Canadian industry sources told me they were told by government officials not to expect a deal by midterms. There has been an increase in communication since, and Carney described progress — but no deal yet. The PM now says both sides will aim to get there in the coming weeks.

Good conversation with President @realDonaldTrump on the future of Canada-U.S. trade. This builds on our recent constructive discussions on the outlines of a mutually beneficial trade deal that would create jobs for our workers, boost affordability for families, and fully respect Canada’s languages, culture, and sovereignty. Our teams will now be working in the coming weeks to deliver that outcome.

New from @Joe_Castaldo and me: Cohere has raised most of a $7B funding round, set to boost the AI firm's valuation to $35.7B. The Canadian federal government is putting in $1.6B for an equity stake. Other backers include $NVDA, $BCE, prior investors. theglobeandmail.com/business…
Ottawa buys $1.6-billion stake in Cohere as AI firm’s valuation soars to $35.7-billion

My first move as the new CEO of Cineplex is to officially ban Tommy Texter, Sammy Scroller, Suki Snapper, Susie Seat Kicker and Sally Soundtrack. I’m honestly not sure how they’ve been allowed to harass our customers for this long. They are vile, disgusting people.
