Hello and welcome to the show.

Hello and welcome to the DSR Daily.

I'm David Rothkoff, joined by Riley Fessler. How are you doing, Riley?

Not too bad. Not too bad. It's a Monday, so that's better than you can be expected. And Minna Stein, how are you, Minna?

For a Monday, I'm doing pretty good. Yeah, okay. Well, that's setting the bar lower. That's better.

That's the way to handle it. Riley, what's the first story you're kicking off the week with? The Canadian

election. On the final day of campaigning, Canadian leaders Mark Carney and Pierre Puellevra

addressed the nation somberly after a tragic attack killed 11 people at a Filipino

festival in Vancouver. The election, heavily influenced by Donald Trump's tariffs and rhetoric toward

Canada, remains closely contested with Carney's liberals holding a slight lead over

Guaelver's conservatives. Carney canceled some campaign events out of respect for the tragedy, while both leaders

expressed condolences to the Filipino community. As Canadians prepared to vote, polls show a tight

race that could determine whether the liberals retain power outright or require coalition support.

Yeah, and, you know, Donald Trump couldn't stay out of it. So this morning, Monday morning, he sent a true social post. Good luck to the great people of Canada. Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes and half, increase your military power for free to the highest level in the world,

have your car, steel, aluminum, lumber, energy, and all other businesses quadruple in size

with zero tariffs or taxes if Canada becomes the cherished 51st state of the United States of America.
