To The Point: Highlights from the Mackinac Policy Conference
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (WOOD) — The annual Detroit Regional Chamber's annual Mackinac Policy Conference drew decision-makers, business leaders and stakeholders to Mackinac Island. This year, there were two major themes. The first was trade and tariffs. Relations with Canada, a key trading partner of the nation and Michigan, have been strained recently. U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra told To The Point he believes that tension will ease. 'The mandate from the president is to deliver more prosperity to the American people. The mandate for Prime Minister (Mark) Carney is to do the same thing — deliver more prosperity to the Canadian people. And as they're both successful, again, imagine what will happen to North America. More prosperity for America. I think what's damaging us right now is the uncertainty. I mean, you got personal relationships across the border,' Hoekstra said. The other topic on everyone's minds at the conference was the federal spending bill dubbed the 'Big Beautiful Bill.' The bill has made it through the U.S. House of Representatives and now goes to the U.S. Senate. Above on this episode of 'To The Point,' see comment on the bill from U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Zeeland, and U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Shashi Tharoor vs Congress over Op Sindoor: Is the grand old party set to lose another asset?
The top focus of this episode of 'To The Point' is on the growing tensions within the Congress party over Shashi Tharoor's praise for PM Modi and Operation Sindoor. Senior Congress leaders like Jairam Ramesh and Pawan Khera have openly criticised Tharoor for praising Prime Minister Modi's actions, causing a rift within the party. Tharoor's statement that Operation Sindoor was necessary to avenge terrorists who 'wiped the sindoor off the foreheads of 26 women' has upset Congress sources, who believe he is providing 'cover fire' to the BJP government. Additionally, the show also discusses recent political developments in Tamil Nadu, where actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan claimed Kannada was born out of Tamil, sparking controversy. Also, speculation surrounds potential alliances involving actor Vijay's newly formed party TVK, with the AIADMK-BJP alliance showing interest ahead of the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly elections.

The top focus of this episode of To The Point is on the political war between the government and the Opposition over Operation Sindoor. Although the government and opposition are united globally on Operation Sindoor, but they are divided domestically. As PM Modi goes on touring different states hailing Operation Sindoor, opposition parties allege he is indulging in theatrics.
