We analyze the intelligence reports alleging 1,000 Iranian sleeper agents are active in Canada and ask why Ottawa was caught off guard.

Plus, we look at the stinging criticism from American media outlets regarding the "collapse" of the Canadian economy, and analyze Pierre Poilievre’s viral appearance on The Diary of a CEO. Is he successfully pivoting from opposition leader to global statesman? Finally, we dive into Poilievre’s concrete plan to slash gas taxes and bring immediate relief to Canadian families.
