Conservatives often seem unable to grasp the threat Donald Trump poses to Canada, and cheerleading the Venezuela affair fit with that. With Greenland, Mexico, Colombia and Cuba maybe next on the agenda, everyone needs to ask, why wouldn’t Canada be, too? www.thestar.com/politics/pol...
Bruce Arthur: Donald Trump runs a big red line through Canadian politics
The mercurial American president has divided us into those who see him as the monstrous danger he is and those who don't, Bruce Arthur writes.

This policy is illegal in Ontario.
Today in the New York Times:
"One year after the start of congestion pricing, traffic jams are less severe, streets are safer, and commute times are improving for travelers from well beyond Manhattan."

It's so basic, so true, that we should be terrified our leaders have shown us they are not up to the task.
Canada, like other western states, is worried about alienating Trump. But that just invites isolation next time, when it's your turn over the barrel, and everyone else stays silent for fear of alienating Trump.
Democracies worthy of the name must stand together for the rule of law, or fall apart.

It's wild that the PM of a NATO member feels compelled to put out a statement like this vis-à-vis the US government.

Unhinged. Incompetent. Unfit. Unstable.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:
-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

*Canada shifts nervously*
A year ago, I went to Copenhagen to write about the political crisis sparked by Trump over Greenland. Danes told me that the US can already do whatever it wants on the island.
Their conclusion: Trump just wants the U.S. to look larger on a map

I'm sorry but I'm not sure the label "progressive" applies if you can't wholeheartedly embrace the bare minimum of housing densification for the fourth largest city on the the continent.

These people never think about the personal implications of rolling up ladders of opportunity behind them. What if they want to stay close to family in the future but can't afford upkeep on their SFH? What if their children get priced out? Blithely antisocial behaviour.

Of all the competitive authoritarian developments of the past year I think the fall of CBS News is among the most chilling. That this can happen to easily and so quickly freaks me the fuck out.
Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

absolutely bizarre to see a violent, rogue american regime, which is threatening military attacks on a bunch of major trading partners and close allies, and openly fantasizing about hitler-style wars of territorial conquest, covered in the tone of horse-race political commentary

The US “openly flaunting international law sends a signal to all of us that every president and every prime minister is potentially a target of US military action. There doesn’t seem to be any constraints on what the Trump administration would consider.” — former Canadian ambassador to Venezuela

This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.
