Free Countries want nothing to do with the USA now.

Same opinion as Lutnik's, Trump will destroy the economy on a malignant narcissist whim and Americans won't do anything.

Thank you, Mr. PM. You have taken on a huge responsibility when you really didn’t have to, but are so needed. Your calm, level-headed leadership is so appreciated in these times of turmoil. I can sleep at night.

I moved from ‘scary’ to TOTALLY TERRIFIED. Canadians have to sit down and ask: why is PP, who lost the election, lost his own seat, given so much airtime by our ‘cough’ ‘Canadian’ media? I see him more than our PM on the news. Why? WHY??? Bought and paid for by USA companies. F*ck Harper. 😡🤬

I don't think ANYONE has forgotten about climate change. We are on the doorstep of WWIII, and we need to make good decisions that keep money in the country.
Balance is hard to find in the sitution Canada is in! We have a lot of work to do and it ain't gonna be easy

The fact that most of us will not have noticed any real personal impact is demonstrative that postal service is ripe for change.

That may not have been the impact hoped for in the action.

Toronto Star is not in Postmedia - and according to Media Bias is just left of centre with high factual reporting. I get it online. $1 for six months as incentive right now.

I will miss your Toronto Star column. Your column is one of the few that I always read.

Hope you get back your health.
Best wishes.

If I can stop one heart from breaking
Emily Dickinson

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

I like the fact that during a press conference, the media here in Canada waits calmly for their turn to ask a question. Very different from the US where there’s a barrage of questions being screamed all at the same time as we saw in the oval office on Tuesday.

Oh, NO!! That should never happen. Why would we ever allow police from a fascist regime to operate within our borders? That's just a recipe for disaster.
US police need to stay on their side of the order. Period!

Yes, we were planning but not now.
yesterday a sailboat with a couple, their 12 yo daughter and friend were stopped, rammed by US Coast Guard en route to Pender Island from Victoria BC. Yes the normal route does enter US waters but "Right of Passage" means they can cross. They think it was ICE
