NEW: Don't call it World War III — yet. But Ukraine's strike on an Iranian ship shows how the two wars could merge into one dire conflict across Eurasia and the Middle East. Zelensky talks about common elements of both wars, and he met with Trump this week. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

In Elxn45, #CPC candidate Stephen Curran won 33.5% of the vote in this riding. But #LPC candidate Jonathan Wilkinson won 59.5%. Curran is back for a re-match, this time in a by-elxn vs Carney's former deputy chief of staff Braedan Caley. Based on latest polling: I have this seat as SAFE LIBERAL.
