Polished Rice, a vodka company Kimberly Guilfoyle started last year, planned to launch at a "global VIP event" in Greece this summer -- the day of Guilfoyle's July 4 celebration in Athens. The plan was scuttled when the bottles allegedly arrived broken.

* We asked PM Carney if he'd ever considered there was a chance of US military action against Canada. After a long pause, told us he'd considered this an "extreme tail risk." "That's risk management. That's not a base case, but it would be irresponsible not to," he said.

ALT “The New York Times will not publish or distribute any images taken as part of the White House still photography pool today, in conjunction with the other members of that pool and in a show of support for the news organizations being unfairly targeted by the president’s barring of journalists from the White House. We remain committed to covering the president’s travel to New York City today. Americans deserve a free and independent media covering their government without intimidation, as well as comprehensive coverage of newsworthy events.” — Charlie Stadtlander, a spokesperson for The New York Times

NEW: The presidential TV pool has been suspended as networks react to the White House's ongoing ban of CNN.
That means, for now, that no major TV network will provide coverage of Trump's events, including today's appearances at the WH and his trip to the United Nations.

Smart thoughts from Alberto here, and a reminder to look past the label and into the substance, which is ambitious but as yet undefined.
I see a lot of confusion about the EU–Canada relationship:
1. “Associate membership” is not a thing in EU law but
2. It can and should go beyond CETA.
3. It can hardly go beyond EEA-level integration.
4. The likely landing zone is somewhere around the EU–Switzerland model.
But the significance may lie elsewhere:
this modest new status could make the EU an institutional hub around which other democracies organise strategic autonomy, without joining the Union.
That is more consequential than “Europe + Canada against the US” and may unleash new relations with Uk and candidate countries -#canada
