While I agree that #Canada cannot stand on its own against the US, I find it disheartening that world leaders have capitulated to #Trump. If several countries had banded together and stood up to the US we would all be better off. Is it lack of courage? www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Canada’s partial reprieve from U.S. tariffs depends on the USMCA, but that arrangement could soon fall apart

This is frightening.
This is phenomenal.
Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.
It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

It seems like a bad idea to buy fighter jets from a country that wants to annex us. Portugal and Germany seem to think so too. We have to find suppliers of military equipment who aren't American.
