“The “banality of evil" was coined by Hannah Arendt to describe the bureaucratic ordinariness of Nazi Adolf Eichmann during his 1961 trial. We’re seeing some real, serious evil these days (watch Stephen Miller) but there’s an awful lot of banality too. Banality, stupidity, cowardice, and apathy.

Finalement, c’est plus compliqué qu’un changement d’administration le déneigement ça a l’air.

Après seulement deux bordées à Montréal.... des milliers de plaintes sur le déneigement
Les Montréalais ne sont pas satisfaits des premières opérations de déneigement, si l’on se fie aux milliers de plaintes au 311 depuis début décembre.

Sparklers shooting foot-long flames, a ceiling covered in flammable foam and a crowded basement with a narrow staircase exit are some of the avoidable hazards that fire experts, witnesses and an analysis of visual evidence suggest turned a festive bar in a Swiss Alpine resort into a deadly disaster.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Do you understand why the 51st State was not “a joke”?

Do you understand why annexing Greenland was not “a joke”?

The only people that thought Trump was joking were Americans with their heads up their asses, on both sides of the aisle. Your president is dangerous. What are you doing about it?!?!

Trump's regime has murdered people in the water. He has seized ships on the high seas. He has invaded a country and kidnapped their leader.
All bets are off with the United States.
Canada needs to build alliances with Europe and to be ready on the home front.

It seems like the USA 🇺🇸 are a mafia style country now. 😢 How did we get there? I don’t have any respect for Maduro though but principles are key in democracy!
Why is the American military not following laws anymore?

Lettre à réflexion d'un citoyen:

«À court terme, la solution la plus logique: Terre-Neuve &Québec disposent d’une hydroélectricité bas carbone à très bon coût.
Il faut ressusciter «la boucle Atlantique d’énergie électrique propre» entre les 5 provinces de l’Est.

Gift link for a fascinating & characteristically problematic NYTimes article:

What's problematic is the wholesale importation (pun intended) of the empty-headed zero-sum Trumpian view of trade. China sells & finances African solar, which is bad because...Africa won't build solar factories? C'mon
