Business sentiment in Canada continues to improve and many firms consider the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic behind them, though the outlook remains challenging for high-contact services, a Bank of Canada survey showed on Monday. The survey, conducted before new restrictions came into effect earlier this month to tackle a third coronavirus wave, found sales were at or above pre-pandemic levels for 64% of businesses. "With uncertainty having receded and vaccination rollouts continuing, firms' indicators of future sales have strengthened again," the central bank said in its spring Business Outlook Survey.
Republican Sen. John Cornyn faced backlash Monday for bemoaning President Joe Biden’s “conventional” tweets and lack of cable news hits. “The president is not doing cable news interviews. Tweets from his account are limited and, when they come, unimaginably conventional. The public comments are largely scripted. Biden has opted for fewer sit down interviews with mainstream outlets and reporters,” Cornyn tweeted, adding, “Invites the question: is he really in charge?” While the Texas lawmaker was comparing the president to his predecessor, Donald Trump, without naming him, others quickly jumped in to draw sharper distinctions between the two and to criticize the senator. After all, Trump’s frequent and unique use of Twitter eventually got him banned from the platform altogether after his supporters rioted at the nation’s Capitol in January, leaving five dead, including a Capitol police officer.

Writer and political observer Molly Jong-Fast asked directly, “Senator Cornyn wonders, can a president really president if they’re not tweeting unhinged conspiracy theories?” Sarah Longwell, who publishes the anti-Trump Republican outlet The Bulwark, mused, “Making meandering calls into Fox and Friends and rage tweeting at all hours is how you demonstrate you’re truly running the country, per John Cornyn.” Others pointed out that while Cornyn seemed to long for the days of Trump’s unpredictable tweets shaping news cycles and American policy, he wasn’t always so enthusiastic about the whole situation back then. Cornyn declined to comment when asked last summer about a tweet from Trump that baselessly claimed an elderly protester pushed by police — and hospitalized for his injuries — was linked to anti-fascist groups.

Kevin James will portray New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton in a film for Netflix called “Home Team,” according to NBC Sports’ Peter King, who announced the news in his “Football Morning in America” column Monday. “Home Team” follows Payton in 2012 when the coach was suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goddell in the entire 2012 season related to the team’s role in the “Bountygate” scandal, in which the team was accused of paying out bounties or bonuses to players who successfully injured opposing team players.
