“Threats of annexation, repeated and uncorrected, are not jokes. Diplomatic contempt, delivered casually and publicly, is not personality. Quiet engagement with provincial separatists is not curiosity.These are tools of pressure used by authoritarian governments that view sovereignty as conditional”

This time last year, we'd be freaking out. But this is a paper tiger and after his Davos disaster, and his complete climbdown on Greenland, no one takes him seriously on any of this crap. His administration's days are numbered. Stinks of death throes.

“What would it mean for Canada to walk away from 80 years of multilateral engagement? We would be weaker. Isolated. Left on our own in an age of kleptocrats and gangsters. That’s what Trump and Putin want. The question Canadians need to ask is: Is this what the Conservative Party of Canada wants?”

JD Vance blaming immigrants for Canada’s housing crisis is peak hypocrisy. The U.S. GOP broke its own housing market w/ 50-yr mortgages & Wall St landlords — now he’s importing MAGA scapegoating north while smearing CBC for telling the truth.
