Non partisan selection process is apparently dead, back to open patronage.

This sets back Senate reform significantly.

Yup.

Back to bribing people with senate seats. So gross.

I don't say it often, but Trudeau did it better.

Canada's merchandise trade surplus widened to a four-year high in May, rising for the fourth consecutive month, as exports to the United States top its highest level since February last year, data showed on Tuesday.

Canada clocked a trade surplus of $4.24 billion in May, ‌up 0.9 per cent from a revised $3.41 billion posted in the prior month, Statistics Canada said.

This was the third consecutive month of trade surplus for Canada and was led by a 1.5 per cent jump in exports to the U.S., its largest trading partner.

As U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs slammed some critical sectors in Canada, businesses have been trying to diversify away from the U.S., which usually bought almost three quarters of Canada's total exports.

But trade experts have said that while diversification is important, it might take time for many ⁠to unwind decades-old supply chain ⁠from the world's biggest market.

Still posting trade surpluses, which on a whole is good.

Bad news is that it's because of more trade with the USA.

But fun experiment I've been running since the entire "Stop funding traditional media" thing, I keep an eye on Juno News, Northern perspective, Rebel news, just to see if they post anything positive.

Like last months spike in GDP. Nope. Nada. Crikets. Same outlets that couldn't stop talking about recession.

I'll wait with baited breath if we hear anything about this.
