"America is not Canada, and Canada never ever will be part of America in any way." The words of the chiselled ice hockey player and former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney who is Canada's new Prime Minister. He's unafraid of Trump, has mocked his economic policy, and his expansionist pretensions. He's put the Liberal Party of Justin Trudeau in poll position to win the next general election against the Conservatives, and against all the odds. Will he become the pin up for centrists around the world looking for a muscular response to Trump?
Later, what's happening in the Reform party? Nigel Farage and Elon Musk's favourite Reform MP, Rupert Lowe, have fallen out badly. Who's lying? And what impact is it having on the party's fortunes?
And for LBC's Online Safety Day we ask More in Common's Luke Tryl why the public is so ahead of the politicians when it comes to tougher action in this digital age.
