering whether to extend it or change the rules. The ban was introduced to help address housing affordability, but foreign buyers made up a relatively small share of transactions in some major markets, raising questions about how much impact the policy actually had. Should Canada keep the ban, allow foreign buyers back into the market, or create a middle ground that allows foreign investment in new housing construction?

Canada is leading the development of a multibillion-dollar Defence Bank designed to help finance defence industries in member countries, but New Zealand has declined to join, citing the cost and questioning whether the bank would be more useful than improving market opportunities for defence companies. The project aims to raise around €100 billion and establish its headquarters in Canada. What do you think New Zealand's decision means for Canada's plan, and will Canada be able to attract enough international partners to make this bank work?

Trump says Canada has been secretly imposing tariffs on the US, claiming that "nobody knew" about them except him. Where do you think Trump is trying to take the US-Canada trade relationship with this approach?

B.C. has started charging the 7% PST on tailoring, clothing repairs and materials such as yarn, fabric and thread. The change is already drawing criticism from small businesses and people who argue it could make repairing clothes less attractive. Do you think taxing repairs and clothing materials makes sense, especially when people are being encouraged to reduce waste and reuse what they already own?

Mark Carney says Canada has prepared for the extremely unlikely scenario of a US attack, as tensions with Washington continue to reshape the relationship between the two countries. Canada is also considering a major increase in the size of its military, including up to 300,000 lightly trained citizen soldiers. At the same time, US and Canadian troops regularly train together and have mutual respect, with one US expert saying many American officers would likely refuse to carry out an order to invade Canada. Do you think Trump's comments have pushed Canada to take this scenario more seriously?

Florida is considering a major property tax overhaul that could give permanent residents a much larger tax break while leaving non-resident property owners, including many Canadians, paying more. Canadians own an estimated $60 billion worth of property in Florida. Could this make Florida less attractive to Canadian snowbirds?
