I said a year ago, when FIFA give Trump a World Cup trophy, that Canada needed to dump this event.
Of course, we didn’t and now Canadian tax dollars are going to support the Trump Show.
But we don‘t want to piss off the football fans, do we?

Only FIFA would give the World Cup to Donald Trump.
And then be shocked that fans don't want to go to a country where a Mom can get shot in the face and the VP will smear the dead woman.

Greenland’s PM today:
"One thing must be clear to everyone: Greenland does not want to be owned by the United States. Greenland does not want to be governed by the United States. Greenland does not want to be part of the United States," Nielsen said Tuesday.
Seems pretty clear to me…

I doubt we’ll “pivot” to China as much as their official media would like, but it’s all part of the plan to escape Washington’s clutches.

This is what really sticks in my craw around unification discourse. It inherently advances that claim to the superior moral value of American history and the American experiment, rather than acknowledging the moral value of Canada’s own historical journey and its underlying principles.
And it's taken as given that the US is in some sense a superior country -in moral value-. Not just in objective metrics like population or GDP, but that America's moral value is greater than Canada's, that Canada’s culture and political tradition can be extinguished without any real loss.

Britain plans to develop and supply Ukraine with Nightfall ballistic missiles, according to the Daily Mail.
The missiles are expected to carry 200-kg warheads and strike over 300 miles away.
UK has begun seeking contractors to deliver the first three missiles under a £9 million contract.

However, his stand on Iraq was the correct one and he spoke with stellar clarity once Trump started his annexation threats.

Somewhere, sometime soon, the US is going to discover that it isn’t omnipotent and that there are limits to hard power.
They have ongoing strikes against ISIS, a massive presence in the Caribbean, troops throughout East Asia, threats against NATO and Greenland to sustain, and *now* Iran?
