🗣 Roy Jones Jr. called Floyd Mayweather “low class” for posting clips of him getting knocked out, after Jones said a prime Sugar Ray Leonard would beat Floyd and criticized him for not naming Muhammad Ali as the GOAT. Jones challenged Mayweather to fight, accusing him of cherry-picking opponents and never facing a prime top black fighter on his level. He pointed to Canelo being young, Pacquiao coming off a KO loss, and no fight with Terence Crawford.

“In my humble opinion, it’s almost safe to say that Pacquiao had a better career than Mayweather had. He didn’t make the money Mayweather made, but he fought the fights that were supposed to be fought, when it was time to fight them. He didn’t wait around.” Jones also recalled Mayweather once saying, “I chose currency over legacy,” adding that’s why he can’t be considered the GOAT.

Prime Minister Mark Carney released a statement just past midnight on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to increase a tariff on Canadian goods to 35 per cent.

“While the Canadian government is disappointed by this action, we remain committed to [the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement], which is the world’s second-largest free trade agreement by trading volume,” the statement read. 

“The U.S. application of CUSMA means that the U.S. average tariff rate on Canadian goods remains one of its lowest for all of its trading partners. Other sectors of our economy — including lumber, steel, aluminum and automobiles — are, however, heavily impacted by U.S. duties and tariffs.” 

Border security improvements

Carney’s statement also outlined all the work Canada has been doing to crack down on fentanyl and increase border security.

“Canada accounts for only one per cent of U.S. fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce these volumes,” he said. 

“Canada’s government is making historic investments in border security to arrest drug traffickers, take down transnational gangs and end migrant smuggling.”

Negotiations ongoing

Trump told NBC News Thursday evening that he was open to further discussions with Canada, adding that he may even speak with Carney later in the night.

Carney’s office would not confirm that a call was placed to the White House, and told CBC News it is not confirming any details about the ongoing negotiations.

In a separate executive order on Thursday, Trump hit dozens of countries around the world with new across-the-board tariff rates ranging from 15 to 41 per cent.

After speaking with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Trump gave Mexico a 90-day extension of its current tariff regime, despite having previously threatened to raise the rate effective Friday.  

Tariffs remain ‘unjustified,’ says Poilievre

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre took to social media Thursday evening, calling the tariffs “unjustified” and saying his party continues to hold out hope for a deal to end all tariffs. 

“That means zero tariffs on our steel, aluminum, softwood, autos, energy, agriculture and everything else,” he wrote on the social media platform X.

Conservatives continue to hold out hope for a deal to end all U.S. tariffs on Canada. That means zero tariffs on our steel, aluminum, softwood, autos, energy, agriculture and everything else. That is the deal Canada had before and the Prime Minister should accept nothing short of that. We must stand our ground and put Canada first. Conservatives continue to stand ready to work with all parties to end these unjustified U.S. tariffs. We must also take back control of our economic future by breaking our dependence on the U.S. We call on the Liberals to repeal anti-development laws, and cut taxes on work, energy, investment and home building to make our economy strong, self-reliant and sovereign.

A Breakthrough in Alzheimer’s Treatment,New Vaccine Targets the Root Cause, Not Just Symptoms

Scientists at the University of New Mexico have developed a revolutionary vaccine that could change the way we fight Alzheimer’s disease. Unlike traditional treatments that only manage memory loss symptoms, this new vaccine targets the toxic tau proteins—the main culprits that damage brain cells from within.

Animal trials have shown remarkable results: genetically modified mice that received the vaccine had significantly reduced tau buildup, with halted brain cell damage. These results suggest the vaccine could prevent or even stop Alzheimer’s progression.
