#1 Well, I think playing the national anthems at North American pro sports events are kind of silly. This isn't 1930 America, this is the 21st century where pro sports, especially baseball, ice hockey, and basketball have many foreign players. Leave the national anthems to international competitions at the country level, not professional sports.

#6 Trudeau agrees to border controls and Fentanyl interdiction. As with Mexico, tariff will be delayed 30 days:
