Uber drivers -after a passenger has waited 8 mins for you to arrive, is now sitting in your car -this is NOT the time to say, “Oh, I can’t take this ride. I want to go the other direction.” And there’s no way to rate/complain re: said driver, and there goes the rest of the night

CPC leader Pierre Poilievre in radio interview today: 'Most of your listeners already have coverage through their workplace. The pharmacare bill Trudeau has brought forward would ban that and require you to move over to a federal govt. plan.'
(The bill, C-64, does not do that.)

Through its incompetence, indecision, and instability, the Ford government has become a dangerous obstacle to housing prosperity in Ontario.

Doug Ford is hoping you don’t notice, but municipalities and homebuilders already have—and they’re beyond tired of it.

I’m not sure why this isn’t a bigger deal This is a HUGE success

Hi National Post!

I hope you have the day you deserve.

We have our first six jurors, and the foreperson, in Trump's historic criminal trial.

They have been sworn in.

A potential juror says she dated a lawyer for a while.

'It ended... fine,' she adds, with a slight pause, to fairly uproarious laughter in the overflow room.

Death. Death. Another death. Old. Young. Old. Young. Young. Killed in action while defending Ukraine. This is how my feed looks like. Somehow we are expected to keep it together. To be professional. To be grateful. Not too emotional. Not too pushy. Humble. And grateful again.

I have rarely seen a defendant facing trial alone with no family, at least one person, in the courtroom for him. It's a sad commentary for a former president with four grown children & a wife, all of whom seem to have deserted him in the moment.

ALERT: NY judge Juan Merchan rejects Trump's request to skip attending trial next Thursday to attend Supreme Court hearing on his 'presidential immunity' argument

Judge: 'Your client is a criminal defendant in New York. He is required to be here. He is not required to be in…

Full chorus!

🎶 Sleepy Don, what’s that bronzer you have on? Could it be a darker orange from days gone by? And did I hear them say, you were sleeping in court today, you can’t make yourself look sadder if you tri-ied.’🎶

The revolution will not be televised. Because they didn’t show up. Couple million Trump voters live within an hour of courthouse. Maybe 50 showed up.

Because this is a criminal case, Trump is required to be in court or he will be arrested. He’s already sleeping & drooling in court and this is day one.

Yes, Trump is going to crack in public, and I sm here for it.

The current pause in the proceedings is the transition to jury selection, and the potential jurors started going through security around 2:05 p.m., per pool reporter @ximena_bustillo

TRUMP IS BEING READ HIS PARKER WARNING:

MERCHAN: You have the right to be present during the trial and to assist your attorneys….do you understand?

TRUMP: “Yes.'

MERCHAN: If you disrupt the proceedings, you can be excluded from the courtroom and committed to jail based on…

I’m on the set of beautiful & tender indie short, finally getting to work with friends I’ve wanted to work with for more than 30 years? Can that be right? AND between takes I am reading tweets from Judge Merchan’s NYC courtroom. What a great day. What a wonderful blessed Monday.
