“Canada is retaliating for President Trump's terrorists on Canadian guns.”
The U.S. formerly participated in the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement, a free trade pact that
was reached during Trump's first term in office.
Christian Freeland is Canada's former finance minister. We help negotiate the deal and says at the time, both Trump and Canada agreed to protect blue-collar workers. "I do think we need to recalibrate global trade to protect blue-collar manufacturing jobs in high-wage countries.
The U.S. M.CA, the deal that governs Canada the U.S. trade, does that. It includes, and this was the first time a trade deal included a provision like this. It includes a provision that protects high-wage labor, particularly in the car sector." Former Canadian finance minister, Christian Freeland, a Trump-backed super-pack has begun spending money in the toss-up Texas U.S. Senate race, and PR-Steven Fell reports on the
pact's first spending of the general election.
“Trump's MAGA Inc. along with top Republican Party-aligned committees are sitting on massive”
piles of cash that they could spend to help shape the midterms, but over the summer the question shifted from where they would spend it to if they would spend at all.
Over the weekend, the super-pack disclosed its first spending $10 million in Texas.
That money is split between ad-supporting Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxon and opposing Democrat James Toleriko, who has largely had the airwaves to himself from much of the summer in the tightly-contested race. Speaking of power, in PR news, voters in New Hampshire are going to the polls today for the state's primary elections, candidates are running for state and federal offices.
Elections officials across the U.S. and millions of voters are waiting for court rulings on a plan by the U.S. Postal Service to restrict male-invoting for the midterm elections in November. And PR's Hansella Wong says a federal judge is blocking sections of that plan for now. The Trump administration has asked both the Supreme Court and the first U.S. Circuit Court
“of Appeals to clear the way for new requirements from the U.S. Postal Service for the”
President's attempt to limit male-invoting.
At issue is whether U.S. P.S. has the authority to refuse the deliver-male-balanced to voters and states where election officials do not turn over voter lists to the mailing agency and do not have certain bar codes in their ballot envelopes. We should note U.S. P.S. is a financial support of NPR. A federal judge extended a block on those requirements last week, after finding that U.S. P.S. has
no authority to impose them on states, and a whistleblower report claims the Postal Service's systems for enforcing those requirements have not been properly tested and could derail male-invoting for the midterm general election, which has already started in North Carolina.

Federal safety officials say they have recovered the flight data recorders from the Amazon cargo plane that crashed Sunday at Miami's airport. They say the jet ran off the runway after landing and crashed into two vehicles. Five people on the ground were killed, the pilot survived. Every three years, a test called the program for international student assessment or
piece-up is given. It tells us how 15-year-olds around the globe are doing in subjects such as science, math, and reading. And beer's Genaki Metha reports, the 20-25 results are now out. The idea behind PSA is to see how students nearing the end of their school career are
doing and applying their academics to real-world tasks. The good news for American students, they did better in science and reading than students in most other countries, though China in Singapore topped every subject. Compared with 2022, American students scores didn't change much other than a dip in reading skills.
Girls did better than boys in reading, but boys scored higher on computational problem-solving and math. And the performance gap between high-performing and low-performing American students was much bigger than in other countries. Starting with this latest report, PSA will now happen every four years instead of three,
Genaki Metha and Paranese. Jury selection starts today in New York for the federal racketeering trial against Chinese tech firm Huawei. The US accuses Huawei of stealing technology, plotting to steal US trade secrets and fraud. The Chinese government says the US is using economic bullying.
