"The government's going to bear that risk through all of this -- and then the private sector will come in and say, 'Well, now since you guys have borne all those bruises...'" Scott Reid on the private sector shying away from risk in the Alberta pipeline deal.

Shachi Kurl tears into Pierre Poilievre: "This is the beginning of the end. It's not a matter of if, but when. At some point, Conservative Universe is going to take a long look at this leader and say, 'Is this the guy to take us into the next federal election?'"

CTV News ran a segment debunking World Cup AI slop -- including that viral video of Erling Haaland "scared by his own reflection while eating"

Anand: "The Donbas, this is Ukrainian territory. Crimea, this is Ukrainian territory. We must never forget that ... Ukraine is going to win this war."

Anand: "Those original attacks [by Israel and the US] looked to be a prima facie violation of international law. But we're in the here and now right now, Evan, and what we have to make sure is that peace is maintained and the Strait of Hormuz is open and freely navigable."

Haberman: If you want to look at a physical, tangible distinction between term two and term one, look around the Oval Office, look at all of the gold, look at how he has covered every single square inch with something, how focused he is on gilding it and how focused he is on leaving his own mark.

Swan: [Donald Trump] is playing now for history. He wants to be a sort of one-word figure of history in the way that we think of Napoleon. He was almost ecstatic about being in his company.

Haberman: Canada is not an exception. What is an exception right now with Canada is that Canada's current leadership has shown a fair amount of pushback to Trump. Mark Carney is one of the few people who has really aggressively pushed back.

Haberman: Many of these things with Trump start out as trolls and then they take on a life of their own. His team was, in fact, looking at whether Canadians would be interested in becoming absorbed by the U.S. His team made a fair amount of overt and less overt efforts into taking over Greenland.

Haberman: When Trump looks at a map of the world, he sees a sphere of influence. He sees the hemisphere, the U.S., he sees Canada, he sees Central America, he sees Greenland. And he looks at it, frankly, from the perspective of a conqueror. He sees land that he thinks should belong to his country.

Haberman: This version of Trump, this presidency is pretty close to unrecognizable from term one. He is operating on pure gut and with a very small group of advisors who want to see him succeed and who prize secrecy above all else.
