Why aren't you condemning Trump's illegal actions!!
The reports of violence, arbitrary arrests, and intimidation tactics by the Iranian regime against its own people are profoundly concerning. Canada strongly condemns the killing of protesters, and urges Iran to allow for freedom of expression and peaceful assembly without fear of reprisal.

Canada is next to a dictatorship with no respect for international law, human rights, borders, or its own checks and balances.
The US dictator said in no uncertain terms that he plans to invade a sovereign, peaceful, democratic nation
We're next on his list.

Trump's words were spoken like a true sociopath
NYT: “Asked in a wide-ranging interview if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: ‘Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.’”

Let's start taking security more seriously by sanctioning the Trump regime for their illegal actions around the world (kidnapping, killing, telling lies about other countries, etc.).

An astute analysis of Canada's relationship with the USA.
New from me: Trump's invasion of Venezuela and threats against Greenland are forcing a reckoning for the international community. For Canada, it forces us to ask the question: Are Mark Carney's "Canada Strong" policies actually up to the task of protecting Canadian independence?
Canada’s economic Maginot Line
The US invasion of Venezuela and threats against Greenland are forcing world leaders to get real about the US threat to the international order. Here in Canada, it's highlighting how Mark Carney's Canada Strong policies aren't up to the task of protecting Canadian sovereignty.

I have heard of electric mining trucks that never need charging because they carry heavy loads downhill and then go back up light.
But now they are doing it with a 685 mile train journey. Amazing.

We saw a couple of snowy owls on the grid-road that runs south from Tuxford, SK, today. This one flew away when we tried to get closer for a better photo. The other was in-flight.

In our village (pop. 7,000) near Utrecht, the Netherlands, you can't get gasoline or diesel anymore; the last fuel station closed years ago. But for EV drivers, there's around 45 public charging posts, and a bunch of Tesla fast-chargers at the edge of the village, near the highway.

McKibben’s point is directionally right, even if simplified. Fossil fuels dominate global shipping ton-miles. Electrification + renewables don’t just cut CO₂ — they collapse fuel logistics chains. Energy becomes local. Trade shifts, ships don’t vanish — but power does.⚡ #disruption #EnergyTransition

This makes perfect sense because the Trump regime does not view any other nation as an "ally". This is very sad, but it is the reality in which we now all live. As Forest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does."
