A stalled trade deal with the United States gets reframed here as something other than a loss. Jamie Ellerton argues Canadians have been treating a shrinking relationship with the US as the new ceiling on what’s possible, when it might actually be the floor, a starting point for figuring out where the real ceiling could be instead.
That argument runs alongside a genuine mystery in Ottawa: reports that Canada pursued a special status with the EU that nobody, including the politicians debating it, can fully define yet. Lindsay Broadhead weighs in on whether it belongs in Parliament now or once actual details exist to argue over.
None of this stopped a trip to the Rogers Centre from becoming the best day of the season, three consecutive home runs for the first time since 2012, and a moment involving Vladimir Guerrero Jr. that had the entire stadium on its feet.
