M. Grégoire"Canada has narrowed down its shopping list for its next fleet of submarines to those made by two suppliers, Germany’s Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems and South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean Co.

Zelenskyy ditches T-shirt, pleases Trump with formal attire to meeting
https://nationalpost.com/news/world/fabulous-zelenskyys-outfit-to-white-house-meeting-wows-trump?itm_source=world
The clothing choices are trivial compared to the issues of the War in #Ukraine. Still, it makes me think of the old quote, “How can a president not be an actor?” Pres. Zelenskyy's has chosen to wear "military-style garb" since the Russians invaded to send a signal, but different audiences require different signals.

Inside Poilievre's long journey back after his Alberta byelection
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/alberta-byelection-kicks-off-poilievres-long-journey-back?itm_source=canada
This is a balanced piece, discussing #PierrePoilievre's strengths and weaknesses, his likelihood of holding onto the leadership of the #CPC, changes in tone since the election, polling results, conflicting advice and the challenges of defeating PM #MarkCarney.

PQ byelection victory heralds the return of Quebec separatism
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/pq-byelection-victory-heralds-the-return-of-quebec-separatism?itm_source=np-comment
"Campaigning from door to door, Duhaime and the other candidates tried to tap in some voters’ fear of a third referendum on separation, as promised by Plamondon if the PQ forms the next government. In vain. To the contrary, there appears to be a surge of enthusiasm for independence, at least amongst young Quebecers."
