  4. Forbes reports social media activists on TikTok claimed credit for the modest crowd size. Users in the U.S., Canada, Scotland and Australia claimed they reserved tickets with no plans to attend. One video showing people how to reserve tickets for the parade, which were free, received more than a million views. “I got 10 tickets here in Australia. Whoops, my bad, won’t be there,” one person wrote. “I signed up as Barack Obama!” another commented. The 50501 Movement also encouraged supporters to reserve tickets and not attend. An Instagram post ahead of the parade had 140,000 likes as of Sunday morning. Tickets were not required to attend the parade, but were encouraged by America 250 organizers to get the best viewing spots. Teens similarly reserved tickets for Trump’s Juneteenth rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2020, leading to a half-empty stadium. Forbes notes that activist campaigns may be more fraught this year after TikTok nearly faced a ban until Trump chose not to enforce a law requiring its parent company, ByteDance, to sell to a non-Chinese company syracuseTrump parade attendance: Activists who reserved tickets c...How many people attended the military parade in Washington, D.C.? by a bunch of teenagers?

  18. "On the eve of Donald Trump’s $45+ million military birthday parade, approximately 60 veterans and military family members staged a sit-in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC to demand the military get off our city streets from LA to DC, and taxpayer money be directed towards real investments in housing, health care, and food — not political stunts or militarism," the group said in it's statement. The rally included remarks from Army, Air Force, Marine, and National Guard veterans, according to the organization. The group said Friday evening's actions were part of a planned sit-in on the U.S. Capitol steps. "We want a future where we invest in care for veterans, in health care, and in education, not where we spend $50 million on a parade,” said Brittany Ramos DeBarros, an Army combat veteran and Organizing Director of About Face: Veterans Against the War, in a statement to 7News. Many of those detained wore shirts that read "Veterans Against Fascism."

  20. fairly certain tariffs were never brought into this conversation until now. so when do you think we'll see grocery prices decrease? imo, we won't regardless of who's dumb ass is sitting in the oval office. once corporations and businesses get enough people to pay a higher price rarely do they ever bring them down. commodities are a different scenario, yet the deviation between the price of oil and the price at the pump has increased. 'your grocery prices will be going down' probably sounded good to some while on the campaign trail... kinda like, 'I'll end the war in Ukraine on day one'... also interesting...

  22. The number of Canadians returning from travel to the U.S. by land and air continues to decline, according to new data released by Statistics Canada. The data showed that return trips made by Canadians in May dropped for the fifth consecutive month compared with last year, with trips north by Americans also dropping. In May, 1.3 million Canadians made a return trip by car from the U.S., a drop of 38.1 per cent compared with the same month in 2024. Just a month earlier, there was a decline of 35.2 percent compared with April 2024, with 1.2 million return trips. Air travel also saw a decline in May, with Statistics Canada reporting Canadian return trips fell 24.2 percent compared with the same month in 2024. This marks an even steeper decline than in April, when the number of Canadians who returned by air dropped 19.9 percent compared with a year earlier. Fewer Americans also made their journey to their northern neighbour, with data showing 1,044,700 trips by automobile were made, an 8.4 per cent decline compared with last year. Air travel to Canada by Americans also fell slightly compared with 2024, dropping by 0.3 per cent. Travel has continued to drop since the beginning of the year amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and rhetoric of making Canada the “51st state,” as well as a weakened Canadian dollar. The drop has had a ripple effect on airlines, with some reducing the capacity of their flights to the U.S. to respond to lower demand. In March, Air Canada reduced flights by 10 per cent to Florida, Las Vegas and Arizona, and WestJet, Flair Airlines and Air Transat made similar moves.
