My naive wish is that even one Canadian journalist, one politician, one security analyst, would address the implications of Canada choosing military integration with an authoritarian power that no longer respects the rule of law or international law.
Looks like that’s not going to happen today.

“Carney’s decision to work with Donald Trump on an advanced missile shield ... will set the stage for deepening military co-operation between the two countries.”

How much more directly can it be said? This is deeper integration. Where you buy your guns doesn’t matter if you’re still on Team USA.

I never want to see another movie or tv program in which actors are smoking. Same goes for vaping. From now on, I turn them off - I will not allow smoking as an activity in my house and certainly not as part of so called entertainment. They never show masking, they’re not gonna show smoking…!

Where is the “bit” used to check tread wear on a tire? You know, like the moose’s nose on a Canadian quarter…!

All those skilled Canadian aviation technologists the Avro Arrow program developed, pushed to the US to help create the NASA space program and develop programs that lead to the F-35…! Total lack of foresight to think that Canada could ever be a leader in aviation.

And can we please be honest here? We're not talking about massive economic benefits for all Canadians. We're talking about huge profits for shareholders and corporate executives and environmental costs borne by the public.

The great derangement syndrome. As the world blows past the 1.5 degree red line Trump and Carney talk about reviving Keystone XL.
It won't lower tariffs on wood, furniture, steel, auto.
But it will be a massive carbon bomb to a struggling planet.
My latest.
