“The Premier of Greenland said today, ‘We prefer to stay with Denmark’ - do you see that as the final word?”
TRUMP: “I disagree with him. That’s their problem. I don't know who he is. I don’t know anything about him. That's gonna be a big problem for him.”

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century.

If the US moves to take over Greenland – a threat we’d be foolish to dismiss – Canada would be forced to rethink every aspect of its relations with the US. Canadian officials need to start thinking though this nightmarish scenario now, not later. It would be a seismic event.

What is just crazy about this, aside from the need for this statement at all, is that Greenland already IS in the US sphere of influence. It's far cheaper for the US, in material, security, and reputational terms, to have Denmark continue administering Greenland and work within NATO on security.

As a teen in northern Ontario in the early 1990s, the excitement of the drive down to Toronto began somewhere around Orillia when you could pick up the CFNY signal on the car stereo and plug into a whole wider world of music that had not yet reached you in the sticks. Keen to see this!
In 1976, CFNY launched from a small suburban house just north of Toronto and went on to become one of the most influential punk, new wave, and alternative radio stations in the world.
"CFNY: The Spirit of Radio" premieres tomorrow at 9pm on TVO.

If Maduro were to escape captivity & return to Venezuela, you know that all the pipeline boosters out there would be saying "The return of Maduro to Venezuela makes a West Coast pipeline especially useful and urgent. We must capitalize now."

Careful silence when the US started killing people in international waters. Careful silence when a Canadian ICC justice was sanctioned by the US. Now we mumble vague things about international law and Venezuela. We’re losing more than just our voice.
