Mark Carney Alberta MOU deadline was April 1st and it was missed. Rob Breakenridge says the frustration from the Business Council of Alberta this week is the same frustration building across the country: the prime minister's brand was built on moving faster and getting things done, and nobody can point to a clear example yet of that actually happening.

What does a primetime presidential address look like when the plan did not go the way it was supposed to? Trump described Iran as battered and blown to smithereens. Iran now controls the Strait of Hormuz. Oil is north of $100 a barrel. Diesel is way up. Amazon has added fuel surcharges to deliveries. Trump posted about Bruce Springsteen the morning after the speech. The midterms are next year and Rob Breakenridge says the current trajectory is a problem for Trump's party.

Beer in Canada is up 18 percent and the government is adding tax on top of it. Rob Breakenridge calls it a desperate revenue grab dressed up as nothing. It is the affordability crisis with a pour on top.
